* A staple of comic books. Franchise/{{Superman}} does it a lot.
** One of the best was in the first story arc of the 90's JLA. The Justice League are finally able to fight back against the Hyperclan, a group of White Martians who have dominated the entire world by mind control and the JLA themselves with their powers. Superman has a slugfest with Protex, the leader of the Martians, and we have this little exchange between the two very different aliens:
--->'''Protex:''' How STUPID are you? You let those cringing human sheep do what they want when YOU could rule the world! Stunted slaves! They look at YOU and see what they COULD have become... They FEAR you and they HATE you and you don't even have the guts to admit you DESPISE them in return! You know in your heart they're INFERIOR!\\
'''Superman:''' ''(punches Protex '''straight through the entire continental shelf''')'' They believe in me. And in my heart I believe in them.
** One story had Franchise/{{Batman}} reluctantly team up with a vampire to deal with an evil wizard. Superman arrives halfway through the story, but the vampire incessantly mocks him, saying he is nothing but a liability, since Supes is weak against magic. Superman tells him to shut up or else he will ''fly him into the sun''. He shuts up.
** ''Comicbook/LastSon'': General Zod is beating on Supes and claiming that it was all Jor-El's fault that Krypton and their people were destroyed. If Jor-El hadn't arrested him and sentenced him to the PhantomZone, Zod would have saved Krypton.
--->'''Superman''': Oh? Tell me, Great General, ''how'' would you have saved our world?\\
'''General Zod''': (''[[VillainousBreakdown loses his temper and the perfectly calm demeanor he had the whole story]]'') '''I WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY!'''
** And of course, when in trouble, Superman can always respond with "[[ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd I am a man!]]" ([[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall PUNCH]])
** ''Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'': Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} has just vaporized Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} -he thinks-, and then he blames Superman for it. Superman's retort?
--->'''Superman:''' (punching him across the room) Darkseid... SHUT THE HELL UP!
* Done comically in ''Comicbook/YoungJustice''. Robin, Superboy and Impulse have all been sent into manifestations of their greatest fears. Robin's is a direct spoof of ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', with the Joker parodying Lecter ("[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I can smell you, runt.]]") and lecturing Robin. The heroes discover that the best way to deal with these fears is for them to switch places. After Superboy and Impulse's fears have been dealt with, Robin realizes with horror that they left Impulse alone with the Joker. When they get there they find that Impulse has nearly driven Joker to (even more) madness by simply asking "Why?" over and over again.
* Averted during the Creator/MarkWaid ''Comicbook/TheFlash'' run, there was a really epic storyline called "ComicBook/TheReturnOfBarryAllen". It involved the Reverse Flash, Professor Zoom, being a lot faster than Wally. Zoom gives a BreakThemByTalking, and Wally keeps trying to do this, but Zoom's so much faster he dodges/beats the crap out of Wally each time without breaking his lecture.
* This happened a ''lot'' during the ComicBook/GreenLantern Arc ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar''. Primarily between Hal Jordan and his EvilCounterpart Sinestro.
** Most recently during the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" Arc. After killing Green Lantern [[spoiler:Laira, previously converted to the eponymous Red Lantern Corps]], Sinestro barely finishes taunting GL Hal Jordan - 'Look at that Jordan, another broken promise.' - when the hero grabs Sinestro by the collar, flies them both to the top of the Red Lantern Power Battery, and using the ring straps him into an 'electric chair.' This act unsuprisingly [[spoiler:leads to his initiation into the Red Lanterns.]] Less than 3 pages afterwards, [[spoiler:he pulls the switch]].
** ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' is practically ''made'' of these. The zombie villains are all twisted evil versions of deceased friends and family of the heroes, saying whatever they can to manipulate the emotions of their prey before feeding on their hearts. Not that delivering a Shut Up, Hannibal does much good. In a particularly brilliant moment of smartness, the Black Lanterns can feed off HeroicWillpower just as easily as fear or anger.
* At the end of ''ComicBook/TheAuthority Revolution'' the BigBad of the Arc is bragging that his control over the world has made it a better place. The Midnighter [[MadeOfPlasticine tears off his head, ripping out his spine in the process]], in a manner that would make ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' envious, with the words:
-->'''The Midnighter:''' Well then, I guess I just don't give a shit.
* Franchise/{{Batman}} does this almost as much as Superman:
** In ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', as Batman tracks him through a carnival house of mirrors, the Joker claims to have driven Commissioner Gordon mad, thus proving his point that "one bad day" can drive anyone insane as it did to him. He then tries to convince Batman that life is all a "monstrous, demented gag. So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?" Batman crashes through a mirror and says, "Because I've heard it before... and it wasn't funny the ''first'' time!" and punches the Joker. He then tells him that [[spoiler:Gordon is perfectly sane, thus disproving the Joker's point. "Maybe it was just you all the time."]]
** Another Batman example:
--->'''Captured Serial Killer''': Admit it, you live for the hunt as much as I do. Going after the freaks adds excitement to the game, but not as much as you need. Every time you put on that mask the craving comes back, the primal course, the push at the back of your mind. It's only a matter of time before it takes over and you--\\
'''Batman:''' Kill whoever's standing right next to me and calling me a psychopath?\\
'''Captured Serial Killer''': [[ShuttingUpNow I'll shut up now.]]
** In ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand'', Batman had this response to Mr. Freeze's EvilGloating:
--->'''Batman:''' My attempts to reason with you have always gone nowhere, Freeze, so forgive me if this time I don't even bother!
*** Which he punctuated with a punch to the face, knocking the villain out cold. (No pun intended.) If the Ultimate Clayface didn't show up five minutes later, he could have hauled Freeze to jail quickly.
* ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} has a habit of doing this. '''SCREW YOU'''!
** A particularly shining example has to be when Hecate attempts to seduce Hellboy to ruling by her side:
--->'''Hecate''': Accept the truth of your existence or be destroyed! You cannot escape your destiny!\\
'''Hellboy''': Gonna try.\\
'''Hecate''': Time is coming to ring down the curtain on man. Already, the four horsemen are loose in the world. It is for us to darken the sun, turn the moon to blood, and put out the stars. Then you and I alone, forever in the dark--\\
'''Hellboy''': Shut up! Not gonna happen... 'cause you're very, very ugly... and... '''you have a giant snake body'''!\\
'''''(impale!)'''''
** Subverted during the story "The Island". Hellboy repeatedly tells Hannibal to shut up, but since he's not really in a position to enforce that command, [[spoiler:because he's been stabbed through the chest by a giant monster and is bleeding to death]] ''Hannibal keeps talking''.
* In a ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' comic, Doctor Doom gives Reed a NotSoDifferent speech concerning his actions during ''ComicBook/CivilWar,'' which causes the Thing to give him a savage beating.
** [[http://fuckyeahgrantmorrison.tumblr.com/post/2110416599/from-fantastic-four-1234-issue-4-the Susan Richards gave Doom an epic Shut Up]] in the Creator/GrantMorrison-written ''1234'' after the Fantastic Four defeated his plans:
--->'''Susan''': Shut up. Stop trying to hurt us, you stupid, lonely, ignorant man!
--->'''Doom''': How dare you? I will destroy you, Susan Richards!
--->'''Susan''': Oh shut up and listen to someone else for once! Stop talking in that ridiculous way! What's your problem, Victor? What have we ever actually done to you to deserve this stupid waste of everyone's time? Are you listening to me? Sitting there [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with your stupid machines and your childish jealousy]], when you should be curing cancer or taking your people to the stars! What's the point of talking to you? Would you like me to explain this in a language you understand? Try anything like this ever again and I'll put a thousand force field bubbles inside that mighty brain of yours and burst it from the inside. Toys. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
* The ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' one-shot ''Girls Gone Dead'' has villain Laura Lochs giving a long BreakThemByTalking about God, her origin, her motives and other such things. Cassie's reply is "Keep clucking, bitch" and a punch to the face. Subverted in the sequel ''Hack/Slash vs. Chucky'' where Laura was expecting Cassie to try something during her BreakThemByTalking and kicks her in the face when she tries to attack.
** Subverted again in ''Something's Fishy''. As Mary Shelley Lovecraft is talking, Cassie starts sneaking up behind her, baseball bat in hand. Without even turning around or ceasing to talk, Mary ensnares Cassie in her tentacles.
** A good example in an episode where Cassie let herself be kidnapped by a serial killer formerly psychiatrist, who start analysing her psyché while torturing her, trying to figure out what led her to pursuing slashers. After Vlad arrives and help her get out, she takes the guy, tells him she is just "pretty fucked up" and throw him through the window.
* The one-off graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'' features a classic example of this, in which Batman not only brushes off the Joker's attempt to [[BreakThemByTalking break him by talking]] , but turns it into a devastating Lecture of his own which sends the Joker into a berserk rage -- in ''only three words'':
-->'''Joker:''' Uhh, God you disgust me. You have no charm at all, just... obviousness. Dumb, dull. Disappointing. Obvious. Shame on you. Obvious... and everybody knows. You wear your shame like a badge, because you don't have the balls to actually pin one on. Yes, just look at you. Desperate to be feared, you want to be perceived as a monster, dressed in black. And yet... you leave that little window. A glimpse at the perfection underneath. Obvious -- the chiseled good looks, not the jaw, the mouth of a monster... ''why'' do you let it be seen? Tell me ''why''.\\
'''Batman:''' [[spoiler:To ''mock'' you.]]
* ComicBook/AtomicRobo was once captured by a Soviet mad scientist and forced to endure a lecture that took up a ''page'' of the comic, explaining why this scientist wanted to destroy the human race in agonizingly trivial detail. Robo's summary hit all the major points.
-->'''Atomic Robo:''' So you're building a big dumb bomb to show everyone who the greatest scientist blah, blah, blah.
* When Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk fought Maestro, his EvilCounterpart from a BadFuture, and started losing, Maestro started a speech about how he knew his every move. Hulk's response? "Sing soprano, MotorMouth" and [[GroinAttack punching Maestro in the groin]].
* Another time involving the Hulk was when the Pantheon sent him to stop ComicBook/DoctorOctopus when the villain had gained adamantium arms. The Hulk's reaction to Ock's EvilGloating was simply to say, "Yeah. By the way, your fly's open." (Unfortunately, Doc Ock then proceeded to beat him senseless in one of the most notorious examples of TheWorfEffect in the Hulk's history.)
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Supergirl: Identity]]'', after Kara is brutally beaten up by Power Boy, including having her face '''dragged down the side of a skyscraper''', she wakes up in a bed next to a StalkerShrine devoted to her, bound in powerful, alien-tech restraints. Power Boy says a big speech about how much he loves her, that he knows best, and that the beating was her fault for making him angry. Supergirl blasts him with heat vision, calls him out that he's an asshole and that no one should ever hit someone that they love, then drops his house on him. He tries to escape, while still ranting, but Supergirl catches up to him and [[GroinAttack kicks him in the groin]].
--->'''Power Boy:''' Look, I'm just going to lay it all out because honesty is important in a strong relationship... I was born on Apokolips. Taken from the Armagetto Slums to serve [[{{ComicBook/Darkseid}} You-Know-Who]]... [[TrainingFromHell He made me strong]], trained me in the ways of the Earth so I could [[TheMole come here as a "hero" and]]... Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, because it changed the day you came to Apokolips. [[LoveAtFirstSight The most beautiful thing I had ever seen]]. Ever ''felt''. From that moment, I knew I had found my "Missing Half". I knew we would be together. And then you left... I couldn't eat. Sleep. Think. I knew that my true destiny wasn't with Darkseid and his stupid plans... So I followed you across the universe. I watched you try so hard to fit in, to find your way. All I wanted to do was hold you. Tell you how beautiful you were. But I knew you weren't ready to hear it... Sometimes we have to fall all the way down before someone can lift us up. You could be something so special, Kara... But you're lost. You're lost and you're too weak to find your way alone. Whenever you try... the monster in you comes out. Is this what you what to be? (''cups her face'') You need someone to take care of you, Kara. Someone who ''loves'' you to build to up... To make you into something you can be proud of. I love you, Kara. We can be perfect together, if you'll just let me fix you.\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''[[ShutUpHannibal destroys her restraints and burns his hand with heat vision]]'') We need to break up.\\
'''Power Boy:''' Aaaaaigh! What did you do?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' You hit me. You said you loved me... And you '''hit me'''. (''punches him through a wall to the outside'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' Y-You made me hit you! Because you don't listen, like now! Kara! I'm warning you! Stop it or I'll do it again! I'll hurt you again! [[StayInTheKitchen You can be happy if you just do what I tell you!]] I-- (''Supergirl rips his house from its foundation and rises into the sky'') Kara, I love you. Don't you want someone to take care of you!?\\
'''Supergirl:''' No one who says he loves you should hit you, '''ever'''. (''drops his house on him'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' (''FlashStep into outer space, pulls out his Father Box'') Ouch. Heh... Heh... Got some fight to her... Gonna have to work on that... Next time... And there ''will'' be a next time. Try to drop a house on me now. Father Box... Honey...\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''FlashStep up to him, [[GroinAttack knees him in the groin]]'') I out-flew Superman, "Honey". We're not done. (''grabs him by the scruff of his neck'') I don't know if you can hear me, so read my lips... Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... Or I'll break every bone in your body.
** In the ''Comicbook/HelOnEarth'', H'el talked Supergirl into helping him save Krypton, assuring that no one would suffer. She believed him... until she found out that he omitted several key details when he explained his plan.
--->'''Supergirl:''' H'el, you never said anything about sacrfice! About threatening this planet! About killing innocent people!\\
'''H'el:''' Killing? I'm not killing anyone! When we go back in time, this planet and its people will still exist, only thrust back to its own past! What happens to them today will be no more real than a bad dream! Surely you see that, beloved --\\
'''Supergirl:''' Don't call me that! You used me! You told me everything I wanted -- everything I needed -- to hear! And now people might be dying because I helped you!
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Supergirl Vol 2]]'' issue #15, Kara does this to villain Blackstarr several times:
--->'''Blackstarr:''' I may be undecided as to the old woman's fate, but yours is certain... death!\\
'''Supergirl:''' Listen — I've been romping through the cosmos since I was 15... And threats like THAT don't even make me work up a sweat!
** ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'': Supergirl to Mxyzptlk during the climax:
--->'''Mr. Mxyzptlk:''' I'm Mxyzptlk! Holder of the five keys that unlock the fifty-two layers of Hyper-reality! My mind has become one with all ten possible dimensions! Who are you to challenge me?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' I'm Supergirl! Defender of Earth! You humiliated me in school. You attacked my friends! You took me from my family! I have all the power you ever dreamed of! My Kryptonian cells are supercharged with the light of a million billion suns! And I'm not going to let you destroy the 3rd dimension!
* In Shotgun Opera, main character Sterling has a good response to a "you don't deserve her" speech: "FUCK YOU. I'm not about to roll over and die!"
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' gave a more literal ShutUpHannibal to Norman Osborn in [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/6/61766/1157569-siege_3_legion_cps_033_super.jpg The Siege storyline.]] It's since become something of a [[MemeticMutation Meme]] in Comic Book Forums.
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher''
** In the last issue of the story arc "ComicBook/WelcomeBackFrank", Punisher kills the BigBad's [[TheDragon Dragon]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scaring off her remaining henchmen]], and starts pouring gasoline through her house. Even then, she tries to [[BreakThemByTalking demoralize him]] about hypocritical his [[PayEvilUntoEvil "war on crime"]] is, how he's no better than her, etc. As Punisher starts leaving, she tells him he's damned. His response:
-->"Tell me something I don't know." ''(chucks a grenade inside)''
** In an older comic, Frank crosses path with the super powered mercenary Bushwhacker, who works out of his home with his wife. Frank eventually tracks him down and engages him in his own house. His wife tries to give him a "violence begets violence" speech. Frank just aims his gun at her, and tells her that she lives with, aids, and abets a known criminal, so she's not in any position to call him out.
* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim's Finest Hour'' has this:
-->'''Gideon:''' Getting rid of me... won't save you. You're your own worst enemies! Both of you! \\
'''Ramona:''' No, I'm pretty sure you're worse, dude. \\
'''Scott:''' You're definitely worse.
* ''ComicBook/IronMan'' has a hero-to-reporter example: Tony Stark delivers this to John Pillinger ([[BlatantLies who has nothing whatsoever to do with]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger John Pilger]]), a man who is interviewing him in regard to the weapons Tony designed for the military ''over a decade ago'', when Tony was ''nineteen''. Over the course of the interview, Pillinger is clearly determined to make Tony out to be as unsympathetic as possible; he interrupts Tony at every turn, gives Tony no chance to expand on his answers, and more or less dismisses ''incredibly'' significant medical breakthroughs as meaningless just because they aren't available in ''third-world countries''. He also brushes aside the fact that Tony hasn't designed weaponry for the military in over ten years, and has in fact put his efforts and resources into venues that could improve the world.\\
The real kicker comes when Tony, rather than attempt to make excuses for the damage the weapons he once designed have done, flat-out admits that he knows that no matter what he does, he will always have blood on his hands -- and Pillinger reacts as if Tony ''has'' given some long, rambling explanation to excuse himself from responsibility. Tony ends his statement by saying, with obvious sincerity, that he's trying to be a part of making the world a better place regardless. Pillinger responds with a caustic "...I see."\\
However, at the end of the session, Pillinger asks Tony why he agreed to the interview. Tony responds ''beautifully''.
-->'''Tony:''' I wanted to meet you. You've been making your investigative films for what, twenty years now? I wanted to ask: Have you changed anything? You've been uncovering disturbing things all over the world for twenty years now. Have you changed anything? You've worked very hard. Most people have no idea of the kind of work you've done. Intellectuals, critics, and activists follow your films closely, but culturally you're almost invisible, Mr. Pillinger. ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Have you changed anything]]''?
-->'''Pillinger:''' [[spoiler:I don't know.]]
-->'''Tony:''' [[spoiler:[[NotSoDifferent Me neither]]. (Then they shake hands)]]
* In issue 74 of the [[Comicbook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Sonic comics]], after the freedom fighters [[spoiler:find Robotnik on the walkway of some outer space facility, (up until that point they thought he was dead)]] there are at least [[VerbThis two]] [[IWillShowYouX varieties]] of ShutUpHannibal in a row:
-->'''Sonic''': You're toast if you don't tell me what happened to my family and the other roboticized mobians, [[spoiler:Ro"butt"nik]]!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Come now, hedgehog. Can't you at least take a moment to [[spoiler:welcome me back from the dead]]? Didn't your parents teach you better manners?
-->'''Sonic''': Why, you lousy...
-->''Sonic runs at [[spoiler:Robotnik]], but [[spoiler:Robotnik]] smacks him aside.''
-->'''Bunnie''': [[IWillShowYouX Ah'll show you manners!]]
-->''Bunnie then punches [[spoiler:Robotnik]] in the face, and Sonic and Tails stumble upon [[spoiler:Robotnik's sweatshop]].''
-->'''Tails''': Sonic, look!
-->'''Sonic''': I see it, Tails! ALL of the missing robians being forced to work in this suped-up outer-space sweat-shop!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Forced? Quite the contrary, Sonic. [[KickTheDog I've merely RESTORED their LACK of free will. They have absolutely no say in the matter.]] How can you say that I've done something wrong? Why, look at all the new jobs I've created!
-->'''Sonic''': [[VerbThis Create this!]]
-->''(Sonic then runs up at [[spoiler:Robotnik]] and knocks him off the walkway.)''
** Sonic's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Eggman in issue 200 is essentially a retort to a similar speech Eggman himself gave Sonic ''twenty-five issues earlier.''
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is riddled with these.
** First there is Deathtrap, lecturing Wade about the virtue of silence, having strapped Wade to a table with a giant teddy bear above that will smother/crush him to death. If [[RedBaron The Merc with the Mouth]] doesn't shut up, he will die. What does he do? ''He doesn't shut up.''
-->'''Deathtrap:''' "Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed."
** Next there is Deadpool's encounter with Batroc. You can't expect to use "Popinjay" in a sentence and not have Deadpool mock you. Batroc proceeds to kick Wade's ass for this. He makes the mistake in pushing Deadpool's cripple/friend out of a window, followed by another ShutUpHannibal , and Deadpool wiping the floor with Batroc.
** In the same series, Deadpool delivers a ShutUpHannibal to the Messiah, the bringer of peace to the world. Why? Because the peace the Messiah brings is Peace through lack of free will. Coincides with [[GroinAttack kicking Captain America in the nuts]]. All Canon.
* In the finale of the first arc of ComicBook/{{Spawn}} spin-off ''Sam & Twitch'', Twitch has caught the criminal responsible for all the murders in that story. She gives him a BreakingSpeech about how she will go free thanks to her [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] and, worst case scenario, will have to keep a low profile for a few months. And how she will then come back and slowly, for years, destroy his life and kill everybody he loves. At first it looks it worked as Twitch puts his gun down, but he immediately points it at her again and starts telling her her laws. When she continues to lecture him [[spoiler: Twitch shoots her]].
* In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', the villain Mortis has been [[MindRape mind-raping]] ComicBook/BlackCanary with visions of all the people she has regrets about, only to have this happen:
--> '''Mortis:''' "Your friends have dumped you again, haven't they? ''Haven't they?''"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Heh ''(sniff)'' No. No, lady, they haven't. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain You pulled the wrong trigger]]. Don't you know that?"\\
'''Mortis:''' "How do you ''know?'' How can you be ''certain''?"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Because they're my friends. [[ThePowerOfLove Because they love me]]. Now get the holy hell out of my brain. I won't warn you again."
* Superman's ''only line'' in ''ComicBook/LexLuthorManOfSteel''. After the more benevolent {{Perspective Flip}}ped VillainProtagonist we've seen of Luthor throughout the series, it hammers home the fact that Lex's justifications for committing atrocities in the name of "exposing" Superman as a threat are really twisted, and that he really is the bad guy. It also makes clear the fact, that despite however benevolent Lex has presented himself, he is ultimately nothing more than a self-deluding insane hypocritical villain. Which is confirmed by Lex's VillainousBreakdown, showing that at some level, ''he knows this.''
--->'''Superman:''' You're wrong. I ''can'' see your soul.
* The Captain Britain & [=MI13=] tie in with the Secret Invasion storyline of Marvel comics revealed that the global invasion force was just a cover for every Super-Skrull they had to invade Britain and steal all the Earth's magic straight from the source. After succeeding at killing Captain Britain and taking control over Earth's source of magic, the Super-Skrull Sorcerer Supreme stands over a woman who is, at the time, a civilian. A simple Muslim Doctor standing in the way. The Super-Skrull describes how Britain will be erased from existence, so that it had never been. When the Skrull empire takes us as slaves, ''then'' we would know ''true'' pride and glory. Cue the return with Excalibur.
--->'''ComicBook/CaptainBritain:''' I think you'll find, we already do. We just don't like to make a fuss.
* Hero-to-hero example - in the 200th issue of ''ComicBook/XFactor'' Guido gets into a fight with [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]], who tries to provoke him by mocking his superhero career. Guido just tells Ben that he played in a better football team than him. It worked a little too well, because an enraged Ben proceeds to beat the tar out of him.
* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': [[spoiler:As the comet is empowering Twilight, she and her friends give Chrysalis a verbal beatdown as Twilight [[CurbstompBattle gives Chrysalis a magical beatdown]].]]
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Your motivations are selfish, we fight because we know about things worth fighting for! [[ThePowerOfLove Love!]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship!]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood We have things that you can't hope to have! You envy us!]]\\
'''Queen Chrysalis:''' Stop... this... nonsense. You can't... defeat me.\\
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Ponies who can't do things themselves tell others they can't do it... '''I can stand up to you.'''
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'' the characters take [[AlphaBitch Tiffany's]] crap in stride for years until July of 2013, when Quill finally decided to tell her off.
* ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' pulls off a lovely one against Cole, a female protege of Comicbook/ThePunisher. Also a TakeThat against the DarkerAndEdgier school of comic-book storytelling.
--> '''Cole:''' You know what gives me the strength? [[DeathByOriginStory The loss.]] We're alike that way, I imagine. Admit it: nobody's who a stranger to that particular pain could ever be as driven as us.
--> '''Daredevil:''' ''Never'' - (throws his staff at her face, purposefully missing it by mere ''millimeters'') - don't you ''ever'' say that to me ever again. That is a repellent statement. It's a vomitous insult to every cop - every fireman - every soldier alive who steps up to fight for those who can't! [[SincerityMode I am sorry for your loss!]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech But if you genuinely believe that only the death of a loved one can motivate a human being to take up a cause...]] then get your pathetic, cynical [[PrecisionFStrike ass]] out of my way so I can do my job!
* ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is dead and buried. In life, he [[FaustianBargain sold his soul]] to [[GodOfEvil Chthon]] by using the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]] to bring his fiancée back from the dead, and now the [[DepravedDwarf Darkhold Dwarf]] has come to collect. He starts to move Morbius' body while prattling on, admitting he's talking too much for the hurry they're in as Chthon wants him warm. Suddenly Morbius' [[UndeathAlwaysEnds eyes snap open]] and he punches the Dwarf in the face: "Tell Chthon he can wait!"
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'': As the treacherous [[spoiler:Getaway]] is taking [[BookDumb Riptide]] to the oil reservoir, planning to [[spoiler:feed him to a pit of scraplets]], he goes on a lengthy HannibalLecture mocking Riptide and telling him that he's just an idiot that the rest of the crew didn't care about. This exchange follows:
-->'''[[spoiler:Getaway]]''': D'you know why Team Megatron [[OutOfFocus lost interest]] in you? D'you know why they didn't take you to Necroworld? Clue: it's because you're not like them. Brainstorm, Ratchet, Nightbeat, Skids. They're smart guys, Riptide. And you... you're really not.
-->'''Riptide''': (''visibly unimpressed'') I'm not a psychiatrist either but I'm pretty sure [[PsychologicalProjection this conversation says more about you than me]].
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': In Issue #11, [[spoiler: Master Overlord]] is ranting about his superiority to Sonic, only for Whisper to shoot him in the face.
-->'''Sonic''': Nice shot, Whisper. [[LampshadeHanging Ten points for timing.]]
----
** One of the best was in the first story arc of the 90's JLA. The Justice League are finally able to fight back against the Hyperclan, a group of White Martians who have dominated the entire world by mind control and the JLA themselves with their powers. Superman has a slugfest with Protex, the leader of the Martians, and we have this little exchange between the two very different aliens:
--->'''Protex:''' How STUPID are you? You let those cringing human sheep do what they want when YOU could rule the world! Stunted slaves! They look at YOU and see what they COULD have become... They FEAR you and they HATE you and you don't even have the guts to admit you DESPISE them in return! You know in your heart they're INFERIOR!\\
'''Superman:''' ''(punches Protex '''straight through the entire continental shelf''')'' They believe in me. And in my heart I believe in them.
** One story had Franchise/{{Batman}} reluctantly team up with a vampire to deal with an evil wizard. Superman arrives halfway through the story, but the vampire incessantly mocks him, saying he is nothing but a liability, since Supes is weak against magic. Superman tells him to shut up or else he will ''fly him into the sun''. He shuts up.
** ''Comicbook/LastSon'': General Zod is beating on Supes and claiming that it was all Jor-El's fault that Krypton and their people were destroyed. If Jor-El hadn't arrested him and sentenced him to the PhantomZone, Zod would have saved Krypton.
--->'''Superman''': Oh? Tell me, Great General, ''how'' would you have saved our world?\\
'''General Zod''': (''[[VillainousBreakdown loses his temper and the perfectly calm demeanor he had the whole story]]'') '''I WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY!'''
** And of course, when in trouble, Superman can always respond with "[[ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd I am a man!]]" ([[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall PUNCH]])
** ''Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'': Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} has just vaporized Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} -he thinks-, and then he blames Superman for it. Superman's retort?
--->'''Superman:''' (punching him across the room) Darkseid... SHUT THE HELL UP!
* Done comically in ''Comicbook/YoungJustice''. Robin, Superboy and Impulse have all been sent into manifestations of their greatest fears. Robin's is a direct spoof of ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', with the Joker parodying Lecter ("[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I can smell you, runt.]]") and lecturing Robin. The heroes discover that the best way to deal with these fears is for them to switch places. After Superboy and Impulse's fears have been dealt with, Robin realizes with horror that they left Impulse alone with the Joker. When they get there they find that Impulse has nearly driven Joker to (even more) madness by simply asking "Why?" over and over again.
* Averted during the Creator/MarkWaid ''Comicbook/TheFlash'' run, there was a really epic storyline called "ComicBook/TheReturnOfBarryAllen". It involved the Reverse Flash, Professor Zoom, being a lot faster than Wally. Zoom gives a BreakThemByTalking, and Wally keeps trying to do this, but Zoom's so much faster he dodges/beats the crap out of Wally each time without breaking his lecture.
* This happened a ''lot'' during the ComicBook/GreenLantern Arc ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar''. Primarily between Hal Jordan and his EvilCounterpart Sinestro.
** Most recently during the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" Arc. After killing Green Lantern [[spoiler:Laira, previously converted to the eponymous Red Lantern Corps]], Sinestro barely finishes taunting GL Hal Jordan - 'Look at that Jordan, another broken promise.' - when the hero grabs Sinestro by the collar, flies them both to the top of the Red Lantern Power Battery, and using the ring straps him into an 'electric chair.' This act unsuprisingly [[spoiler:leads to his initiation into the Red Lanterns.]] Less than 3 pages afterwards, [[spoiler:he pulls the switch]].
** ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' is practically ''made'' of these. The zombie villains are all twisted evil versions of deceased friends and family of the heroes, saying whatever they can to manipulate the emotions of their prey before feeding on their hearts. Not that delivering a Shut Up, Hannibal does much good. In a particularly brilliant moment of smartness, the Black Lanterns can feed off HeroicWillpower just as easily as fear or anger.
* At the end of ''ComicBook/TheAuthority Revolution'' the BigBad of the Arc is bragging that his control over the world has made it a better place. The Midnighter [[MadeOfPlasticine tears off his head, ripping out his spine in the process]], in a manner that would make ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' envious, with the words:
-->'''The Midnighter:''' Well then, I guess I just don't give a shit.
* Franchise/{{Batman}} does this almost as much as Superman:
** In ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', as Batman tracks him through a carnival house of mirrors, the Joker claims to have driven Commissioner Gordon mad, thus proving his point that "one bad day" can drive anyone insane as it did to him. He then tries to convince Batman that life is all a "monstrous, demented gag. So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?" Batman crashes through a mirror and says, "Because I've heard it before... and it wasn't funny the ''first'' time!" and punches the Joker. He then tells him that [[spoiler:Gordon is perfectly sane, thus disproving the Joker's point. "Maybe it was just you all the time."]]
** Another Batman example:
--->'''Captured Serial Killer''': Admit it, you live for the hunt as much as I do. Going after the freaks adds excitement to the game, but not as much as you need. Every time you put on that mask the craving comes back, the primal course, the push at the back of your mind. It's only a matter of time before it takes over and you--\\
'''Batman:''' Kill whoever's standing right next to me and calling me a psychopath?\\
'''Captured Serial Killer''': [[ShuttingUpNow I'll shut up now.]]
** In ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand'', Batman had this response to Mr. Freeze's EvilGloating:
--->'''Batman:''' My attempts to reason with you have always gone nowhere, Freeze, so forgive me if this time I don't even bother!
*** Which he punctuated with a punch to the face, knocking the villain out cold. (No pun intended.) If the Ultimate Clayface didn't show up five minutes later, he could have hauled Freeze to jail quickly.
* ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} has a habit of doing this. '''SCREW YOU'''!
** A particularly shining example has to be when Hecate attempts to seduce Hellboy to ruling by her side:
--->'''Hecate''': Accept the truth of your existence or be destroyed! You cannot escape your destiny!\\
'''Hellboy''': Gonna try.\\
'''Hecate''': Time is coming to ring down the curtain on man. Already, the four horsemen are loose in the world. It is for us to darken the sun, turn the moon to blood, and put out the stars. Then you and I alone, forever in the dark--\\
'''Hellboy''': Shut up! Not gonna happen... 'cause you're very, very ugly... and... '''you have a giant snake body'''!\\
'''''(impale!)'''''
** Subverted during the story "The Island". Hellboy repeatedly tells Hannibal to shut up, but since he's not really in a position to enforce that command, [[spoiler:because he's been stabbed through the chest by a giant monster and is bleeding to death]] ''Hannibal keeps talking''.
* In a ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' comic, Doctor Doom gives Reed a NotSoDifferent speech concerning his actions during ''ComicBook/CivilWar,'' which causes the Thing to give him a savage beating.
** [[http://fuckyeahgrantmorrison.tumblr.com/post/2110416599/from-fantastic-four-1234-issue-4-the Susan Richards gave Doom an epic Shut Up]] in the Creator/GrantMorrison-written ''1234'' after the Fantastic Four defeated his plans:
--->'''Susan''': Shut up. Stop trying to hurt us, you stupid, lonely, ignorant man!
--->'''Doom''': How dare you? I will destroy you, Susan Richards!
--->'''Susan''': Oh shut up and listen to someone else for once! Stop talking in that ridiculous way! What's your problem, Victor? What have we ever actually done to you to deserve this stupid waste of everyone's time? Are you listening to me? Sitting there [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with your stupid machines and your childish jealousy]], when you should be curing cancer or taking your people to the stars! What's the point of talking to you? Would you like me to explain this in a language you understand? Try anything like this ever again and I'll put a thousand force field bubbles inside that mighty brain of yours and burst it from the inside. Toys. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
* The ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' one-shot ''Girls Gone Dead'' has villain Laura Lochs giving a long BreakThemByTalking about God, her origin, her motives and other such things. Cassie's reply is "Keep clucking, bitch" and a punch to the face. Subverted in the sequel ''Hack/Slash vs. Chucky'' where Laura was expecting Cassie to try something during her BreakThemByTalking and kicks her in the face when she tries to attack.
** Subverted again in ''Something's Fishy''. As Mary Shelley Lovecraft is talking, Cassie starts sneaking up behind her, baseball bat in hand. Without even turning around or ceasing to talk, Mary ensnares Cassie in her tentacles.
** A good example in an episode where Cassie let herself be kidnapped by a serial killer formerly psychiatrist, who start analysing her psyché while torturing her, trying to figure out what led her to pursuing slashers. After Vlad arrives and help her get out, she takes the guy, tells him she is just "pretty fucked up" and throw him through the window.
* The one-off graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'' features a classic example of this, in which Batman not only brushes off the Joker's attempt to [[BreakThemByTalking break him by talking]] , but turns it into a devastating Lecture of his own which sends the Joker into a berserk rage -- in ''only three words'':
-->'''Joker:''' Uhh, God you disgust me. You have no charm at all, just... obviousness. Dumb, dull. Disappointing. Obvious. Shame on you. Obvious... and everybody knows. You wear your shame like a badge, because you don't have the balls to actually pin one on. Yes, just look at you. Desperate to be feared, you want to be perceived as a monster, dressed in black. And yet... you leave that little window. A glimpse at the perfection underneath. Obvious -- the chiseled good looks, not the jaw, the mouth of a monster... ''why'' do you let it be seen? Tell me ''why''.\\
'''Batman:''' [[spoiler:To ''mock'' you.]]
* ComicBook/AtomicRobo was once captured by a Soviet mad scientist and forced to endure a lecture that took up a ''page'' of the comic, explaining why this scientist wanted to destroy the human race in agonizingly trivial detail. Robo's summary hit all the major points.
-->'''Atomic Robo:''' So you're building a big dumb bomb to show everyone who the greatest scientist blah, blah, blah.
* When Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk fought Maestro, his EvilCounterpart from a BadFuture, and started losing, Maestro started a speech about how he knew his every move. Hulk's response? "Sing soprano, MotorMouth" and [[GroinAttack punching Maestro in the groin]].
* Another time involving the Hulk was when the Pantheon sent him to stop ComicBook/DoctorOctopus when the villain had gained adamantium arms. The Hulk's reaction to Ock's EvilGloating was simply to say, "Yeah. By the way, your fly's open." (Unfortunately, Doc Ock then proceeded to beat him senseless in one of the most notorious examples of TheWorfEffect in the Hulk's history.)
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Supergirl: Identity]]'', after Kara is brutally beaten up by Power Boy, including having her face '''dragged down the side of a skyscraper''', she wakes up in a bed next to a StalkerShrine devoted to her, bound in powerful, alien-tech restraints. Power Boy says a big speech about how much he loves her, that he knows best, and that the beating was her fault for making him angry. Supergirl blasts him with heat vision, calls him out that he's an asshole and that no one should ever hit someone that they love, then drops his house on him. He tries to escape, while still ranting, but Supergirl catches up to him and [[GroinAttack kicks him in the groin]].
--->'''Power Boy:''' Look, I'm just going to lay it all out because honesty is important in a strong relationship... I was born on Apokolips. Taken from the Armagetto Slums to serve [[{{ComicBook/Darkseid}} You-Know-Who]]... [[TrainingFromHell He made me strong]], trained me in the ways of the Earth so I could [[TheMole come here as a "hero" and]]... Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, because it changed the day you came to Apokolips. [[LoveAtFirstSight The most beautiful thing I had ever seen]]. Ever ''felt''. From that moment, I knew I had found my "Missing Half". I knew we would be together. And then you left... I couldn't eat. Sleep. Think. I knew that my true destiny wasn't with Darkseid and his stupid plans... So I followed you across the universe. I watched you try so hard to fit in, to find your way. All I wanted to do was hold you. Tell you how beautiful you were. But I knew you weren't ready to hear it... Sometimes we have to fall all the way down before someone can lift us up. You could be something so special, Kara... But you're lost. You're lost and you're too weak to find your way alone. Whenever you try... the monster in you comes out. Is this what you what to be? (''cups her face'') You need someone to take care of you, Kara. Someone who ''loves'' you to build to up... To make you into something you can be proud of. I love you, Kara. We can be perfect together, if you'll just let me fix you.\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''[[ShutUpHannibal destroys her restraints and burns his hand with heat vision]]'') We need to break up.\\
'''Power Boy:''' Aaaaaigh! What did you do?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' You hit me. You said you loved me... And you '''hit me'''. (''punches him through a wall to the outside'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' Y-You made me hit you! Because you don't listen, like now! Kara! I'm warning you! Stop it or I'll do it again! I'll hurt you again! [[StayInTheKitchen You can be happy if you just do what I tell you!]] I-- (''Supergirl rips his house from its foundation and rises into the sky'') Kara, I love you. Don't you want someone to take care of you!?\\
'''Supergirl:''' No one who says he loves you should hit you, '''ever'''. (''drops his house on him'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' (''FlashStep into outer space, pulls out his Father Box'') Ouch. Heh... Heh... Got some fight to her... Gonna have to work on that... Next time... And there ''will'' be a next time. Try to drop a house on me now. Father Box... Honey...\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''FlashStep up to him, [[GroinAttack knees him in the groin]]'') I out-flew Superman, "Honey". We're not done. (''grabs him by the scruff of his neck'') I don't know if you can hear me, so read my lips... Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... Or I'll break every bone in your body.
** In the ''Comicbook/HelOnEarth'', H'el talked Supergirl into helping him save Krypton, assuring that no one would suffer. She believed him... until she found out that he omitted several key details when he explained his plan.
--->'''Supergirl:''' H'el, you never said anything about sacrfice! About threatening this planet! About killing innocent people!\\
'''H'el:''' Killing? I'm not killing anyone! When we go back in time, this planet and its people will still exist, only thrust back to its own past! What happens to them today will be no more real than a bad dream! Surely you see that, beloved --\\
'''Supergirl:''' Don't call me that! You used me! You told me everything I wanted -- everything I needed -- to hear! And now people might be dying because I helped you!
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Supergirl Vol 2]]'' issue #15, Kara does this to villain Blackstarr several times:
--->'''Blackstarr:''' I may be undecided as to the old woman's fate, but yours is certain... death!\\
'''Supergirl:''' Listen — I've been romping through the cosmos since I was 15... And threats like THAT don't even make me work up a sweat!
** ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'': Supergirl to Mxyzptlk during the climax:
--->'''Mr. Mxyzptlk:''' I'm Mxyzptlk! Holder of the five keys that unlock the fifty-two layers of Hyper-reality! My mind has become one with all ten possible dimensions! Who are you to challenge me?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' I'm Supergirl! Defender of Earth! You humiliated me in school. You attacked my friends! You took me from my family! I have all the power you ever dreamed of! My Kryptonian cells are supercharged with the light of a million billion suns! And I'm not going to let you destroy the 3rd dimension!
* In Shotgun Opera, main character Sterling has a good response to a "you don't deserve her" speech: "FUCK YOU. I'm not about to roll over and die!"
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' gave a more literal ShutUpHannibal to Norman Osborn in [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/6/61766/1157569-siege_3_legion_cps_033_super.jpg The Siege storyline.]] It's since become something of a [[MemeticMutation Meme]] in Comic Book Forums.
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher''
** In the last issue of the story arc "ComicBook/WelcomeBackFrank", Punisher kills the BigBad's [[TheDragon Dragon]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scaring off her remaining henchmen]], and starts pouring gasoline through her house. Even then, she tries to [[BreakThemByTalking demoralize him]] about hypocritical his [[PayEvilUntoEvil "war on crime"]] is, how he's no better than her, etc. As Punisher starts leaving, she tells him he's damned. His response:
-->"Tell me something I don't know." ''(chucks a grenade inside)''
** In an older comic, Frank crosses path with the super powered mercenary Bushwhacker, who works out of his home with his wife. Frank eventually tracks him down and engages him in his own house. His wife tries to give him a "violence begets violence" speech. Frank just aims his gun at her, and tells her that she lives with, aids, and abets a known criminal, so she's not in any position to call him out.
* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim's Finest Hour'' has this:
-->'''Gideon:''' Getting rid of me... won't save you. You're your own worst enemies! Both of you! \\
'''Ramona:''' No, I'm pretty sure you're worse, dude. \\
'''Scott:''' You're definitely worse.
* ''ComicBook/IronMan'' has a hero-to-reporter example: Tony Stark delivers this to John Pillinger ([[BlatantLies who has nothing whatsoever to do with]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger John Pilger]]), a man who is interviewing him in regard to the weapons Tony designed for the military ''over a decade ago'', when Tony was ''nineteen''. Over the course of the interview, Pillinger is clearly determined to make Tony out to be as unsympathetic as possible; he interrupts Tony at every turn, gives Tony no chance to expand on his answers, and more or less dismisses ''incredibly'' significant medical breakthroughs as meaningless just because they aren't available in ''third-world countries''. He also brushes aside the fact that Tony hasn't designed weaponry for the military in over ten years, and has in fact put his efforts and resources into venues that could improve the world.\\
The real kicker comes when Tony, rather than attempt to make excuses for the damage the weapons he once designed have done, flat-out admits that he knows that no matter what he does, he will always have blood on his hands -- and Pillinger reacts as if Tony ''has'' given some long, rambling explanation to excuse himself from responsibility. Tony ends his statement by saying, with obvious sincerity, that he's trying to be a part of making the world a better place regardless. Pillinger responds with a caustic "...I see."\\
However, at the end of the session, Pillinger asks Tony why he agreed to the interview. Tony responds ''beautifully''.
-->'''Tony:''' I wanted to meet you. You've been making your investigative films for what, twenty years now? I wanted to ask: Have you changed anything? You've been uncovering disturbing things all over the world for twenty years now. Have you changed anything? You've worked very hard. Most people have no idea of the kind of work you've done. Intellectuals, critics, and activists follow your films closely, but culturally you're almost invisible, Mr. Pillinger. ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Have you changed anything]]''?
-->'''Pillinger:''' [[spoiler:I don't know.]]
-->'''Tony:''' [[spoiler:[[NotSoDifferent Me neither]]. (Then they shake hands)]]
* In issue 74 of the [[Comicbook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Sonic comics]], after the freedom fighters [[spoiler:find Robotnik on the walkway of some outer space facility, (up until that point they thought he was dead)]] there are at least [[VerbThis two]] [[IWillShowYouX varieties]] of ShutUpHannibal in a row:
-->'''Sonic''': You're toast if you don't tell me what happened to my family and the other roboticized mobians, [[spoiler:Ro"butt"nik]]!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Come now, hedgehog. Can't you at least take a moment to [[spoiler:welcome me back from the dead]]? Didn't your parents teach you better manners?
-->'''Sonic''': Why, you lousy...
-->''Sonic runs at [[spoiler:Robotnik]], but [[spoiler:Robotnik]] smacks him aside.''
-->'''Bunnie''': [[IWillShowYouX Ah'll show you manners!]]
-->''Bunnie then punches [[spoiler:Robotnik]] in the face, and Sonic and Tails stumble upon [[spoiler:Robotnik's sweatshop]].''
-->'''Tails''': Sonic, look!
-->'''Sonic''': I see it, Tails! ALL of the missing robians being forced to work in this suped-up outer-space sweat-shop!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Forced? Quite the contrary, Sonic. [[KickTheDog I've merely RESTORED their LACK of free will. They have absolutely no say in the matter.]] How can you say that I've done something wrong? Why, look at all the new jobs I've created!
-->'''Sonic''': [[VerbThis Create this!]]
-->''(Sonic then runs up at [[spoiler:Robotnik]] and knocks him off the walkway.)''
** Sonic's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Eggman in issue 200 is essentially a retort to a similar speech Eggman himself gave Sonic ''twenty-five issues earlier.''
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is riddled with these.
** First there is Deathtrap, lecturing Wade about the virtue of silence, having strapped Wade to a table with a giant teddy bear above that will smother/crush him to death. If [[RedBaron The Merc with the Mouth]] doesn't shut up, he will die. What does he do? ''He doesn't shut up.''
-->'''Deathtrap:''' "Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed."
** Next there is Deadpool's encounter with Batroc. You can't expect to use "Popinjay" in a sentence and not have Deadpool mock you. Batroc proceeds to kick Wade's ass for this. He makes the mistake in pushing Deadpool's cripple/friend out of a window, followed by another ShutUpHannibal , and Deadpool wiping the floor with Batroc.
** In the same series, Deadpool delivers a ShutUpHannibal to the Messiah, the bringer of peace to the world. Why? Because the peace the Messiah brings is Peace through lack of free will. Coincides with [[GroinAttack kicking Captain America in the nuts]]. All Canon.
* In the finale of the first arc of ComicBook/{{Spawn}} spin-off ''Sam & Twitch'', Twitch has caught the criminal responsible for all the murders in that story. She gives him a BreakingSpeech about how she will go free thanks to her [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] and, worst case scenario, will have to keep a low profile for a few months. And how she will then come back and slowly, for years, destroy his life and kill everybody he loves. At first it looks it worked as Twitch puts his gun down, but he immediately points it at her again and starts telling her her laws. When she continues to lecture him [[spoiler: Twitch shoots her]].
* In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', the villain Mortis has been [[MindRape mind-raping]] ComicBook/BlackCanary with visions of all the people she has regrets about, only to have this happen:
--> '''Mortis:''' "Your friends have dumped you again, haven't they? ''Haven't they?''"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Heh ''(sniff)'' No. No, lady, they haven't. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain You pulled the wrong trigger]]. Don't you know that?"\\
'''Mortis:''' "How do you ''know?'' How can you be ''certain''?"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Because they're my friends. [[ThePowerOfLove Because they love me]]. Now get the holy hell out of my brain. I won't warn you again."
* Superman's ''only line'' in ''ComicBook/LexLuthorManOfSteel''. After the more benevolent {{Perspective Flip}}ped VillainProtagonist we've seen of Luthor throughout the series, it hammers home the fact that Lex's justifications for committing atrocities in the name of "exposing" Superman as a threat are really twisted, and that he really is the bad guy. It also makes clear the fact, that despite however benevolent Lex has presented himself, he is ultimately nothing more than a self-deluding insane hypocritical villain. Which is confirmed by Lex's VillainousBreakdown, showing that at some level, ''he knows this.''
--->'''Superman:''' You're wrong. I ''can'' see your soul.
* The Captain Britain & [=MI13=] tie in with the Secret Invasion storyline of Marvel comics revealed that the global invasion force was just a cover for every Super-Skrull they had to invade Britain and steal all the Earth's magic straight from the source. After succeeding at killing Captain Britain and taking control over Earth's source of magic, the Super-Skrull Sorcerer Supreme stands over a woman who is, at the time, a civilian. A simple Muslim Doctor standing in the way. The Super-Skrull describes how Britain will be erased from existence, so that it had never been. When the Skrull empire takes us as slaves, ''then'' we would know ''true'' pride and glory. Cue the return with Excalibur.
--->'''ComicBook/CaptainBritain:''' I think you'll find, we already do. We just don't like to make a fuss.
* Hero-to-hero example - in the 200th issue of ''ComicBook/XFactor'' Guido gets into a fight with [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]], who tries to provoke him by mocking his superhero career. Guido just tells Ben that he played in a better football team than him. It worked a little too well, because an enraged Ben proceeds to beat the tar out of him.
* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': [[spoiler:As the comet is empowering Twilight, she and her friends give Chrysalis a verbal beatdown as Twilight [[CurbstompBattle gives Chrysalis a magical beatdown]].]]
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Your motivations are selfish, we fight because we know about things worth fighting for! [[ThePowerOfLove Love!]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship!]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood We have things that you can't hope to have! You envy us!]]\\
'''Queen Chrysalis:''' Stop... this... nonsense. You can't... defeat me.\\
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Ponies who can't do things themselves tell others they can't do it... '''I can stand up to you.'''
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'' the characters take [[AlphaBitch Tiffany's]] crap in stride for years until July of 2013, when Quill finally decided to tell her off.
* ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' pulls off a lovely one against Cole, a female protege of Comicbook/ThePunisher. Also a TakeThat against the DarkerAndEdgier school of comic-book storytelling.
--> '''Cole:''' You know what gives me the strength? [[DeathByOriginStory The loss.]] We're alike that way, I imagine. Admit it: nobody's who a stranger to that particular pain could ever be as driven as us.
--> '''Daredevil:''' ''Never'' - (throws his staff at her face, purposefully missing it by mere ''millimeters'') - don't you ''ever'' say that to me ever again. That is a repellent statement. It's a vomitous insult to every cop - every fireman - every soldier alive who steps up to fight for those who can't! [[SincerityMode I am sorry for your loss!]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech But if you genuinely believe that only the death of a loved one can motivate a human being to take up a cause...]] then get your pathetic, cynical [[PrecisionFStrike ass]] out of my way so I can do my job!
* ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is dead and buried. In life, he [[FaustianBargain sold his soul]] to [[GodOfEvil Chthon]] by using the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]] to bring his fiancée back from the dead, and now the [[DepravedDwarf Darkhold Dwarf]] has come to collect. He starts to move Morbius' body while prattling on, admitting he's talking too much for the hurry they're in as Chthon wants him warm. Suddenly Morbius' [[UndeathAlwaysEnds eyes snap open]] and he punches the Dwarf in the face: "Tell Chthon he can wait!"
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'': As the treacherous [[spoiler:Getaway]] is taking [[BookDumb Riptide]] to the oil reservoir, planning to [[spoiler:feed him to a pit of scraplets]], he goes on a lengthy HannibalLecture mocking Riptide and telling him that he's just an idiot that the rest of the crew didn't care about. This exchange follows:
-->'''[[spoiler:Getaway]]''': D'you know why Team Megatron [[OutOfFocus lost interest]] in you? D'you know why they didn't take you to Necroworld? Clue: it's because you're not like them. Brainstorm, Ratchet, Nightbeat, Skids. They're smart guys, Riptide. And you... you're really not.
-->'''Riptide''': (''visibly unimpressed'') I'm not a psychiatrist either but I'm pretty sure [[PsychologicalProjection this conversation says more about you than me]].
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': In Issue #11, [[spoiler: Master Overlord]] is ranting about his superiority to Sonic, only for Whisper to shoot him in the face.
-->'''Sonic''': Nice shot, Whisper. [[LampshadeHanging Ten points for timing.]]

to:
** One of the best was in the first story arc of the 90's JLA. The Justice League are finally able to fight back against the Hyperclan, a group of White Martians who have dominated the entire world by mind control and the JLA themselves with their powers. Superman has a slugfest with Protex, the leader of the Martians, and we have this little exchange between the two very different aliens:
--->'''Protex:''' How STUPID are you? You let those cringing human sheep do what they want when YOU could rule the world! Stunted slaves! They look at YOU and see what they COULD have become... They FEAR you and they HATE you and you don't even have the guts to admit you DESPISE them in return! You know in your heart they're INFERIOR!\\
'''Superman:''' ''(punches Protex '''straight through the entire continental shelf''')'' They believe in me. And in my heart I believe in them.
** One story had Franchise/{{Batman}} reluctantly team up with a vampire to deal with an evil wizard. Superman arrives halfway through the story, but the vampire incessantly mocks him, saying he is nothing but a liability, since Supes is weak against magic. Superman tells him to shut up or else he will ''fly him into the sun''. He shuts up.
** ''Comicbook/LastSon'': General Zod is beating on Supes and claiming that it was all Jor-El's fault that Krypton and their people were destroyed. If Jor-El hadn't arrested him and sentenced him to the PhantomZone, Zod would have saved Krypton.
--->'''Superman''': Oh? Tell me, Great General, ''how'' would you have saved our world?\\
'''General Zod''': (''[[VillainousBreakdown loses his temper and the perfectly calm demeanor he had the whole story]]'') '''I WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY!'''
** And of course, when in trouble, Superman can always respond with "[[ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd I am a man!]]" ([[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall PUNCH]])
** ''Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'': Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} has just vaporized Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} -he thinks-, and then he blames Superman for it. Superman's retort?
--->'''Superman:''' (punching him across the room) Darkseid... SHUT THE HELL UP!
* Done comically in ''Comicbook/YoungJustice''. Robin, Superboy and Impulse have all been sent into manifestations of their greatest fears. Robin's is a direct spoof of ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', with the Joker parodying Lecter ("[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar I can smell you, runt.]]") and lecturing Robin. The heroes discover that the best way to deal with these fears is for them to switch places. After Superboy and Impulse's fears have been dealt with, Robin realizes with horror that they left Impulse alone with the Joker. When they get there they find that Impulse has nearly driven Joker to (even more) madness by simply asking "Why?" over and over again.
* Averted during the Creator/MarkWaid ''Comicbook/TheFlash'' run, there was a really epic storyline called "ComicBook/TheReturnOfBarryAllen". It involved the Reverse Flash, Professor Zoom, being a lot faster than Wally. Zoom gives a BreakThemByTalking, and Wally keeps trying to do this, but Zoom's so much faster he dodges/beats the crap out of Wally each time without breaking his lecture.
* This happened a ''lot'' during the ComicBook/GreenLantern Arc ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar''. Primarily between Hal Jordan and his EvilCounterpart Sinestro.
** Most recently during the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" Arc. After killing Green Lantern [[spoiler:Laira, previously converted to the eponymous Red Lantern Corps]], Sinestro barely finishes taunting GL Hal Jordan - 'Look at that Jordan, another broken promise.' - when the hero grabs Sinestro by the collar, flies them both to the top of the Red Lantern Power Battery, and using the ring straps him into an 'electric chair.' This act unsuprisingly [[spoiler:leads to his initiation into the Red Lanterns.]] Less than 3 pages afterwards, [[spoiler:he pulls the switch]].
** ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' is practically ''made'' of these. The zombie villains are all twisted evil versions of deceased friends and family of the heroes, saying whatever they can to manipulate the emotions of their prey before feeding on their hearts. Not that delivering a Shut Up, Hannibal does much good. In a particularly brilliant moment of smartness, the Black Lanterns can feed off HeroicWillpower just as easily as fear or anger.
* At the end of ''ComicBook/TheAuthority Revolution'' the BigBad of the Arc is bragging that his control over the world has made it a better place. The Midnighter [[MadeOfPlasticine tears off his head, ripping out his spine in the process]], in a manner that would make ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' envious, with the words:
-->'''The Midnighter:''' Well then, I guess I just don't give a shit.
* Franchise/{{Batman}} does this almost as much as Superman:
** In ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', as Batman tracks him through a carnival house of mirrors, the Joker claims to have driven Commissioner Gordon mad, thus proving his point that "one bad day" can drive anyone insane as it did to him. He then tries to convince Batman that life is all a "monstrous, demented gag. So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?" Batman crashes through a mirror and says, "Because I've heard it before... and it wasn't funny the ''first'' time!" and punches the Joker. He then tells him that [[spoiler:Gordon is perfectly sane, thus disproving the Joker's point. "Maybe it was just you all the time."]]
** Another Batman example:
--->'''Captured Serial Killer''': Admit it, you live for the hunt as much as I do. Going after the freaks adds excitement to the game, but not as much as you need. Every time you put on that mask the craving comes back, the primal course, the push at the back of your mind. It's only a matter of time before it takes over and you--\\
'''Batman:''' Kill whoever's standing right next to me and calling me a psychopath?\\
'''Captured Serial Killer''': [[ShuttingUpNow I'll shut up now.]]
** In ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand'', Batman had this response to Mr. Freeze's EvilGloating:
--->'''Batman:''' My attempts to reason with you have always gone nowhere, Freeze, so forgive me if this time I don't even bother!
*** Which he punctuated with a punch to the face, knocking the villain out cold. (No pun intended.) If the Ultimate Clayface didn't show up five minutes later, he could have hauled Freeze to jail quickly.
* ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} has a habit of doing this. '''SCREW YOU'''!
** A particularly shining example has to be when Hecate attempts to seduce Hellboy to ruling by her side:
--->'''Hecate''': Accept the truth of your existence or be destroyed! You cannot escape your destiny!\\
'''Hellboy''': Gonna try.\\
'''Hecate''': Time is coming to ring down the curtain on man. Already, the four horsemen are loose in the world. It is for us to darken the sun, turn the moon to blood, and put out the stars. Then you and I alone, forever in the dark--\\
'''Hellboy''': Shut up! Not gonna happen... 'cause you're very, very ugly... and... '''you have a giant snake body'''!\\
'''''(impale!)'''''
** Subverted during the story "The Island". Hellboy repeatedly tells Hannibal to shut up, but since he's not really in a position to enforce that command, [[spoiler:because he's been stabbed through the chest by a giant monster and is bleeding to death]] ''Hannibal keeps talking''.
* In a ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' comic, Doctor Doom gives Reed a NotSoDifferent speech concerning his actions during ''ComicBook/CivilWar,'' which causes the Thing to give him a savage beating.
** [[http://fuckyeahgrantmorrison.tumblr.com/post/2110416599/from-fantastic-four-1234-issue-4-the Susan Richards gave Doom an epic Shut Up]] in the Creator/GrantMorrison-written ''1234'' after the Fantastic Four defeated his plans:
--->'''Susan''': Shut up. Stop trying to hurt us, you stupid, lonely, ignorant man!
--->'''Doom''': How dare you? I will destroy you, Susan Richards!
--->'''Susan''': Oh shut up and listen to someone else for once! Stop talking in that ridiculous way! What's your problem, Victor? What have we ever actually done to you to deserve this stupid waste of everyone's time? Are you listening to me? Sitting there [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with your stupid machines and your childish jealousy]], when you should be curing cancer or taking your people to the stars! What's the point of talking to you? Would you like me to explain this in a language you understand? Try anything like this ever again and I'll put a thousand force field bubbles inside that mighty brain of yours and burst it from the inside. Toys. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
* The ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' one-shot ''Girls Gone Dead'' has villain Laura Lochs giving a long BreakThemByTalking about God, her origin, her motives and other such things. Cassie's reply is "Keep clucking, bitch" and a punch to the face. Subverted in the sequel ''Hack/Slash vs. Chucky'' where Laura was expecting Cassie to try something during her BreakThemByTalking and kicks her in the face when she tries to attack.
** Subverted again in ''Something's Fishy''. As Mary Shelley Lovecraft is talking, Cassie starts sneaking up behind her, baseball bat in hand. Without even turning around or ceasing to talk, Mary ensnares Cassie in her tentacles.
** A good example in an episode where Cassie let herself be kidnapped by a serial killer formerly psychiatrist, who start analysing her psyché while torturing her, trying to figure out what led her to pursuing slashers. After Vlad arrives and help her get out, she takes the guy, tells him she is just "pretty fucked up" and throw him through the window.
* The one-off graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'' features a classic example of this, in which Batman not only brushes off the Joker's attempt to [[BreakThemByTalking break him by talking]] , but turns it into a devastating Lecture of his own which sends the Joker into a berserk rage -- in ''only three words'':
-->'''Joker:''' Uhh, God you disgust me. You have no charm at all, just... obviousness. Dumb, dull. Disappointing. Obvious. Shame on you. Obvious... and everybody knows. You wear your shame like a badge, because you don't have the balls to actually pin one on. Yes, just look at you. Desperate to be feared, you want to be perceived as a monster, dressed in black. And yet... you leave that little window. A glimpse at the perfection underneath. Obvious -- the chiseled good looks, not the jaw, the mouth of a monster... ''why'' do you let it be seen? Tell me ''why''.\\
'''Batman:''' [[spoiler:To ''mock'' you.]]
* ComicBook/AtomicRobo was once captured by a Soviet mad scientist and forced to endure a lecture that took up a ''page'' of the comic, explaining why this scientist wanted to destroy the human race in agonizingly trivial detail. Robo's summary hit all the major points.
-->'''Atomic Robo:''' So you're building a big dumb bomb to show everyone who the greatest scientist blah, blah, blah.
* When Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk fought Maestro, his EvilCounterpart from a BadFuture, and started losing, Maestro started a speech about how he knew his every move. Hulk's response? "Sing soprano, MotorMouth" and [[GroinAttack punching Maestro in the groin]].
* Another time involving the Hulk was when the Pantheon sent him to stop ComicBook/DoctorOctopus when the villain had gained adamantium arms. The Hulk's reaction to Ock's EvilGloating was simply to say, "Yeah. By the way, your fly's open." (Unfortunately, Doc Ock then proceeded to beat him senseless in one of the most notorious examples of TheWorfEffect in the Hulk's history.)
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Supergirl: Identity]]'', after Kara is brutally beaten up by Power Boy, including having her face '''dragged down the side of a skyscraper''', she wakes up in a bed next to a StalkerShrine devoted to her, bound in powerful, alien-tech restraints. Power Boy says a big speech about how much he loves her, that he knows best, and that the beating was her fault for making him angry. Supergirl blasts him with heat vision, calls him out that he's an asshole and that no one should ever hit someone that they love, then drops his house on him. He tries to escape, while still ranting, but Supergirl catches up to him and [[GroinAttack kicks him in the groin]].
--->'''Power Boy:''' Look, I'm just going to lay it all out because honesty is important in a strong relationship... I was born on Apokolips. Taken from the Armagetto Slums to serve [[{{ComicBook/Darkseid}} You-Know-Who]]... [[TrainingFromHell He made me strong]], trained me in the ways of the Earth so I could [[TheMole come here as a "hero" and]]... Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, because it changed the day you came to Apokolips. [[LoveAtFirstSight The most beautiful thing I had ever seen]]. Ever ''felt''. From that moment, I knew I had found my "Missing Half". I knew we would be together. And then you left... I couldn't eat. Sleep. Think. I knew that my true destiny wasn't with Darkseid and his stupid plans... So I followed you across the universe. I watched you try so hard to fit in, to find your way. All I wanted to do was hold you. Tell you how beautiful you were. But I knew you weren't ready to hear it... Sometimes we have to fall all the way down before someone can lift us up. You could be something so special, Kara... But you're lost. You're lost and you're too weak to find your way alone. Whenever you try... the monster in you comes out. Is this what you what to be? (''cups her face'') You need someone to take care of you, Kara. Someone who ''loves'' you to build to up... To make you into something you can be proud of. I love you, Kara. We can be perfect together, if you'll just let me fix you.\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''[[ShutUpHannibal destroys her restraints and burns his hand with heat vision]]'') We need to break up.\\
'''Power Boy:''' Aaaaaigh! What did you do?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' You hit me. You said you loved me... And you '''hit me'''. (''punches him through a wall to the outside'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' Y-You made me hit you! Because you don't listen, like now! Kara! I'm warning you! Stop it or I'll do it again! I'll hurt you again! [[StayInTheKitchen You can be happy if you just do what I tell you!]] I-- (''Supergirl rips his house from its foundation and rises into the sky'') Kara, I love you. Don't you want someone to take care of you!?\\
'''Supergirl:''' No one who says he loves you should hit you, '''ever'''. (''drops his house on him'')\\
'''Power Boy:''' (''FlashStep into outer space, pulls out his Father Box'') Ouch. Heh... Heh... Got some fight to her... Gonna have to work on that... Next time... And there ''will'' be a next time. Try to drop a house on me now. Father Box... Honey...\\
'''Supergirl:''' (''FlashStep up to him, [[GroinAttack knees him in the groin]]'') I out-flew Superman, "Honey". We're not done. (''grabs him by the scruff of his neck'') I don't know if you can hear me, so read my lips... Don't call me. Don't talk to me. Don't look at me... Or I'll break every bone in your body.
** In the ''Comicbook/HelOnEarth'', H'el talked Supergirl into helping him save Krypton, assuring that no one would suffer. She believed him... until she found out that he omitted several key details when he explained his plan.
--->'''Supergirl:''' H'el, you never said anything about sacrfice! About threatening this planet! About killing innocent people!\\
'''H'el:''' Killing? I'm not killing anyone! When we go back in time, this planet and its people will still exist, only thrust back to its own past! What happens to them today will be no more real than a bad dream! Surely you see that, beloved --\\
'''Supergirl:''' Don't call me that! You used me! You told me everything I wanted -- everything I needed -- to hear! And now people might be dying because I helped you!
** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Supergirl Vol 2]]'' issue #15, Kara does this to villain Blackstarr several times:
--->'''Blackstarr:''' I may be undecided as to the old woman's fate, but yours is certain... death!\\
'''Supergirl:''' Listen — I've been romping through the cosmos since I was 15... And threats like THAT don't even make me work up a sweat!
** ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'': Supergirl to Mxyzptlk during the climax:
--->'''Mr. Mxyzptlk:''' I'm Mxyzptlk! Holder of the five keys that unlock the fifty-two layers of Hyper-reality! My mind has become one with all ten possible dimensions! Who are you to challenge me?!\\
'''Supergirl:''' I'm Supergirl! Defender of Earth! You humiliated me in school. You attacked my friends! You took me from my family! I have all the power you ever dreamed of! My Kryptonian cells are supercharged with the light of a million billion suns! And I'm not going to let you destroy the 3rd dimension!
* In Shotgun Opera, main character Sterling has a good response to a "you don't deserve her" speech: "FUCK YOU. I'm not about to roll over and die!"
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' gave a more literal ShutUpHannibal to Norman Osborn in [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/6/61766/1157569-siege_3_legion_cps_033_super.jpg The Siege storyline.]] It's since become something of a [[MemeticMutation Meme]] in Comic Book Forums.
* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher''
** In the last issue of the story arc "ComicBook/WelcomeBackFrank", Punisher kills the BigBad's [[TheDragon Dragon]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scaring off her remaining henchmen]], and starts pouring gasoline through her house. Even then, she tries to [[BreakThemByTalking demoralize him]] about hypocritical his [[PayEvilUntoEvil "war on crime"]] is, how he's no better than her, etc. As Punisher starts leaving, she tells him he's damned. His response:
-->"Tell me something I don't know." ''(chucks a grenade inside)''
** In an older comic, Frank crosses path with the super powered mercenary Bushwhacker, who works out of his home with his wife. Frank eventually tracks him down and engages him in his own house. His wife tries to give him a "violence begets violence" speech. Frank just aims his gun at her, and tells her that she lives with, aids, and abets a known criminal, so she's not in any position to call him out.
* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim's Finest Hour'' has this:
-->'''Gideon:''' Getting rid of me... won't save you. You're your own worst enemies! Both of you! \\
'''Ramona:''' No, I'm pretty sure you're worse, dude. \\
'''Scott:''' You're definitely worse.
* ''ComicBook/IronMan'' has a hero-to-reporter example: Tony Stark delivers this to John Pillinger ([[BlatantLies who has nothing whatsoever to do with]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger John Pilger]]), a man who is interviewing him in regard to the weapons Tony designed for the military ''over a decade ago'', when Tony was ''nineteen''. Over the course of the interview, Pillinger is clearly determined to make Tony out to be as unsympathetic as possible; he interrupts Tony at every turn, gives Tony no chance to expand on his answers, and more or less dismisses ''incredibly'' significant medical breakthroughs as meaningless just because they aren't available in ''third-world countries''. He also brushes aside the fact that Tony hasn't designed weaponry for the military in over ten years, and has in fact put his efforts and resources into venues that could improve the world.\\
The real kicker comes when Tony, rather than attempt to make excuses for the damage the weapons he once designed have done, flat-out admits that he knows that no matter what he does, he will always have blood on his hands -- and Pillinger reacts as if Tony ''has'' given some long, rambling explanation to excuse himself from responsibility. Tony ends his statement by saying, with obvious sincerity, that he's trying to be a part of making the world a better place regardless. Pillinger responds with a caustic "...I see."\\
However, at the end of the session, Pillinger asks Tony why he agreed to the interview. Tony responds ''beautifully''.
-->'''Tony:''' I wanted to meet you. You've been making your investigative films for what, twenty years now? I wanted to ask: Have you changed anything? You've been uncovering disturbing things all over the world for twenty years now. Have you changed anything? You've worked very hard. Most people have no idea of the kind of work you've done. Intellectuals, critics, and activists follow your films closely, but culturally you're almost invisible, Mr. Pillinger. ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Have you changed anything]]''?
-->'''Pillinger:''' [[spoiler:I don't know.]]
-->'''Tony:''' [[spoiler:[[NotSoDifferent Me neither]]. (Then they shake hands)]]
* In issue 74 of the [[Comicbook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Sonic comics]], after the freedom fighters [[spoiler:find Robotnik on the walkway of some outer space facility, (up until that point they thought he was dead)]] there are at least [[VerbThis two]] [[IWillShowYouX varieties]] of ShutUpHannibal in a row:
-->'''Sonic''': You're toast if you don't tell me what happened to my family and the other roboticized mobians, [[spoiler:Ro"butt"nik]]!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Come now, hedgehog. Can't you at least take a moment to [[spoiler:welcome me back from the dead]]? Didn't your parents teach you better manners?
-->'''Sonic''': Why, you lousy...
-->''Sonic runs at [[spoiler:Robotnik]], but [[spoiler:Robotnik]] smacks him aside.''
-->'''Bunnie''': [[IWillShowYouX Ah'll show you manners!]]
-->''Bunnie then punches [[spoiler:Robotnik]] in the face, and Sonic and Tails stumble upon [[spoiler:Robotnik's sweatshop]].''
-->'''Tails''': Sonic, look!
-->'''Sonic''': I see it, Tails! ALL of the missing robians being forced to work in this suped-up outer-space sweat-shop!
-->'''[[spoiler:Robotnik]]''': Forced? Quite the contrary, Sonic. [[KickTheDog I've merely RESTORED their LACK of free will. They have absolutely no say in the matter.]] How can you say that I've done something wrong? Why, look at all the new jobs I've created!
-->'''Sonic''': [[VerbThis Create this!]]
-->''(Sonic then runs up at [[spoiler:Robotnik]] and knocks him off the walkway.)''
** Sonic's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Eggman in issue 200 is essentially a retort to a similar speech Eggman himself gave Sonic ''twenty-five issues earlier.''
* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is riddled with these.
** First there is Deathtrap, lecturing Wade about the virtue of silence, having strapped Wade to a table with a giant teddy bear above that will smother/crush him to death. If [[RedBaron The Merc with the Mouth]] doesn't shut up, he will die. What does he do? ''He doesn't shut up.''
-->'''Deathtrap:''' "Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed."
** Next there is Deadpool's encounter with Batroc. You can't expect to use "Popinjay" in a sentence and not have Deadpool mock you. Batroc proceeds to kick Wade's ass for this. He makes the mistake in pushing Deadpool's cripple/friend out of a window, followed by another ShutUpHannibal , and Deadpool wiping the floor with Batroc.
** In the same series, Deadpool delivers a ShutUpHannibal to the Messiah, the bringer of peace to the world. Why? Because the peace the Messiah brings is Peace through lack of free will. Coincides with [[GroinAttack kicking Captain America in the nuts]]. All Canon.
* In the finale of the first arc of ComicBook/{{Spawn}} spin-off ''Sam & Twitch'', Twitch has caught the criminal responsible for all the murders in that story. She gives him a BreakingSpeech about how she will go free thanks to her [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] and, worst case scenario, will have to keep a low profile for a few months. And how she will then come back and slowly, for years, destroy his life and kill everybody he loves. At first it looks it worked as Twitch puts his gun down, but he immediately points it at her again and starts telling her her laws. When she continues to lecture him [[spoiler: Twitch shoots her]].
* In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', the villain Mortis has been [[MindRape mind-raping]] ComicBook/BlackCanary with visions of all the people she has regrets about, only to have this happen:
--> '''Mortis:''' "Your friends have dumped you again, haven't they? ''Haven't they?''"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Heh ''(sniff)'' No. No, lady, they haven't. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain You pulled the wrong trigger]]. Don't you know that?"\\
'''Mortis:''' "How do you ''know?'' How can you be ''certain''?"\\
'''Black Canary:''' "Because they're my friends. [[ThePowerOfLove Because they love me]]. Now get the holy hell out of my brain. I won't warn you again."
* Superman's ''only line'' in ''ComicBook/LexLuthorManOfSteel''. After the more benevolent {{Perspective Flip}}ped VillainProtagonist we've seen of Luthor throughout the series, it hammers home the fact that Lex's justifications for committing atrocities in the name of "exposing" Superman as a threat are really twisted, and that he really is the bad guy. It also makes clear the fact, that despite however benevolent Lex has presented himself, he is ultimately nothing more than a self-deluding insane hypocritical villain. Which is confirmed by Lex's VillainousBreakdown, showing that at some level, ''he knows this.''
--->'''Superman:''' You're wrong. I ''can'' see your soul.
* The Captain Britain & [=MI13=] tie in with the Secret Invasion storyline of Marvel comics revealed that the global invasion force was just a cover for every Super-Skrull they had to invade Britain and steal all the Earth's magic straight from the source. After succeeding at killing Captain Britain and taking control over Earth's source of magic, the Super-Skrull Sorcerer Supreme stands over a woman who is, at the time, a civilian. A simple Muslim Doctor standing in the way. The Super-Skrull describes how Britain will be erased from existence, so that it had never been. When the Skrull empire takes us as slaves, ''then'' we would know ''true'' pride and glory. Cue the return with Excalibur.
--->'''ComicBook/CaptainBritain:''' I think you'll find, we already do. We just don't like to make a fuss.
* Hero-to-hero example - in the 200th issue of ''ComicBook/XFactor'' Guido gets into a fight with [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]], who tries to provoke him by mocking his superhero career. Guido just tells Ben that he played in a better football team than him. It worked a little too well, because an enraged Ben proceeds to beat the tar out of him.
* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': [[spoiler:As the comet is empowering Twilight, she and her friends give Chrysalis a verbal beatdown as Twilight [[CurbstompBattle gives Chrysalis a magical beatdown]].]]
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Your motivations are selfish, we fight because we know about things worth fighting for! [[ThePowerOfLove Love!]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship!]] [[EvilCannotComprehendGood We have things that you can't hope to have! You envy us!]]\\
'''Queen Chrysalis:''' Stop... this... nonsense. You can't... defeat me.\\
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Ponies who can't do things themselves tell others they can't do it... '''I can stand up to you.'''
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'' the characters take [[AlphaBitch Tiffany's]] crap in stride for years until July of 2013, when Quill finally decided to tell her off.
* ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' pulls off a lovely one against Cole, a female protege of Comicbook/ThePunisher. Also a TakeThat against the DarkerAndEdgier school of comic-book storytelling.
--> '''Cole:''' You know what gives me the strength? [[DeathByOriginStory The loss.]] We're alike that way, I imagine. Admit it: nobody's who a stranger to that particular pain could ever be as driven as us.
--> '''Daredevil:''' ''Never'' - (throws his staff at her face, purposefully missing it by mere ''millimeters'') - don't you ''ever'' say that to me ever again. That is a repellent statement. It's a vomitous insult to every cop - every fireman - every soldier alive who steps up to fight for those who can't! [[SincerityMode I am sorry for your loss!]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech But if you genuinely believe that only the death of a loved one can motivate a human being to take up a cause...]] then get your pathetic, cynical [[PrecisionFStrike ass]] out of my way so I can do my job!
* ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is dead and buried. In life, he [[FaustianBargain sold his soul]] to [[GodOfEvil Chthon]] by using the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]] to bring his fiancée back from the dead, and now the [[DepravedDwarf Darkhold Dwarf]] has come to collect. He starts to move Morbius' body while prattling on, admitting he's talking too much for the hurry they're in as Chthon wants him warm. Suddenly Morbius' [[UndeathAlwaysEnds eyes snap open]] and he punches the Dwarf in the face: "Tell Chthon he can wait!"
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'': As the treacherous [[spoiler:Getaway]] is taking [[BookDumb Riptide]] to the oil reservoir, planning to [[spoiler:feed him to a pit of scraplets]], he goes on a lengthy HannibalLecture mocking Riptide and telling him that he's just an idiot that the rest of the crew didn't care about. This exchange follows:
-->'''[[spoiler:Getaway]]''': D'you know why Team Megatron [[OutOfFocus lost interest]] in you? D'you know why they didn't take you to Necroworld? Clue: it's because you're not like them. Brainstorm, Ratchet, Nightbeat, Skids. They're smart guys, Riptide. And you... you're really not.
-->'''Riptide''': (''visibly unimpressed'') I'm not a psychiatrist either but I'm pretty sure [[PsychologicalProjection this conversation says more about you than me]].
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': In Issue #11, [[spoiler: Master Overlord]] is ranting about his superiority to Sonic, only for Whisper to shoot him in the face.
-->'''Sonic''': Nice shot, Whisper. [[LampshadeHanging Ten points for timing.]]
