* ''Series/CrossingJordan'': In ''Justice Delayed", Jordan has wrapped up a cold case investigation, but declines to pursue charges, following the wishes of the victim's widow. [[GoodOldBoy The]] [[SmugSnake perpetrator]] tries to see Jordan and Nigel off, showing off that he'd destroyed the murder weapon (which he kept the whole time for sentimental reasons) and getting in a couple of racist jabs for good measure. Jordan, having a hard enough time honoring the family's wishes and letting this bastard go, unloads on him:

-->'''Jordan''': You think we're leaving because you beat us? Your plan to kill Jackson Avery was so ''numbingly stupid'' it took us two days to figure it out! ''Two days!'' The card game... The drinking... The gun that wasn't yours, the gun that was yours... The ''idiotic'' mistake with the birdshot... The faked-up autopsy. No, we're leaving because the Averys asked us to. You see, they're nicer people than us. [...] God, you were so close, you half-wit! One call to the state police, and I'd have you arrested and charged before nightfall! [...] And you know what? No all-white jury this time, ''bigot!'' You will be convicted; you will rot in prison!
-->[Nigel tries to pull her away, but she shrugs him off]

'''Maxwell:''' Miss Fine was right from the beginning. I should never have forced my little girl to play with your son. Quite clearly, [[KickTheSonOfABitch he deserved everything he got.]] And I don't care for what you think of my play, and frankly, I don't care much for you, either. Now, let me show you the door. ''[gesturing behind him without turning]'' It's over there.

** Tenaya tries this against Flynn in "Ranger Blue," attempting to play on his old doubts about his past where NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished. It doesn't take, because Flynn is a Power Ranger, and is finally in a position where being a brave hero and selfless protector of the weak is ''absolutely'' what the situation calls for. His rebuttal is as brief as it is hilarious.

* ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'': Summer's reaction to one of Tenaya's typical rants:
-->'''Summer:''' Excuse me, my parents are visiting, can we skip all the bad guy bla-bla-bla?

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'': The Season 5 episode "[[{{Recap/TheWalkingDeadS05E08Coda}} Coda]]" opens with Rick chasing down the cop they were holding hostage, who had attacked Sasha and escaped. He warns him to stop; when he doesn't, he runs him over with a car. Then this exchange occurs:

** In the episode "The Man in the Morgue," set in New Orleans, the killer starts going into a harangue about the power of Voodoo. Bones shuts him up by poking him in the eye.

-->'''Blake:''' If not you, then somebody else. Killing you'll change nothing. You don't matter enough to kill, Travis.

* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Lee is confronting Phelan, the head of the fleet's Black Market. The black market gets things such as food and medical supplies to people who need them. But Phelan has also pressured people into giving up their children to be child prostitutes as payment. Often for the medicines. Phelan gives Lee a MotiveRant ("It's hard to see the high ground when we're all standing in the mud...") and Lee points a gun at him. Phelan is completely unfazed, convinced that Lee won't shoot as they are not alike... and Lee [[PayEvilUntoEvil shoots him in the chest]]. He then tells Phelan's cronies that the child prostitution and the withholding of medicines stops NOW. If it doesn't, he'll know. And he'll be back.

* ''Series/Babylon5'': [[BewareTheNiceOnes Vir]] has a rather epic moment where [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu he flippantly responds]] to [[TheCorrupter Mr. Morden's]] ArmorPiercingQuestion. [[Spoiler: Made even more epic a few seasons later when the scenario Vir describes actually happens, complete with a flashback to the original scene.]]

** In the episode ''The Man in the Morgue'', set in New Orleans, the killer starts going into a harangue about the power of Voodoo. Bones shuts him up by poking him in the eye.
--->'''Bones:''' ''I've noticed that very few people are scary once they've been poked in the eye.''
** In ''The Man on Death Row'' while Bones and Booth face the revealed killer in prison, he begins a rant about how [[UnwittingPawn their actions have ensured the success of his plans and his continued life]]. When they turn to leave, he tries to stop them so he can continue his monologue... only for Brennan to break his arm on the table.

** Jessie, the [[spoiler: anti-anti-Christ]] tells the Demon who is possessing his mom to sit down and shut up, who was in the process of telling him that everyone he ever knew lied to him. This is after Sam tried telling the truth. After Sam tells him the truth, Jessie banishes the demon from his mother. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the little guy too.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]] has a non-verbal villain-on-villain one. [[spoiler:The Master is gloating about how his Turn-Every-Human-Into-The-Master machine can now be used as a Transform-The-Returned-Time-Lords-Into-The-Master machine... and upon hearing this, Rassilon silently uses his [[GreenLanternRing Glowing Metal Gauntlet]] to undo the machine's effect, returning every human to their original state.]]

Times where the good guys [[ShutUpHannibal tell the villains to shut up]] in LiveActionTV series.

*** Especially good as he was trying to hypnotize her at the time. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome It is also the only time the Master ever fails to hypnotize a human being straight out]], and no reason for this is ever given. Apart from the fact that she can shout just as loud as he can.

--->'''Davros:''' I will transform Skaro's sun into a source of unimaginable power and with that power at my disposal the Daleks shall sweep away Gallifrey and its impotent quorum of Time Lords! The Daleks shall become lords of time! We shall become all-\\
'''The Doctor:''' Powerful! Crush the lesser races! Conquer the galaxy! Unimaginable power! [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Unlimited rice pudding!]] Et cetera, et cetera!

'''The Doctor:''' ... confusion, wastage, tyranny, burnt toast, till all the atlas is pink... ''[hums "Rule Britannia" and salutes]''

** Season Three, "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E10Amends}} Amends]]":

** Joffrey gets it a lot too. From season 2, where Tyrion tries to knock some sense into him (wasn't the first time he tried, wouldn't be the last):

** [[AlternateUniverse Earth-2]] [[AxeCrazy Lionel Luthor]] spends half of season ten tormenting the E-1 counterpart of his daughter Tess, saying that she's worth nothing and the only good she is to him is as a [[OffingTheOffspring necessary sacrifice]] so that her heart can be put into the body of the Lex clone. Tess, who couldn't bring herself to kill her own father, alternate version or not, finally snaps when he actively tries to murder her, and shuts him up quite effectively by shooting him in the chest.

-->"You think you've broken me? You'll have to try harder than that. You've given me a gift of myself. You think that could destroy me? You think that makes me lesser? It makes me more. I contain multitudes, more than I ever thought or knew. You want me to be scared of it because you’re scared of everything, but I am so much more than you."

** Done very bluntly in "[[Recap/BlackadderS4E4PrivatePlane Private Plane]]": on being caught by Baron von Richthoven, Captain Flashheart appears to listen to the Baron's gloating speech for about a minute before suddenly shooting him dead mid-sentence with the observation "What a poof!"

--->'''Jenkins''': Really? Wild magic, cruel kings, mad wizards? [[SarcasmMode Yes, it was a]] ''[[SarcasmMode pip!]]''\\

* At the climax of the ''Series/LeverageRedemption'' episode "[[Recap/LeverageRedemptionS1E6TheCardGameJob The Card Game Job]]", Breanna of Team Leverage is playing a collectible card game with CorruptCorporateExecutive Jim Cordozar, who owns a drug that cures a deadly disease but has been WithholdingTheCure to increase his profits. When Cordozar [[MotiveRant expounds]] on his [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] worldview. Breanna responds with a combination of this trope and ArmorPiercingQuestion.
