This is where a character "voluntarily" decides to be quiet, removing themselves from the argument/conversation. This can be through defeat (being proven wrong), threat, everyone [[{{Beat}} staring at them accusingly]] or suggestion, or simply because as [[SycophanticServant the lackey]], they were told to.

Common phrases would be "I'll be quiet now" or "Okay, I'll just shut up" or simply trailing off or abruptly falling silent. One key theme of this trope would be that they really do want to talk, but humiliation or perhaps painful humility stops them.

Another form of this is when someone realises they're babbling, are clearly making a losing argument, realizing that they have embarrassed themselves or someone else by SayingTooMuch or just saying something profoundly stupid and/or offensive, [[{{Metaphorgotten}} losing track of their analogy]] and/or are getting increasingly off topic, ending their spiel with "I'll just shut up now".

See also ThatCameOutWrong and DiggingYourselfDeeper for the reasons people may end up shutting up and ChewbaccaDefense for a discussion of why this is an admission of defeat. Compare AndThatWouldBeWrong, ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject, IHaveNothingToSayToThat, OpenMouthInsertFoot.

** After having had enough of Foghorn Leghorn telling them what to do, the person he has harassed throughout the episode will yell "[[BigShutUp AHHHH SHADDAP!]]" while smacking him with the can and he will reply he will shut up while continuing to talk. One cartoon ends this way:

* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' episode "Miserable". Jay uses a cardboard cutout of himself which is hooked up to a clapper to knock out the villain of the episode. However the cardboard cutout's repeated chanting of "Buy my book!" is so incredibly annoying that Jay's best friend Jeremy blows its head off with his gun, saying "It had to be done". When Jay asks why and begins repeating the chant until Jeremy points the gun at him complete with DramaticGunCock. Prompting Jay to say he'll be quiet.
* WesternAnimation/DangerMouse usually says "Penfold, shush," and one episode has Penfold complying saying "Yes sir. I am now in a state of complete shushness."
* During the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' episode "Video Games", Kevin tells Gwen [[WatchThePaintJob to back off his car]], using an ill-advised analogy of "You have to treat a car like you treat a woman."
