  • In "Three Girls and a Monster", Bubbles screams "QUIET!!!!" in order to get Blossom and Buttercup to stop arguing so she can fly up and politely ask the monster they're fighting to leave. The monster complies.

Bob will (or won't) do something, Mike will go off, and Bob will scream "MIKE!!!" In his introductory episode alone, Bob claims to have told him to shut up 128 times before the episode even starts, and it got so annoying Mike's remote control ran away.

• Joe Bear in the Tex Avery-directed cartoon, "Rock-a-Bye Bear", does this a lot in a very loud voice whenever he hears the slightest bit of noise:

• In the old seasons of Thomas & Friends, characters would occasionally yell at others to shut up if they were being obnoxious. Often it was the Troublesome Trucks who were on the receiving end of this - and occasionally a bump too for good measure. In later seasons of the model era, they would use the more polite/tv-friendly variation, "BE QUIET!" Following the switch to CGI, the characters had resorted to simply snarking, teasing, or ignoring each other, with the occasional Bond One-Liner for good measure.

    Gwen: Guys?
    Katie: Oh my gosh, when we painted my bedroom green, and we got into that huge paint fight, and it was so much fun.
    Gwen: Guys?
    Sadie: But just because we got into one little paint fight doesn't mean we're not BFF's!
    Gwen: Guys? Shut up shut up shut up shut up!!
    Katie: [turns around to display a splash of green paint on the back of her shorts] And look! I'm still green!
    Gwen: UGH! You were supposed to wait for the signal, remember?
    Katie: Sorry, Gwen. It's just that your show's kind of...
    Katie and Sadie: ...bad.
