"No. Just... No" Reaction
aka: No Just No
|
What a character says when something is wrong or stupid or Squicky enough.
The usage tends to be:
Or:
Bob: "I've got it! The 128 dogs could live in OUR HOUSE for the week!"
Alice: "No. Just... no."
Or:
A step beyond "That's just wrong" or " That's wrong on so many levels." The step beyond ''that'' is a Visible Silence.
See also Flat What, Dude, Not Funny!, Sick and Wrong, This Is Wrong On So Many Levels. It can be followed, preceded or coupled with a Rapid Fire No.
NOTE: This trope is for In-Universe examples ONLY. It is not to be potholed for anything tropers themselves find squicky.

Anime and Manga
Film
- During the production of 2012, Roland Emmerich's initial idea of showing the destruction of Mecca was met with this response by his fellow producers and writers, with one of them saying that he didn't want a fatwa issued against him. Emmerich would later point out the Double Standard inherent in this, as there wasn't any controversy over the destruction of Vatican City and the Cristo Redentor.
Literature
- This review of John Ringo's Paladin Of Shadows series coined the phrase "Oh John Ringo No!" for the numerous examples of what the author admits is an adolescent macho fantasy wank. The author shows up here.
- The phrase even made it onto a t-shirt, with the profits from shirt sales going to the Helen Bamber Foundation, an organization that helps women who have been forced into prostitution...which happens quite a bit in the books of the series, by the titular character and the bad guys alike.
Live Action TV
- Babylon 5:
- The phrase "Don't. Just...don't," is said by the Doctor whenever any of his companions try to put on an accent or speak in another style (the TARDIS translates for them, so there is no need). So far, he has said it to Rose, Martha and Donna.
- In Scrubs, Turk says this when JD tries to call him Black Whale.
- Said in iCarly about what to do if Kevin asks if you want to see his "onion ring".
- This is strongly implied to be the reaction to Sheldon's suggestion of moving Jerusalem to Mexico to eliminate the conflicts between the Hebrews and the Palestinians in The Big Bang Theory. When first proposing it to the Dean, the Dean politely excuses himself with the North Korean exchange student, only to privately tell the student that Sheldon is insane. Later, when telling it to a Jewish professor, the professor tells him to go away, and when Sheldon suggests the idea to Howard Wolowitz, all Howard can do is give an aghast and silent reaction to Sheldon before he eventually nixes the idea.
Web Original
- In SCP Foundation, the response of SCP-076 (Abel) at being given the mission to approach SCP-001 (Gate Guardian), apparently an angel (more specifically: One of the Cherubim set by God to watch over the entrance to the Garden of Eden).

- Also said word for word in response to 507's request to challenge 076 to fifty rounds of Tic-Tac-Toe
- Homestar Runner has this reaction to Coach Z taking his cheer-up song in Decemberween Short Shorts as an invitation to come to his house for Decemberween.
- In the Strong Bad Email "animal", Strong Bad tries to think up an imaginary animal version of himself, and one of his attempts is a gastropod-like creature called the "red-steckled elbermung". His response to a picture of the elbermung is "No, no, no!"
- The Nostalgia Critic's review of Drop Dead Fred.
- In his review of Rock-A-Doodle, he instantly shuts down the Villain Song on the grounds that "No song that starts with 'Tweedley-dee' can be any good".
