* Colonel K tells WesternAnimation/DangerMouse to "shush" (a command usually directed at Penfold) in "Bandits, Beans and Ballyhoo!" when DM gropes for an explanation as to how the bandit El Loco smuggled himself into the heroes' headquarters.

* In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokemon: Platinum]]'', after the player character quiets Giratina, Cyrus asks them what was important enough for them to stop him from destroying reality, and immediately screams that he won't accept such a deluded answer... even though the player character ''[[SilentProtagonist didn't say anything]]''.

** When Jonathan, Zeppelli, and Speedwagon confront the vampire Dio in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'', Zeppeli notices Dio has healed his wounds from his previous fight with Jonathan and asks him how many lives he's "sucked away" to do so. Dio coolly asks Zeppeli if he remembers [[ButForMeItWasTuesday how many loaves of bread he's ever eaten]].
** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', Caesar Zeppelli swears revenge after Whamuu casually kills his friend [[TheAssimilator by walking into him]] while not even noticing him. The Pillarmen start laughing, remarking that this is hardly the first time someone swore revenge against them.

* ''Manga/MuhyoAndRoji''

-->'''Kenshin''': As you say, it is a very advanced kind of technology. [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood You ought to use that technology for the good of the people.]]
-->'''Gein''': I hear that a lot. But would a master swordsmith make razors? Would a superior castle architect build tenements? The forefront of technology is ''always'' in battle.

** When Jonathan, Zeppelli, and Speedwagon confront the vampire Dio in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'', Zeppeli notices Dio has healed his wounds from his previous fight with Jonathan and asks him how many lives he's "sucked away" to do so. Dio coolly asks Zeppeli if he remembers [[ButForMeItWasTuesday how many loaves of bread he's ever eaten]].

->'''Nicholas Angel:''' I may not be a man of God, Reverend, but I know right, and I know wrong, and I have the good grace to know which is which.\\
'''Reverend Shooter:''' ...Oh, ''fuck off'', grasshopper! ''(shoots Angel with concealed twin pistols)''
-->-- ''Film/HotFuzz''

* The first ''VideoGame/VandalHearts'' game gave us this memorable exchange, complete with the BigBad calling the hero out on his MoralDissonance.

* In the first half of ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', [[BigBad Frollo]] holds enough fear of God and respect for the sanctity of the Church to spare and raise the baby Quasimodo and not drag Esmeralda forcibly out of the sanctuary of Notre Dame when he's disputed by [[GoodShepherd the Archdeacon]]. When the climax occurs, however, Frollo is driven so mad by his [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny lust]] and hatred that he assaults Notre-Dame to get back at both Quasimodo and Esmeralda. On the way, the Archdeacon tries to stop him by rekindling his fear of God, but Frollo merely tosses the clergyman down the stairs and locks him downstairs to keep him out of the final fight.

* ''Fanfic/{{FIRE}}'': When Iron Man replies to Firebrand's "everything sucks" rant by stating that progress is being done, he gets this answer in return.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'', Poppy convinces the Bergen race that they don't need to eat the Trolls to become happy, [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong as they've had the ability to be happy all along]] and they didn't even know it. Her message gets to everyone ''except'' Chef, who still wants to taste happiness and completely ignores her message and tries to kill the Trolls before she is sent away.

* Done gloriously in ''Film/HotFuzz''.
-->'''Reverend Shooter:''' Stop! Please stop this ''mindless'' violence! Nicholas, I know that you're not a man of God, but ''surely'' you're a man of ''peace''.\\
'''Nicholas Angel:''' I may not be a man of God, Reverend. But I know right, and I know wrong. And I have the good grace to know which is which.\\
'''Reverend Shooter:''' Oh, fuck off, grasshopper. ''(draws two guns and shoots at him)''
* Another great moment from ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'':
-->'''Monk:''' Citizens of the Five Points! Mr. Bill Cutting is attempting to draw me into an argument that would no doubt end in bloodshed and the compromising of my office! What do ya think? Should I engage and silence this relic of the ancient law? Or shall I be your chosen voice, in a new testament, in the New World! ''(a long pause)'' There you are, Bill. The people have spoken: the very notion of violent reprisal benumbs them. Come on up; let's see if we can resolve our differences the democratic way.\\
''(Bill begins climbing the hill towards the barbershop, and Monk turns his back to enter; a split second later, Bill's cleaver lands square in Monk's back; he goes crashing to the ground, dropping his club in the process)''\\
'''Bill:''' That, my friends, is the minority vote. ''(to Monk)'' Now you've tasted my mutton, how d'you like it, huh? Look. I want you to see this...\\
''(he takes up Monk's club, carves another notch into it, and shows it to him)''\\
'''Bill:''' This is ''you,'' right here: notch forty-five, you Irish bog .\\
''(he brings the club down on Monk's head with a sickening thud)''
* Magneto delivers a very effective one to Xavier at the climax of ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. It probably didn't help that Xavier tried to finish off his speech by invoking the [[JustFollowingOrders Nuremberg Defence]] on a Holocaust survivor.
-->'''Charles Xavier:''' There are ''thousands'' of men on those ships! Good, honest, ''innocent'' men! They're just following orders! ''(gets an OhCrap expression as he realizes what he just said)''\\
'''Magneto:''' ''([[BerserkButton frowns and turns]])'' I've been at the mercy of [[ThoseWackyNazis men "just following orders."]] Never again.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. Azetbur gives a ShutUpKirk speech to... Chekov.
--->'''Chekov:''' We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.\\
'''Azetbur:''' ''Inalien''... If only you could hear yourselves? ''Human'' rights. Why the very name is racist. [[HumansAreBastards The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club.]]
** ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''. Picard tries to convince Dr. Soran not to destroy Veridian Three.
--->'''Picard''': What you're doing is no different than when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too. Including your wife and children.\\
'''Soran''': Nice try. There was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came. They showed me that there is one constant in this universe ... death. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when.
** In ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'': Picard tries to urge Shinzon to stop his attack against the Federation.
--->'''Shinzon:''' It's too late.\\
'''Picard:''' Never! Never! You still have a choice. Make the right one now.\\
'''Shinzon:''' I can't ...fight what I am!\\
'''Picard:''' Yes, you can!\\
'''Shinzon:''' I'll show you my true nature. Our nature. And as Earth dies, remember that I will always, forever, be Shinzon of Remus! And my voice shall echo through time long after yours has faded to the dim memory.
** A more literal example in ''Film/StarTrek2009'', Kirk is trying to drive Spock into a blind rage to prove he is [[NotSoStoic emotionally compromised]] by talking trash about his [[spoiler: recently deceased]] mother. Spock, in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the ensuing beat-down, grabs Kirk by the throat and slams him down onto a console]].

* Ivan Ooze reacts this way to Zordon in ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' (complaining that "I've only been outta the egg fifteen minutes, and I've already gotta listen to one of your speeches."), ironically right before he goes into a [[LargeHam rather long rant]] of his own.

* In ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'', the Judge walks in on his ward Johanna (for whom he is harbouring a paedophilic crush) packing to elope with her lover Anthony. Knowing she's been caught, Johanna nevertheless tells him contemptuously that "a gentleman knocks before entering a lady's room". His response?
--> '''Turpin:''' Indeed he does, ''but I see no lady''.

* A subdued example in ''Film/WeeWillieWinkie'', since Col. Williams, the commander of a British regiment on the Afghan frontier, isn't the bad guy. But he has been somewhat antagonistic to his widowed daughter-in-law's romance with dashing Lt. Brandes. When Col. Williams places Brandes under arrest for leaving his post to go walking with Joyce, thus leaving the camp exposed to a raid by the Afghans, both Joyce and Joyce's daughter Priscilla rip into him for picking on Brandes. Williams responds with a Shut Up, Kirk! speech in which he calmly explains that discipline is a matter of life and death on the frontier and indiscipline costs lives. Then he tells Joyce and Priscilla that if they can't respect that, they should leave.
* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', [[TheSnarkKnight Iron Man]] delivers a pretty firm shutdown to [[TheCape Captain America]] before he can get his inspirational speech in.
-->'''Cap''': Listen, when I see a situation pointed south, I can't ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could--
-->'''Iron Man''': [[ArmorPiercingResponse No, you don't.]]
** There's also Tony's response after finding out who really killed his parents.
-->'''Cap''': This isn't going to change what happened.
-->'''Iron Man''': I don't care. He killed my mom.
* In ''Film/KongSkullIsland'', when James Conrad and Mason Weaver try to prevent Lt. Colonel Packard from killing Kong, Packard bluntly shuts Weaver up when she tries to tell him that there's more to life than war and revenge.

* In ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', right as Deadpool is gearing up to kill Francis, Colossus stops him and launches into a speech about what makes a hero and showing mercy to your enemies. Deadpool interrupts him by shooting Francis in the head. PlayedWith in that Deadpool is an AntiHero, not a villain, and shuts Colossus up with a gunshot rather than words.

Then again, TheVillain may reject the last chance offered him and order TheHero [[StrikeMeDown to kill him]], especially if the hero's a WorthyOpponent.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' After Bob has deconstructed all Fructose Riboflavin's reasons for his crimes, Riboflavin responds, [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20100914.html "YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"]]

-->'''Chekov:''' We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.
-->'''Azetbur:''' ''Inalien''... If only you could hear yourselves? ''Human'' rights. Why the very name is racist. [[HumansAreBastards The Federation is no more than a ' sapiens' only club.]]

-->'''Picard''': What you're doing is just as bad as when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too. Including your wife and children.
-->'''Soran''': Nice try. There was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came. They showed me that there is one constant in this universe ... death. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when.

-->'''Shinzon:''' It's too late.
-->'''Picard:''' Never! Never! You still have a choice. Make the right one now.
-->'''Shinzon:''' I can't ...fight what I am!
-->'''Picard:''' Yes, you can!
-->'''Shinzon:''' I'll show you my true nature. Our nature. And as Earth dies, remember that I will always, forever, be Shinzon of Remus! And my voice shall echo through time long after yours has faded to the dim memory.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'': Spinel [[spoiler: interrupts Steven's [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech No More HoldingBackSong]] by spiking him about a thousand yards back down onto the injector, screaming that he "can't make everything better by singing some stupid song", which, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome fair point, he can't]]. However, that missed the point of the song: he ''can't'' make her change, she has to actually want to change and take responsibility for herself]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Starlight Glimmer didn't even give Twilight a chance to deliver her usual [[ThePowerOfFriendship speech]].
-->'''Twilight:''' Everypony has unique talents and gifts. And when we share them with each other that's how we...
-->'''Starlight:''' [[BigShutUp QUIET!!!]]

--->'''13''': [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill Free will]]? [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Pitiful humans, war, segregation, hatred]], is that what you’ve done with your free will boy? Don’t you lecture me with your 30 dollar haircut ''Goku dies!''.

* In ''Spider-Man and the X-Men'', after Spider-Man learning of Sauron's and Stegron's plan to use genetic engineering to turn the people of Staten Island into dinosaurs, he points out that they use the technology for altruistic means such as curing cancer. Sauron gives a straightforward response.
--> '''Sauron:''' But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.

The KirkSummation equivalent of ShutUpHannibal, Shut Up, Kirk! is when the villain or antagonist on the receiving end of TheSummation ([[KirkSummation Kirk or otherwise]]), PatrickStewartSpeech, [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech some other goody-goody life-affirming lecture]], or even [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a blistering critique of all their flaws]] rejects what the hero has said and reaffirms his motives and actions. When the hero spells out how his plan to destroy all life on the planet is wrong, the villain usually will respond with this trope with something like "They don't deserve to live!" or "[[SilenceYouFool Silence!]] [[WhoDares How dare you question my judgment?]]" or "[[WhatTheHellHero What gives you the moral authority to condemn me?]] [[NotSoDifferent You're just as evil!]]" or "Fool, [[TheSocialDarwinist only those with strength such as mine are fit to survive!]]", or simply "[[BluntYes Yep]]. I know, [[ForTheEvulz and I don't care]], because [[EvilIsPetty screw you, that's why]]."

** There's also the part where Winston says that the party would never strip him of his humanity and moral superiority. What O'Brien does is play a tape of the night when Winston and Julia [[NotSoDifferent vowed to commit hideous crimes for the Brotherhood's sake]].

--->'''[[spoiler:Tela Vasir]]:''' [[NotSoDifferent Before you start judging me, you should look in the mirror.]]

'''[[OmnicidalManiac Dolf]]:''' Sanctimonious whelp! [[NotSoDifferent How many souls have you yourself released from their corporeal bondage?]]

-->'''Bad Girl:''' [[NotSoDifferent In essence, they're the same.]] Don't go on thinking you're better than me. You think you're hot shit! Who the fuck do you think you are?!

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Starlight Glimmer gets one on Twilight Sparkle as she was delivering her usual [[ThePowerOfFriendship speech]].

The KirkSummation equivalent of ShutUpHannibal, Shut Up, Kirk! is when the villain or antagonist on the receiving end of TheSummation ([[KirkSummation Kirk or otherwise]]), PatrickStewartSpeech, [[NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech some other goody-goody life affirming lecture]], or even [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a blistering critique of all their flaws]] rejects what the hero has said and reaffirms his motives and actions. When the hero spells out how his plan to destroy all life on the planet is wrong, the villain usually will respond with this trope with something like "They don't deserve to live!" or "[[SilenceYouFool Silence!]] [[WhoDares How dare you question my judgment?]]" or "[[WhatTheHellHero What gives you the moral authority to condemn me?]] [[NotSoDifferent You're just as evil!]]" or "Fool, [[TheSocialDarwinist only those with strength such as mine are fit to survive!]]", or simply "[[BluntYes Yep]]. I know, [[ForTheEvulz and I don't care]], because [[EvilIsPetty screw you, that's why]]."

** Anchovy, after losing to Miho, accuses her of having thrown away victory in the last tournament. Miho responds by saying that there are more important things to her than victory. Anchovy begins to walk away, but pauses to tell Miho that she thinks that the commander of a team has a responsibility to her subordinates to win, especially for Miho, who says she values her comrades. Anchovy [[JerkassHasApoint ends up being vindicated]] in the next round, in which [[spoiler:Miho learns that if she loses, she will be disinherited and her school will be shut down]].

--->'''Trunks''': You’re just a slave, a pawn with no free will of it’s own, is that it?

* In ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'', when Franchise/{{Superman}} realises that Luthor's hatred for him is going to poison the perfect world Lex has created, he starts out giving him a lecture on the importance of keeping hold of his peace, and then starts ''apologising'' for whatever he's done that Lex hates him for, but to Luthor it all sounds like the KirkSummation, and he screams at Supes to be quiet.

--> '''Frank Castle:''' (After explaining the reference ([[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar he personally saw that event]]), which gave him enough time [[CrazyPrepared to take hold of the gun he concealed on the battlefield]] [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange and point it point-blank at at the back of Cap's head]]) You don't know what [[CrusadingWidower I've been through]]. So who are '''you''' to judge?? (BoomHeadshot).

* In ''Spider-Man and the X-Men'', after Spider-Man learning of Sauron's and Stegron's plan to use genetic engineering to turn the people of Staten Island into dinosaurs, he points out that they use the technology for altruistic means such as curing cancer. Sauron gives a straight forward response.

* A non-villainous example in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fic ''Fullmetal Bitch''. A 22 year old Toph refuses to train Aang who then calls her a coward for refusing to help fight the Fire Nation. Toph responds by taking off her shirt and showing all the scars she earned fighting on the wall of Ba Sing Se, ending it with, "I fought the Fire Nation for four years; [[ArmorPiercingQuestion where were you during all that time?]]"

* In ''Fanfic/BoysUndSenshado'' (found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9332528/7/Boys-und-Sensha-d%C5%8D here]]), after Shiho [[spoiler:disowns Miho]], Akio tells Shiho that Miho is far more talented than Shiho realizes, and that Sensha-do is about friendship and camaraderie, not just victory. Shiho responds by saying "That is not what Sensha-do is about, little boy!"

** When Zuko, Aang and some of Zuko's advisors are discussing what to do with Ozai, since some Ozai loyalists are planning to overthrow Zuko and re-enthrone Ozai, Aang insists that sparing him was the right decision, and that he wishes this wasn't happening. [[OriginalCharacter Za Jei]], one of Zuko's old teachers, responds with a mix of this and SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids.
-->'''Za Jei''': Listen Avatar, I don't know if anyone in the land of fairy floss, fruit pies and rainbows ever told you, but this is the real world. Here you cannot just wish away your problems.
* Generally speaking, any time [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku]] tries to convince someone in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10448834/20/Six-Paths-of-Rebellion Six Paths of Rebellion]]'' that violence won't solve anything and that by fighting the system, they're only causing "unnecessary bloodshed", they or someone else will call him a hypocrite for spouting such beliefs while working for a tyrannical world conquering empire. Particularly of note is when he tries to convince Kallen to leave the Black Knights.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13604633/3/The-Rigged-Game-and-the-Trickster-s-Uprising The Rugged Game and the Trickster's Uprising]]'', Akechi is sent to assassinate Ren Kurusu, Akira's father, for investigating Shido's action to help clear his son's name. Ren tries to convince Akechi to join the fight against Shido, since he has no reason to support the politician. Akechi responds that he wants Shido to become Prime Minister so that TheReveal [[spoiler:that he is Shido's bastard child]] will be all the more damning to his reputation, right before shooting Ren before he could fire back.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoxtrolls'', [[spoiler:Eggs tries to convince Snatcher that he doesn't need a fancy hat or fancy cheese to be somebody important, and that he is what makes himself. Snatcher retorts "I ''have'' made me, boy... this is my ''destiny''!", and DeathByGluttony ensues.]]
* In the first half of ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', [[BigBad Frollo]] holds enough fear of God and respect for the sanctity of the Church to spare and raise the baby Quasimodo and not drag Esmeralda forcibly out of the sanctuary of Notre-Dame when he's disputed by [[GoodShepherd the Archdeacon]]. When the climax occurs, however, Frollo is driven so mad by his [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny lust]] and hatred that he assaults Notre-Dame to get back at both Quasimodo and Esmeralda. On the way, the Archdeacon tries to stop him by rekindling his fear of God, but Frollo merely tosses the clergyman down the stairs and locks him downstairs to keep him out of the final fight.

''(he takes up Monk's club, carves another notch into it and shows it to him)''\\

'''Davros''': Yes; yes. To hold in my hand, a capsule that contained such power. To know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods! ''And through the Daleks I shall have that power!''

* In the season 2 finale of ''Series/OnceUponATime'' Regina admits her plan was to use a bean to transport herself and Henry back to the Enchanted Forest, while leaving behind a trigger to kill everyone else. Prince Charming starts to get righteously indignant, only for Regina to blow him off, pointing out (1) ''their'' plan was to use the bean to travel back to the Enchanted Forest and leave her behind anyway, and (2) they have much more pressing matters. Namely someone else has both, and is planning on using the trigger to kill everyone.

** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E7TheEnemy The Enemy]]" manages to give an heroic example. In keeping with the theme of the episode, a subtle PerspectiveFlip shows us what a ''Trek'' episode looks like form the opposite side of the viewscreen, when Commander Tomalak is about to do ''exactly'' what Kirk or Picard would do in his place by violating the Neutral Zone to save some wounded crewmen. This forces Picard into the role of the unreasonable alien who seems more interested in protecting his territory than saving lives. Tomalak attempts a KirkSummation calling him out on his behavior, but Picard harshly shuts it down.

* Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix: One of the central drama-sources of the play is getting everyone to agree on a draft of the Declaration. Governor Edward Rutledge will only agree to it [[DeliberateValuesDissonance if the passage that decries slavery is removed.]] Protagonists John Adams and Thomas Jefferson are both adamant about the passage being left in, until...

-->'''[[spoiler:Haytham]]''': Order. Purpose. Direction. No more than that. It's your lot that means to confound with this nonsence talk of freedom. Time was, the Assassins professed a far more sensible goal, that of peace.

** In the sequel, during the final battle, Marta and Emil try to convince [[spoiler:Richter]] that [[spoiler:Aster wouldn't want to come back to life in a world ruled by demons. (Richter's plan was to create permanent link to the demon world in order to revive Aster)]]. [[spoiler:Richter]] sharply retorts that his methods are his own business and he doesn't need other people telling him what he should and should not do, especially not [[spoiler:a terrorist's daughter and the demon who originally slew Aster and ''took his form to mock him''.]]

* During ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'', the assembled heroes attempt to deliver a speech on unification, hope and justice to a villain who is trying to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the world]], and even offer a LastSecondChance [[spoiler:which you can't take even if you choose the option indicating you are willing. And if you choose to take the other option:]] The response?

* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 7'': Sima Yi says this in Shu's final story stage to Jiang Wei as a response for the latter's KirkSummation.

* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'': The conversation between Allison and the TimeAbyss GodEmperor Nadia Om zig-zags between this and ShutUpHannibal, since Nadia feels TrappedInVillainy because YouCantFightFate and Allison doesn't buy her excuses at all. That said...

** A failed version happened when Goku, now a Super Saiyan, gives a BadassBoast about who he is. Freeza, already cheesed off that he realized that Vegeta was ''right all along'' about a Super Saiyan, blasts Goku in the head with a finger-fired blast. Goku takes it, leans back and finishes his boast.

* This happens in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "Question Authority". Question goes to kill Lex Luthor to prevent him from becoming President and creating a StableTimeLoop which causes Superman and the Justice League to become totalitarians. Long story short, Luthor laughs at him, beats him up, and tells him he has no intention of being president, because his real goal is [[spoiler:to get superpowers by putting himself in another Amazo body that he designed after seeing the blueprints for the original]].

** Jack was once shut up by a bounty-hunter who tells him "I got bills to pay, and I already addressed the envelopes." Jack begins to respond with a clever phrase, saying "I hope you haven't yet stamped the parcels which you--" but is cut off as the bounty-hunter punches him out, saying "consider 'em stamped."
