"Be Quiet!" Nudge: Difference between revisions

* Tweedledee nudges Tweedledum -- [[Creepy Twins|or was it the other way around?]] -- in the Tim Burton rendition of ''[[Alice in Wonderland (film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' to keep him from blurting out that the Red Queen's new favorite, [[Charlie Brown From Outta Town|Um from Umbridge]], was really the fugitive Alice.

* ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]'', when the policeman inspects the body of the Motorist and says he's in no shape to drive:

'''Miss Scarlet:''' ''(punches him in the stomach)'' A limousine! }}

* In ''[[The Great Race]]'', Leslie administers the elbow-to-ribs version to Hezekiah when Hezekiah [[Laugh with Me|laughs too long at a joke the Crown Prince made]].

** Kate typically prefers the elbow-to-the-ribs whenever Tony is, well, being Tony.

* Used in a Thanksgiving episode of ''[[Home Improvement]]''. Twice. After Al has explained -- at great length -- why he's thankful for his girlfriend:

'''Randy:''' And I'm thankful that Brad said that instead of me. (Ow!) }}

* Used a handful of times on ''[[The Nanny]]'', often with an addition to it.

** Once, Fran continually corrects Max by smacking his hand with a spoon. When he finally gets it right, she smack a water glass, creating a game-show "Correct!" ding sound.

** Used again on Max when he is trying to comfort Fran after another failed date saying she didn't need a man. Sylvia silences him.

* Happens a few times to Belkar in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'':

** In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0247.html strip #247], Haley is struck with aphasia and so can't talk Belkar into shutting it as he's about to tell Elan her feelings. However, a boot to the face is enough to convey the message more clearly.

** Also in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0379.html strip #379], Roy kicks Belkar so that the halfling doesn't join the already-embarrassing conversation.

* Bridget shuts Alphonse up in [http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068901/page-179-who-wouldnt-believe-that-face this] page of ''[[Far Out There]]'', lest he should give away {{spoiler|the fact that they were the ones who hired Skye}}. Of course, since neither of them can actually talk, one wonders what she's afraid of.
