Line 20:
== Comic Books ==
* Happens in ''[[Elf Quest]]'': Skywise nudges Cutter to shut him up when he's about to drunkenly blurt out the location of Sorrow's End to Picknose the troll.
* [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] slams his heel into Haddock's foot to stop him from revealing information in ''The Calculus Affair''.
 
 
Line 43:
* Happens several times in ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]''. It's noted that it's a lot more discreet when you're wearing robes rather than Muggle trousers.
* Happens a lot in [[Piers Anthony]]'s works, most often in the form of a kick.
* Done by Ridcully in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'', to Ponder, who can't understand why he should keep his mouth shut about their "sound-trap" in front of sausage-inna-bun vendor turned music producer [[Honest JohnsJohn's Dealership|C.M.O.T. Dibbler]].
* In ''[[The Elenium]]'', Elhana attempts this with her husband. Of course, since he's wearing plate armour, all she gets out of it is a bruised elbow.
* In one of the ''[[Mercedes Lackey|Dragon Jousters]]'' novels, Ari is about to say something that would ruin his relationship with Nofret. Kiron kicks Ari before foot-in-mouth ensues.
Line 81:
== Western Animation ==
* Done a couple of times in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* Done in ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends (Animation)|Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', except the recipient is doing the whole [[Totem Pole Trench]] routine, so is blissfully unaware of "his" foot being kicked.
* ''[[Wakfu (Animation)|Wakfu]]'', season 2 episode 8: After Sadlygrove blurts out {{spoiler|that he'd already seen Evangelyne naked}}, Eva, while denying, casually chokes Grovy with an arm around his neck to stop him from adding a word.
* In ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' episode "Badcat", the gang is in disguise to sneak into Bad Cat's casino. When they're allowed in, Roba keeps saying how he feels so loved and wanted, which causes Horace to shush him in order to stay incognito.
* ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename Kids Next Door]]'': Numbuh Five is usually the one to elbow her teammates when they need to shut it, like with Numbuh Four at the end of "Operation: R.O.B.B.E.R.S.", or [[Loose Lips|Numbuh Three]] in "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.". Note that it hardly ever works on the latter: if you truly want Kuki to shut up, you need to gag her.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Twilight Sparkle has to give one to Spike in "Hurricane Fluttershy".
* On ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]'', Mordecai does this to Rigby all the time.
