It's Quiet... Too Quiet: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Even the usually reliable ''[[Elf Quest]]'' comics couldn't resist having a character say "it's too quiet" in the expanded version of Volume One.

* Played with in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|BtVS]]'' Season 8:

'''Donatello:''' Look! It's Raph!

'''Michaelangelo:''' Yeah, a little ''too'' Raph!

'''Donatello:''' ''<[[Face Palm]]>'' Oh brother. }}

* A variation in ''[[Lake Placid]]'', where one character, shortly before another attack by the giant alligator, says: "I suddenly got the feeling that everything's perfectly safe".

Needless to say, they shortly fall prey to a Nod ambush. }}

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the [[Re Boot|2008]] ''[[Prince of Persia]]'' game:

'''Prince''': [[Genre Savvy|Don't say it's quiet. Don't EVER say it's quiet.]] }}

** During a boss fight in that level, the Prince might say, "I told you, ''never'' say it's quiet." If you knock the boss off a cliff, he says, "''Now'' it's quiet."

* A NPC exchange from ''[[City of Heroes]]'', where the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Rikti]] have taken a human sympathizer hostage, doubles as an inversion of [[Perp Sweating]]:

{{quote|'''Rikti Captor 1:''' Status: Quiet.

'''Lk'Onik:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|...: Heh.]] }}

* From ''[[Evil Dead|Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick]]'':

* Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Lisa's Rival", in a scene at an apiary after all the bees leave to steal Homer's sugar.

{{quote|'''Beekeeper 1''': Well, sure is quiet in here today.

'''[[Large Ham|Beekeeper 2]]''': You see, bees usually make... a lot of noise. NO NOISE... suggests no bees. }}

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', "Stare Master": Fluttershy says this before she discovers that the Cutie Mark Crusaders (whom she was babysitting) had snuck out of her house.
