This trope can be used to introduce a [[Noodle Incident]], with one character reminding the other they promised never to speak of that again. Alternatively they may have just completed the action, make some passing reference to how unusual or interesting it was, and then pull this line.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''
** Asuna says this to everybody after an unfortunate incident involving [[The World Tree]] that turns Negi into "[[Determinator|the kissing Terminator]]" who [[Kissing Under the Influence|forces her into a french kiss]]... for so long that she nearly suffocates. Negi is still totally unaware that this happened.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* During the first ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', Kaiba sums up the Noah filler arc as a "complete waste of [his] time and effort, so let's move on and pretend that nonsense never happened."
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Which really sounds like the sort of thing that]] [[Little Kuriboh]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|would have made him say.]]
* In the end of the first season of ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', Brock decided to stay with a beautiful Professor Ivy. Two seasons later, he returns to Ash's hometown to help his mom and Prof. Oak. Somehow, the relationship ended badly for him, as any mention of her name will cause him to [[Corner of Woe|hide under a table or something to that extent]]. We [[Noodle Incident|never learned what happened]], and he's not talking. It was never brought up again

{{quote|
'''Matsushita-sensei:''' And they never did. }}
** Thereafter, every filler or otherwise irrelevant chapter was ended by the narrator saying "...And they never did."
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Movie]]'' gives us this exchange:
{{quote|
'''Téa:''' I can't help but feel it was all [[Merchandise-Driven|just a cheap cash-in made to promote a bunch of cards.]]
'''Grampa Moto:''' It's almost like this whole story was thrown together at the last minute.

* The ''[[Starsky and Hutch (film)|Starsky and Hutch]]'' film has this in spades. After Starsky (Ben Stiller) and Hutch (Owen Wilson) have to do some fairly embarrassing things to get information out of a con, Hutch starts to talk about it in the car ride back, and Starsky shuts him. "No! No! Let's not talk about it. In fact, let's never speak of this again." Of course, when they get back to the station, it's been recorded and is playing in the Captain's office with all of the other officers watching.
* In the film version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'' Gimli says the above quote before having Aragorn use him in a [[Fastball Special]] (a reference to a scene in the first movie in which he objected to being thrown by Legolas). Aragorn promises not to say a word.

* Burt Gummer says this after surviving being swallowed by a Grabiod in the third ''[[Tremors]]'' movie.
{{quote|
* ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]'': When Jim West gets [[It Makes Sense in Context|stuck to Artemis Gordon's belt buckle]], he tells Gordon to make sure and leave that part out when retelling the story. Artemis responds with a very emphatic "Oh don't worry."
* A non-funny example occurs at the end of ''[[4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days]]''.
* A even less funny example from ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''. After Butch saves him from Zed's... attentions, Marsellus Wallace demands two things, of which the first is... "Don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and [[Rape and Revenge|Mr. Soon-to-Be-Living-the-Rest-of-His-Short-Ass-Life-in-Agonizing-Pain Rapist here]]. It ain't nobody else's business."

* ''[[Friends]]''
** Ross and Richard are having a sleepover at Rachel and Monica's. At one point they bump into each other in the living room, wearing their girlfriends' bathrobes. After a few awkward seconds they attempt small talk, but then Richard cuts to the chase and says "Let's never speak of this again." Ross says "You got it." and they move on.
Line 100 ⟶ 88:
** And there's the time that Monica is stung by a jellyfish. A friend who will pee on you is a friend indeed.

** The episode "[[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Recap/S1
** In "Skin of Evil", Tasha's funeral speech was supposed to include an apologetic "Data, it ''did'' happen." It's clear to see where it was supposed to be, as they left in Geordi's reaction shot.

{{quote|
'''Andrew:''' Right. }}
** A vampirized Harmony meets Xander and decides to feed. They apparently regress to their grade school enemy stage (since both of them ''can'' fight better), and they're so ineffectual that they eventually just give up. They agree it never happened, and both leave.
* ''[[Angel]]'' played it for laughs in the episode "The Girl in Question". The head of Wolfram and Hart's Rome branch used it several times.
{{quote|
* In an episode of ''[[Would I Lie to You?]]'', Neil Morrisey, voice of [[Bob the Builder]], had as one of his "facts" that he once had a builder working at his house who was in fact named Bob. David Mitchell said that if that was true, it was completely unremarkable, and the conversation probably went, "Do you know, I'm actually a builder called Bob." "Right. I do the voice of Bob the Builder." "Right." [short laugh all around] "Let us never speak of this."
* ''[[The West Wing]]'' [[Lampshaded]] its frequent use of of the [[Walk and Talk]] by having Sam and Josh walking through the crowded hallways having a conversation as usual. At the end, they both came to a stop and asked each other where they were going. Turns out they were both following each other. Josh: "Let's not tell anyone about this."

* Used ''hilariously'' in ''[[Rome]]''. Cleopatra wants to use [[The Baby Trap]] on Caesar, but knowing that Caesar has no sons, (and possibly needing a distraction from her withdrawal symptoms after [[Going Cold Turkey]]) she decides to increase her chances of pregnancy by sleeping with one of the legionnaires that Caesar sent to escort her to him. She first orders [[The Stoic|Vorenus]] to sleep with her, but Vorenus (despite being sorely tempted) refuses due to fidelity to his wife and Roman sexual attitudes to the idea of being "used" for sex. Vorenus then orders the other legionnaire, [[Boisterous Bruiser|Pullo]] to "Report to Princess Cleopatra and do whatever she tells you to." Cue a prolonged and [[The Immodest Orgasm|noisy]] bout of sex, much to the discomfort of Vorenus. When Pullo returns, they have the following conversation:
{{quote|
'''Vorenus:''' I don't want to hear about it. If you're wise, you'll never speak of this again.
'''Pullo:''' Why? [[Just Following Orders|I was only obeying orders]]. Bloody good orders, too. }}
* Invoked almost verbatim by Cristina in the ''[[Grey's Anatomy|Greys Anatomy]]'' episode "Complications of the Heart", after a surgery wherein both she and the more experienced Dr. Altman forgot how to perform a very basic procedure and ended up needing the nurse to bail them out.
* Almost verbatim on ''[[The Peter Serafinowicz Show]]''. Upon making a breakthrough deduction in a case, Sherlock Holmes {{spoiler|becomes so sexually aroused that he forces himself on Watson. In post-coital reflection}}, Holmes says "We shall not speak of this again."
* One happens offscreen in ''[[Black Books]]'', we only see Bernard's reaction when Manny breaks silence.

* ''[[Psychonauts]]''
** There's a Mental [[Phlebotinum Breakdown]] in Sasha's mind, and a horrible mutated monster comes up and proceeds to pound the living daylights out of Sasha in a highly embarrassing fashion. Raz saves Sasha's life, for which Sasha grants him his merit badge. This conversation then occurs:
{{quote|
'''Sasha:''' No. Here is your merit badge. Let us never speak of this again. }}
** If you return to clean up loose ends, Raz will bring it up again. Sasha will reveal that he expected Raz to overload the machine, and the course he ran was equally planned, to allow Raz to learn to use his power in practical application. The Megacensor was where things got out of hand, though.
Line 149 ⟶ 140:
** The aftermath of Mitsuru's "[[Maximum Fun Chamber|Execution]]" during the Kyoto class trip. Akihiko is ''[[Heroic BSOD|very insistent]]'' about this point.

He entreats you, however, not to tell anyone he did it.
