{{quote|''Oy, with the arrows, and the bleeding, and the death!''
(gets stabbed)
''And the knifing, and the hurting, and the senseless violence, already!''
|'''''[[Berserk Abridged]]'''''}}
A phrase made popular by [[Jerry Lewis]] that was then exaggerated by characters based on him. The phrase is based on the syntax of [[Yiddish as a Second Language|Yiddish]], and is heavily associated with Jewish and [[Borscht Belt]] humor. Jews do [[Jewish Complaining|love to complain]], after all. Variations include: "Oh God, with the X!", "Stop, with the X!", "Please, not with the X!", etc. It's often topped off with "already!" Less often happens to users or translators of other languages more fond of participles than English, since even if there's no similar phraseology, the habitual form tend to crop up everywhere.
The phrase is generally used to complain about an action, like "shouting," "stabbing" and so forth, but can also use to complain about a subject, such as "Enough, with the radio! Turn it off!"
Just about every [[Alter Kacker]] will indulge in the trope, but cultural saturation has also made it a part of general [[Buffy-Speak]].
Not to be confused with [[Oh, the Humanity!]]

* Kevin Pollak had a one-hour HBO comedy special titled "Stop With the Kicking!" The title came from Pollak's discussion of nascent action "star" Jeff Speakman:

* Invoked on ''[[The Daily Show]]'' when Jon Stewart is talking about corrupt Illinois ex-governor Rod Blagojevich. He can't pronounce his name without dissolving into a Jerry Lewis impression.

{{quote|'''Phoenix:''' Mia, not you too! With the whip... and the pain... [[Butt Monkey|and the owww...]]}}
* In ''[[The Curse of Monkey Island]]'', if the player doesn't have Guybrush saw off the plank the first time he boards the Sea Cucumber, and then gets walked off the plank, he will climb on board the ship after sawing off the plank and get this exchange after monkeys surround him again:
{{quote|'''Mr. Fossey:''' ''[irritated]'' AGAIN with the sneaking on board the ship! I don't know how or why you came back on board... but the next time you walk the plank will be your last!}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'' frequently uses this gag when someone is getting horribly stabbed, burned, dismembered, or otherwise violently killed off panel.

* Strip 100 of ''[[Questionable Content]]'' had Marten saying "Please don't make with the killing!" in response to seeing Faye topless.
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has several [[Common Tongue]]s, including Galstandard Peroxide, mostly spoken by water-dwelling species. Recognizing sophonts used to it is easy - by never uttering a verb if there's a present participle is doing the same job when they start speaking [[Translation Convention|Galstandard West]]. Such as the Aqueousci, humans who grew up underwater on Celeschuul and [//www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-03-01 they sound] [//www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-06-10 like this].
** The Neo-Oafa were talking with strong Peroxide accent early on (presumably the Prabstdi who have re-created them decided the blimp-people must have more in common with aquatic species). Maiamumla stops doing it after being "[[Hive Mind|melded]]" with sophont of another species and memory of an ancient Oafa; Yaeyoefui (ancient Oafa who was given Galstandard West knowledge copied from a neoafan brain) doesn't have such an accent. [//www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-03-28 Occasionally] this quirk [[That Came Out Wrong|amusingly distorted some nuances]].
{{quote|'''Karl Tagon''': That sounds more ominous than it is.
'''Kaff Tagon''': I know my Peroxide accents, dad... }}
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Used by Pilz-E a lot in ''[[Neurotically Yours]].''
* In the first episode of Monkey Ninjas:
{{quote|(after Carl defeats a monster in the kitchen)
'''Phil:''' Oi! What's with all the yelling and the cooking and the pan-smacking? It's 8 AM!
'''Carl:''' You sound like you swallowed a rabbi. }}
* According to Topfive.com, the number one Jewish Country Western song is "Alright, Already, Stop With the Infidelity!"
* Mister Magic, a superhero from the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' whose mystic power is based on the Hebrew Kaballah, often speaks in this manner.
* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] does this (albeit in the midst of a [[Jerry Lewis]] impression) in his Dungeons & Dragons review.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Mister Director from ''[[Animaniacs]]'', and Paul Rugg in general.
{{quote|'''Mr. Director:''' Oh, cute little children with the puppy dog faces!}}
** An even more elaborate example:
{{quote|'''Mr. Director:''' Oy! How'd you! With the going! You were there but here now! You are! For me to see! How'd you do!?
'''Yakko:''' What did he say?
'''Wakko:''' I think it was "Oy! How'd you! With the going! You were there but here now! You are! For me to see! How'd you do!?"
'''Yakko:''' Thanks for clearing that up. }}
* See also ''[[Freakazoid!]]''.
* Prof. Frink in ''[[The Simpsons]]'', mostly because the voice actor based him on Jerry Lewis' character in the "Nutty Professor". Jerry Lewis was cast as Prof. Frink's father in a Halloween Special.
* Shelton Klutzberry, another character vocally based on Jerry Lewis, says this sort of thing in ''[[The Replacements]]''.
* Zoidberg and the other Decapoidians talk this way on ''[[Futurama]]'', being [[Space Jews]].

* In one episode, Mojo Jojo of ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'' repeatedly describes the foiling of his plan as "The dogs, the biting, the dropping."
* In ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', Numbuh 5's entire family does this almost constantly. Her mother does it in ''French''. What with her father being a homage to [[Bill Cosby]], [[Self-Demonstrating Article|with the obliviousness, and the parenting, and d'oh, you know what I'm talking about!]]
* In the fourth ''[[An American Tail]]'' movie ''The Mystery of the Night Monster'', one of the villain's cat underlings talks like Jerry Lewis.
* "[[Anastasia|Okay, okay, I get the message! Enough already with the glowing and the smoke people!]]"
* In one episode of ''[[Histeria!]]'' that focused on the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Lewis and Clark get crushed by a canoe they're carrying. Lewis says, "stop with the heavyness already!" in a very annoying voice.
* Due to a short-circuit, Larry 3000 from ''[[Time Squad]]'' behaves like a drunk person, leading to this exchange in front of many French people:
{{quote|'''Larry''': He-LLO FRI-ENDS! Oh, the nice French people, with the funny language, and the talking, with the "Oui oui, poo poo, ah hah hah hah, oh mon cheri, french fries"... woah! Hey LA-dy!
'''Buck''': *laughs* Hey, that's a pretty good Dean Martin.
'''Otto''': *attempting to pull Larry away* Come on, Larry...
'''Larry''': Oh please, kind sir, with the grabbing of the arm... Oh with the hurrying... }}
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' villain [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Drakken]] gets this response to one of his plans:
{{quote|'''Drakken:''' Suppose you outnumbered her... Suppose that was an army of you against one of her.
'''Shego:''' Oh, no. ''Again'' with the cloning?! }}
** Shego then points out the [[Not in My Contract|no-cloning clause in her contract]], and [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|walks out on him]] when he persists.
