''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!"
 
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!]]
