Shut Up, Kirk: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

{{quote|'''Lloyd:''' How can your world be ideal when you've killed countless innocent people?

So [[The Hero]] has finally penetrated the [[Big Bad]]'s fortress, defeated his [[Mooks]], made his [[Dynamic Entry]] into the inner sanctum, and the final confrontation is about to begin. Of course, being [[The Hero]], he [[Kirk Summation|sums up all that is wrong about what the villain is doing and offers him one last chance to cease his evil-doing and repent.]] The villain, of course, will have none of it, and rather than wasting time with [[We Can Rule Together]] and the like, gives a resounding "Shut Up Kirk!" and the battle is joined.

Pretty much a staple when it comes to final showdowns, and can often double as a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]. Compare [[Sedgwick Speech]], [[Talk to the Fist]].

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|Miyo Takano}} shoots Keiichi point blank during his [[Kirk Summation]] to shut him up. It's a bit [[Groundhog Day Loop|complicated]] how only the identity of the villain is a spoiler.

* When, Johnathan, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon confront the vampire Dio in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1]], Zeppeli notices Dio has healed his wounds from his previous fight with Johnathan and asks him how many lives he's "sucked away" to heal his wounds. Dio coolly asks Zeppeli if he's remembered every piece of bread he's ever eaten.

** Kimblee has his moment of this too, listening to Al's declaration that he will [[Take a Third Option]] that will allow them to save everyone and regain their bodies. Kimblee then reasons there must exist a fourth option where both brothers fail completely.

* Happened in ''[[Transformers: All Hail Megatron]]''. When Prime returned to put the kibosh on Megatron, he began with his [[Catch Phrase]] about freedom being the right of all-- '''OH, SHUT UP!!'''

{{quote|'''High Evolutionary:''' Warren was no "friend" of mine. He had potential, but once I saw his true intentions, I banished him from Wungadore.

'''High Evolutionary:''' Enough, I have no desire to discuss this further with you.

** However, the High Evolutionary would change his mind by the climax because he realized Spidey had a point there.

{{quote|'''Chekhov:''' We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.

'''Azetbur:''' ''Inalien''... If only you could hear yourselves? ''Human'' rights. Why the very name is racist. [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|The Federation is no more than a 'homo sapiens' only club.]] }}

'''Q:''' ''(darkly)'' If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid. }}

** In the ''Next Generation'' episode "The Ensigns of Command", the Sheliak - a group of [[Can't Argue with Elves| non-humanoid and ''very'' aloof aliens]] - do this to Picard via cutting the communication feed ''several'' times as he tries to reason with them. Riker compares it to a rude person "hanging up on" them. Eventually, Picard is able to find a loophole in the treaty the Federation has with them and give them his own [[Shut UP Hannibal]] to [[Screw You, Elves| teach them some manners.]]

* In the series finale of ''[[Angel]]'':

{{quote|'''Angel''': People who don't care about anything will never understand the people who do.

'''Jaime:''' I rarely push children from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die. }}

* As ''[[The Hobbit]]'' goes on, Bilbo gets progressively more fed up with the dwarves' selfishness and complaining and delivers a number of these speeches to them. And they are all awesome.

** The newly lichified Xykon in the [[Prequel]] ''[[Start of Darkness]]'' delivers a most glorious Shut Up, Kirk! to the elven druid Lirian at the climax of their battle:

{{quote|'''Lirian:''' You may defeat me, you may even kill me, but you will never succeed in releasing the Snarl.

'''Torg:''' OK, I totally didn't think that one through. }}

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' After Bob has deconstructed all Fructose Riboflavin's reasons for his crimes, Riboflavin responds, [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20100914.html "YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"]

* While the person being shut up is not exactly a hero, it may count in an episode of ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC|Happy Hour]]'' where the Joker electrocuted the Green Goblin when the latter is lecturing him on why his plan on turning every superhero [[Darker and Edgier]] is not a good thing.
