* [[Austin Powers|Dr. Evil]] and his "Zip it"/"Shhh" [[Overly Long Gag|Overly Long Gags]] is close. He's also done it straight a few times when Number 2 was trying to be reasonable with him.
* Raiden does this in the first ''[[Mortal Kombat (film)|Mortal Kombat]]'' movie, with the added intimidation of lightning special effects.

* [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness|The Council of Thirteen]] in the season 3 premiere of ''[[The Venture Bros]].'' tried to do this, and [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] on the phrase's use.
