# It's Time to Stop It's Time to Stop is a green screen video and catchphrase from YouTube comedian Filthy Frank, who uploaded the original clip on December 24, 2015. In the shot, Frank shakes an oversized clock and yells the title phrase, a snippet fans quickly ripped into remixes, reaction edits, and image macros throughout early 2016. ## Origin Filthy Frank, the YouTube persona run by comedian George Miller (later known as the musician Joji), uploaded the source clip on December 24, 2015 to one of his alternate channels[1]. Frank framed the upload as a gift to fans who had asked for green screens, offering several shots as free downloads on his website[3]. The 'It's Time to Stop' segment shows him walking into frame, gripping an oversized wall clock, and shaking it while shouting the phrase on repeat[1]. - **Platform:** YouTube / Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Filthy Frank (George Miller) - **Date:** 2015 ## Overview The clip works because Filthy Frank gives editors exactly what they need on the source tape: a subject on a plain green background yelling a short, cuttable line[1]. Remixers drop the clock-shaking shot over cursed images, awkward moments, or obscure fandom clips, letting Frank deliver the verdict for them[2]. The audio alone also works as a standalone punchline in short YouTube compilations and TikTok edits. The still frame of Frank gripping the clock spread as a reaction image macro, with 'It's time to stop' written across the top[3]. It sits in the same roster as Stop Posting and other 'please cease' images that got heavy use across Tumblr, Twitter, and Discord threads. Editors also pasted the shot into scenes involving time-manipulating characters, especially Stand users from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure[3]. ## How It Spread The first compilation videos arrived on December 25, 2015, one day after the source dropped, from YouTubers Popsicle Juice and Creepypasta Archives, both of whom bundled Frank's green screen pack into single uploads[3]. Standalone edits of the clock shot followed within the same week[4]. YouTuber Pyrocynical posted a widely watched single edit on January 1, 2016, which pulled roughly 400,000 views by February of that year[2]. Tumblr picked up the still frame as a reaction image, with the phrase turning up on posts tied back to Frank's clip. Beyond video edits, the line spread as a shorthand reply in comment threads and imageboards, used to shut down anything from bad takes to disturbing content[5]. Urban Dictionary contributors define it as a response for 'when something disturbing is shown' or when someone says something stupid or off-topic[5]. ## How to Use The typical video edit cuts the green-screened Frank shot on top of whatever the editor wants to reject, so his shaking clock and shouted line function as the punchline. For static use, the common convention is to post the image macro of Frank with the clock, with 'It's time to stop' captioned along the top, as a hard-cut reply to a cringe post, bad take, or cursed image. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is It's Time to Stop?
