Published November 12, 2026

Redditor sammyTF_ made the earliest known copy of this recaptioned Mr. Incredible two-panel on September 8th, 20191, turning a somber 2013 Tumblr macro into a blunt rejection of whatever post appeared above it. By November 2019, an /r/meme version earned over 14,900 upvotes as the format spread to iFunny and Instagram feeds as a reaction to irritating takes6.

Overview

Stacked on top of each other, two screenshots of Mr. Incredible from Pixar's The Incredibles (2004) carry the lines 'Shut the Fuck Up' and 'Please Shut the Fuck Up,' escalating from command to plea1. Users post it under tweets, screenshots, opinions or news items they find unbearable, and the joke lands partly because the original frames come from a scene where the character is overcome with grief4.

Variations swap the captions for other exhausted lines or double up the format with extra panels. An October 7th, 2019, four-panel remix by Tumblr user peer2peer2peer stacked the macro on top of itself for extra escalation and earned over 280 notes9. On iFunny, a cropped version circulated as a quick comment-section reply, and Urban Dictionary entries from the same period define the phrase as what annoyed or frustrated people say when they cannot hear one more word11.

The source frames come from Pixar's 2004 film The Incredibles, and the two-panel reaction image first gained traction as 'I Can't. Not Again. I'm… Not Strong Enough' following a January 19th, 2013, post by Tumblr user mydollyaviana3. The recaptioned 'Shut the Fuck Up, Please Shut the Fuck Up' version has no confirmed author, but Redditor sammyTF_ posted the earliest known copy to /r/ShitPostCrusaders on September 8th, 2019 under the title 'SHUT THE FUCK UP GIORNO,' aiming it at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character Giorno Giovanna1.

How It Spread

Late September 2019 brought the first wave of mainstream traction. On September 28th, Twitter user @ZoZoZoZiZiZi posted the image and gathered over 680 likes in the six months after2. Four days later, FroggyRibbits reposted it to /r/okbuddyretard8, and on October 4th, Tumblr user saeraas picked it up with a post that earned over 60 notes9.

iFunny amplified the format through October. iFunny user Symphony uploaded a cropped version on October 18th, 2019, that drew more than 9,300 smiles over six months and became a quick comment reply on the app5. A November 8th, 2019, iFunny repost by FelixArgyle_ earned over 3,700 smiles10.

Reddit and Instagram carried the heaviest numbers that November. Redditor kaleb270 posted a version to /r/meme on November 8th, 2019, that gathered over 14,900 upvotes6, and five days later Instagram user humanity.gone24 shared a meme using the format that received over 5,900 likes7.

How to Use This Meme

To make a version, stack two Mr. Incredible screenshots from The Incredibles, write 'Shut the Fuck Up' on the first and 'Please Shut the Fuck Up' on the second, and reply with it to whatever opinion, tweet or headline has worn out your patience1. A typical version leaves the second line as a near-exact repeat of the first with 'Please' added, since the shift from demand to plea is what carries the joke.
