"Shut up, lady! Peaceful is not how I roll."

This article is about the running gag. For other uses, see Lady.

After a voiceover comment by a soft-voiced woman, another character, most often Strong Bad, will sometimes exclaim, "Shut up, lady!" Her most common comment is "that looks sinful", referring to food or food-like substances that seem bad for one's health.
