I haven't seen the video, but try imaging it in the tone of Reagan's "There you go again" and see if it resonates better for you. I don't mean to equate the two quotes: I imagine Reagan taught his children that "shut up" is a bad thing to say to someone. But remember, the King of Spain had an awkward childhood.
