oh come on

Really? Be serious.

Oh come on expresses exasperated disbelief or impatience—a protest that something is unreasonable, unfair, or obviously wrong.

It can challenge an excuse Oh come on, you knew exactly what you were doing, dismiss something absurd Oh come on, that's ridiculous, or urge someone past hesitation Oh come on, it'll be fun.

The tone ranges from playful prodding to genuine irritation.
