History Main / CreditsPushback

*** One of the worst was when they screened ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' and actually cut off the left side of the screen to avoid showing the BlooperReel and "[[ShowWithinAShow Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me]]." This was a few weeks after they'd done something similar to ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' (speeding up the credits as usual, blooper reel included) and had attracted complaints over it.

** A rare example from a DVD of ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' which had a tremendous amount of space to write translated credits without the need to wipe clean the Japanese credits. [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai]] chose instead to write tiny lines of translated text running parallel to the Japanese credits in the opening part of the movie.

* The guidelines for [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] end credits have angered arch TV cynic Creator/CharlieBrooker, as they forbid any speech during the credits (basically the precious last 60 seconds of his show's slot) so continuity announcements or trailers may be run. In response, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrm2dj6bIU0 ran the end credits at the start of]] [[Series/{{Screenwipe}} his show]], replete with mock pushback scuppering any opportunity for actual credits pushback. He even went as far as to show the Zeppotron[=/=]Endemol logo, run a station ID, and link into a fake show where Victoria Coren discusses the history of wall corners, before [[HostileShowTakeover invading said piece about a minute later]] to rant about this trope. When the episode was over, he just dumped his viewers directly back onto the channel when he finished talking at the ''real'' end. To promote the show, he often appears ranting in the background of the general [=BBC4=] channel ident. [[{{Postmodernism}} How odd]].

* When Creator/Global|TelevisionNetwork aired the Animation Domination shows, not even ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' were safe from split-screen credits. At the end of the premiere of ''The Simpsons'' episode "Whiskey Business", when the credits maximized when the promo was over, the audio from the previous episode, "Pulpit Friction", played by accident.

** As of October 18, 2021, Adult Swim has started using credits pushback. It's the split screen variant (which is identical to Cartoon Network) and is only used for FOX's shows. As of May 2023, it's now expanded to Adult Swim's originals (except for shows with post-credits scenes).

*** On September 25th, 2023, Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, and Boomerang returned to show full-screen closing credits for all of their shows and movies. But Adult Swim still uses split-screen credit pushback for most of their shows.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': At least one episode lampooned this as well, with a promo for Channel 5 news that teased smutty topics (such as why are boys reluctant to socialize in camp showers, which bordered on pedophiliac humour).
* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'': In "Goat Police" where Scaredy and Dave were watching the titular show on TV, the credits were pushed back for a commercial for the show being filmed in Balsa City. It was repeated again in the Safety Corner segment following the episode about the difference between make-believe and grand larceny, this time for a promo for "Late Night with Dan Duck". Although Scaredy pushes the credits and promo out to continue with the segment, the segment [[IrisOut Irises Out]] despite not being done yet.

* From ''WesternAnimation/StrokerAndHoop'', after finishing a guest star role as a reward for saving a rapper's career:
-->'''Hoop:''' It's sure going to be a thrill to see my name speed by in the squeezed credits under the start of the local news.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' where Bart works on Krusty's show has a scene with all of Bart's friends and a bunch of his classmates watching the credits intently for Bart's name. Unfortunately, the credits get squashed to illegibility by a promo for the news. Bart insists that it reads "Bart Simpson" but Milhouse reads it as "Brad Storch" and Martin as "Benny Symington". Nelson then punches Bart for supposedly "taking credit for other people's work".

*** On September 25th, 2023, Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, and Boomerang returned to show the full end credits for all of their shows and movies. But Adult Swim still uses split screen credits pushback for most of their shows.

** The same can be said for all new animated series airing on Disney Channel starting in 2018 - both Disney made and non-Disney made ones. ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' is affected the most by this, due to having a great ending song that is only partially heard at the very end of the credits due to this trope.
