* ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'': TheStinger in the final episode has Princess Celestia talking to an unknown person. After some cryptic dialogue of which only Celestia's side is heard, the princess asks the other person's name. She then answers: ''"My name? My name is..."''. Cue ending. [[spoiler:Subverted since the end gives the answer by giving the credits for Princess Celestia and Mia Fey.]]

--> '''Jonny''': What? There's no time left? It's the end of the movie? ''What'' movie?

--> '''Spike:''' What's this? Sitting around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot. That's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can't go without your Buffy? Is that it? Too chicken? Let's find her! She is the Chosen One, after all. ... Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let's annihilate them. For justice... and for... the safety of puppies – and Christmas, right? Let's fight that evil! ... [[HeroicComedicSociopath Let's kill something!]] [Fade to black.] Oh, come on!

--> '''Red:''' How'd it go?
-->'''Blue:''' Next time, I'm asking [[SirSwearsalot Lord Tourettes]].

-->'''Blue:''' Figures...

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had Zoidberg try to start up his own musical routine at the end (copying Hermes who had one earlier in the episode):
-->'''Zoidberg:''' Now it's time for Zoidberg's song -- ''When I was two there was a tidal wave...''\\
(''Credits start'')\\
'''Zoidberg:''' Awww

* During one episode of ''Series/TopGear'', the guys mentioned that they would be ending a minute early for a soccer match. During the end, Jeremy continued to ramble on while Richard and James begged him to stop while reminding him of the early ending. He says "[[TemptingFate What are they going to do?]] Cut us o..."[[note]] Followed, in the original broadcast, by the BBC continuity announcer saying, "Well, we did warn them!"[[/note]]

** "Pygmoelian" has Moe complain about the absurdity of the ResetButton: A prop wall fell on him, magically reversing the [[TheBeautifulElite plastic surgery]] he underwent back to his original appearance. He asks how this could happen, and points out he should have looked like a third face, but is hushed by the credits.

* In TheStinger to the series finale of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Dr. Drakken is asked how his skin turned blue and he starts that "It was on a Tuesday..." only to cut to the [[VanityPlate Vanity Plates]].

'''Zoidberg:''' Awww...

** "You Kent Always Say What You Want" ends with Homer trying to tell Lisa [[BitingTheHandHumor an awful truth about Fox]], only for his dialogue and Lisa's response to be dubbed over. When Homer protests against this, it immediately cuts to the 20th Century Fox logo, then to a white screen where he says "Now, what I was trying to say was-" before it cuts to the Gracie Films logo, and then the episode credits.

The characters are about to do something, but are interrupted by the end of the episode, often in the form of a "TheEnd" card. This isn't a CliffHanger that will be resolved when the characters finish their plans next episode; either the end of the episode actually prevents them from ever getting it done, or they at least [[NoFourthWall express dismay that the episode's ending has stopped or delayed them]].

* The ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' of ''50 Cent: Blood in the Sand'' sees Yahtzee regularly insisting that he isn't racist, going so far as to include "subliminal" messages about his lack of racism. He ends the review with an inspiring speech about how we should all put aside our differences and work together to build a better world. "Not that they'd know anything about work, the lazy nig--" *CREDITS*

* In the very last scene of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow'', Jonny, AKA Captain Melonhead, [[Face-HeelTurn has turned to evil after the other kids beat him up for beating up the Eds]]. He vows to rain terror on the cul-de-sac as The Gourd, only for Plank to tell him that the movie is over.
