* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'': The most commonly-seen ending has all of the heroes from time periods other than the Present saying their goodbyes to Crono, Lucca, and Marle before departing through the time portal at the Millennial Fair back to their own times. Just before it closes for good, however, Crono's cat also randomly decides to jump into the portal, followed by his mother chasing it. Whoops! Guess it's time for one more trip through time (shows mostly during the closing credits)!

Unlike the SuddenDownerEnding, this isn't intended to ruin the mood. It's still a happy ending! It's just a happy ending with a small joking nod to how things aren't perfect, and that's ok, and we trust that the heroes will deal with it somehow.

* A weird example in the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E6LonelyAmongUs Lonely Among Us]]", where -- after the crew have been distracted from the two enemy alien races they're transporting by the EnergyBeing of the week -- the "joke" problem is that one alien faction has possibly ''killed'' a member of the other group ''and wants the crew to cook it for them''. And this is completely PlayedForLaughs, with Picard dumping the situation on Riker, and everyone acting like this is a complicated situation, but not a serious one.
