* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': In the season 3 episode [[Recap/FrasierS03E05KissesSweeterThanWine Kisses Sweeter Than Wine]], just as it seems as though a bribe has managed to get all the handymen out of Fraiser's apartment in time for his party guests arrival, does a loud flush come from the bathroom, followed by the last of the handymen exiting. Cue credits.

* ''Series/DontHugMeImScared'': At the end of "[[Recap/DontHugMeImScaredFamily Family]]", after the main trio realizes the importance of family, Red Guy finally opens the packet of Chuddle Dollops that they were trying to open at the beginning of the episode...only to find two pieces inside.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20911256 1.21 Kankerwatts,]]'' an ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' fanfic ends with Marie [[DiscussedTrope talking about how she expected this trope to kick in]]. May remembers she forgot to eat the TV dinner she was reheating before their power got cut off, which Marie deems acceptable enough.

* The ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E17APieceOfTheAction A Piece of the Action]]" has Kirk and Spock having stopped the gang war between Oxmyx and Krako, with the implication that Sigma Iotia III is on its first babysteps to becoming a healthy democracy. Then, at the very end of the episode, Doctor [=McCoy=] has an OhCrap moment: he accidentally left his communicator down on the planet when they left. Kirk takes it in stride, jokingly pointing out that as good as the Sigma Iotians are at reconstructing culture from one artifact, they may well form their own Starfleet and come looking "for a piece of ''our'' action" someday.

* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': All three movies end with Dave yelling, "AAALLLVIIIIIIN!" because of something bad Alvin did, accidentally or not. We never find out how Dave has decided to punish him.

* The ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' Season 1 episode "ESP Kitty" spends its time picking through the inner thoughts of the cast and climaxing on Ichimatsu Matsuno revealing his massive insecurities to his brothers via the kitten. The episode ends with his brother reassuring him and all of them going off in high spirits...all except Karamatsu, who was still hogtied and strung up from the episode's earlier segment.

* ''Film/TheSantaClause'' Scott embraces his role as Santa Claus, fixes his relationship with his son Charlie, and smooths things over with his ex-wife Laura. Things look rosy as he and Charlie take off in the sleigh to deliver presents when suddenly Laura starts worrying about how long they'll be gone. The film ends with her yelling at the top of her lungs while happy music plays in the background.

* ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', despite the loss of two beloved characters, nevertheless ends on a triumphant note. The Alliance's evil has been exposed publicly, the Operative calls it quits, and it really seems that our heroes have made a difference in the end. The ship dramatically lifts off and flies off into the space--and then suddenly (in a BrickJoke to the opening credits sequence) one of the flaps off the main thruster breaks off and Mal goes, "What was that?" Roll credits.

* ''Podcast/ListenOutLoud'' (''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'''s official podcast): One episode ends with [[AnimalLover Lana]] realising that she can still see the animals from the shelter even when they adopted, apologising for being mean to the customers, and the customers adopting their new pets... however, she then realises that she still hasn't adopted out Greg the goat, who then [[ExtremeOmniGoat eats her twin sister Lola's lipstick]].

* At the end of ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', as the cast all begin to head off their own ways, Team Chaotix realise that Eggman hasn't paid them for the detective work he anonymously hired them for, then notice him trying to sneak off, and proceed to give chase.

** "[[Recap/TheRealGhostbustersS5E2SomethingsGoingAround Something's Going Around]]" ends with the Ghostbusters' supernatural ailments cured and the ghosts caught. Unfortunately however, Janine has to stay at the firehouse while her apartment is being renovated and [[RightOnQueue the Ghostbusters and Slimer are made to wait in line]] outside the bathroom while she takes a bath.

* ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'': [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The climax of "The Great Fire of Pontypandy" has everyone celebrating in the rain... until Radar finds sausages. Norman and his cousin Derek realise that it's '''their''' sausages, and everyone is '''extremely''' angry at them. (because the sausages are the things that caused the forest fire in the first place)

-->'''Ian:''' Oh, what?! DANG IT! Now I hope that angry mob catches him!

* ''Series/BlackMirror'': "[[Recap/BlackMirrorUSSCallister USS Callister]]" ends with the ''Callister'' crew free of Daly's control and realizing they can now explore the updated ''Infinity'' game at their leisure... and they immediately have to escape the quadrant when an obnoxious player promises to "blast them into shit."* ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire'': "[[Recap/TheBrittasEmpireS7E4WakeUpTheLionWithin Wake Up the Lion Within]]" ends with the major plot lines of the episode (namely Brittas trying to win the European Award for Excellence and Carole dealing with [[GollumMadeMeDoIt a bossy alter-ego]] which turns her into a BadBoss) resolved. Just then, a lion, which Colin had been keeping a secret from Brittas, proceeds to escape and hitches a ride at the back of the award-giver's car. Roll credits.

'''Kanril:''' I think I left a butter knife in the kitchenette.

* In ''Film/HomeAlone1'', Kevin defeats the bad guys, reconciles with his entire extended family, and even helps his neighbor Marley reconcile with ''his'' family in the meantime. The moment is suddenly ruined when Buzz shouts, "Kevin! What did you do to my room?!" But we're left to assume that Kevin will be okay in the end.
* ''Film/HomeAlone2'' does it again. This time everything is wonderful until Kevin's dad suddenly realizes how much money he spent on room service.
-->"KEVIN!! YOU SPENT 967 DOLLARS ON ROOM SERVICE?!"

* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' ends with Peter Parker getting his Spider-Man suit back from Tony Stark and putting it on in his room. However, it turns out Aunt May saw him put it on and shouts [[CurseCutShort "What the f?"]] just as the credits roll. Later movies show that she is OK with her nephew being Spider-Man as she still lets him go on missions, but there's still the implication that Peter had some convincing to do to keep being Spider-Man.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' ends with Lord Business doing a HeelFaceTurn while The Man Upstairs learns to be a better father. Everything is great in the world of Legos...and then suddenly Duplo blocks show up and declare war. Roll credits. This retroactively became a SequelHook in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart, where the Duplo invasion is what causes the conflict of the film.

Another Loud House example: At the end of the pilot, Lincoln resolves his PottyEmergency... only to find there is no toilet paper left.

-->'''Norman''': Oh, no! Radar has found our sausages!
-->'''Sam''': What on earth's that?
-->'''Steele''': Sausages?!
-->'''Derek''': [[OhCrap I think]] '''[[OhCrap we're]]''' [[OhCrap the ones who need saving now..]]
-->'''Dilys''': (gasps) So '''that's''' why I could smell sausages! Were you cooking in the bushes, Norman?
-->'''Steele''': You made a campfire?! Ooooooh... Norman Price! You done it this time! Right! Where's your mother?
-->'''Dilys''': I'll make sure he's properly dealt with at home, Station Officer Steele. You naughty boy!
