6	So you've reached the end of the story. All the major problems and plot points have been resolved, and it's time for our heroes to ride off into the sunset. It's perfect.
7
8	...except, maybe it's a little ''too'' perfect. Maybe it would feel a bit unrealistic, or it just wouldn't match the tone of the work, or you just want to end on a joke. That's where this trope comes in. At the very last second, a new problem arises and isn't resolved. Bam! End Credits.
9
10	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. At the very worst, it's a BittersweetEnding.
11
12	A cousin of AndTheAdventureContinues, but that trope would set the heroes off on a proper ''quest'' that could plausibly be a whole plot by itself. This, in contrast, is just here as a joke. Compare also to TheEndOrIsIt, where the villain is suggested to not quite be defeated.
13
14	Sometimes a sequel will be based on one of these, in which case the trope is retroactively subverted and transformed into a SequelHook. But if it wasn't intended to be taken that way in the first place, it can still be listed as an example of this trope.
15
16	May come about as a result of SomethingWeForgot. May overlap with HereWeGoAgain or WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain if the joke problem is similar to a problem from earlier. Or it could just be a BrickJoke coming back for the finale.
17
18	This is an EndingTrope, so spoilers will be unmarked!

24	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
25	* 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 brothers 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.
26	* In the ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' episode "Monsters In The House", Doraemon accidentally breaks the Mess-O-Monsters canister, releasing all of the monsters inside and leaving him and Nobi to conceal this fact from his parents. At the end, the company sends an empty canister back in time to Doraemon so they can trap the monsters. All's fine, except Doraemon breaks the thing again, and the next available one is backordered for a whole month, so now they have to go through the ordeal for 30 days instead of one.

29	[[folder:Fan Works]]
30	* ''[[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 proclaims she forgot to eat the TV dinner she was heating up before their power got cut off, which Marie deems acceptable enough.
31	* ''Fanfic/CreateYourOwnFate'': The StoryArc of the Undine-instigated terrorist uprising ends with Captain Kanril beaming the Undine into her shuttle, whose controls she thoroughly locked down so the Undine will have to physically break out, and "I cleaned it out pretty well." Then she gasps.
32	-->'''Kanril:''' Oh no!\
33	'''Sheri Walford:''' What?!\
34	'''Kanril:''' I think I left a butter knife in the kitchenette. ''(end scene)''
35	* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43536436 The Jacket]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/JuliaFC/pseuds/JuliaFC JuliaFC]] ends with Adrien and Marinette getting together. Then Adrien states he wants four children, and Marinette says she only has names for three.
36	* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfic ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/jgodzilla1212/art/The-Loud-House-Fanfic-36-Toy-Robot-Mayhem-899418001 Toy Robot Mayhem]]'', the story ends with the robot apocalypse having been averted... only for Lisa and Stella to realise that Leni is still trapped in a net.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
40	* ''WesternAnimation/AstroBoy'': Astro Boy sees an alien appear just after Astro finishes defeating the Peacekeeper and President Stone's subsequent arrest, and the film ends with Astro flying off to fight it.
41	* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'', after Nemo, Marlin, and Dory have returned to the reef, we cut back to the dentist's office in Sydney to find that Gil and the other aquarium fish have escaped to the open sea -- and they're still in their plastic bags, leading to the inevitable "[[AndThenWhat Now what]]?" [[OhCrap The look on Gil's face]] makes it clear that [[DidntThinkThisThrough he hasn't thought this far ahead]].
42	* ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' ends with the Toad being defeated, Roddy and Rita getting together (resolving Roddy's loneliness), and Sid taking Roddy's place so that Tabitha still has a pet rat. However, Tabitha brings home a "new friend" for Roddy/Sid that's implied to be a cat, because a meow is heard.
43	* ''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 LEGO... 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.
44	* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'': In TheStinger, to prepare for a discussion about repairing San Francisco after the monsters stopped the alien invasion, the President decides to press the giant red button that makes coffee. However, he accidentally presses the similar-looking giant red button that launches all the nuclear missiles instead.
45	-->'''President:''' Time to wave the white flag and head for the bunker, boys. Let's check on the situation in 500 years. ''[looks into the audience]'' Who wants to freeze my head?
46	* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'', everything is wonderful until Andy suddenly announces that he [[PetsAsAPresent got a puppy for Christmas]]. Woody and Buzz look at each other with nervous smiles.
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
50	* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': All four 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.
51	* The ending of ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' was ''supposed'' to be this trope, with Doc suddenly showing up to whisk Marty and Jennifer off to the future to sort out their own kids. However, when the film's unexpected success merited a sequel, this bit was retroactively turned into a straight SequelHook.
52	* The final shot of ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'' reveals that David Lo Pan's monstrous Wild Man has outlived his master and stowed away on Jack Burton's truck, but given everything else Jack has survived in the film, he's unlikely to pose a serious threat.
53	* ''Film/{{Fanboys}}'': Set in 1998, after spending the movie traveling to Skywalker Ranch so their terminally-ill friend could see the then-unreleased ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' before his death, his friends finally get to see the film in its official release a year later. As they sit in the theater, waiting in anticipation after camping out on the line, Eric suddenly poses the question: [[CallForward "Hey guys...]] [[ContestedSequel what if the movie sucks?"]]
54	* ''Film/FreakyFriday1976'': The last line in the film had the father and son saying, at the exact same time, that they would like to switch minds and bodies themselves. It was a similar simultaneous utterance by the mother and daughter earlier in the movie that led to the [[FreakyFridayFlip movie's plot]] in the first place.
55	* ''Film/HomeAlone'':
56	** In ''Film/HomeAlone1'', Kevin defeats the bad guys, reconciles with his entire extended family, and 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.
57	** ''Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork'' does it again. This time, everything is wonderful until Kevin's dad [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill suddenly realizes how much money he spent on room service]].
58	--->'''Buzz:''' ''(onscreen)'' Heh heh, Merry Christmas indeed. Oh, Dad...\
59	'''Peter:''' ''(offscreen)'' KEVIN!! YOU SPENT 967 DOLLARS ON ROOM SERVICE?!
60	* ''Film/JingleAllTheWay'': Howard spends Christmas Eve trying to get his son Jamie a Turbo Man doll. In TheStinger, his wife Linda asked him what he got for her on Christmas. This causes Howard to realize that he forgot to give Linda a gift.
61	* Subverted in ''Film/MenInBlack3''. After Agent J comes back to 2012 after saving his partner Agent K from being killed by Boris the Animal as well as saving the Earth from a Boglodite invasion in 1969, Agent J reconciles with Agent K at a diner. However, Griffin, an omniscient being with knowledge of alternate outcomes, fears that a meteor will hit the Earth if Agent K forgets to pay a tip. Luckily, he remembers to do so and the meteor hits a satellite instead.
62	* At the end of ''Film/PrinceCaspian'', when the Pevensies have returned to their own world, Edmund looks at his siblings and asks, in a serious tone, "I don't suppose there's any way to get back?" When they look at him in concern, he explains, "I left my new torch[[note]]flashlight to Americans[[/note]] in Narnia!" This gets a CallBack when Edmund and Lucy go back to Narnia in ''Film/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'': one of the first things Caspian does is return the torch, much to Edmund's amusement.
63	* ''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 space--and then suddenly (in a BrickJoke to the opening credits sequence) one of the flaps of the main thruster breaks off and Mal goes, "What was that?" Roll credits.
64	* ''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.
65	* ''Film/SomeLikeItHot'' famously ends with this trope. Jerry, who's been DisguisedInDrag as a woman named Daphne for the whole film, has won the affections of Osgood Fielding III. As they drive off into the sunset, Jerry explains why "she" can't marry Osgood, but he happily rebuffs all of "her" arguments. Finally, an exasperated Jerry rips off his wig and reveals his actual gender -- "I'm a ''man!''"... and Osgood cheerfully replies "Well, nobody's perfect!" Notably, the writers didn't actually plan on ending the movie with that reply; it was supposed to be a placeholder until they came up with something funnier, but they were never able to top it.
66	* ''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.
67	[[/folder]]
68
69	[[folder:Literature]]
70	* As a RunningGag, early ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' books always end with someone snapping their fingers near Mr. Krupp, making him transform into Captain Underpants and run away screaming "TRA-LA-LAA!", while George and Harold comment on it. Subverted from the sixth book onwards, when the gag is replaced with a more straightforward SequelHook.
71	* At the end of the children's book ''Literature/ClaytonParkerReallyReallyReallyHasToPee'', Clayton has managed to find a bathroom and relieve himself, but now he has a new problem to deal with when an elephant sprays him in the crotch.
72	* ''Literature/TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia'': During the early stages of the LoveTriangle between Han Solo and Leia Organa's new suitor, Prince Isolder of the Hapes Consortium, C-3PO does some well-meaning-but-unhelpful digging to try and help Han and discovers he's descended from Corellia's old royal family (his cousins the Sal-Solos are established in other stories to still be {{Blue Blood}}s back home). [[BrickJoke Way later at the end of the book]] when Han and Leia have patched things up and are getting married, Threepio comes running up to Luke Skywalker telling him they have to stop the wedding because he made a mistake in his research: Han is actually descended from an infamous pretender to the throne. Luke tells the droid he'll take care of it — and then switches him off and stuffs him in a closet until the wedding is over.
73	* At the end of ''Poopy Pants and Potty Rants'', the protagonist's daughter [[ToiletTrainingPlot is finally toilet trained]]... but now she has to learn how to wipe her own behind.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
77	* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'': In one episode, Gomez gets hit on the head and loses his memory. At the end of the episode, Gomez's memory has been restored, but Fester got hit on the head in the process and the final line is him asking "Who's Fester?". It's left unclear whether he'd really lost his memory or was just joking, and in the next episode he's fine and it's never mentioned again.
78	* ''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."
79	* ''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.
80	* ''Series/DontHugMeImScared'': At the end of "[[Recap/DontHugMeImScaredFamily Family]]", after the main trio realizes the importance of family, Red Guy finally opens the bag of Chuddle Dollops that they were trying to open at the beginning of the episode...only to find just two pieces inside.
81	-->'''Red Guy:''' I guess we could share-\
82	'''Duck Guy:''' I WANT BOTH!
83	* The first season of ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' ends with the team managing to get their act together, rescue the Chief and his daughter, and outwit Mr. Nobody... and then they discover that, thanks to the complicated plan that they hatched to defeat Mr. Nobody, they've all become miniaturized. The last scene ends with the camera pulling out while an enraged Cliff drops a ClusterFBomb.
84	* ''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 fade to black.
85	* ''Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure'': "Only As Young As You Feel" ends with Rita, Zac, Evie, and Sirena returning to the grotto to find Ondina and Mimmi affected by the potion Ondina made earlier, which causes EmotionalRegression. As the two of them argue like children, Rita shrugs and invites the others for tea, reasoning that the potion will wear off soon.
86	* Became a OnceAnEpisode thing when ''Series/SheWolfOfLondon'' was {{Retool}}ed into ''Love & Curses''. Ian and Randi stop a trio of witches who have been [[ForcedTransformation inflicting random transformations]] onto anyone who's the slightest bit rude to them? The episode ends with Ian messing around with their magic and accidentally turning them both into rabbits. They escape after being [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into a monster movie]] that never made it through its first screening by helping it play out to the end? They get sucked into a TV show that lost its ending due to a technical malfunction.
87	* The finale of ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' has Wataru’s KidFromTheFuture Masaru burst into the wedding of Nago and Megumi to announce that a group of Neo-Fangires has begun an attack on the world. The three Kivas (Wataru, Masaru and the former’s brother Taiga) and IXA leap into battle to fight the threat along with the [[EquippableAlly Arms Monsters]].
88	* 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 ''[[BlackComedy killed]]'' a member of the other group ''[[SapientEatSapient 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.
89	* The ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS01E05Babel Babel]]" is about a CurseOfBabel virus endangering everyone on the station, originally stemming from O'Brien trying to repair the replicators so that Commander Sisko can have [[MustHaveCaffeine a decent cup]] of [[{{Uncoffee}} a coffee-like beverage]]. After the crisis is resolved and everyone has recovered, Sisko takes a sip of his drink, nearly spits it out and snaps, "[[SayMyName O'Brien!]]" O'Brien is naturally annoyed that he's back to dealing with this.
90	* 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.

92
93	[[folder:Podcasts]]
94	* ''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 are 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]].
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Video Games]]
98	* ''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 (shown mostly during the closing credits)!
99	* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': The Part II of the "GUDAGUDA Final Honnoji" event ends with Mash informing everyone that they accidentally left Nagayoshi behind in the simulation and now there is a Singularity run by Berserkers. As Chaldea had just solved a Singularity run by Alter Servants, Demon King Nobunaga decides that they have had enough of nonsense and ends the story right there.
100	* 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.
101	* ''VideoGame/{{Subnautica}}'': In TheStinger, [[spoiler:the player is welcomed home to Alterra, but is denied permission to land until they've compensated the company for all the resources they collected and used while marooned on 4546B... which amounts to one ''trillion'' credits]].
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Webcomics]]
105	* ''Webcomic/FateGamersOnly'': At the end of the Orleans storyline, the cast returns to Chaldea having successfully resolved the Singularity, Rikku hands the Holy Grail to Tomoe, and then runs off in embarrassment from remembering all the cheesy stuff she said. After running outside, it turns out [[{{Yandere}} Kiyohime]] followed everyone back to Chaldea, and the chapter ends with Rikku yelling for Mash's help since she doesn't want to die.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Web Original]]
109	* ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'':
110	** In "[[Recap/MinilifeTVSeason1Episode12 The Splitzies 5000!!!]]", Chris and Ian advertise a device called the Splitzies 5000 that's designed to perfectly cut objects in half, but when they realize it's not actually available as a product, they apologize to their audience for getting their hopes up. The video ends with an angry mob breaking into Minilife Studios and Chris and Ian [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making an escape]].
111	** The next episode, "[[Recap/MinilifeTVSeason1Episode13 Making Up Words]]", has Chris and Ian hanging out at their house as they wait for the angry mob to leave Minilife Studios. When Chip tells them it's all clear after the mob decides to chase after Snowball and Archie, Ian decides to go back there to get a peanut butter and bacon sandwich he left in the fridge. Some ending text says that Ian never got it back because Snowball ate it.
112	--->'''Ian:''' Oh, what?! DANG IT! Now I hope that angry mob catches him!
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Western Animation]]
116	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Jimmy hosts a party while his parents are out and encounters various problems, including Sheen bringing back a velociraptor with his time machine (which Jimmy keeps locked in the closet). At the end, Jimmy finally gets everyone to leave and cleans the house before his parents arrive, seemingly having gotten away scot-free. But when Hugh goes to put away his coat…
117	-->'''Hugh:''' Honey, how long have we had a raptor in the closet?
118	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': In "Memories of Boom Boom Mountain", Finn goes to great lengths to help everyone he meets, even when their needs contradict each other. Just when he has finally managed to make everyone happy, Jake pipes up that he has a problem of his own: a dolphin has fallen in love. Finn declares this "the opposite of a problem" and goes water-skiing on the dolphin's back.
119	* Commonly used for EndOfEpisodeSilliness in ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. One good example is at the end of an episode with Schnitzel waiting an inordinately long time to cash in his paycheque, Chowder then reveals that he never cashed in his payment… and there’s now a longer queue.
120	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': At the end of "The Masked Magician", Timmy has made amends with Mr. Bickles after he stole his magic show and talked him down from being a supervillain. Then Britney Britney, who lost her gig at Las Vegas to make way for Bickles' new show, comes back with her own supervillainess persona, gunning for revenge.
121	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E6Thanksgiving Thanksgiving]]" ends with the main conflict of the episode (mainly Kevin's return and the reveal that he [[FakingTheDead faked his own death to get out of Iraq]]) resolved. Just then, another Kevin shows up at the door and claims that the other one is an imposter. Peter says that they have no time to resolve this issue and the episode ends, with no resolution to this plotline after that.
122	* ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'': 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.
123	-->'''Norman''': Oh, no! Radar has found our sausages!\
124	'''Sam''': What on earth's that?\
125	'''Steele''': Sausages?!\
126	'''Derek''': [[OhCrap I think]] ''[[OhCrap we're]]'' [[OhCrap the ones who need saving now..]]\
127	'''Dilys''': (gasps) So ''that's'' why I could smell sausages! Were you cooking in the bushes, Norman?\
128	'''Steele''': You made a campfire?! Ooooooh... Norman Price! You done it this time! Right! Where's your mother?\
129	'''Dilys''': I'll make sure he's properly dealt with at home, Station Officer Steele. You naughty boy!

In the end, all seems well when Eris tells Laval the tank was successfully repaired and Cragger's plan was successfully foiled... that is, until she tells him that the Beavers got too carried away with repairing the tank that they decided to make some modifications. Lagravis sees that his tank now has wings and angrily yells out his son's name before the credits roll.
131	* ''WesternAnimation/LittlePrincess'':
132	** At the end of "[[Recap/LittlePrincessS1E6IWantMyDummy I Want My Dummy]]", the Princess has finally given up her dummy (pacifier)... but King, Queen, Chef, Maid, General, and Prime Minister realise that they still made one another give their hobbies up, and they [[StillSucksThumb suck their thumbs]] in disappointment.

134	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
135	** At the end of the pilot, Lincoln resolves his PottyEmergency... only to find there is no toilet paper left.
136	** At the end of "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E3DrivingMissHazyNoGutsNoGlori No Guts, No Glori]]", Lori learns not to be so bossy, while her siblings realize that a complete lack of authority leads to chaos. However, they're still in trouble because Lola had broke Lynn Sr.'s golf clubs.
137	** At the end of "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E8LincOrSwimChangingTheBaby Linc or Swim]]", the Loud siblings have finally found peace and have a swimming pool to share, but baby Lily [[PuttingThePeeInPool poops in it]].
138	** "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E26StudyMuffinHomespun Homespun]]" ends with a revelation that the tornado didn't destroy the eponymous house after all. However, when Lynn Sr. goes to open the front door, the doorknob falls off, locking the Loud family out.
139	* ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'':
140	** "[[Recap/MarthaSpeaksS1E25MarthaInCharge Martha in Charge]]" ends with Helen recovered from her [[LostVoicePlot laryngitis]], the delivery guy who'd been [[HelpImStuck stuck in the doggie door]] unstuck, Truman realising that [[MistakenForThief Mr. Blaine, the chimney sweeps, and the fire department aren't burglars]], and Mr. Blaine, the fire department, and the police now out of the way... only the chimney sweeps are stuck on the roof because the ladder was taken away.
141	** "Martha Bakes": Helen, who'd been glum over losing an art contest, is happy again, and everyone has some cake to eat... but the living room rug is still dirty from the dogs' cake-baking attempts, to the ire of [[NeatFreak Mariella]].
142	** "Scaredy Cat" features an in-universe example -- in T.D.'s GhostStory ''The Invisible Man's Best Friend'', a dog becomes invisible due to a lab accident, and her owner eventually finds a way to turn her visible again... but she's now [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever grown into]] a CanisMajor.
143	** "Return to Martha's Slumber Party of the Weird" -- everyone's [[GoToSleepEnding getting ready for bed]], and Martha has finally found a story she likes... but she's nauseous from too many s'mores.
144	** "The Case of the Shattered Vase" -- Martha's story has convinced Helen not to be afraid anymore... but it's then revealed that Martha was inspired to write it from actually [[PricelessMingVase breaking a vase]] and [[ThievingPet stealing peanut butter]].
145	** "Never Forget to Remember" -- the kids have their ball back and the carousel is no longer stuck... but it's raining.
146	* The Season 2 finale of ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' ends on this: After Milo and the gang have saved planet Octalia and Orgaluth from the Sphere of Calamity surrounding her, they're finally leaving back to Earth... until Murphy's Law causes their spaceship's thrusters to fall off and crash back to Octalia. Then the usual "It's My World" sting plays.
