In a nutshell, this is telling the audience the show is truly over. They can either wait for the next attraction or go home if that was the final one.
Line 9:
Often presented as [[The Stinger]], but other times it's a stock message.
If they do it often enough, it's an [[Every Episode Ending]] or [[Couch Gag]]. In modern times, [[Vanity Plate

== Anime and Manga ==▼
* The ending theme for ''[[
▲== Anime ==
▲* The ending theme for ''[[Nerima Daikon Brothers (Anime)|Nerima Daikon Brothers]]'' is basically summed up as "Yeah, it matters to our characters, but we're just actors. Thanks for buying the DVD so we can get beer. Now watch the next episode!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiW8MZi8MbA&feature=related You can hear the dub version here].
* The last episode of ''[[SD Gundam Force]]'' has one of these. It first seems like another [[Show Within a Show|Zako Zako Hour]], only this one is hosted by the titular Gundam Force. They give their thanks for watching the series to the very end, followed by a curtain call of every character who ever appeared.
{{quote|
'''Destroyer:''' ...last...
'''Zapper:''' ...''Forever!'' }}
* The Japanese dub for the final episode of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' had the show's entire cast sing the opening theme, and cheering after the song is over.
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'': The characters do this and even apologize for saying fuck so much.
* ''[[Ferris Bueller's
** Considering people were lured to stay through the credits because of Rooney's bus ride sequence, it can be considered a dirty trick on John Hughes' part.
** The same footage of Ferris Bueller was used at the end of ''She's Having A Baby''.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* The Finnish film ''Kummeli Stories'' used this as an elaborate pseudo-[[Brick Joke]]: About halfway through the movie, a topless woman walks into the scene for no reason other than the fact that the movie wouldn't be complete without a pair of naked breasts, with the other characters promising "more titties after the credits". This continues into the actual credits, with "more titties after the credits" shown once or twice as a reminder... and after the credits finally finish, another character shows up, scolds the audience for being a bunch of perverts, and tells them to go home.
* At the end of ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', Animal tells the audience to "Go home! Go home! Bye, bye!"
* At the end of ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'', Porky Pig attempts to deliver his famous catchphrase. Unfortunately for him, his stutter gets even worse than normal and after the lights go out he stops trying and, in an irritated tone, tells the audience to "Just go home, folks!"
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]?'' ended with Porky saying his line, followed by Tinkerbell blanking the screen with her wand, ''Disneyland''-style.
* Also done after the end credits in ''[[
* Daffy Duck in ''Gremlins 2'': "You're still here? Don't you people have homes?"
* Mike & the Bots returning after the final scene to actually riff on the credits of THEIR OWN MOVIE during the end credits of ''Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie." Example: Crow - "Since we're thanking the whole entire world, I would like to thank this guy I know named Earl...thank you, Earl."
* ''[[Get Him to The Greek]]'' featured [[It Makes Sense in Context|the disembodied head of Sergio Roma]] saying, "Go home. Get the fuck outta this theater. Seriously."
* [[The Movie]] of ''[[The Producers]]'' musical has a brief additional song at the end of the credits. Everybody (including Mel Brooks) tells you goodbye and get out.
* ''[[Scott Pilgrim
* ''[[
* ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]'' parodied ''Ferris Bueller'' with the title character appearing in a similar hallway wearing a similar robe to inform the audience that the movie was over and they weren't going to get a standard [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] [[Stinger]] with "Sam Jackson in a saucy leather number", before singing a bit of [[Standard Snippet|Yello's iconic "Oh Yeah"]].

* [[Mickey Mouse Club]] had the "Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company" variation of its opening theme.

* One episode of the ''[[Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' actually ended with Mary saying "Th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!"
== Music ==
* "[[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] has left the building." (So he won't be coming back on stage for another encore, so you may as well go home now.)
* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' ''Let It Be'' was the last album the group released, and John's final quip "I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and hope we pass the audition" would certainly be bittersweet. But since ''Abbey Road'' was the last the group recorded, that distinction would go to the last line of "The End":▼

▲{{quote| And in the end,<br />
▲The love you take<br />
Is equal to the love you make. }}
* [[Paul McCartney]] has done this in recent{{when}} concerts - in one he held at Abbey Road (which might air on a [[PBS]] station near you{{verify}}), he wrote a song in front of the audience, and the lyrics included "That's all for now! You've got to go home!" (Done very sweetly and melodically.) Since Paul recently{{when}} has been known to try to continue concerts after the mike has been turned off, a formalized goodbye is necessary.
* An ironic example by the band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_BRaK301A "That's All"]. The song title is the final lyrics and the rest is instrumental until it fades out.
* Unusual example: the final song of the [[Type O Negative]] album ''October Rust'' cuts off abruptly (after 10 minutes of epicness) and then the lead singer says "Well, that's about it. That's all we have. I hope it wasn't too disappointing. We will see you on tour. Until then, take it easy."
* [[Big & Rich]]'s debut album ''Horse of a Different Color'' included a nearly minute-long goodbye after the last song which was obviously unscripted.
* Eric Idle and Neil Innes' "Rutland Weekend Times" has an instrumentalless finale which includes this couplet:
{{quote|
And we've went and overspent it by a mile }}
** An alternate version has this couplet:
{{quote|
Now there's nothing left to make you buggers laugh. }}
* [[Joseph Haydn]]'s Symphony No. 45 is known as the "Farewell" Symphony - he and his musicians were kept at Prince Nikolaus Esterházy's summer palace much longer than expected, so at the end of the last movement, each musician stopped playing and left the stage, snuffing out their candle, until there were two violinists left. The prince got the hint and let them go the next day.
* ''[[Sesame Street]]'' sing-along or play-along cassettes from the 1980s invariably ended with a stern male narrator announcing: "The tape is over. Please press the STOP button. Push it now." If you still hadn't pushed it after that, you got Oscar the Grouch sarcastically yelling: "WILL YOU PUSH IT NOW ALREADY?!"

* ''[[The Goon Show|The Last Goon Show Of All]]'' included the following pair of announcements after the outro music.▼

'''Spike Milligan''' (performer): Now ''get out!'' }}▼
** NB the reference to the recording being OK might seem paradoxical because they'd have to stop the tape in order to check it, but a second recording was made for transcription purposes and that's where the end tag came from.▼

Line 112 ⟶ 118:
* ''[[Pagliacci|"Le commedia es finita!"]]''
* When [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]] played the Hollywood Bowl, they ended with a card on the big screen reading "THE END". After a few seconds, this was replaced with one reading "Now piss off!"

* [[Mel Blanc]]'s [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Mel_Blanc_4-15-05.JPG tombstone].▼
* Standard bar or pub line at closing time: "This is the last call. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here." There was even a pop song with lyrics almost exactly like the above ("Closing Time" by Semisonic).▼
* [[Microsoft Windows|Windows 95]], upon being shut down, would "end" on a blank screen except for the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer." Newer versions of Windows would probably do the same, if not for the advent of PCs that could just turn themselves off instead of waiting for the user.▼
* Virtually all data transmission standards specify "End of Stream" or functionally similar code. Data that, for whatever reason, comes after such code are treated as though they don't exist.▼
== Video Games ==
Line 132 ⟶ 123:
* Cruelly used at the end of ''[[Sly Cooper|Sly 2]]''. After the credits roll, the player is told, "Well. That's it. You've seen everything. You win. Go outside." What's cruel about this is {{spoiler|the game ended with quite the [[Bittersweet Ending]], with Bentley crippled, Murray's van lost, and the gang disbanded.}}
* ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island]]'' ends with a message telling the player to turn off the computer and go to sleep. The [[Video Game Remake]] instead says [[Sequel Hook|Guybrush Threepwood Will Return]].
** The original version of ''[[Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge]]'' ends with a (very) long list of suggestions for what to do now that you've completed the game.
*** ''[[Escape
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' does this with The End screen. A no-brainer usually, really, but with the series' tendecy to hide extra endings after the initial ending cutscene and credits, The End screen is the only consistently sure way to tell that it's really safe to turn the game off without the fear of missing something.
** Even then, it's not a sure thing. Some of them play a version of the Prelude (you know, that theme with the up-and-down arpeggios) a minute or so ''after'' the music stops and "The End" appears, a theme which can't be heard at any other point. Most people miss it unless they happen to leave the game running.
* [[Super Mario 64
* Just before the prompt to save [[New Game+]] data, both ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4]]'' put the word "Fin" on the last freeze frame, {{spoiler|Aigis holding the MC's dying body}} in ''3'' and the main character looking at a picture of him and his friends in ''4''.
* The shower scene at the end of [[Tomb Raider]] 2.

* The [[Animutation]] [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/cnb "Chocolate Niblet Beans"] ends with Handy from ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' saying "Well, kids, that's all you get! That's it! READ A BOOK!"
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARPmOwpyzLQ I hope I introduced you to a good comic you havn't read before], then the author invites everyone to tell him why his top 10 list is wrong and what comics he should have been reading all this time.
Line 154 ⟶ 145:
* Again, Porky Pig is the [[Trope Namer]], even though [[Bosko the Talk Ink Kid]] by all accounts [[Older Than They Think|beat him to that line by several years.]]
** After 1946, Porky was replaced with the title phrase being written out in script.
** Spoofed in movies like ''[[Gremlins]] 2'' and ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''.
*** And on TV by [[Genre Savvy|Bat-Mite]] in ''[[Batman:
*** Well that was the end of the episode, the end of the series though (which was the last few minutes {{spoiler|had nearly all the characters of the show, hero and villain, coming to an after party hosted by Ambush Bug. Batman ends the show by thanking the viewers for watching and promises they'll meet again.}}
*** And on the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Reincarnation", with Bender saying "Th-th-th-that's all we got, chumps!"
Line 163 ⟶ 154:
** The 1990s short "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers" ends with a scary, [[Limited Animation]] version of Porky attempting to say the line, but Bugs kicks him out and places the real Porky in the drum. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDl_R-KgTok Take a look here.]
** From 1934 to 1936, the Merrie Melodies films ended with a jester standing in front of the titles on a stage saying "That's all, folks!" The self-writing script began in 1936 with Friz Freleng's ''I Wanna Play House.'' Looney Tunes would do this (starting with Tex Avery's ''Golddiggers Of '36'') for a year before using Porky in a drum.
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' and ''[[
* ''[[
* Interestingly, Universal's early cartoons starring [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] and other assorted characters ended with the words "That's All, Folks" literally copied word for word. Oh, and it had a few "[[Betty Boop|Bo-Bo-Be-Boops]]" before that line is even said as well.
** What you're actually hearing the chorus sing is "That's Oswald," not "That's All, Folks." The recent [[Woody Woodpecker]] DVDs ''miscaption'' it as the latter, leading to confusion.
** Also, the ''bo-bo-be-doop'' was a very common form of scatting back then. It didn't start with Betty Boop.
* ''[[The Critic]]'': "Excuse me, sir, the show's over." Jay's response is a [[Couch Gag]].

* One of the Gargoyles does this at the end of ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' where he says "Goodnight Everybody!"
* One episode of [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]] had Double D [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|request for a "iris out" to end the episode,]] having tired of Eddy's stupidity for the day.
** [[The Movie]], after the credits, ended with {{spoiler|Jonny asking the question [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|"What movie?"]], after Plank "tells" him its too late to exact his revenge since the movie ([[Grand Finale|and in turn, the series]]) is over.}}

* At the end of ''[[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 2]]'', we see one of the tour guide [[Barbie]] dolls telling the viewer, "Buh-bye now!" Of course, if you stick around to watch her tell people good-bye, she eventually stops and complains about how tired she is of having to do it.
* The Mexican policeman from the [[American Dad
* At the end of ''[[King Size Canary]]'', the cat and mouse are now both the size of planets due to them consuming a magic potion that can turn them into giants. However, at the end of the short, the bottle containing said potion is now empty, and therefore the cat and mouse cannot change back and as a result the mouse tells the viewers that they actually have to end the picture because of this.
* At the end of the credits of ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', [[Alluring Anglerfish|the Anglerfish]] appears one last time, only for it to be eaten up by a smaller fish, who swims away to end the movie.
** Its [[Dueling Movies|counterpart]] ''[[Shark Tale]]'' ends with Ms. Sanchez the weaverfish telling everyone to go home because "it's past your bedtime."
