* ''CreditsGag/{{Freakazoid}}''



* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' had some fun with this. Ending credits in the first season gave a tally of the appearances of Emmitt Nervend, a character used entirely for momentary cameos. In season 2, this was replaced by SpoofAesop proverbs. Multiple episodes credit "Weena Mercator as the Hopping Woman", usually surrounded by fictional names. No such character ever appears.
** One ''Freakazoid!'' episode includes in the credits a wall of text which justifies their inclusion of a big song and dance routine performed by supervillain The Lobe, which boiled down to "We had to or aliens would destroy the world". It was on screen for perhaps less than a second, so a freeze-frame was practically required to spot it, let alone read it in its entirety.
** And again in an episode where Freakazoid dresses up as a Klingon to scare [[GeniusBruiser Cave Guy, a caveman with the intelligence of a Harvard graduate]] into a blinding panic, screaming that a made up race shouldn't have a made up ''actual'' language. The credits read that the show didn't want to invoke anti-Star Trek Klingon fans but then switched a sentence later to BIG FAT KLINGONS! repeat ad infinitum, though, yet again, for just a split second.
** In the third episode, with the Legends Who Lunch segment, there is a similar single-second wall of text talking about the (fictional) source of the characters shown in that episode. Freakazoid did this often.

** In the Hungarian credits, the voice actors and various other members of the dubbing studio are referred to by comical nicknames, save for the production manager, who has his actual, full name given. But since the most recent dubbing team doesn't have one, they simply end the credits with "Production Manager: there was none". Back when the dubbing was done by Creator/{{HBO}}, they also liked to pronounce it as "hábéó".

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' gave the animation director for the first five seasons, Kimson Albert, a different nickname in the credits of each episode. The nickname is always a reference to a line from the episode before that one (leading to such credits as "Kimson 'Retard Strength' Albert.") This practice moved over with Albert to ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes''.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' generally only credits the identities that appear -- e.g. Creator/NolanNorth is credited as "Superboy" if he's shown being a superhero, and "Conner" if his story is set entirely at Happy Harbor High. For the episode "Performance", in which the Team are undercover at Haley's Circus, they are all credited under their cover identities as the Daring Dangers.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Most "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween episodes have all credits being given "Spooky names", and the Gracie Films VanityPlate being accompanied by OminousPipeOrgan music.
** TheMovie had Homer urging the audience not to leave the theater early; "A lot of people worked hard on this movie, and all they ask is that you ''memorize their names!''" One of its credits reads, "Filmed on location in Springfield, .", a reference to [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Springfield not being in any particular state]].
** In "Bart Star", a ninth-season episode, Homer coaches a peewee football team. Homer talks over the credits, cutting everyone involved in the show, with the exception of guest star Joe "Vapor Lock" Namath. At the end, he cuts the Gracie Films logo.
*** Especially funny in that the very first name Homer cuts is "Creator/DanCastellaneta" - the name of the man who provides Homer's voice. So, in effect, Homer cut ''himself''! (Note: When this episode was shown on Sky with teletext subtitles, one last subtitle came up announcing the subtitler himself was cut.)
** In "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)", an Army sergeant talks over the end credits, assigning everyone to "front line infantry".
*** Except for Kiefer Sutherland, who provides the voice of the drill sergeant, who assigns himself to the "COAST GUARD!" (Music/DannyElfman is also spared, for some reason.)
** In "Regarding Margie", after Marge losing her memory, she tries to remember the people listed in the end credits.
** In "All Singing, All Dancing" the credits had Snake periodically shooting the sound guys to stop the music ("You too, Gracie music! GAH!") Unfortunately, sometimes syndication cuts it off right after his first threat.
** In "The Mansion Family", the episode ends with Homer crying over the fact that he's not rich. This carries over into the credits, where he cries over how rich all the people listed are and threaten to report them all to the IRS. When the Gracie Films logo appears, Homer responds to the "Shh" with "Don't shush me, you rich bastard!"
*** Or "Don't shush me!" if you're watching the episode on British televison (at least when it was shown on BBC Two, before the ChannelHop).
*** The DVD has Homer complaining over all the credits.
*** Another has Grandpa Simpson rambling over the credits until the logo shushes him and he apologies.
** On the [=DVDs=], there is usually list of public places where you shouldn't play [=DVDs=]. ''The Simpsons'' adds "couches" to the list (''very'' minor).
** At one point in the episode "Lisa the Vegetarian," guest star Music/PaulMcCartney claims that if one plays his song "Maybe I'm Amazed" from ''Music/McCartney'' backwards will reveal a secret recipe for lentil soup. The end credits thus features a recording of "Maybe I'm Amazed" with a backmasked recipe for lentil soup...and Paul saying "Oh, by the way, I'm alive", referring to the "Paul is dead" theories.
** 'Your Mom' is listed at the end credits of one episode.
** "Smart and Smarter" has [[Series/AmericanIdol Simon Cowell]], the guest star of that episode, riff over the ending credits. It ends with "Oh, shh yourself" in response to the Gracie Films logo.
** The executive producer credits (as well as the writer and director credits) for "Homerland" have the "E"s in the names turned backwards, a nod to the "E" used in the font for ''{{Series/Homeland}}''.
** The credits sequence in "Adventures in Baby-Getting" are in a cursive font, alluding to how Lisa's been secretly learning cursive in the B-Plot.
** The credits sequence of the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "The Simpsons Guy" (which is a crossover with ''The Simpsons'') begins with the Gracie Films logo, with Peter giving out "And now the show is over now" in tune to the music, followed by a combination of the credits sequences of both shows (this is more apparent near the end).
** At least two in-universe examples: at the end of the first two ''Itchy'' cartoons, only one man is listed in the credits. Also, ''The Poke of Zorro'' has credits that are just too awesome to be real:
--->@@Zorro ................................ John Byner@@

Who made this picture? How 'bout the MGM titles, the lion roar and all that kinda stuff?" The announcer apologizes, and the credits run as normal.
