History Main / LastNoteHilarity

* AvenueQ's "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"

* The TheyMightBeGiants song "She Thinks She's Edith Head" after what could almost be called a LastNoteNightmare with John Flansburgh screaming "SHE'S LOST HER MIND!!!" Afterwards, if we listen very closely, Flansburgh says "Let's listen!" followed by John Linnell announcing "I ate a bug." Flansburgh then says "I can't hear you at all!"

* An [[TheLonelyIsland I'm on a Boat]] [[MemeticMutation Parody]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06kDBBNylAQ "I Found a Dog"]] the song is about a guy who was lonely and found a dog who can literally do anything. However, this turns out to be more about the guy's personal issues rather than the actual dog, and eventually gets completely off point. (the video description includes the lyrics)

** Also, Duane's solo work, Action Adventure World, has his SuperMarioLand song end with a love song from Mario to Daisy, capping it off with a belch.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', the song "Giant Woman" ends with a goat bleating. ItMakesSenseInContext.

You've just heard a really rocking song, and at the end when you think it's over. Maybe you hear something that sounds like the engineer forgot to stop the recording and someone in the band says something funny. Maybe the genre of the [[GenreShift song all-of-a-sudden changes]]. Maybe the last line of the song is just so ridiculous sounding, that you fall out of your chair. That's the kind of thing that goes in this trope!

Remember: One Troper's Last Note Hilarity can be another Troper's LastNoteNightmare. This can be compared to LastNoteNightmare and CrowningMomentOfFunny: Music.

* Some [=AMC=] Theatres play an end bumper after the film has run its course. One of these bumpers features a red sphere dressed up in a white towel whistling while moving to the right, before gasping and running away--the sphere eventually picks up the towel and puts it back on. A female announcer remarks that you're "our kind of people" and that you should join [=AMC=] Stubs, before yelling "Now GO HOME already!".

** As "Phony Calls" is fading out, if you turn up your speakers, you can hear Al sing "But you're just a pain in the a�" before the song completely cuts off.

[[caption-width-right:350:Guess Takeru had to find out the hard way.]]

A Cryptid is an animal which is not yet known to modern science, such as [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Bigfoot]], Mothman, or the [[StockNessMonster Loch Ness Monster]]. Sometimes, a show that is not usually focused on them will have an episode or two about them.

This type of episode can be used as a characterisation exercise, establishing some of the characters as [[AgentMulder believers]] and others as [[AgentScully skeptics]].

Possible plots for this kind of episode include:
* The characters spend the episode trying to find the cryptid. In a SliceOfLife series, they generally don't succeed, conclude that it must not exist, and go home. (Sometimes it will be revealed to the audience that the creature is RealAfterAll, but the ''characters'' discovering a cryptid could [[StatusQuoIsGod permanently change their lives forever, and that's BAD]]).
* The characters find a cryptid early in the episode, and spend the episode trying to look after it/hide it/help it find its way home.
* Characters are traveling on holiday and encounter one. (Abominable Snowman seems to be the most common one for this, what with mountain getaways and {{Christmas Episode}}s providing plenty of snowy settings).
* A show with a MonsterOfTheWeek format will have a cryptid as one of said monsters.
* A crime show may come across a murder or other crime allegedly committed by a cryptid. The characters usually find out that there's a reasonable explanation for it.

If done clumsily, this can easily result in a BizarroEpisode.

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Anime And Manga ]]

* ''Anime/{{Kagewani}}'' showcases cryptids being investigated by Profesor Banba in a monster of the week format. It also shows their aggression towards civilians caught up in their attack.
* ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Fujiko's singing voice attracts the Loch Ness Monster, Lupin is tasked with collecting tears from a yeti, the entire gang goes after a mermaid's treasure... this sort of plot has happened a few times... In the anime ''Anime/LupinIII'', at least.
* ''Anime/MagicalAngelCreamyMami'', of all things, has an episode based around a sea monster.
* In an episode of TheNineties ''Anime/SailorMoon'', they find a sea monster while on vacation. It doesn't have any connection to the magic of the show.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Literature ]]

* ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' uses either stock monsters (vampires, werewolves, mummies, etc.) or original ones, the sole exception being ''The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena''.
* In the short story "The Convenient Monster", Literature/TheSaint uncovers a murder that looks like the work of the Loch Ness Monster. At the end of the story, [[spoiler: the murderer is killed by the actual Loch Ness Monster]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* The ''Series/{{Bones}}'' episode focusing on the Chupacabra cryptid uses it as a way to explore the difference in worldviews between rational, scientific female lead and her more open-minded male partner.
* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the Doctor has met up with Yeti in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E2TheAbominableSnowmen The Abominable Snowmen]]" and the Loch Ness Monster in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E1TerrorOfTheZygons Terror of the Zygons]]".
* In one episode of ''TheDukesOfHazzard'', TheGreys are hiding in Hazzard County.
* One episode of ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero'' has Ralph wanting to use the supersuit to hunt for a legendary sea serpent, but soon getting diverted into dealing with some human villains. Similar to the X-Files example below, the serpent puts in an appearance ([[SpecialEffectsFailure of sorts]]) at the very end of the episode, seen only by the viewer.
* ''Series/{{Heartbeat}}'' had one episode with the cops searching for some legendary big cats that were killing sheep on the Yorkshire moors. Turned out to be incompetent sheep rustlers instead.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' had a "cock-a-mouse," part cockroach, part mouse, capable of flight.
** Also one cut to 2029 references this in a BackgroundGag, with an older, balding Marshall standing in front of a newspaper clipping reading "NYC Lawyer Captures Nessie".
* ''Series/ICarly'' has an episode centering around the hunt for Bigfoot.
* ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'' (the Sci-Fi/USA TV series) did a Big Foot episode. Big Foot turns out to be naturally invisible. And a female.
* ''Series/MacGyver'' encounters Bigfoot in the thrid season episode "Ghost Ship".
* A [[LaterInstallmentWeirdness latter-season]] episode of ''Series/MiamiVice'' has one of the characters being kidnapped while investigating a cult and the rest of the cast rushing to find her, only to find out that they have run into an honest-to-God AlienAbduction plot with honest-to-God aliens (the leader of which [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency is played by]] ''Music/JamesBrown''). A good example of the "BizarroEpisode" variant.
* Neal on ''Series/TheNewsroom'' would occasionally try to submit a story about Bigfoot being real. [[ThisIsReality For obvious reasons,]] he was never taken seriously.
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' season 2 episode "[[Recap/SherlockS02E02TheHoundsOfBaskerville The Hounds of Baskerville]]" centers around a mysterious "hound" that apparently killed the client's father in his childhood, near the Baskerville military installation. Sherlock and John chase this strange creature for the majority of the episode until it's realized [[spoiler:they were suffering under the effects of a powerful hallucinogenic vapor that was being disseminated in a nearby wooded area. The client's father was killed because [[HeKnowsTooMuch he figured out]] what was happening in that area and a researcher working on the project, a man he thought was his friend, had to silence him]].
* The infamous ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' episode where Steve Austin fights with Bigfoot.
** Spoofed on ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', where the [[CaptainErsatz show's version of Steve Austin]] is living with Bigfoot [[spoiler:as ''lovers'']].
* Interestingly enough, ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' completely averts it: in the course of six-and-a-third seasons, the main characters have encountered [[FantasyKitchenSink angels, zombies and everything in between]], but [[RunningGag any hunter worth his rock salt knows that Bigfoot is a hoax]].
** The Wendigo was still played straight though.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'' had enough cryptid episodes to stuff the Berlin Zoo full with them. And often subverted (and double subverted) them. A rampaging lake monster turns out to be a killer alligator [[spoiler: while at the end the lake monster surfaces, unseen by anyone]] and a group of greys walking down a hill at an environmental spill turn out to be misidentification of men in hazmat suits.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Game ]]

* Cryptid-related sidequests show up fairly often in ''Franchise/MetalGear'':
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2Substance'''s "Snake Tale E - External Gazer" is a story about Snake being sent by Otacon to photograph a weird sea monster that's been spotted in New York. Otacon is curious about what this means for the sciences, Mei Ling wants it in a zoo, and Snake doesn't believe it exists (and has to fight it, obviously). The sea monster is a giant version of the {{Mook}} soldiers you fight in the main game with a fin on its head, though this is never mentioned in the plot.
** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', it is possible to capture the Japanese cryptid the tsuchinoko, which causes Zero to order you not to eat it and to bring it back home. If you successfully return it you get the rank 'tsuchinoko' and stealth camouflage to use. (If you eat it, it tastes delicious.) Only one exist in the game.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' contains a chunk of ''Franchise/MonsterHunter''-pastiche missions where the player gets to fight and harvest meat from dinosaur-like monsters referred to in-universe as UMAs, including Gear Rex (a non-"metal" version of Metal Gear REX). It also contains ghost photography missions where you must detect and photograph ghost guards.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidGroundZeroes'' has a mode where you play as Raiden to fight aliens.
* ''VideoGame/NelsonTethersPuzzleAgent'', in the second episode Nelson encounters [[spoiler:Bigfoot]] who helps in destroying the lunacy machine.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Puppet Shows ]]

* An episode of Gerry Anderson's ''Series/{{Stingray 1964}}'' has the submarine and crew shipped to Scotland to find the Loch Ness Monster.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Radio ]]

* The ''Radio/HamishAndDougal'' episode "The Monster in the Loch" has the characters accidentally burn the log that gullible tourists mistake for a monster, and then learn that it's RealAfterAll.
* One episode of ''Radio/TheNavyLark'' has the Troutbridge crew reassigned to find the Loch Ness Monster.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Comics ]]

* Par for the course in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' So far the characters have met Dragons, Unicorns, Bigfeet, and the Loch Ness Monster.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Original ]]

* ''Literature/SuperpowerEmpireChina1912'' deals with AlternateHistory but one of the episodes involves chasing a bigfoot in the Mongolian steppe.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* A MonsterOfTheWeek in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' was TheJerseyDevil.
* In one episode, ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' and her friends go looking for a yet- erm, [[InsistentTerminology sasquatch]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'', Dagget meets "Big Byoo-tocks".
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' has Chowder searching for [[PunnyName Bigfood]].
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' involved Bigfoot. A subplot involves Eustace capturing said Bigfoot for a reward.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' "Canada", Dan and Chris run afoul of a yeti [[spoiler:who is descended from Chris' great-grandfather, meaning him and Chris are related.]]
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' featured [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Bigfoot]] while another used the {{Chupacabra}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' had an episode, "Trout!" where Jim drags Peter on a road trip after seeing a (obviously faked) postcard of a 'Giant Fur-bearin' Trout'. At the same time, Queen Slug-For-A-Butt is on earth searching for said fish, as, for some bizarre reason, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head's newest weapon is powered by fish-hair. Jim almost gives up after going to the maker of said postcard who admitted it was a fake, but is drawn by a vision which actually does lead him to the Giant Fur-bearin' Trout, which he must protect from the queen.
* In the ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' episode "Spanish Fry", Fry goes to look for Bigfoot, who appears at the end to act as a DeusExMachina.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' has Jon looking for Bigfeets.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' featured a visit to Loch Ness during the Avalon World Tour. Of course within the series, the Gargoyles themselves are technically cryptids too.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', the creature he is fighting turns out not to be an EVO but is instead a (perfectly natural) chupacabra.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', Godzilla fights the Loch Ness Monster.
* The [[StockNessMonster Lake Nose Monster]] and the {{Chupacabra}} from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''.
* The "Little Bigfoot" episode of ''WesternAnimation/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' has Sam trying to rescue a young Bigfoot working as a busboy and return him to the wild. [[spoiler:It turns out he wasn't a Bigfoot, just the son of a sideshow freak.]]
* Interestingly, the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise usually makes up its own monsters from scratch. When [[YouMeddlingKids Those Meddling Kids]] ''do'' encounter a famous cryptid such as Nessie or the Chupacabra, it tends to happen in a feature-length story rather than a routine episode.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', the discovery of the legendary Hodag turns out to be a hoax as usual, [[spoiler: but it's perpetrated BY the meddling kids and they get away with it]].
* Cryptids are the entire point of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In an attempt to become the world's most lovable billionaire, Mr. Burns goes to Loch Ness to capture Nessie.
** A sort-of example is the episode where Homer gets lost in the woods and is mistaken for Bigfoot.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episodes "Jakavosaurs" and "Jewpacabra".
** And AlGore ''thinks'' it's the premise of "Manbearpig", but it really isn't.
-->"No one takes me cereal!"
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpooktacularNewAdventuresOfCasper'', Dr. Harvey and the Ghostly Trio went on a camping trip and Bigfoot scared them away. It turns out [[spoiler:Bigfoot was actually WesternAnimation/BabyHuey]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' inflicted the Big Butt upon its viewing audience. It was the one furry creature Elmyra wanted nothing to do with.
* According to a short from ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow,'' Bigfoot tracks are actually left by a diminutive hillbilly hermit who lives all alone because he's tired of people making fun of his giant feet.

You've just heard a really rocking song, and at the end when you think it's over. Maybe you hear something that sounds like the engineer forgot to stop the recording and someone in the band says something funny. Maybe the genre of the [[GenreShift song all-of-a-sudden changes]]. Maybe the last line of the song is just so ridiculous sounding, that you fall out of your chair. That's the kind of thing that goes in this trope!

Remember: One Troper's Last Note Hilarity can be another Troper's LastNoteNightmare. This can be compared to LastNoteNightmare and CrowningMomentOfFunny: Music.

[[AC: {{Music}}]]
* The song by the Scottish indie band Music/{{Bis}} called "Mr. Important". The song is really upbeat, then at the very end of the song, it cuts to a country variation of the song with acoustic guitar and the singer going "Mr. Important, yeah yeah yeah yeah!"
** Another Bis song ends with a recording of someone asking a woman what she though of a concert, the woman responds with: "It was shit, really. I had the worst time in my life! I thought the performers were arrogant assholes, and... [[CaptainObvious I want to go home now actually.]]"
** Yet another Bis song, [[ComicBook/NinjaHighSchool Ninja High Skool]], ends with random sequences of squealing in German about ten seconds apart from each other.
* Music/ArcticMonkeys have this in some songs.
** "Library Pictures" has one in the [[InvertedTrope beginning]] where lead singer Alex says "I'm in a vest".
** "Put Your Dukes Up John" (the cover) ends with Alex saying, "sweat? What are you doing to be sweating that much?" followed with the other band members laughing.
* Music/{{ACDC}}'s "Night Prowler" ends with Bon Scott saying [[Series/MorkAndMindy "Shazbot. Nanu nanu."]]
** "The Jack" ends with Bon Scott thanking an unappreciative audience.
* D12's song "My Band" ends with the beat switching to a Latina-inspired melody and style, with {{Eminem}} rapping over it about his "salsa", (parodying "Milkshake" with "My Salsa").
* Wizzard's "Are You Ready to Rock" randomly puts in bagpipes at the end.
* The TheyMightBeGiants song "She Thinks She's Edith Head" after what could almost be called a LastNoteNightmare with John Flansburgh screaming "SHE'S LOST HER MIND!!!" Afterwards, if we listen very closely, Flansburgh says "Let's listen!" followed by John Linnell announcing "I ate a bug." Flansburgh then says "I can't hear you at all!"
** "Spy" is a catchy, jazzy song that ends with a few bars of comically discordant trumpet music that [[OverlyLongGag seem to go on for way too long]].
* Music/{{Primus}}'s "Over The Electric Grapevine" ends with a long instrumental riff... which is followed by "Vive la France, Vive la France!"
* Music/LiquidTensionExperiment's "When the Water Breaks" is a serious ProgressiveRock instrumental throughout most of its nearly 17 minute run. The last minute or so, however, is a quirky honky-tonk piano solo. "Universal Mind" is similarly epic... until the last 30 seconds, which is circus music.
* Music/MaximumTheHormone's "Koi No Megalover" is easily the coolest song ever written. Then at the end, one of the member screams something in Japanese followed by the other members laughing.
** Another Music/MaximumTheHormone example. The end of "What's Up People!?" the second Manga/DeathNote opening. The singer screams "WHAT'S UP PEOPLE!?" about five times, then starts babbling something in Japanese which sounds like "I'M SORRY ABOUT THE BROKEN GLASS! AND THE TOILET AS WELL! WOAH! WE'RE IN TROUBLE! Cough cough..." This is already listed as a LastNoteNightmare as well.
* Music/{{XTC}}'s "Living Through Another Cuba" nearing in the latter half of the song Andy Partridge goes totally crazy and lyric start getting really weird until ending it with "Living through another Cu... BA!!" He screams the "BA!!" such emphasis, it could be a one syllable example of PunctuatedForEmphasis
** In XTC's side project, TheDukesOfStratosphear, their song "My Love Explodes" features a very unusual one. It's what sounds like a phone message, where the following is said by somebody with a Creator/WoodyAllen-imitating voice:
--> "That, was the most... obsceeenne...Abominatiiooon! Of a song that I- that I- That trash, that is - that is filth, that is dirt, What possessed you to write such a disgusting, degeneratized song as that? And I'm complimenting you by considering it a song..."
* Music/TheBeatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" has a StopAndGo segment, where the song returns with a weird minute of weird sound after the song, featuring John saying "Cranberry sauce!" (the {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s think it's "I buried Paul"). Another take featured in ''Anthology'' goes "I'm very bored", and Ringo plays an extended solo, at the end of which John can be heard saying, "All right, calm down, Ringo.")
** The StudioChatter featured in ''Music/LetItBe'' has some moments, such as John's childish voice after "Dig It", and "Get Back" featuring "I'd like to thank you all on behalf of ourselves and the group, and I hope we passed the audition."
** Whether it's funny or [[CarefulWithThatAxe startling]] is up to you: at the end of "Helter Skelter", Ringo shouts out "I've got blisters on my fingers!". This is because the band had been working on the song for several hours in a row.
* In 8-bit Duane's Super Mario Land song, after a heartwarming verse about Princess Daisy, he ends the song with a belch.
* The end of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s main theme (written and performed by Music/{{Primus}}) ends with a fart. In the cartoon's intro, this sound plays when Mr. Hankey hits the South Park billboard.
** Same thing happened with Music/SexPistols' "EMI", which is also [[Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols the last song in the album]].
%% * Music/{{Wings}} cover of Music/TheBeatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
* "Life's Been Good", by Joe Walsh: "Uh-oh, here comes a flock of Wah-Wahs", followed by the sound of people going "wah-wah" like quacking ducks.
* "Family Reunion" by Music/{{Blink 182}} is already funny to begin with, but ends with "I Fucked Your Mom! And wanna suck your dad and my mommy too! oh, is this thing on?"
* In Music/{{Queen}}'s "One Vision", we get a very awesome and invigorating anthem full of ripping guitars, badass drum beats and complex harmonies (in typical Queen fashion)... and the last line is "just gimme, gimme, gimme FRIED CHICKEN!"
* If you turn up the volume at the end of "Don't Download This Song" (Music/WeirdAlYankovic's satire of Digital Piracy Is Evil) as it fades out, you can hear Al scream "JUST BUY IT! YOU CHEAP BASTARD!"
** The final note of "Albuquerque" is a horrendously off-key chord, followed by guitarist Jim West's audible laughter.
** As "Phony Calls" is fading out, if you turn up your speakers, you can hear Al sing "But you're just a pain in the a–" before the song completely cuts off.
* Mozart's Musical Joke ends with a horrendously off-key trumpet note.
* ThemCrookedVultures' "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" is a Hard Rock song that ends with a completely random tuba riff.
* AvenueQ's "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"
--> "She's my girlfriend // My wonderful girlfriend // Yes, I have a girlfriend, who lives in Canadaaaaa!"
--> [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday "And I can't wait to eat her pussy again!"]]
** [[{{Beat}} Beat.]] [[StunnedSilence Beat.]] [[OverlyLongGag Beat.]] [[MoneyMakingShot *orchestra hit*]]
*** Not as pronounced in the soundtrack, but onstage, not only the characters, but also their puppeteers, ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall the whole orchestra and the conductor]]'' stare slack-jawed in a seemingly endless awkward moment. Drives it home.
* Music/{{Supertramp}}'s "Asylum" ends with a faint cuckoo noise.
* Music/JethroTull's A Christmas Song: "'Ey, Santa, pass us that bottle, will ya?"
* "Kohle Metal", a remixed ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''-themed song by German Let's Player Gronkh, ends with the sound of a creeper being hit, accompanied by Gronkh laughing.
* "Miss You Much" by Music/JanetJackson. "That's the end?"
* Music/TheWho's "Happy Jack" at the end has Pete Townshend yell "I saw ya!". On one song from Live at Leeds, at the end he yells "Put away your girly magazines!" and Keith Moon replies "Sorry!".
** To clarify - during The Who's recording sessions, Keith Moon enjoyed ruining takes by making the other band members laugh. Because of this, while recording "Happy Jack" they banished Moon from the studio (there are reports that they tied him to a chair) and he made many attempts to sneak back in. Townshend's proclamation of "I saw ya!" is because he caught sight of Moon making one of these attempts.
* Inverted and overlapping with Studio Chatter with Humble Pie's "30 Days in the Hole" which begins with the lead vocalist starting both too soon and off pitch. The entire band to burst into laughter before starting the song proper.
* Sting's "Shadows in the Rain" (from the album ''The Dream of the Blue Turtles'') starts with a musician asking, "Wait! Wait! What key is it in?" The instrumental title track of the same album ends with background laughter apparently from one of the musicians.
* Music/{{Edguy}}'s ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RF6f6sws2g Catch of the Century]]'' ends with the vocalist going on a rant about all of the achievements and swag he's going to have in the future, while another band member tries to calm him down.
* French singer Renaud made a few over the years. One of his songs ends with "The studio is on fire, do I continue?". Another one ends with him talking to himself about how the song he just made is so great that it will top the chart. Then he goes on explaining that he will artificially make it top the chart by buying a lot of his own disk, then, as he is a best-seller, he will obviously get a huge media coverage and of course it will sell millions. Meanwhile, the overly long guitar solo still goes on, and he comments on the quality of the sound. He ends by announcing the next song, proclaiming he likes it because he dies at the end. Overall, the LastNoteHilarity is almost half as long as the actual song, and is a TakeThat to the music industry.
* The album version of "Sssnakepit" by Music/EnterShikari finishes with a low-pitched, wobbling "Yeahhh" sound, which guitarist Rory starts laughing at, saying it "Sounds like Louis Armstrong". The final drum beat continues with the band still giggling, before cutting the song off with another "Yeahhhh".
* In Citizen King's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLpYShTQWNk Better Days]], every chorus has a part where there's five notes that don't fit in with the rest of the song (those five notes wouldn't sound out of place in an old video game). At the end, an extended version of those five notes play without the chorus.
* The music video for Music/TheCardigans song "My Favorite Game" has four different uncensored endings. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBfvlICAQUU&list=FLv-BnS-ZS6N_nCLYcH49qig&index=85&feature=plpp_video Here is a link the music video with all four of the endings.]] All of these endings have the girl wrecking her car into a large van, and then a dummy (supposed to represent the girl) reacting to the crash. In order of the endings in the linked video, the first ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows the girl dead]]. The second ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows girl getting up before a rock comes in and bounces off her head and cartoonishly knocks her out]]. The third ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows girl walk away like it was only a mild car crash]]. The fourth ending [[spoiler:the dummy doesn't bounce over the van, but the dummy loses its head, it then shows a mannequin head (supposed to represent the girl's decapitated head) land on the road]].
** There is also a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsMUQK4jdsQ censored version]] of the music video with not only the final crash removed, but all of the other crazy things she does in the car are also removed.
*** Watching the censored version first then later watching one of the uncensored versions without knowing about the crash that happens at the end makes the trope even more effective.
* The Replacements' "Androgynous" ends with Paul Westerberg comically flubbing a note on the piano and abruptly stopping the song.
* Music/{{Goldfrapp}}'s remix of Music/MarilynManson's "This Is The New Shit", which could almost be considered more of a CoverVersion since Alison Goldfrapp sings most of the song herself: For the last 45 seconds or so, it suddenly switches from stomping electroclash to a mock-cabaret ballad, with Allison Goldfrapp adopting a Marlene Dietrich-esque German accent.
* [[TheAdventuresOfDuaneAndBrando Duane and Brando's]] VideoGame/DragonQuest song ends with the protagonist losing the final fight...and then Duane groans at getting a game over, while Brando does the audio equivalent of a FacePalm, to which Duane explains that he purposefully lost the final battle in order to end the song dramatically.
** Also, Duane's solo work, Action Adventure World, has his SuperMarioLand song end with a love song from Mario to Daisy, capping it off with a belch.
* The ending of the last song on Music/BruceDickinson's album Chemical Wedding, the Alchemist, is a long pause of over two minutes, and then a voice speaks about a 'vegetable world on his left foot that forms a sandal' -- [[LastNoteNightmare it can still scare listeners]].
* Music/{{Psychostick}}'s "Beer" is silly to begin with, but the ending takes the cake -- the music stops, but the singer goes on quietly, "I am drunk, drunk is me, I am drunk, wheeeee!"
* "One More Night" by Music/{{Maroon 5}} ends with Creator/AdamLevine nonchalantly saying "I don't know, whatever" and a scratching sound is heard.
* Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "Eat The Rich" is a fairly serious hard rocker that ends with... a loud belch. Appropriate, [[EatTheRich given the subject matter]].
* Music/TheSmiths' track "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" ends with lead singer Morrissey asking producer Stephen Street "Hey Stephen, can we do that again?"
* The Music/CountingCrows song "Hanginaround" ends with the band members singing like they've had a few too many drinks, and the piano going off on its own tangent.
* The hidden track on Music/MatchboxTwenty's ''More Than You Think You Are'' album ("So Sad So Lonely") ends with the band discussing how lame they thought that last track was. "I can't ''believe'' we spent so long on ''that''." "It's lame, man, it's LAME!"
* Alestorm's cover of You Are a Pirate ends with the softly spoken line "You are a pirate... ya gobshite".
* Music/SteveEarle: "Snake Oil" ends with "I knew there was a first-taker on this album somewhere".
* Music/{{Metallica}}'s version of "Blitzkrieg" ends with, in order, an atonal guitar squeal, someone belching loudly, someone giggling, and Lars informing everyone that he "fucked up in one place."
* The Music/KingCrimson song "Indoor Games" ends with vocalist Gordon Haskell [[{{Corpsing}} breaking into fits of laughter]] because of the strange lyrics.
* Music/GirlsAloud's "Live in the Country" ends with a gaggle of pigs squealing and other assorted animal noises, including a ''lion roaring''.
* Music/CledusTJudd, a CountryMusic parodist, does this frequently:
** On "Please Take the Girl" (Music/TimMcGraw's "Don't Take the Girl"): "Is it [=Tim McGraw=] or John Anderson I'm trying to imitate?"
** He deliberately mangles the last note on "Skoal (The Grundy County Spittin' Incident)" (Music/JohnMichaelMontgomery's "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)"), then exclaims, "That was horrible!"
** "Cledus Went Down to Florida" ("The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band) ends on ShaveAndAHaircut.
** "How Do You Milk a Cow" ("How Do You Like Me Now?!" by Music/TobyKeith) ends with the last notes of the ''Series/GreenAcres'' theme.
** "Just Another Day in Parodies" ("Just Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Vassar) ends with a few bars of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer".
** "My Voice" ("One Voice" by Billy Gilman), which artificially deepens his voice at the end, has the song end with the "oom papa mow mow" from "Elvira" by Music/TheOakRidgeBoys.
** "Tree's on Fire" (Music/JohnnyCash's "Ring of Fire") ends with the "Smoke on the Water" riff.
** "Man of Constant Borrow" ("I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" by [[Film/OBrotherWhereArtThou The Soggy Bottom Boys]]) ends with Diamond Rio's backing vocal getting the BrokenRecord treatment.
** The guitar riff at the end of "Hell No" keeps going higher and higher and higher, exaggerating the actual riff of the source song ("Hell Yeah" by Montgomery Gentry).
* Music/RelientK's "Mood Rings" ends with a rather awkward attempt at a final lyric, followed by Matt commenting [[SelfDeprecation "...Huh. That was terrible."]]
* "The Greatest Show On Earth", by Music/{{Nightwish}}, is given an instrumental in the deluxe version. The "Narrator", which commented the normal version of the album, shows up one more time at the end of the [[EpicRocking 24 minute long song]].
--> "It may not occur to some people that a man would just want to write a piece of music!"
* Late Of The Pier's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w36ox3U2UVE "VW"]] ends with the band shouting random phrases like "Cabbage!" and "Can you smell snacks?"
* Music/LemonDemon's ''Knife Fight''. Most of the song is an intense and serious (well, as serious as a Lemon Demon song can be, anyway) buildup to the actual fight between the two singers, until the climax, when both singers back out after remembering that [[CaptainObvious knives can hurt you]] [[AndThatsTerrible and are bad]] and decide to have a ''tickle'' fight instead. The rest of the song is a lighthearted ukelele ditty about how much fun tickle fighting is.
* Inverted in Next's "Too Close", which begins with the singer musing "I wonder if she can tell I'm hard right now? Hmm..." Well, it sets the tone for the song, at least...
* Music/SteelyDan's "Jack of Speed" from the album ''Two Against Nature'' is a typical Dan groove-fest. When they performed it for the DVD, they couldn't do their usual long fadeout. Instead, it ends with a bizarrely out-of-place Shave-and-a-Haircut sting.
* In Music/TheYardbirds' unreleased track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3mG3hTwqvY "Spanish Blood"]] (from the compilation ''Cumular Limit''), drummer Jim [=McCarty=] deadpans the words "that was the wrong fucking verse" right after speaking the song's final verse.
* PrinceWhateverer's song "Destabilize" ends with him screaming "SET PHASERS TO HUG!" and laughing afterwards.
* Music/IronMaiden's "The Thin Line Between Love and Hate" ends with [[FunPersonified drummer Nicko McBrain]] saying "Aw, fucking missed it!" and having a brief argument with the producer regarding said missed beat.
* Music/LedZeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" has, right before the song ends, John Bonham coughing and Robert Plant saying "Cough!" in response.
* Brazilian comedy rock band Mamonas Assassinas ended their CountryMusic parody [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0ydIlPTL2s "Bois Don't Cry"]] ("Bois" being Portuguese for bulls, as in CuckoldHorns) with the famous five tone sequence of ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''.
** Also from Brazil, Raul Seixas [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1bcQK3buqM ended a mock]] ConceptAlbum by [[BookEnds returning to the circus fanfare that opened it]] - only with the audience loudly booing - followed by a toilet flushing.
* Jim Morrison was the lone holdout from Music/TheDoors on an offer by Buick to license "Light My Fire" for a car ad. He would ridicule the rest of the band members for this by singing "Stron-ger-Than-Dirt!!" over the last four brass notes of the album version of "Touch Me" from ''The Soft Parade'', a reference to cleaner company Ajax's slogan.[[note]]Which, oddly enough, would lead to the band having to pay Ajax in a copyright lawsuit later on[[/note]]. The words were mixed out of the single version, though.

[[AC: {{Film}}]]
* Done in-universe in ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'' during the kids' first rendition of "So Long, Farewell" as Kurt's line finishes with an impossibly (for him) high note that is actually being sung by one of the girls behind him.
* Some [=AMC=] Theatres play an end bumper after the film has run its course. One of these bumpers features a red sphere dressed up in a white towel whistling while moving to the right, before gasping and running away--the sphere eventually picks up the towel and puts it back on. A female announcer remarks that you're "our kind of people" and that you should join [=AMC=] Stubs, before yelling "Now GO HOME already!".

[[AC: {{LiveActionTV}}]]
* In an episode of ''Series/QuantumLeap'' Sam leaps into a concert pianist playing Carnegie Hall just after the final note, but the audience is demanding an encore. Sam plays the only song he knows: Chopsticks.
* Both ''Series/{{Lost}}'' and ''Series/TheXFiles'' follows ominous credits music with hilarious\adorable {{Vanity Plate}}s, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTcY-INhFwg "BAD ROBOT!"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6va9B9DNX5I "I've made this!"]].

[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* Nearing the end of [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Cristina Vee]]'s version of "Let Me Be With You" the Manga/{{Chobits}} opening, everything is normal - except in the background, Cristina can be heard saying in absolute monotone: "Underpants."
* ''Website/CollegeHumor'' is fond of this trope. See for instance [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPeTfeFALk Awkward Rap]]. Several other songs end in similar ways.
* An [[TheLonelyIsland I'm on a Boat]] [[MemeticMutation Parody]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06kDBBNylAQ "I Found a Dog"]] the song is about a guy who was lonely and found a dog who can literally do anything. However, this turns out to be more about the guy's personal issues rather than the actual dog, and eventually gets completely off point. (the video description includes the lyrics)
-->Lead Singer:[[spoiler: I miss my dad!]]
-->[[spoiler: I miss my dad!]]
-->[[spoiler: I wish he was around so I wouldn't be so sad!]]
-->T-Pain:[[spoiler: Daddy! Daddy! Yeah Yeah Yeah.]]
* "Guilty By Association" by Music/SteveTaylor is kind of a goofy track in general, and ends with the band sort of messing around while Steve intones "I think it's gonna be a big, big hit," in a very dry way. The lyrics of the song pick a fight with a certain televangelist, and one gets the idea he was getting ready for the worst...
** Similar screwing around characterizes "Am I In Sync?" which ends with Steve arguing with his synthesizer artist in a very meta way. "I hear Bowie is doing this on his next album" indeed.
* In part seven of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick and [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] have to infiltrate [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Zod's]] spaceship by posing as two friends from Krypton. They're trying to distract him so WebVideo/{{Marzgurl}} and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] can take the ship and Chick and Oancitizen do this by singing the 1983 Kryptonian hit single, [[EarWorm "Distraction"]] with Zod. Only problem? Oancitizen ''really'' wants to sing, but he's playing mute and doing so would blow his and Chick's cover. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent He spends most of the song trying wrest the microphone out of Chick's hand]], and then cuts in on the last note (his voice lives up to the hype) giving them away.
-->'''Zod''': Destroy that ''fantastic'' tenor!

[[AC: {{WesternAnimation}}]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', the song "Giant Woman" ends with a goat bleating. ItMakesSenseInContext.

* The album version of "Sssnakepit" by EnterShikari finishes with a low-pitched, wobbling "Yeahhh" sound, which guitarist Rory starts laughing at, saying it "Sounds like Louis Armstrong". The final drum beat continues with the band still giggling, before cutting the song off with another "Yeahhhh".

* Music/{{AC/DC}}'s "Night Prowler" ends with Bon Scott saying [[Series/MorkAndMindy "Shazbot. Nanu nanu."]]

* D12's song "My Band" ends with the beat switching to a Latina-inspired melody and style, with {{Eminem}} rapping over it about his "salsa", plugging a (fictional) single called "My Salsa".

* Family Reunion by Music/{{Blink 182}} is already funny to begin with, but ends with "I Fucked Your Mom! And wanna suck your dad and my mommy too! oh, is this thing on?"

* [[Music/SteelyDan Steely Dan]]'s "Jack of Speed" from the album ''Two Against Nature'' is a typical Dan groove-fest. When they performed it for the DVD, they couldn't do their usual long fadeout. Instead, it ends with a bizarrely out-of-place Shave-and-a-Haircut sting.

* ''Series/{{Lost}}'' always ends with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTcY-INhFwg ominous credits music]]... followed by the hilarious\adorable VanityPlate "BAD ROBOT!"

* TheBeatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" has a StopAndGo segment, where the song returns with a weird minute of weird sound after the song, featuring John saying "Cranberry sauce!" (the {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s think it's "I buried Paul"). Another take featured in ''Anthology'' goes "I'm very bored", and Ringo plays an extended solo, at the end of which John can be heard saying, "All right, calm down, Ringo.")

* Jim Morrison was the lone holdout from TheDoors on an offer by Buick to license "Light My Fire" for a car ad. He would ridicule the rest of the band members for this by singing "Stron-ger-Than-Dirt!!" over the last four brass notes of the album version of "Touch Me" from ''The Soft Parade'', a reference to cleaner company Ajax's slogan.[[note]]Which, oddly enough, would lead to the band having to pay Ajax in a copyright lawsuit later on[[/note]]. The words were mixed out of the single version, though.

* If you turn up the volume at the end of "Don't Download This Song" (Weird Al Yankovic's satire of Digital Piracy Is Evil) as it fades out, you can hear Al scream "JUST BUY IT! YOU CHEAP BASTARD!"

* Avenue Q's "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada"

* Sting's "Shadows in the Rain" (from the album The Dream of the Blue Turtles) starts with a musician asking, "Wait! Wait! What key is it in?" The instrumental title track of the same album ends with background laughter apparently from one of the musicians.

* {{XTC}}'s "Living Through Another Cuba" nearing in the latter half of the song Andy Partridge goes totally crazy and lyric start getting really weird until ending it with "Living through another Cu... BA!!" He screams the "BA!!" such emphasis, it could be a one syllable example of PunctuatedForEmphasis

* MaximumTheHormone's "Koi No Megalover" is easily the coolest song ever written. Then at the end, one of the member screams something in Japanese followed by the other members laughing.
** Another MaximumTheHormone example. The end of "What's Up People!?" the second Manga/DeathNote opening. The singer screams "WHAT'S UP PEOPLE!?" about five times, then starts babbling something in Japanese which sounds like "I'M SORRY ABOUT THE BROKEN GLASS! AND THE TOILET AS WELL! WOAH! WE'RE IN TROUBLE! Cough cough..." This is already listed as a LastNoteNightmare as well.

** "Library Pictures" has one in the BEGINNING where lead singer Alex says "I'm in a vest".

* ''Series/{{Lost}}'' always ends with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTcY-INhFwg ominous credits music]]... followed by the hilarious\hilarious VanityPlate "BAD ROBOT!"

* [[Music/AcDc AC/DC]]'s "Night Prowler" ends with Bon Scott saying [[Series/MorkAndMindy "Shazbot. Nanu nanu."]]

* "Strawberry Fields Forever": there's a weird minute of weird sound after the song, where some people think they can hear John saying "I buried Paul" but officially he's saying "Cranberry sauce."
** Closer observation on the ''Anthology'' compilation (volume 2, the take 7 cut) shows John saying "I'm very bored."
** From the same track: Ringo plays an extended solo, at the end of which John can be heard saying, "All right, calm down, Ringo."
* "Get Back": "I'd like to thank you all on behalf of ourselves and the group, and I hope we passed the audition."
* At the end of the Beatles song "Helter Skelter", Ringo shouts out "I've got blisters on my fingers!". This is because the band had been working on the song for several hours in a row.

* Them Crooked Vultures' Mind Eraser, No Chaser (a Hard Rock Song) ends with a completely random tuba riff.

* Supertramp's Asylum ends with a faint cuckoo noise.

* The music video for The Cardigans song "My Favorite Game" has four different uncensored endings. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBfvlICAQUU&list=FLv-BnS-ZS6N_nCLYcH49qig&index=85&feature=plpp_video Here is a link the music video with all four of the endings.]] All of these endings have the girl wrecking her car into a large van, and then a dummy (supposed to represent the girl) reacting to the crash. In order of the endings in the linked video, the first ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows the girl dead]]. The second ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows girl getting up before a rock comes in and bounces off her head and cartoonishly knocks her out]]. The third ending [[spoiler:shows the dummy bounce over the van, and then it shows girl walk away like it was only a mild car crash]]. The fourth ending [[spoiler:the dummy doesn't bounce over the van, but the dummy loses its head, it then shows a mannequin head (supposed to represent the girl's decapitated head) land on the road]].

* Music/{{Metallica}}'s version of "Blitzkrieg" ends with, in order, an atonal guitar squeal, someone belching loudly, someone giggling, and Lars informing everyone that he, "[[spoiler:fucked]] up in one place."

* [[Music/LemonDemon Lemon Demon's]] ''Knife Fight''. Most of the song is an intense and serious (well, as serious as a Lemon Demon song can be, anyway) buildup to the actual fight between the two singers, until the climax, when both singers back out after remembering that [[CaptainObvious knives can hurt you]] [[AndThatsTerrible and are bad]] and decide to have a ''tickle'' fight instead. The rest of the song is a lighthearted ukelele ditty about how much fun tickle fighting is.

* Music/LiquidTensionExperiment's "When the Water Break" is a serious ProgressiveRock instrumental throughout most of its nearly 17 minute run. The last minute or so, however, is a quirky honky-tonk piano solo.
