* The DeveloperRoom ending of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' has one of the members of the development team ask "Do you want a Chrono Trigger sequel? YES/NO". [[VideoGame/ChronoCross A sequel was made]] some time later, with only a few members of the original team.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' features an in-universe example in "Into the Bunker". A list of [[TheresNoBInMovie B-movies]] in TheStinger includes both "Help! My Mummy's a Werewolf" and "Help! My Mummy's a Werewolf 2: This Again"
* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode 'The Chronicles of Meap', the ending features a promo for the next Meap episode, 'Meapless In Seattle'. Subverted in that, due to popular demand, they actually made 'Meapless In Seattle', which itself includes a promo for 'Meap Me In St. Louis'.

* ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'' ended with the announcement "Coming Soon from Creator/{{Paramount}} Pictures: Airplane III" followed by Creator/WilliamShatner saying "Wait! That's ''exactly'' what they'll expect us to do!"

* From Creator/WeirdAlYankovic's "Nature Trail To Hell":

* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' had a [[GainaxEnding bizarre ending with about 6 completely unforseen plot twists in the last 60 seconds]]. This was followed by a splash screen stating "TO BE CONTINUED IN SEASON 2!" Of course, there was no Season 2 planned, and like 95% of the show it was somewhere between outright parody and just [[TrollingCreator messing with the fans.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': "He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs", the first episode after ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'' ran in theaters, [[CouchGag had Bart writing, "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie."]]

* The DeveloperRoom ending of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' has one of the members of the development team ask "Do you want a Chrono Trigger sequel? YES/NO". Sadly a sequel was never made, although [[VideoGame/ChronoCross Square was nice enough to turn some fan-fiction created by junior developers into a game]] after the DreamTeam had moved on.

* The original ''Series/{{Jackass}}'' movie pulls out a final skit after the credits, hinting at a sequel dubbed ''Son of Jackass'', where the now-elderly cast runs a march of death while getting maimed and killed in increasingly gory ways. While there ''was'' a sequel, it wasn't called ''Son of Jackass''.
** Bam in the credits of Jackass 2 begs "Please, God, don't let there be a Jackass Three!" Sure enough...

** Turns out he wasn't.

* In the GameBoyAdvance [[UpdatedRerelease port]] of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'', after the Kongs jump overboard and King K. Rool sails off, SelfDemonstrating/CrankyKong the MetaGuy remarks, "Call that an ending? Looks like a cheap stunt setting up the story for the sequel!" In the Hero Mode ending, he tells Diddy, "You have really surpassed yourself! Who knows? Maybe you'll make the sequel."

* An odd case involves the ''ScaryMovie'' franchise. The TagLine of the first movie was "No mercy. No shame. No sequel.", but this didn't stop a sequel from being released the very next year (with the TagLine "[[ILied We Lied]]"). Similarly, the TagLine of ''Scary Movie 3'' ("[[ShapedLikeItself Great Trilogies Come in Threes]]") didn't stop a fourth ("The [[TrilogyCreep fourth and]] [[BlatantLies final]] [[TrilogyCreep chapter of the trilogy]]"), and fifth movie from being released.

* Characters from Creator/KevinSmith's movies will sometimes make jokes about sequels or about the type of films and the order they're made in: "No, first you do the safe picture, THEN you do the art picture, then sometimes you have to do the pay-back picture!" Cue characters casting [[AsideGlance a glance]] at the camera.

** In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' [[Creator/MelBrooks Yogurt]] jokes that he and Lone Starr will meet again in ''Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money'', as part of the movie's RunningGag about [[MerchandiseDriven merchandising]]. No sequel has been made, though an animated series had a short run in the mid 2000s.

* The final exchange of the film ''Film/GeekCharming'' is the two protagonists, Josh and Dylan, discussing whether or not Josh should make a sequel to his documentary. Dylan vetoes it because "[[{{Sequelitis sequels are never as good as the original.}}]]"

* The 100% completion ending of ''BanjoKazooie'' shows snapshots of the eponymous characters obtaining items inaccessible in the main game. When asked what they're for, Mumbo Jumbo tells them they'll have to wait for the sequel (which was made a few years later).
** Playing it straight, after defeating her in ''BanjoTooie'', Gruntilda exclaims that she'll have her revenge in 'Banjo-Threeie' ([[BanjoKazooieNutsAndBolts which wasn't made for nearly a decade]]).

* DoctorDetroit ends with the stinger "Doctor Detroit will return in Doctor Detroit 2: [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath Of Mom]]."

* Chris Tucker, in an outtake from ''[[RushHour RushHour 2]]'', upon seeing a bad guy plummet to his death, declares: "Damn! He ain't gonna be in ''Rush Hour 3!''"
