History Main / ThankingTheViewer

** ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' [[InvokedTrope invokes this]] for the franchise's MilestoneCelebration with [[TheCameo appearances from]] [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters all 33 previous Cures]] [[note]] one Cure per episode in random order [[/note]] at the beginning of each episode.

[[caption-width-right:350: [-Well folks, I guess that's it. [[Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse Hey, this was really fun]], but it's time to {{wrap it up}}. I'd like to [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues thank you for doing your part. You sure are smart,]] [[Music/TheBeatles and I hope we've passed the audition!]] So until we meet again, stay young, [[Creator/{{Toonami}} and stay gold! Bang.]]-]]]

* At the end of ''VideoGame/HeavensVault'', an untranslated Ancient text is shown. [[GeniusBonus If you (the player, not the character) managed to master the language enoguh]], you can figure out its translation, which is roughly "thank you for playing".

ClosingCredits which among other thanks, thank the viewer for watching/reading/playing. Can address the viewer directly in second person ("Thanks to... YOU"), or refer to them in the third person ("Thanks to all our viewers/everyone who read my comic/etc.") Often seen as part of a work's GrandFinale, though it is not limited to such. It might also be an EveryEpisodeEnding, especially if the show uses FakeInteractivity. This is sometimes also the last element in SpecialThanks.

* The very final shot in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is [[http://img.imgcake.com/b8c1c8815219fbe74c930f5555d641f9ab.jpg this]] "Thank you for watching" artwork.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' famously used this at the end. It even addresses the player by their real name. Assuming that you didn't put in "BUTTS" or "Ness".
** In ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'', you are mentioned, by name, at the end of the credits, of course. Not only that, but at the end of the game, [[spoiler:everyone in the game thanks you, personally, for all that you did for them, assures you that [[EveryoneLives their world is going to be okay]], and hopes that your world is as good to you as you've been to them.]]

** The coral in World 9-4 of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels'' spells out "アリガトウ!" (''arigatou!'', "Thank you!"). Also, the GameOver screen if you die there, which appends "You're a super player! We hope we'll see you again. Mario and staff." below the usual message.
** The flipping tiles at the end of Special 8-Crown in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand''.

** Also, if you get all of the 120 stars in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', Yoshi appears on top of the castle, greeting Mario as an old friend. However, the end of his speech ends with "The Super Mario 64 Team", meaning that his message isn't entirely his own. But the later part of the speech has a lot of thanking.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'': towards the beginning of the game, [[AnyoneYouKnow you - the player - were asked to sign for a letter]]. At the very end of the credits, your signature appears.
** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': Thanks A Million

* [[PlayedForLaughs Played For]] [[SurrealHumor Surreal Laughs]] at the end of ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'', where [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a dancing alien from the TV at the beginning of the episode]] [[GainaxEnding breaks out of said TV and rapidly says "Hello, thank you for watching", while Charlie and Alan panic about it and argue about who should grab it]].

* The book adaptation of the ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' episode "Flying Flapjacks" ends with the line "Donkey was able to make a delicious batch of flying flapjacks with a little help from her friends...including you!". This is because the book utilized interactive pull tabs to help Donkey perform certain activities (like pouring milk and helping Duck Duck read the ingredients, for example).

* ''Music/LetItBe'', the last album released by ''Music/TheBeatles'' (though not the last recorded), features a remark uttered by Music/JohnLennon during their concert on the roof of the EMI Studeos:

** So does their 500th episode, which also asks viewers to get outside before going online to say the episode sucked.

* The cover of ''Manga/{{Dragonball}}'''s final volume is Goku flying in space, waving at the reader and saying [[ThankingTheViewer "THANK YOU! GOODBYE!!"]] (and Majin Buu's in a flying saucer, waving bye as well).

* Some of ''Franchise/PrettyCure'''s [[AlternateContinuity Alternate Continuities]] do this for its fans.

* Both ''ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool'' and ''Gwenpool Strikes Back'' end with Gwen thanking the readers for the support: the former with Gwen [[spoiler: about to start the loop of the final issue over, accepting that her story is done for now]], and the latter with her [spoiler:confident that she now has a future after spending the entire miniseries worried about editorial permanently retiring her character]].

* Each episode of ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' would end with Steve and/or Joe thanking the viewer for helping them play the game. When Steve goes off to college, he gives the audience a bigger thank-you for all their help across the series to date and asks them to [[PassingTheTorch continue to help Joe]].

* Every ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' episode ends with Steve (or Joe) thanking the audience for all their help that day before singing the "[[WrapUpSong So Long Song]]". At the end of ''Blue's Big Musical Movie'' and right before the credits, Blue holds up a sign reading "Thanks for coming to Blue's Big Musical" as she barks out "Thanks for coming!".

''Thank you for reading Wiki/TVTropes!''

* The self checkouts they have at stores will say "Thank you for shopping with us" when you finish using them. Also a lot of malla have a "Thank you for shopping with us" sign at the exit.
