* ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' - Wilbur's fate.

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', we actually get to see Chicken Little and his father Buck Cluck in the movie theater one last time. Unfortunately, this was removed from the DVD version of the film (it is a theater-exclusive bonus scene), but it can be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQGQnjUzRAE seen here]].

* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' subverted this trope every way possible. Some earlier episodes ended with an additional stinger pertaining to a previous sketch (such as Karl Marx and Che Guevara enjoying the afterglow), or a non-sequitur(an explosion followed by Michael Palin saying, "And then...") or an entirely different sketch("The Argument Clinic"). One show displayed the closing credits immediately after the opening credits and then did the show, making the ''entire show'' the stinger. Even the first few episodes of Season One, which adhered more closely to the norm, featured narrative stingers that dealt with the show("And the final score for 'The Epilogue'; God exists by two falls to a submission.")

* In ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko'', watching through the credits reveals that [[spoiler:Chikane, who [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed her life for Himeko]]'s in the GrandFinale, is indeed reborn and meets Himeko at an unspecified time later]].
* Some of the ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' movies had them:
** Episode 1 had a minor conversation between Azaka and Touko concerning Kirie Fujyou.
** Episode 2 had [[spoiler:a foreshadowing of Asagami Fujino and Shirazumi Lio's appearances.]]
** Episode 4 [[spoiler:showed how Asagami Fujino and Fujyou Kirie got their abilities.]]
** Episode 5 had a minor conversation between Shiki and Mikiya discussing the aftermath of the events.
** Episode 6 had [[spoiler:Araya Souren awakening Shirazumi Lio's origin.]]
** Episode 7 had [[spoiler:an epilogue showing Shiki and Mikiya walking together after Shiki got out of the hospital.]]
* The ending credits to the anime ''L/R: Licensed By Royalty'' shows Jack and Rowe driving off on another assignment after [[spoiler:Rowe was supposedly killed by the revenge-seeking son of the BigBad.]]
* The ''Spring'' and ''Summer'' {{OVA}}s of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' throw in one last joke regarding a seemingly dropped side plot after the credits. The former has the {{Chupacabra}} some of the cast were hunting watching their plane fly away while the latter shows Asuna's last attempt to fend off [[MadScientist Hakase's]] out-of-control bathing robot.

* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia''

* ''FanFic/YouGotHaruhiRolled'' always ends each chapter with an exhortation by the author to review the story. The original Stinger was "Review, Haruhi-worshippers! Your yellow ribbon-wearing goddess demands it!" Beginning in Chapter 56 this was altered to "Review, Haruhi-worshippers! Your yellow-ribboned, headband-wearing goddess demands it!" in response to a reviewer correcting the writer on Haruhi's IconicOutfit. Starting in Chapter 85, he changes it to the more natural-sounding, "Review, Haruhi-worshippers! Your goddess with the yellow headband and ribbons demands it!" The author has since said that he intends to change the stingers on the previous chapters to the newer ones, but has not yet done so.

* ''Anime/AngelBeats'': After the credits, [[spoiler:there is a brief scene where Yuzuru passes Kanade in a busy street, they both apparently having been reborn, and recognizes her by the song she is humming (My Song). He then turns around and runs after her, reaching out to try and touch her as the screen fades to white.]] Much rage among fans occurred due to this totally ruining the [[BittersweetEnding actual ending before the credits]].

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has a stinger every episode but it's almost always just a replay of whatever song was featured in the episode, though sometimes it's played for laughs by playing a completely original song based on a joke earlier in the episode such as "You're Rusted" from the episode "The Wizard of Odd" though in "The Chronicles of Meap" they used a more common Stinger which was a hook for a continuation episode called "Meapless in Seattle" (Which was a joke) but fans wanted it so badly that the writers actually made the episode.

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', we actually get to see Chicken Little and his father Buck Cluck in the movie theater one last time. Unfortunately, this was removed from the DVD version of the film (it is a theater-exclusive bonus scene).

* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' follows the ending credits with the title character replacing the burnt out bulb of the lamp taking the place of the I in the Creator/{{Pixar}} [[VanityPlate logo]], and then he replaces the R after knocking it down. Uniquely, this was only added on the DVD release and also recycled from a trailer. An additional one occurs immediately afterwards. The "[=BnL=]" logo appears complete with the "[=BnL=]" jingle.

* At the end of the first Literature/MagnusChaseandtheGodsofAsgard book, there's PerspectiveFlip which shows us that [[spoiler: Magnus's uncle Randolph was working with Loki the whole time, and that the god's the BigBad.]]

* Creator/RoadshowHomeVideo

* Following his return from the dead in ''ComicBook/MarvelLegacy'' #1, {{ComicBook/Wolverine}} was featured in one-page stingers that came after the letters page of numerous comics. The issues that featured the stinger included a "Where's Wolverine?" badge with Logan's face in it.

** ''Throne of Atlantis'' saw Lex Luthor approach a captured Orm, though this became an AbortedArc since while Luthor's returned, Orm didn't.

* ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}''

* In ''Anime/TamagotchiTheMovie'', there is a scene after the end credits where Tanpopo finds her Tamagotchi toy in a box in her room, which surprises her since she had left it on Tamagotchi Planet. She finds Mametchi and Chamametchi communicating with her through it, with Mametchi explaining he was the one who sent the toy back. Tanpopo responds to them, mentioning she'd love for them to see her little brother some day.

* Trope2000

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'', [[spoiler: Tamatoa, the giant coconut crab, is [[BrickJoke still stuck on his back]] from when Maui reclaimed his fishhook earlier in the movie. He then [[BreakingTheFourthWall complains to the audience]] if he was [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid named Sebastian and had a Jamaican accent]], they would want to help him.]]

A name for any [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene post-credits scene]]. It's often used as a type of {{Easter Egg}} for people who stick around for the credits when most people had left the theater/changed the channel. Sometimes a comedy will include outtakes. Sometimes the outtakes can be better than the movie.
