History Main / TheStinger

* Not in every episode, but ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' will sometimes have one after the credits roll, usually related to the current storyline. The ones during the storyline with [[EldritchAbomination The Entity]] tended to be NightmareFuel

AllThereInTheStinger is a sub-trope. Compare SigningOffCatchPhrase. See also TheTag. Not to be confused with a musical {{Sting}}, though a suitably dramatic Stinger will have a Sting. TheTeaser works at the ''opposite'' end. See OnTheNext for when there's a preview of the next episode. Also not to be confused with the body part on the back of a bee, scorpion, or wasp. Or a boxing glove wrapped in barbed wire.

A name for any [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene post-credits scene]]. It's often used as a type of EasterEgg 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.

* ''Podcast/UnwellPodcast'': Several episodes have an extra scene after the credits, and most episodes have a fact about Mount Absalom.

* A few WebAnimation/YouTubePoop videos show things at the end, such as subliminal messages/images or a "CUT-OFF PREVENTION" blurb ([=YouTube=] is known for frequently cutting off half a second of video, maybe more depending on the length). Steg often shows a clip at the end of his videos showing Big Bird saying, "Coming soon on Sesame Street!" and then cutting to something completely unrelated, while Big Bird finishes off with "Toodle-oo!"

* Many recent WebVideo/CinemaSins videos have these, and they enter WebAnimation/YouTubePoop territory. They ''do'' include footage from the movie that is being sinned, though.

* ''Literature/FallingUp'' by Creator/ShelSilverstein: The back inside cover has a short handwritten poem telling the reader that they've reached the end and warning them of trying to look for more in the book's binding, lest they vanish within. It is accompanied by an illustration of a pair of legs sticking out of the binding.

* ''Literature/FallingUp'' by Creator/ShelSilverstein: The back inside cover has a short handwritten poem telling the reader that they've reached the end and warning them of trying to look for more in the book's binding, lest they get sucked in. It is accompanied by an illustration of a pair of legs sticking out of the binding.

* Several novels in the ''Literature/TheCulture'' series end with an epilogue which is generally humorous/uplifting even if the end of the novel proper was {{bittersweet|Ending}} and/or followed Banks's [[KillEmAll "trademark"]]. One notable exception to this pattern is ''Look to Windward'', whose epilogue depicts a shape-shifting Culture assassin taking horrific revenge on the Chelgrians who had orchestrated the foiled terrorist plot by torturing them to death in terrifyingly sadistic ways. For example, it turns into a swarm of bees to suffocate one of them. It also makes sure that the attacks are recorded, so that the rest of the Chelgrians get the message. Bearing in mind that the plotters are ''unarmed monks'', this is quite a departure in tone for a novel that is not generally either scary or action-packed, and which portrays the Culture almost exclusively favourably up to this point.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Season 3 -- at the end of the credits on the DVD Vic appears, saying, "I understand you're enjoying the sweet music and all, but the DVD's over. Go home, dude, live your life."

* CluckingFunny

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''

* At the end of a ''[[Comicbook/ThePunisherMAX Punisher Max]]'' story arc Wilson Fisk has become the Kingpin (at the cost of his son's life and his wife's sanity) and orders everyone away so he can enjoy it. But one person won't leave.

* At the end of the first Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard book, there's PerspectiveFlip which shows us that Magnus's uncle Randolph was working with Loki the whole time, and that the god's the BigBad.
* Daniel Silva's Literature/GabrielAllon novels tend to have epilogue's in which Mossad tracks down and assassinates any villain who escaped by the end of the novel proper (e.g. in one case, a character who had planned explosions is himself mailed a bomb which [[KarmicDeath kills him]].

* ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'': Almost all of the radio episodes followed the FindOutNextTime narration with an announcer delivering either a brief advertisement for some in-universe publication/product or a mock advisory warning. A few episodes also had a main character coming back to say one more thing, e.g. Zaphod noticing the fairy cake in the Total Perspective Vortex and eating it.

* WebOriginal/{{Chrontendo}} has had a few of these, starting from chrontendo episode 32 onwards and finishing with chrontendo epsode 38 (with the exception of chrontendo epsode 37). It was usually a fragment of a TV Show, Film or Music track that he was talking about in the episode itself.

* ''WebVideo/TheBritishRailwayStories'': Episode 14, Silent Night, had a scene after the end credits of Hawk pulling a train back to the Western Region of British Rail. It was then followed by text stating that [=GWR=] Class 94xx No. 9400, aka Hawk, is now preserved at the [=STEAM=] Museum.

* In ''Webcomic/{{TREVOR}}'', after the credits are over, the last shot of the comic is of the early dawn sky, through the windows of the doors at the entrance to the medical facility. The only reminder of the carnage that took place earlier that night is [[spoiler: Dr. Maddison’s]] severed hand on the floor.
