Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'' ends episodes with a live-action segment that discusses actual Go strategy.
* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' ends each episode with basic safety tips for beginning football players.
* ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka De|Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou]]'' has the [[Super -Deformed]] "Kotengu Classic" segments at the end of some episodes, with [[Small Annoying Creature|Ko]][[Sleep Mode Size|tengu]] explaining some facts about something specific mentioned in the episode -- sometimes these are quite useful, as the series takes place in the [[Jidai Geki|Heian Period Japan]] ([[Trapped in Another World|sorta]]), and knowing some basic facts about its culture certainly won't hurt.
** ''[[La Corda D Oro|La Corda d'Oro - Primo Passo]]'' does the same with "Lili's One-Point Classic" and music.
* ''[[Nyan Koi]]'' ends each episode with a segment called MewView, where the main character cats recap the episode in a humorous way, and then sign off with an "interesting fact" about cats.
Line 120 ⟶ 118:
* The ''[[Son of the Beach]]'' show attempted to parody this. Unfortunately, the parodies weren't funny.
* ''[[Eureka]]'' has a series of PSAs called ?Live Smart, Eureka? featured on the Season 2 DVD. They consist of reminding the really smart scientists that what they are doing could potentially be really dumb.
* ''The [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]] Show'' suffered from this phenomenon.
* ''[[Police Camera Action]]'' started doing from 2007 onwards at the end of the show. Even the episode ''Ultimate Pursuits'' had one, although that could be considered as [[The Parody|a parody]] of ''[[Back to The Future (Film)|Back to The Future]]'' (with the accompanying theme music). It's rare to see such things on a documentary...
* ''[[30 Rock (TV)|30 Rock]]''. At the end of the episode ''Gavin Velure'', Tracy's sex doll made a ''And Now You Know'' segment.
Line 179 ⟶ 177:
* Also parodied by ''[[Overcompensating]]'' [http://overcompensating.com/posts/20050809.html here].
* ''[[Scott Pilgrim (Comic Book)|Scott Pilgrim]]'': [http://www.scottpilgrim.com/index.php?id=previews Free Scott Pilgrim] ends with "Scott Pilgrim Says", where we are taught never to hit a girl. Unless it is an emergency. And that's what Scott Pilgrim says!
* Parodied by name, in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0145.html this] ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'', complete with a ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' [[Shout -Out]].
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' concludes every chapter with one of these.
* [http://theslackerz.com/index.php?nav=Comic&Page=106 The Slackerz] features G.I Derek: Magical Marine Pimp Supreme, a parody of [[G.I. Joe]] complete with [[Shout -Out]]
* ''[[Sam and Fuzzy]]'' parodied the good touch/bad touch "Sonic Sez" in [http://samandfuzzy.com/580 this strip.]
* Used in [http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=625 this] ''[[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|Brawl in The Family]]'' strip.
Line 238 ⟶ 236:
** In another episode, the wheel landed on [[Wheel of Fortune|Bankrupt]].
** In yet another episode they lampshade the whole purpose of the wheel of morality mandates from the FCC.
*** Of course, at the end of [[The Movie]] ''[[WakkosWakko's Wish (Film)|Wakkos Wish]]'', they finally got a real moral out of the wheel -- but given the film's goofy fairytale-ish nature, it was fitting. And also in song.
** This was also spoofed at the end of [[Power Rangers|Super Strong Warner Siblings]].

Line 248 ⟶ 246:
And now that our song is done we'll take a look! }}
* ''[[Clerks the Animated Series]]'' parodied this with a number of post-episode shorts, such as having Jay and Silent Bob present a ''[[Mr Wizard]]'' inspired magic-from-science segment. They showed a simple sleight-of-hand trick, with the twist that a key element of the trick required invoking the power of Satan.
** Making it better, the third segment didn't do much but have Charles Barkley try to do the segment, then Jay and Silent Bob kick the crap out of him ''[[The Godfather (Film)|Godfather]]''-style ([[Shout -Out|including the missed punch]]) and leave.
* Spoofed in an episode of Disney's ''[[Dave the Barbarian (Animation)|Dave the Barbarian]]''. "Remember, children, brush your teeth every night or evil tooth decay goblins will move into your mouth and play loud polka music all day! And remember, STAY IN SCHOOL!!"
* ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' has subverted and parodied this in various ways.
