Line 123:
* In the 1990s, when cartoons were shown as part of Saturday morning programmes on both [[The BBC]] and [[ITV]], the credits would either be squashed or cut (or in the case of ''[[Road Rovers]]'' accelerated - usually; they were left intact at least once). The worst example was ''[[Animaniacs]]'', when ITV would lop off ''most'' of the end credits except for [[Steven Spielberg]]'s and then have [[The Stinger]]... fortunately, most of them were eventually shown in their own slots.
* Hilariously parodied in ''[[The Chaser's War on Everything]]'' when Andrew begins singing a song to take the show out
{{quote|
And every gig I score I give a promise to them
I say I'll write it catchy and not too long,
But they always run credits over my songs.
Oh, all I want is my face on TV
But they're always rolling text over me.
And now I'll probably be squished into a corner, no doubt,
So the bloody voiceover can drown me out. }}
** As a promo for ''[[The Einstein Factor]]'' begins, Andrew begins yelling profanely at the producers.
Line 137:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Spoofed in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode ''[[Time Chasers]]": During the credits of the movie the main characters are watching, [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Observer (AKA Brain Guy)]] uses his omnipotent psychic powers to squeeze the whole screen over so he can parody this kind of advertising ads. You can even hear Mike and the 'Bots reacting to what he says.

** The gag gets interrupted when [[Mad Scientist|Pearl]] yells at Brain Guy, causing him to get down on himself and call it a stupid joke. The guys remark on how hard he's being on himself and say the gag was [[Actually Pretty Funny]]. Servo adds that he'd like to see ''Which is Witch?'': "It sounds like must see TV! I MUST see it, dammit, I MUST!"
* Ernie tried to do this at the end of the 1969 preview special ''This Way to [[Sesame Street]]'' when he didn't want the show to end.

== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 150:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* From ''[[Stroker and Hoop]]'', after finishing a guest star role as a reward for saving a rapper's career:
{{quote|
* An episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' where Bart works on Krusty's show has a scene with all of Bart's friends and a bunch of his classmates watching the credits intently for Bart's name. Unfortunately, the credits get squashed to illegibility by a promo for the news. Nelson punches Bart for supposedly "taking credit for other people's work".
