Line 8:
 
A common variation is for the iris to almost close, then pop back open a little to either continue the cartoon or for one last gag before the iris finally closes altogether. In some cases, a character will snatch the borders of the iris and hold it open to escape or rant.

** Then, in Episode 8, Wario throws Waluigi at the Sky Pop Mark II in an attempt to steal Mario and the gang's Chaos Emeralds. Waluigi stops just short and does a Wile E. Coyote-esque fall. After he lands, we cut to a stunned-nearly-speechless Wario, and the same thing happens as in the Episode 7 scene, but with a "W" emblem.
* In the original [[JibJab]] video "This Land", George W. Bush grabs the iris at the end to mention Cheney.
 
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==

* A Walter Lantz short from the ''[[Woody Woodpecker]]'' family ended with the shrinking iris ''decapitating'' the character. But it was [[Played for Laughs]].
* ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'' had a ''heart-shaped'' Iris out in Harlequinade., which is The only example of one in the entire [[Diniverse]] toons.
* During an episode of ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' in which the characters got involved in a movie production, everyone started to argue about how to end the movie - The Diva wanted it to end on her face, another suggest a ride into the sunset - and Launchpad started to describe the Iris out as the perfect way to end it. Guess how they ended the episode?
* An episode of ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' ended with Batman standing behind Plastic Man and Woozy Winks as they [["Everybody Laughs" Ending|laughed at the way the case ended]].

* ''[[El Tigre the Adventures of Manny Rivera]]'' enjoys this trope a lot.
** In "A Fistful of Nickels", the cartoon ends with White Pantera and Puma Loco arguing over whether Manny will grow up to be a hero or a villain. The iris closes on Pantera shouting "Hero!", but it opens back up again on Puma Loco shouting "Villain!" before it closes for good.
** In "Oso Solo Mio", the Iris Out begins with a heart shaped Iris Out as El Oso begins walking away with his love, birds singing around them. The iris opens back up as the she-bear he loves runs away from him, and we realize the cartoon still has a couple minutes left.
* The best-known examples of Iris Out can be seen in various [[Looney Tunes|Warner Brothers cartoons,]], which were already [[Subverted Trope|subverting]] the [[Trope]] in the 1930s. One famous example is in many of Bob Clampett's cartoons, in which he created a vocal "Beeo-woop!" sound effect to accompany the iris out at the end.
** Like so many other tropes, this was played with in "[[Duck Amuck]]" where the Iris Out is used in the ''middle'' of the short in order to annoy [[Daffy Duck|Daffy]].
* The''[[Danny Phantom]]'' uses the Iris Out with some variations. In one of the early cartoons, the final shot was Danny, Sam and Tucker laughing, and there were three Iris Out shots used, one for each character. Other Frederator and Billionfold toons from [[Nickelodeon]] have some trademark ones as well.

* Most ''[[101 Dalmatians|101 Dalmatians: The Series]]'' episodes would end this way, usually with the standard circle. "Love `'em and Flea `'em" used a heart, as did "Swine Song" and "My Fair Moochie", while some used a star, like "Shake, Rattle, and Woof" and "Lucky All-Star". On a few occasions, the iris out was parodied by characters trying to keep the iris out open while trying to say something and other stuff.
* At the end of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' episode "Hog Wild", Billy gets caught in the iris, horrifically contorting his face until he slipsis pulled through the iris so it can close.
