▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The anime adaptation of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' uses this as a [[Running Gag]] with the phrase "To Be Continued... maybe..."
== [[Film]] ==
* Very common in the films of [[Mel Brooks]]:
** Even the ''title'' of ''[[History of the World Part One]]'' implies a sequel, and they do "previews" to Part Two (including "Hitler On Ice!!!"), but it's clear they don't mean to make one.
** The rapping [[Greek Chorus]] in ''[[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]]'' jokes about reappearing in ''Robin Hood 2''. No sequel has been announced.
** In ''[[Spaceballs]]'' [[Mel Brooks|Yogurt]] jokes that he and Lone Starr will meet again in ''Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money'', as part of the movie's [[Running Gag]] about [[Merchandise-Driven|merchandising]]. No sequel has been made, though an animated series had a short run in the mid 2000s
* Characters from [[Kevin Smith]]'s movies will sometimes make jokes about sequels or about the type of films and the order they're made in: "No, first you do the safe picture, THEN you do the art picture, then sometimes you have to do the pay-back picture!" Cue characters casting [[Aside Glance|a glance]] at the camera.
* In the sports movie parody ''The Comebacks'' after winning the climactic football game and vowing to leave the sport forever, the main character is offered a job coaching basketball at "Sequel University". There have been no plans to make a sequel to ''The Combacks'', and considering its [[Shallow Parody|quality]], that's probably a good thing.
* ''[[I'm Gonna Git You Sucka]]'': During the climax Mr. Big acknowledges that his character is an exploitation villain in a movie.
{{quote|'''Mr. Big:''' I'm sorry, boys, but there ain't gonna be a sequel to this one.}}
* The original ''[[Jackass]]'' movie pulls out a final skit after the credits, hinting at a sequel dubbed "Son of Jackass" jackass, where the now-elderly cast runs a march of death while getting maimed and killed in increasingly gory ways. While there ''was'' a sequel, it wasn't called ''Son of Jackass''.
** Bam in the credits of Jackass 2 begs "Please, God, don't let there be a Jackass Three!]] Sure enough...
* ''[[
* ''[[Mac and Me]]'' ends with a promise that "We'll be back!" Oh, no [[Stillborn Franchise|you won't.]]
* Chris Tucker, in an outtake from ''[[Rush Hour|RushHour 2]]'', upon seeing a bad guy plummet to his death, declares: "Damn! He ain't gonna be in ''Rush Hour 3!''"
** Turns out he wasn't.
* An odd case involves the ''[[Scary Movie]]'' franchise. The [[Tagline]] of the first movie was "No mercy. No shame. No sequel.", but this didn't stop a sequel from being released the very next year (with the [[Tagline]] "[[I Lied|We Lied]]"). Similarly, the [[Tagline]] of ''Scary Movie 3'' ("[[Captain Obvious|Great Trilogies Come in Threes]]") didn't stop a fourth, (and upcoming fifth) movie from being released.
Line 36:
** Playing it straight, after defeating her in ''[[Banjo Tooie]]'', Gruntilda exclaims that she'll have her revenge in 'Banjo-Threeie' (which wasn't made).
* In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Video Game Remake|remake]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', after the Kongs jump overboard and King K. Rool sails off, [[Meta Guy|Cranky]] remarks, "Call that an ending? Looks like a cheap stunt setting up the story for the sequel!" In the Hero Mode ending, he tells Diddy, "You have really surpassed yourself! Who knows? Maybe you'll make the sequel."
* In ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'', Duke meets on a dying character and merrily quips that he won't be in the sequel. Time will show if this trope applies.
* ''[[
* In ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'' one of the [[Interface Screw|insanity effects]] was an advert for a sequal appearing, implying that the game was over.
* The ''[[Monkey Island]]'' games made a [[Running Gag]] out of referring to the franchise as having five games, even when there were only three or four. This became a [[Noodle Incident]] in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island|Tales]]'', which apparently skipped it over.
* The very last line in ''[[No More Heroes]]'' is Sylvia [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] the [[Gainax Ending|bizarre ending of the game]] with "Too bad there won't be a sequel!" This, of course, turned out to be [[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle|a lie]].
* ''[[Rayman|Rayman 3]]'', Murfy leaves saying that he'll see us in ''Rayman 4''. As of this writing, there has not been a game titled ''Rayman 4'', or, indeed, ''any'' true sequel to ''Rayman 3''.
