In a nutshell, this is telling the audience the show is truly over. They can either wait for the next attraction or go home if that was the final one.
Line 9:
Often presented as [[The Stinger]], but other times it's a stock message.
If they do it often enough, it's an [[Every Episode Ending]] or [[Couch Gag]]. In modern times, [[Vanity Plate
Named for the line at the end of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts, that at some point was given to Porky Pig to say. (Which is why most usage of this particular line is rendered "[[Speech Impediment|Th-th-that's]] all, folks!")

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==▼
▲== Anime ==
* The ending theme for ''[[Nerima Daikon Brothers]]'' is basically summed up as "Yeah, it matters to our characters, but we're just actors. Thanks for buying the DVD so we can get beer. Now watch the next episode!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiW8MZi8MbA&feature=related You can hear the dub version here].
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'': The characters do this and even apologize for saying fuck so much.
* ''[[Ferris Bueller's
** Considering people were lured to stay through the credits because of Rooney's bus ride sequence, it can be considered a dirty trick on John Hughes' part.
** The same footage of Ferris Bueller was used at the end of ''She's Having A Baby''.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* The Finnish film ''Kummeli Stories'' used this as an elaborate pseudo-[[Brick Joke]]: About halfway through the movie, a topless woman walks into the scene for no reason other than the fact that the movie wouldn't be complete without a pair of naked breasts, with the other characters promising "more titties after the credits". This continues into the actual credits, with "more titties after the credits" shown once or twice as a reminder... and after the credits finally finish, another character shows up, scolds the audience for being a bunch of perverts, and tells them to go home.
* At the end of ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', Animal tells the audience to "Go home! Go home! Bye, bye!"
* At the end of ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'', Porky Pig attempts to deliver his famous catchphrase. Unfortunately for him, his stutter gets even worse than normal and after the lights go out he stops trying and, in an irritated tone, tells the audience to "Just go home, folks!"
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]?'' ended with Porky saying his line, followed by Tinkerbell blanking the screen with her wand, ''Disneyland''-style.
* Also done after the end credits in ''[[Space Jam]]'' when Bugs Bunny says the line. Porky Pig shows up and protesting Bugs, then Daffy Duck shows up saying it his way, then the five aliens pushed Daffy away and saying the line, and finally, Michael Jordan pushes up the curtain saying, "Can I go home now?"
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World|Scott Pilgrim]]'' ends after the credits with a "The End" and sprite of Scott from [[Scott Pilgrim (video game)|the game]] jumping in and busting up the text.
* ''[[Kangaroo Jack]]'' parodied this at the end, with the title character appearing in the Looney Tunes bullseye, stammering "T-th-th-that's all, blokes!"
* ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]'' parodied ''Ferris Bueller'' with the title character appearing in a similar hallway wearing a similar robe to inform the audience that the movie was over and they weren't going to get a standard [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] [[Stinger]] with "Sam Jackson in a saucy leather number", before singing a bit of [[Standard Snippet|Yello's iconic "Oh Yeah"]].
== Live
* From ''[[All That]]'':
Line 65:
* [[Mickey Mouse Club]] had the "Now it's time to say goodbye to all our company" variation of its opening theme.
* Roundhouse: "Reprise the theme song and roll the ending credits!"
* Nearly every episode of ''[[Top Gear]]'' ends with Jeremy Clarkson saying "And on that bombshell, it
* The ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|
* The [[Vanity Plate]] for Ronald Moore's company for ''
* The final episode of ''[[Dinosaurs]]'': "This is Howard [[Punny Name|Handupme]] signing off for the very last time. [[Tear Jerker|Goodnight... And goodbye..."]]
* One episode of the ''[[Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' actually ended with Mary saying "Th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!"
== Music ==
* "[[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] has left the building." (So he won't be coming back on stage for another encore, so you may as well go home now.)
* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' ''Let It Be'' was the last album the group released, and John's final quip "I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and hope we pass the audition" would certainly be bittersweet. But since ''Abbey Road'' was the last the group recorded, that distinction would go to the last line of "The End":▼

{{quote|And in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make. }}
* [[Paul McCartney]] has done this in recent{{when}} concerts - in one he held at Abbey Road (which might air on a [[PBS]] station near you{{verify}}), he wrote a song in front of the audience, and the lyrics included "That's all for now! You've got to go home!" (Done very sweetly and melodically.) Since Paul recently{{when}} has been known to try to continue concerts after the mike has been turned off, a formalized goodbye is necessary.
* An ironic example by the band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_BRaK301A "That's All"]. The song title is the final lyrics and the rest is instrumental until it fades out.
* Unusual example: the final song of the [[Type O Negative]] album ''October Rust'' cuts off abruptly (after 10 minutes of epicness) and then the lead singer says "Well, that's about it. That's all we have. I hope it wasn't too disappointing. We will see you on tour. Until then, take it easy."
* [[Big & Rich]]'s debut album ''Horse of a Different Color'' included a nearly minute-long goodbye after the last song which was obviously unscripted.
* Eric Idle and Neil Innes' "Rutland Weekend Times" has an instrumentalless finale which includes this couplet:
{{quote|[The budget] is how much we've got to make you bleeders smile
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
* [[Joseph Haydn]]'s Symphony No. 45 is known as the "Farewell" Symphony - he and his musicians were kept at Prince Nikolaus Esterházy's summer palace much longer than expected, so at the end of the last movement, each musician stopped playing and left the stage, snuffing out their candle, until there were two violinists left. The prince got the hint and let them go the next day.
* ''[[Sesame Street]]'' sing-along or play-along cassettes from the 1980s invariably ended with a stern male narrator announcing: "The tape is over. Please press the STOP button. Push it now." If you still hadn't pushed it after that, you got Oscar the Grouch sarcastically yelling: "WILL YOU PUSH IT NOW ALREADY?!"
* The [[Blue Öyster
* A cappella novelty band

Line 100 ⟶ 99:
* Armenian folk tales almost always end with some variant on the phrase "Three apples fell from heaven; one for the storyteller, one for the listener, and one for whoever pays good attention."
== Radio ==▼
* ''[[The Goon Show|The Last Goon Show Of All]]'' included the following pair of announcements after the outro music.▼
{{quote|'''Andrew Timothy''' (Announcer, to audience): Well, the recording is all right, so thank you for coming, ladies and gentlemen, and goodnight.▼
'''Spike Milligan''' (performer): Now ''get out!'' }}▼
** NB the reference to the recording being OK might seem paradoxical because they'd have to stop the tape in order to check it, but a second recording was made for transcription purposes and that's where the end tag came from.▼
== Theater ==
Line 112 ⟶ 118:
* ''[[Pagliacci|"Le commedia es finita!"]]''
* When [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]] played the Hollywood Bowl, they ended with a card on the big screen reading "THE END". After a few seconds, this was replaced with one reading "Now piss off!"

* Virtually all data transmission standards specify "End of Stream" or functionally similar code. Data that, for whatever reason, comes after such code are treated as though they don't exist.▼
== Video Games ==
Line 136 ⟶ 127:
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' does this with The End screen. A no-brainer usually, really, but with the series' tendecy to hide extra endings after the initial ending cutscene and credits, The End screen is the only consistently sure way to tell that it's really safe to turn the game off without the fear of missing something.
** Even then, it's not a sure thing. Some of them play a version of the Prelude (you know, that theme with the up-and-down arpeggios) a minute or so ''after'' the music stops and "The End" appears, a theme which can't be heard at any other point. Most people miss it unless they happen to leave the game running.
* [[Super Mario 64|"Thank a-you]] [[Super Mario Sunshine|so
* Just before the prompt to save [[New Game+]] data, both ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4]]'' put the word "Fin" on the last freeze frame, {{spoiler|Aigis holding the MC's dying body}} in ''3'' and the main character looking at a picture of him and his friends in ''4''.
* The shower scene at the end of [[Tomb Raider]] 2.
Line 145 ⟶ 136:
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all, fucks]]!
* [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad Emails]] almost all end with an off-screen printer printing and spitting out a page at the top of the screen with the link to email Strong Bad. (As of Email #202, it's been replaced with a Windows-style pop-up message to go with his new "paperless" setup.) Though it's not always the real end of the video...
** "No, there's no [[Easter Egg
** He ends every episode of [[Teen Girl Squad]] with "IT'S OVER!!!" (Which, again, may or may not actually be true.)
* The [[Animutation]] [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/cnb "Chocolate Niblet Beans"] ends with Handy from ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' saying "Well, kids, that's all you get! That's it! READ A BOOK!"
Line 169 ⟶ 160:
** Also, the ''bo-bo-be-doop'' was a very common form of scatting back then. It didn't start with Betty Boop.
* ''[[The Critic]]'': "Excuse me, sir, the show's over." Jay's response is a [[Couch Gag]].
* Cosmo tries to do this at the end of ''[[The Fairly
{{quote|'''Cosmo''': Th-Th-Th Th-Th-Th- Th-Th-Th-
'''Wanda''': Cosmo? What's wrong?
Line 182 ⟶ 173:
* One episode of [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]] had Double D [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|request for a "iris out" to end the episode,]] having tired of Eddy's stupidity for the day.
** [[The Movie]], after the credits, ended with {{spoiler|Jonny asking the question [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|"What movie?"]], after Plank "tells" him its too late to exact his revenge since the movie ([[Grand Finale|and in turn, the series]]) is over.}}
* [[The Teletubbies]] would end with "Time for Tubby Bye-bye". It mixes
** But [[The Teletubbies]] really want to play some more.
{{quote|'''[[The Narrator]]''': Bye-bye, Tinky Winky.
Line 195 ⟶ 186:
* At the end of ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', when the final Walt Disney Pictures logo appears, [[Robin Williams|the Genie]] actually tells the viewers that the film is over and then bids them all goodbye.
* The ending of ''[[The Aristocats]]''. And yes, it's those two dogs that attacked Edgar the butler twice in the film that tell us that the film is over.
* At the end of ''[[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 2]]'', we see one of the tour guide [[Barbie]] dolls telling the viewer, "Buh-bye now!" Of course, if you stick around to watch her tell people good-bye, she eventually stops and complains about how tired she is of having to do it.
* The Mexican policeman from the [[American Dad|Underdog Productions]] [[Vanity Plate|logo.]]
* At the end of ''[[King Size Canary]]'', the cat and mouse are now both the size of planets due to them consuming a magic potion that can turn them into giants. However, at the end of the short, the bottle containing said potion is now empty, and therefore the cat and mouse cannot change back and as a result the mouse tells the viewers that they actually have to end the picture because of this.
* At the end of the credits of ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', [[Alluring Anglerfish|the Anglerfish]] appears one last time, only for it to be eaten up by a smaller fish, who swims away to end the movie.
** Its [[Dueling Movies|counterpart]] ''[[Shark Tale]]'' ends with Ms. Sanchez the weaverfish telling everyone to go home because "it's past your bedtime."
