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 98:
* 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 110 ⟶ 117:
* ''[[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!"

* Standard bar or pub line at closing time: "This is the last call. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here." There was even a pop song with lyrics almost exactly like the above ("Closing Time" by Semisonic).▼
* [[Microsoft Windows|Windows 95]], upon being shut down, would "end" on a blank screen except for the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer." Newer versions of Windows would probably do the same, if not for the advent of PCs that could just turn themselves off instead of waiting for the user.▼
* Certain phones on Virgin Mobile service, such as the Kyocera Jax, print "BYE" to the screen when turned 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 198 ⟶ 190:
* 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."
