Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~TheEnd_3107~~TheEnd 3107.png\|frame]] {{quote\|"[[Shaped Like Itself\|The End of The End can be found at The End of The End]]."\|Lemony Snicket, explaining where to find the last pages of the book fittingly entitled ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events\|The End.]]''}} The story's over. Time to put up an intertitle card saying "THE END". If you want to be sophisticated, make it [[Gratuitous French\|"Fin"]] in cursive. The words "You Have Been Watching" followed by the ending credits was popular in [[Live Action Television]] for a while, particularly but not exclusively in [[Sitcom~~\|Sitcoms~~]]s. Most movies in past years have used this as the standard end to the story, but now it is used off and on, at the whim of the writers. When films only had opening credits, this was a way to indicate the end of the film. Now that opening credits are shortened (or absent) and the full credits come at the end of the film, this isn't as useful. Line 15: Has nothing to do with [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater\|a 100 year old sniper who wants a last fight]], or [[Minecraft\|alternate dimensions where there be dragons]]. {{endingtrope}} The End of the trope description. ----▼ === Interesting variations of this trope: ===▼ ▲---- ▲~~===~~ {{examples\|Interesting variations of this trope: ~~===~~}} == Anime == Line 61 ⟶ 63: == Literature == * The last book in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' is actually called ''[[The End]]'', but this is [[No Ending\|deeply]] [[Subverted Trope\|subverted]] by the book itself. ** A super-duper [[Up to Eleven]] version occurs tucked in the end. At the end of every book there's a letter to the editor, telling him where to find the next manuscript. The last chapter of ''[[The End]]'' is treated as though it was a seperate book contained in the same volume, with a different dedication page, publishing page, etc. Thus, in his letter to the editor: {{quote\|The End of The End can be found at The End of The End.}} * The last entry in the ''New Redhouse Turkish-English Dictionary'' is "'''züzuniyet''': final word, conclusion." That this is a made-up word is [[Lampshaded]] in the errata, which correctly points out that "the last entry in the dictionary is unaccountably left without a derivation." Line 114 ⟶ 116: == Western Animation == * Another variation is just "END". Like in the ''[[~~Ka Blam~~KaBlam!\|Prometheus and Bob]]'' shorts. ** And ''[[Cow and Chicken]]''. * The ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' sometimes had a "the end" at the end of a short and sometimes didn't, but always had "That's all, folks!" in the closing credits.
