Unless I missed a posting or two, no one has yet mentioned the end of either
AIRPLANE or AIRPLANE II -- THE SEQUEL. In the first movie, there's a running
gag where every once in a while, there is a scene switch to a passenger in a
taxi-cab that Robert Hays left running at the airport. At the very end of the
credits, we switch to that scene, and the passenger looks at his watch and
says, "OK, I'll wait just 10 more minutes."
	At the end of the credits in AIRPLANE II, there is a card proclaiming
"Coming Soon --- AIRPLANE III", after which we flash to Shatner saying in a
sinister tone, "That's just what they'd be expecting us to do!" (This is a
reference to a scene with Robert Stack in the first movie).
	Also, there are some weird credits in the closing titles to those
movies, such as:

	Best Boy	What's a Best Boy?
	Worst Boy	Adolf Hitler
	Author of A Tale of Two Cities
			Charles Dickens

as well as a listing of someone as "Generally in Charge of a Lot of Things".
And at the end of the copyright notice, the [paraphrase] "unauthorized
duplication is prohibited by law" is followed by a "So there!"

And then there is the end of ANIMAL HOUSE. If you recall, in the "what are
they doing now?" section at the end, Babs is mentioned as having become a
tour guide for Universal City Studios. At the very end of the credits, where
Universal usually puts a card saying "When in Hollywood, visit Universal City
Studios", ANIMAL HOUSE adds a "(Ask for Babs)". This gag is repeated on at
least three other movies that I know of: THE BLUES BROTHERS, AN AMERICAN WERE-
WOLF IN LONDON (both John Landis films, as is ANIMAL HOUSE), and CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE (another John Belushi film). I've always wondered what happens if you
*do* ask for Babs.

And both AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and the THRILLER video end with the
disclaimer, "Any resemblence to actual persons living, dead, or undead..."
