When a TV station squeezes the credits of a show or movie into a tiny fraction of the screen and shows ads in the rest. If you are using a DVR and that has a "zoom" feature, you might be able to pick out things like who shot the thing (!), and who played "Pretty Older Woman". Very popular in the late 1990s and most of the 2000s, it seems to have lessened recently with new programs, due to the fact that modern end-credits have been reduced to basically a Vanity Plate, perhaps in response to this trend. Channels which mostly show repeats of older shows, however, have this in spades. It's vaguely rude to the creators of the show whose names are obscured, though in the Internet age if anyone is interested in finding out who the Second Assistant Director was or who played "Pretty Older Women", the feeling is they can just look it up on IMDb. The ad shown on the rest of the screen is always a promo for the station or a particular program on the station, often with innuendo and double-entendre humor (i.e., never "stay tuned for (name of show)," sometimes with a mundane-by-comparison-but-still-perhaps-humorous plot that was common in the old days), and never for something that would actually give the station money. An interesting thing, however, is that on networks that do this, this is generally the only advertisement shown between one show and the next; once the pushed credits are over, the next show immediately starts, greatly reducing the amount of time a viewer isn't "attached" to a show and likely to turn the station. On those that don't do this, the very same advertisement appears a few seconds later. On some networks, the credits are pushed back for the start of the next program, to prevent channel switching (this is particularly common if the next program happens to be another episode of the program just ending). A variation of this for a channel that airs movies (like FX, TNT or Freeform): the beginning of the next movie/TV show plays while the movie's end credits are pushed back. In some cases, the channel doesn't play an ad, but instead runs a preview of the upcoming evening news, especially if the show just ending immediately precedes the news. It should be noted that rarely is this controlled by the studio which made the show, and was far more often done by the network or, in the case of syndication, local affiliate which is showing the episode, often placing news teasers in the other "window". This variant was notably parodied in The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets Famous". This is especially annoying if a show tends to do The Stinger during the Credits Roll, and is squished so you can't see it. Also referred to as "Credit Squeeze" (Charlie Brooker often uses this term) or "Credit Crunch" (after the term for the 2008 Global Recession). There are two common versions of this: the broadcaster will simply squish the credits to the side, or the bottom of the screen, run a promo alongside them, and maybe give them back the whole screen by the time the Vanity Plates (considered by broadcasters the most important part of the credits) appear. Some networks, however, show the plates first, then cut to a specially designed display with the credits on them. In the case of shows with long credit lists, such as movies, it's common for the closing credits to zip by at light speed. Warning: As this trope concerns endings of shows, unmarked spoilers follow.

Speaking of which, Adventure Time ironically itself has ending credits completely skipped over unless on DVD, digital download, streaming, or video on demand. And what really sucks is the credits are pretty awesome. Same thing with Regular Show. | |

Movie showings often have their credits sequences sped up such as a sequence from a showing of Finding Nemo in The New '10s and/or have only one song play during the credits if it had more than one song play in the original sequence (like How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, which omits "You Don't Have To Be Alone (On Christmas Day)" to play "Where Are You, Christmas?" because of the length of the credits). | |

During some 25 Days Of Christmas programming in 2019 like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the commercials would be squeezed into a frame to play shortened versions of videos seen on their YouTube channel. For instance, the break would start by showing a snowman spoofing The Joy of Painting and then cut to a skit with Santa dancing. | |

The Simpsons: In "Bart Gets Famous", where Bart works on Krusty's show has a scene with all of Bart's friends and a bunch of his classmates watching the credits intently for Bart's name. Unfortunately, the credits get squashed to illegibility by a promo for the news. Bart insists that it reads "Bart Simpson" but Milhouse reads it as "Brad Storch" and Martin as "Benny Symington". Nelson then punches Bart for supposedly "taking credit for other people's work". | |

On The Hub's reruns of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures, the network bumpers mute The Stinger at the end of the episode. It's almost funny that the shows' audio kicks back in almost immediately after the stinger ends. | |

This has even been known to happen with Made For TV Movies, which usually have much shorter end titles anyway - for example, BBC2 once did it with a screening of O Pioneers!. The end credits and closing logos for this movie last at least 52 seconds, and they STILL sped them up! | |

A very bizarre example of this trope happened on Theodore Tugboat. Up until Primestar stopped funding the series, the credits would be shrunk and sped up to half their length so that a white border with a circle in the center reading "pbs.org" could appear. Thankfully, the VHS releases and later broadcasts did not use this. | |

Just like the Disney Channel examples above, they don't do this to their original shows, but boy did they do this trope when they started airing newer imports like Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure and Backstage in the US. Even the Disney-made UK show The Lodge was not spared from it when aired there, despite being a Disney production. For some reason, My Babysitter's a Vampire got spared though when it aired in the past, but it might change if reaired again today. | |

One particularly egregious example is in Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, which does this pushback throughout the entirety of the ending credits all the way up to the end of The Stinger, meaning people needed to wait until the American broadcast to understand what was going on, since the movie was being played everywhere but America at the time. | |

One of the worst was when they screened Monsters, Inc. and actually cut off the left side of the screen to avoid showing the Blooper Reel and "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me." This was a few weeks after they'd done something similar to A Bug's Life (speeding up the credits as usual, blooper reel included) and had attracted complaints over it. | |

That Mitchell and Webb Look: Discussed in the second-to-last episode by David Mitchell and Robert Webb, who are trying to come up with a Drama Bomb Finale, only to note the possibility of this happening. Mitchell's greatest venom is reserved not for the BBC doing this, but the bastard from Dave. When the credits rolled on the subsequent finale, the continuity department got the hint. |

Steven Universe has beautiful end credits music... that is completely skipped over whenever it is broadcast. Like the previous two examples, fans consider it a waste on the network's part. The outro theme frequently changes as time goes on, revealing itself to be a full-length song called "Love Like You" when all the sections are put together, and is story-related. Cartoon Network still doesn't air it. This became a problem when the season 3 finale aired, as the song underscores an especially moving scene that goes to credits as the song finishes for the first time with the last line. When pushed back, it's quite jarring as it cuts off. The lack of credits also ruins the scene for fans who don't know of the ending, as the song playing in full during the show doesn't invoke as emotional of an impact if you haven't been hearing tidbits for three seasons. The only time the full credits played on American television was when the series aired on Boomerang for a brief time in the summer of 2018. At the end of the premiere of "Now We're Only Falling Apart", the credits appeared in tiny white lettering at the lower-left part of the screen before it ended. This is the first time this type of "credit crawl" has been used on Steven Universe, even though Cartoon Network has done it for other shows. The tiny white lettering-style credits was also used for episodes aired during the "Every Steven Ever" marathon on August 31 and September 1, 2019. OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes used pushback credits until a rerun of Crossover Nexus in September 2019, which used the tiny white lettering-style credits. |

When Star vs. the Forces of Evil aired its sneak peek on Disney Channel, the credits sequence was shrunken down into a tiny box at the bottom, while a commercial for one of those kid sitcoms played in a large box at the top. This caused viewers to miss out on a large portion of the credits song until the series' official premiere on Disney XD. Thankfully, the later airing of the episodes on both channels do keep the end credits (Mostly after coming from the last break of the show), one of the reasons for it staying because the credits are amazing. | |

For some TV shows, the credits sequence is a complete replacement instead of squashing the original picture. The credits text is at least readable this way. (We missed out on the nice tune at the end of every Lost episode.) | |

When Kim Possible returned for its Post-Script Season, the creators added over-the-credits gags that hadn't existed in seasons 1-3. On the night of the four-episode premiere, Disney Channel covered the first such Stinger with a voice over for another show. They caught on eventually. | |

The Disney Afternoon is arguably one of the earliest examples of this trope in American television. Instead of airing each show's credits right after the episodes ended, the first three shows would be followed by previews of the episodes still to air that day. Only after the last show ended did they finally show the credits-in the form of each's show credits on one side of the screen and a preview for the next day's episode on the other.note Not the same side for every show, as the screen showing the previews would flip from left to right and back again between each show's credits. Towards the end, the last set of previews was replaced with "The Disney AfterNews" starring voice actor Steve Mackall As Himself delivering mock news stories accompanied by recontextualized clips from the shows. Even before that, there was The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, which while it did run each show's credits following the episode's conclusion, it also used a generic credits screen which showed the producers/directors full screen against a blue background, and then ran a trailer for the next show in the block on top while the credits scrolled upwards on the bottom, only ending in time to show the remaining top-level producers and copyright notice. |

Spoofed in Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode ''Time Chasers": During the credits of the movie the main characters are watching, Observer (AKA Brain Guy) uses his omnipotent psychic powers to squeeze the whole screen over so he can parody this kind of advertising ads. You can even hear Mike and the 'Bots reacting to what he says. The gag gets interrupted when Pearl yells at Brain Guy, causing him to get down on himself and call it a stupid joke.

Media Watch called them on this once, when the long Credits Gag of the Mick Molloy flick Crackerjack was pushed back in favor of very loud Australian Idol promos. They interviewed Molloy, who was understandably annoyed with the situation. He then pushed back the credits of Media Watch, cheerfully pointing out that what he was doing was annoying, useless and disrespectful to the people working on the show. | |

Bob's Burgers also gets full-length and full-screen end credits as well. This may be due to the animation sequence at the end of every episode, however the sequence doesn't take up that much of the screen so that the credits themselves still could be theoretically squashed. | |

The same can be said for all new animated series airing on Disney Channel starting in 2018 - both Disney-made and non-Disney-made ones. Big City Greens is affected the most by this, due to having a great ending song that is only partially heard at the very end of the credits due to this trope. | |

A strange inversion for The Amazing World of Gumball. The full opening sequence is almost never seen in the United States. Instead, a short snippet of the theme is played, with the show's logo, and a creator credit for Ben Bocquelet. Occasionally, for certain episodes, or if there's a suitable gap in the timeslot, the full opening is shown, but rarely. The episode "The Fan" ends with Sarah (whom the episode's title refers to) Breaking the Fourth Wall by singing the show's closing theme, and the credits start after Gumball asks her what she is doing. However, because of the pushback, American viewers who have never heard the ending theme of the show are left just as confused as Gumball and Darwin. |

An odd variation happened whenever ABC ran the Peanuts specials in an hour-long block (that is, before they lost the rights to Apple TV+ and PBS in 2020). While the first special would have its credits shown in its entirety (since they typically have a scene playing out), the second one had split screen credits with a promo at the top and the credits and title on the bottom. Most holiday specials also run split-screen credits, but this trope is surprisingly averted whenever Olaf's Frozen Adventure airs on the network. | |

Scaredy Squirrel: In "Goat Police", where Scaredy and Dave were watching the titular show on TV, the credits were pushed back for a commercial for the show being filmed in Balsa City. It was repeated again in the Safety Corner segment following the episode about the difference between make-believe and grand larceny, this time for a promo for "Late Night with Dan Duck". Although Scaredy pushes the credits and promo out to continue with the segment, the segment Irises Out despite not being done yet. | |

YTV also did this to the second season finale of Transformers: Animated, in which Megatron and Starscream bicker entertainingly during the credits while floating about abandoned in an unidentified area of space. Many Transformers fans were irate at having a random Canadian lad talking over the snark fest, and were forced to wait until a transcription of the banter from Closed Captioning came out. YTV seems to do this to a lot of shows. Sometimes they'll not do it to a show until an episode with a new credits sequence or an over-credits plot element occurs and then push the credits back. Speaking of YTV, they (usually) start their shows 3-5 minutes before usual (so you miss the first 3-5 minutes of whatever you were watching before). |

Once again, the airings of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks not only suffers from this credits pushback with a completely different credits sequence than the one shown in cinemas and DVD, but it also cuts The Stinger at the end. It's especially jarring as the final scene before the credits transitions into the end credits song performed by the Rainbooms, but in the TV version, it just cuts from Pinkie Pie counting to the start of their song, right to the generic end credits theme. | |

Although they avert it on the very rare occasions that they rerun the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", due to the awesome music on that episode's end credits. However, on that episode's original airing, this trope applied. And now it's in full action on current airings of any episode with special songs in the end credits.note However, this trope is not applied on the episodes' original airings. | |

Comedian Toby Hadoke does a bit about this in his show "Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf" We're so sophisticated now that we can't be expected not to turn over if 'writing' comes up on the screen. So the credits are squashed to one side so ITV1 can advertise whatever edifying box of delights it's got on next be it "Alan Titchmarsh's Favorite Sandwitches" or "Celebrity Gynecology: Live". |

Cartoon Network is also doing this with The Looney Tunes Show. Since the show tends to pay homage to classic Looney Tunes, one of the characters takes their place behind the WB shield and waves to the audience as part of a closing Couch Gag.

The early English Pokémon: The Series episodes didn't have their own credits, but they at least featured the intro repeated alongside the end credits. Eventually, even the animation sequence was scrapped and there was just a black screen with credits. When the anime made the Channel Hop from Cartoon Network to Disney XD, TPCI began airing full endings similar to Yo-kai Watch, except the said ending credit sequence gets booted off to the bottom like in the Star vs. the Forces Of Evil (example above). | |

When the Hallmark Channel airs episodes of Frasier, the end credit gags are often shrunk, squashed, and/or sped up to the point that you can't tell what's happening. They've also taken it a step further by also cutting up the opening credits of shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, I Love Lucy, and Perry Mason, showing only quick freeze frames of the opening credits with a snatch of the theme underneath. | |
