No, not that The End. Or that one. Or even that one. Or to some extent that one.
The characters are about to do something, but are interrupted by the end of the episode, often in the form of a "The End" card. This isn't a Cliffhanger that will be resolved when the characters finish their plans next episode; either the end of the episode actually prevents them from ever getting it done, or they at least express dismay that the episode's ending has stopped or delayed them.
Often overlaps with Smash Cut and The Unreveal. Often used for a Curse Cut Short.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast often ended this way. This was lampshaded in one episode when the show was hijacked by an angry fan, who among his demands wanted "at least one episode of Space Ghost to have a decent ending, not one that just is abruptly interrupted by the theme—" *credits roll*

The Simpsons:
At the end of the fourth-season episode "Homer The Heretic", Homer convinces God to tell him the meaning of life as they stroll through Heaven together. God gets as far as "The meaning of life is—" before the credits cut Him off. The writers thought that when the episode aired, the end would be immediately followed by a Fox promo (rather than just the credits). The idea was that the viewers would be pissed off by having a revelation from God being cut off by a promo. Ironically, on the episode's original broadcast Fox didn't run a promo over the credits for once.
Used in the episode "22 Short Films About Springfield," when Professor Frink showed up too late.
"Pygmoelian" has Moe complain about the absurdity of the Reset Button: A prop wall fell on him, magically reversing the plastic surgery he underwent. Moe is utterly baffled by how it caused him to revert to his original ugly face rather than giving him an entirely new ugly face, but is cut off by the end credits in the middle of his complaining.
"You Kent Always Say What You Want" ends with Homer trying to tell Lisa an awful truth about Fox, only for his dialogue and Lisa's response to be dubbed over. When Homer protests against this, it immediately cuts to the 20th Century Fox logo, then to a white screen where he says "Okay, what I was going to say was-" before it cuts to the Gracie Films logo, and then the episode credits.

One episode of House of Mouse was about Goofy attempting to sing the national anthem because Mickey Mouse and friends are preparing to start a show about sports and focusing on athletic Disney characters such as Casey at the Bat, Hercules, and Mulan, but ends up singing other patriotic songs like "America the Beautiful", "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", "Stars and Stripes Forever", and "A Grand Old Flag" instead. Eventually Goofy finally finds out that the national anthem is actually "Star-Spangled Banner", and is about to sing it only to find out that the episode is over. The episode ends with him singing the first few lyrics of the anthem, but is then cut off.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: At the end of "One False Movie", Bloo is complaining about his movie losing the film festival, which Mac points out is because the movie had no ending (due to Eduardo taping over it with a show he was trying to watch). Bloo then explains that his movie was still great and as long as the rest is good, you don't need an end- Cue The End title card.

The classic scene from the classic Daffy Duck cartoon "Duck Amuck," where Daffy pleads "Let's get this picture started!", only for the animator to iris the scene out and plant a "The End" card on screen. Averted in that this is not the end of the short as Daffy pushes the card off the screen and the madness continues.

Phineas and Ferb:
Throughout the Musical Episode, Major Monogram's attempts to sing a song about himself are always cut off. During The Stinger, Carl convinces him to give it one more go...only for the Vanity Plates to cut him off.
In "The Great Indoors", Candace uses Phineas and Ferb's Big Idea as the chance to find out what Jeremy likes about her, but he keeps getting interrupted. At the end, he is finally about to reveal the answer, she smiles and he opens his mouth to speak... but then it suddenly cuts right to the Spanish soccer game.

The Crying of Lot 49 is about a woman who suspects she has discovered an enormous Ancient Conspiracy of mailmen. One of her clues is that an old stamp collection is up for auction, and she believes that - if the conspiracy is indeed real - someone will show up to bid on it very heavily. Looking at a program, she sees that the stamps have been designated as the 49th lot to be cried at auction. Not only are we cut off from The Reveal, but The Crying of Lot 49 ends seconds before the crying of lot 49.

One episode of Futurama had Zoidberg try to start up his own musical routine at the end (copying Hermes who had one earlier in the episode):
Played with in another episode where Fry and Leela go on a private vacation where, unbeknownst to them, they're secretly in a zoo on a planet of intelligent apes being watched by hundreds. Amy, Zoidberg, and Bender become aware of this but, despite being angry after seeing footage of Fry and Leela bad-mouthing them behind their backs, decide to keep it a secret to spare their feelings. Then the two push their luck a little too far, Amy angrily gives permission to tell them the truth, and it fades to the end credits. Then abruptly cuts back to Bender screaming "YOU WERE IN A ZOO!!!" at a shocked Fry and Leela, and then cuts to the credits for real.

Kero Kero Bonito ends their album Time 'n' Place with "Rest Stop", which abruptly ends before Sarah Bonito finishes her last line. Bear in mind, it's being delivered otherwise in complete silence following a climax of the most terrifyingly glitched-out and distorted sounds the band has ever conceived, so you're definitely meant to notice it — what it actually means is up to you.

Saria is about the Real Life events that led up to a tragic orphanage fire in which 41 girls were killed. The fire breaks out while the girls are locked in a room, the evil guard smirks and turns back to her phone—and boom, the film ends, just like that, without showing the end of the fire, much less anything that followed.

The great prophet Zarquon, whose second coming has been long awaited in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is interrupted not by the end of the episode, but by the end of the universe.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
Used in the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video". The episode documents the history of the Krusty Krab restaurant, safety and etiquette and the like, all dragging to finally how to make a Krabby Patty. As the narrator says "Okay! The secret formula i—", the episode cuts off. Many fans speculate the episode ends this way because, In-Universe, it is a fail-safe to protect the formula in the event Plankton gets his hands on the tape.
Done in the very end of "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout" when Patrick asks SpongeBob how old he is. SpongeBob responds with "Well, as of today, I am-" it then cuts to static and the episode ends.note According to SpongeBob's driver's license, his birthday is July 14, 1986, putting his age at 33 at the time of the episode.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
The episode "Princess Spike" ends with Spike, having been handed a bouquet of dragon sneeze flowers after the successful reassembly of the Citizens of Equestria Statue, about to sneeze right in front of said sculpture, but before he can do so, it goes right to the credits.
The episode "Magic Duel" ends with Pinkie Pie interrupting the Iris Out and pointing out she still doesn't have her mouth. Twilight comes in and restores Pinkie's mouth, and Pinkie inhales to speak... then the credits immediately start rolling.

In one episode, Bakura is about to begin some Bakura-style Fanservice — but to his dismay, the closing credits arrive and stop him.
In a variation, in one episode Ishizu predicts that another guy will be interrupted by the opening credits.

Used in the Spanish Inquisition episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus; when the three cardinals finally reach the courtroom where they are most definitely not expected, the screen goes black before Cardinal Ximenez can finish announcing their presence, prompting him to cut himself off with "Nobody expects - oh, bugger!"

At least one episode of EastEnders had this happen unintentionally; the iconic closing drumbeats started playing while a character was still talking, drowning them out and effectively cutting them off mid-sentence.

During one episode of Top Gear, the guys mentioned that they would be ending a minute early for a soccer match. During the end, Jeremy continued to ramble on while Richard and James begged him to stop while reminding him of the early ending. He says "What are they going to do? Cut us o..."note  Followed, in the original broadcast, by the BBC continuity announcer saying, "Well, we did warn them!"

South Park:
In the episode "Here Comes The Neighborhood" Mr. Garrison convinces others in town to got rid of all the rich blacks, with methods such as burning a lowercase "t" on their lawns and scaring them by dressing as ghosts. At the end he states they can now become rich themselves by selling the homes only for the others to point out that what they did was meaningless since there will still be rich people. Garrison says "Well, at least we got rid of those damn ni—".
The episode "Trapper Keeper" had Cartman constantly make fun of Kyle, who saves him in the end. When Stan demands Cartman to apologize, he utters "Kyle..." before the credits roll.

Homestar Runner:
In the very first Decemberween cartoon, Homestar Runner cuts off Strong Sad, claiming they're out of time, but a few seconds then pass before the end screen actually appears.
Another animation called "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy", which is done on Mario Paint, has Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat talking about tattoos, but they are all interrupted by Homestar Runner, who tells them about his design for a perfect tattoo. When Strong Mad realizes that Homestar cannot have tattoos because of his lack of arms, he yells out "YOU DON'T HAVE AR-" but the episode ends.

An early 50s Mighty Mouse cartoon has Pearl Pureheart in a predicament and Mighty Mouse in flight on his way to save her as the cartoon starts to Iris Out, as the narrator entreats us to catch the story next week. The iris suddenly stops and the picture frozen. The narrator says "Gosh, we can't wait till next week. Won't you show us what happens now? Please?" The cartoon resumes.

Family Guy
One episode doesn't feature Meg until the end. When she does appear, Brian says "Oh, hey, Meg. What did you get up to today?" Meg opens her arms to explain animatedly and a huge smile comes to her face...BAM. Credits.
Happens again in one of the Thanksgiving specials centered around Kevin Swanson having deserted from his unit in Iraq. After the plot has settled and Joe and Kevin have made peace, a second Kevin shows up claiming that the other Kevin is an impostor. Peter says that he doesn't think they have time for that story, and is followed by the credits.
After an episode has an All Just a Dream reveal, Brain questions Stewie on whether the audience might find that an unsatisfying cop-out. Stewie gets indignant and says "At least it's not like The Sopranos where they just cut to black in the middle of a sen—"

Zero Punctuation:
The review of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand sees Yahtzee regularly insisting that he isn't racist, going so far as to include "subliminal" messages about his lack of racism. He ends the review with an inspiring speech about how we should all put aside our differences and work together to build a better world. "Not that they'd know anything about work, the lazy nig—" *CREDITS*
The review of Mafia II ends with Yahtzee complaining about the game's own unsatisfying ending, and then provides a demonstration of what he's talking about:
