A specific type of Tag. The plot is resolved just before the last Act Break, but the characters come back after the commercial and deliver one last joke, usually tangentially related to the plot. Very often afterwards, everyone laughs.
The trope name comes from The Cisco Kid, where Cisco would deliver the punchline, and Pancho would always go, "Oh, Ceeesco!" Still used in many shows, comedy or not.
Compare to And Knowing Is Half the Battle and End-of-Episode Silliness. Also compare with The Stinger, where this is after the credits. Usually a variation of Every Episode Ending.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nothing to do with networking equipment. Or a certain bald federation captain. Or the superhero known as Vibe.

The Big Bang Theory often brings back a throw-away joke and expands on it, to humorous effect. In one episode, the gang discusses how Sheldon's "species" reproduces. The theories are myriad, but later, Sheldon is shown eating large amounts of Thai food, eventually splitting into 2 identical copies. Leonard awakes from his dream, cursing the Mitosis Theory of Sheldon Reproduction.

Welcome Back, Kotter: The title character tells a joke about one of his relatives to his wife, Julie ... usually one of those unknown-until-now uncle and a bad pun. Even the episodes with somber or serious themes, or those ending on said note, ended not with a serious resolution to the situation but one of those "Did I ever tell you about my Uncle Jamie?"-type jokes.

Many episodes of My Name Is Earl play out the credits over a scene of Earl and Randy in bed having a conversation unconnected with the events of the episode, usually triggered by a Non Sequitur by Randy.

The Colbert Report has one last joke before the credits, generally delivered from Colbert's armchair by the fire (in reference to FDR's fireside chats). This can be anything from a one-liner to an entire scene.

In Mr. Magoo, after Waldo and Prezly would be involved in another big plan, Quincy Magoo would usually end the episode with "Oh, that Waldo and Prezly, what'll they be up to next, heh heh?"
One of Magoo's catchphrases at the end of an episode was "Oh Magoo, you've done it again!"

The Blake's 7 episode "Children of Auron" where the premise is the almost total extermination of the Aurons, a race of empathic humanoids who are opposed to the evil Federation and are thus nominally allied with the protagonists. (Almost all alliances in Blake's Seven are nominal. It's their Hat.) Approximately five thousand children and a few adults survive and the crew manage to find them a location where they will be safe and can rebuild the Auron race. At the episode's close Avon makes a joke about the society being a gigantic nursery, which in the context of recent genocide is in incredibly poor taste. Auron main character Cally is notably absent from the bridge at this point.

Used in most episodes of Family Guy. lampshaded in one episode wherein Peter says "And I've learned something from this... ya know what, we've done this a billion times, so I'm just going to do the cadences" and the family just speaks gibberish (in the proper cadences, of course.)
