Snicket Warning Label	comment	So you're watching, reading, or listening to a work of fiction, and it's pretty much wrapped up. The good guys win, the hero and his significant other are getting married, and all that's left is to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s in this Happily Ever After. All of a sudden..."Stop watching. Now. We mean it! It's for your own good!" The narrator has intervened to warn you about an upcoming unpleasant plot twist! If the work in question has more minutes/pages/episodes left than strictly necessary to write "And they lived Happily Ever After" over a beautiful sunset as they ride into the distance, odds are that it won't. Whether it's a Mandatory Twist Ending or a Diabolus ex Machina, the end result is a supreme Downer Ending as the heroes' good fortune is yanked out from under their feet. Normally, this happens without warning, but a Snicket Warning Label will politely inform you beforehand that if you prefer the happy ending, perhaps it's best for you to quit now. The Snicket Warning Label could also occasionally be used as a 'meta' form of Schmuck Bait. Because really, after a warning like that, who doesn't want to find out what really happens? A variant can occur when characters are viewing a Show Within a Show, and one character delivers a warning to the other. If you are playing a Video Game that includes an Ominous Save Prompt, chances are that it's this as well. Note: Unless there is a warning in the work itself, it is not this trope. "This-or-that movie would have been less tragic if it had ended 10 minutes early" is not this trope. A narrator telling you to stop watching? That's this trope. This trope is named for the warning the "author" of A Series of Unfortunate Events gives at the beginning of each book, suggesting that you will likely be much happier if you read something else. Perhaps about a happy little elf? Warning: As an Ending Trope, here be SPOILERS, potentially unmarked! Stop reading now or have your favorite stories spoiled!!!

This is completely true, although it takes long enough to get there that there's time for some other stuff to happen. When you eventually get to the point where you're about to be crushed into oblivion by a piece of industrial equipment, the second narrator urges you to turn off the game instead of letting it kill you.

Snicket Warning Label / int_25f6f1a0	comment	The 6th arc of Umineko: When They Cry is the closest the story gets to an outright happy ending. The seventh arc then provides two different warnings that to continue reading is to get a much more depressing end. The first is in the description when the game is opened. "Things you become able to see with love. Things you become unable to see because of love. By knowing love and believing in magic, the door to the Golden Land was opened. However, the tale of love ends here. What will be told from now on is only a tale of cruel tragedy and harsh truth..." At the end of the seventh arc, just in case the audience was still holding out hope for a happy ending to be yanked out of everything during the final arc, Lambda and Bern then warn you in red that This story will not have a happy ending. The ending of the eighth arc itself is an improvement over the seventh, but only from "bad" to "bittersweet."

The host, real-life BBC presenter Michael Parkinson, points out that this is post-Watershed television, and urging the caller - and indeed, everyone in the audience - not to let their children watch the rest of the special.

Doing so will erase everyone in the world from existence. Some of the later bosses beg you not to continue (their opposition is based on self-defense since the success of your quest is tied to the end of their existence). The only way for the player to save Koholint and avert the annihilation of everything on it is to stop playing the game! At the same time though, the Nightmares are slowly corrupting the island, making it theirs, and creating more monsters. Waking up the Windfish will ensure that it will go to sleep again, but Link's permanent destruction would make the nightmare eternal...

Of course, someone will get a bruised arm, but you can't remove all the tension.

Snicket Warning Label / int_d64bff49	comment	In Doctor Who (Titan), "The Fourth Wall" opens with the Twelfth Doctor attempting this and failing in both the in-universe and meta senses. He's trapped in an in-universe comic book thanks to the Boneless and knows that its reader will end up another prisoner if she turns the page, which is exactly what happens to her when she ignores his warning; this is represented by the actual next page of the comic being given over to a full-page panel of the Boneless reaching out to the reader(s).

Snicket Warning Label / int_dc72c82f	comment	In Fallen London, these warnings precede almost every action relating to Seeking Mr. Eaten's Name, begging the player to stop, and telling you that the quest only leads to ruin and death. The warnings aren't lying. Sunless Sea also has a couple of options that bluntly tell you "Do Not Do This". Appropriately enough, they're at a place that may or may not be where Mr. Eaten was betrayed.

Snicket Warning Label / int_e9ec19e1	comment	There's a very quiet one in Spec Ops: The Line. The first thing in the game that you see is a big red "STOP" sign. About halfway through the game, you find another one, this one filled with bullet holes. This comes immediately before the first huge twist that reveals the true, deconstructive nature of the game, the white phosphorus shelling and its civilian casualties. "None of this would have happened if you had just stopped." indeed.

Snicket Warning Label / int_ec1315a6	comment	Saikano's fansub had a variant of this. Episode 10 of this Thirteen Episode Anime ends with "A friendly warning from the team: This is the ending of happiness in Saikano. If you would prefer the anime to have a happy end, consider stopping here and pretending there are no more episodes. Continuing will only bring misery and pain. You have been warned." at the bottom of the credits. It's even worse in the manga, where a similar warning is placed. In the middle of the second volume. Out of seven. The above warning in the fansub was so notorious that English releases of the DVD booklet referenced how Chise and Shuji's Blade Runner style running into the distance together had been passed around the fans as the unofficial happy ending.

Snicket Warning Label / int_ffe96c37	comment	Early into Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Richard warns Martin there will be a "pretty big twist" at the end of the movie he’s filming, that no one will like it, and that he should get out while he still can. While he’s correct in that the movie ends with him being shot and killed (where as the script that can be found in the following area originally called for a different outcome) he’s also hinting at the game’s controversial ending in which a nuclear war breaks out and everyone dies. Bonus points for the game's acts being named after a narrative structure and having a movie feel to it as well. Trying to select the final level after completing it will result in the game begging you not to play it.
