A post-credits scene (also known as a stinger, end tag, or credit cookie) is a short teaser clip that appears after the closing credits have rolled and sometimes after a production logo of a film, TV series, or video game has run. It is usually included to reward the audience for having the patience to watch through the credits sequence; it may be a scene written for humour or to set up a sequel.

Sometimes, one or more mid-credits scenes are also inserted partly through the closing credit, typically for the purpose of maintaining the audience's attention so they don't have to wait for the entire credit roll to finish for a teaser.
