| - The Stinger is a villain from The Mask: The Animated Series.
- In the lead up to an important demonstration, Lucas is knocked unconscious and the Stinger, seaQuest's prototype high speed sub, is stolen.
- The Stinger scene that happens after the credits. It is also known as a "tag" or "credit cookie". Generally, they're used as a Sequel Hook, but may also be there to show that the guy who made a Heroic Sacrifice is Not Quite Dead. Alternately, in a comedy, it may just be one last joke to punctuate the show. There may even be a selection of Hilarious Outtakes, or a special ending screen. The lesson to be learned from this? Always watch the credits. (Of course, more often than not you'll get nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry.) Examples of The Stinger include:

Always watch the credits. (Of course, more often than not you'll get nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry.) Also a term used to describe the five-second joke [in a comedy], extra dramatic moment [in a drama/thriller], or whispered phrase without a face [epics or horror films] used in trailers, the "Two bits!" to the trailer's "Shave and a hair-cut..." Speaking of which, that's where the term is originally derived from: A term for a final, short note at the very end of a piece. Often done as a form of That's All Folks. If the credits look awesome from the get-go, they're Creative Closing Credits. See also The Tag. Examples of The Stinger include:
