Once Again the Day Is Saved Thanks to Him

A formulaic spoken communication or narration similar to the Opening Narration, placed at the terminate of every episode of a show to (as close as nosotros tin tell) make sure the audience hasn't forgotten what they're watching. It may recap the basic premise of the show, merely will not pay more than than a token nod to the actual specifics of the episode (unlike, say, a Fauxlosophic Narration). For total credit, the judgement should finish with a Title Drop.

Almost sectional to kid's shows, though it seems to accept made a foray into more mature serial for a cursory menstruum around 1980.

A Sub-Trope of Every Episode Ending.

Compare Signing-Off Catchphrase. Can overlap with Script Wank when used to spell out An Aesop.

("And so...um...hmm. Yeah.").
  • The get-go instance of changing the ending was in "Boogie Frights", which had the girls comatose in bed onscreen, and the Narrator talking almost how they had literally saved the twenty-four hour period since the villain's programme had been to make it permanently night by blocking out the sun.

The episode ends with the narrator announcing that the mean solar day was saved by "...Ms. Keane'southward cat, I guess. Nice Valentino."
  • At the end of the episode "A Made Up Story", Flower was bragging that she never fell victim to Mask Scara's Uncanny Valley Makeup when she trips and causes sequential accidents that give her a ridiculous appearance, leaving her at the mercy of The Freelance Shame Squad and causing the narrator to try to say the usual line amongst his own laughter.
