Roll credits. (ding)

When a character does a title drop (uttering the title of whatever franchise they're in), regardless of if it was intentional or accidental. If it was done on purpose, Roll Credits might be an attempt at a Cute Touch. If the name of a franchise is the name of an in-universe noun such as the lead of that franchise, an important event, or a key object the story focuses on, there can be no Roll Credits moment as the mentioning of that noun and, by extension, the franchise is inevitable.

Not to be confused with Cue Credits, whenever it'd be an appropriate time to end the scene right where it is.

Roll Credits Plays
Basic: Someone forces a title drop as explained above.

Reinforced: This is supposed to be funny although it's not. Bonus Points if the person turns to the camera and winks or pulls some other stunt.

Downplayed: After the title of the franchise is mentioned, someone who is Aware Of The UnTrash does something about it, like hit the speaker or call them out for playing Roll Credits.

Negated: The Title Warned Us, so the name of the franchise can't necessarily be title dropped.

Justified: --

Inverted: --

Gleeful: The title drop is saved for a Final Speech at the end of the story as a Cute Touch.

Dismal: --
