Stretch Films was the New York animation studio founded by John R. Dilworth, best known as the production company behind Courage the Cowardly Dog on Cartoon Network from 1999 to 2002. Its closing logo, a stretching smiling mouth, played after episodes and burned itself into viewers who stayed through the credits. Clips of the sting later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits alongside other cartoon laughs like the Woody Woodpecker Laugh, kept alive by nostalgia for the show's mix of comedy and horror.
