The humorous character images used in the closing credits of the ''Daria'' TV series. Most commonly, these are images that place one or more of the characters in unusual costumes or situations for comic effect. Characters are often made to look [[out of character]] to heighten the humor (Daria as a cheerleader, or Kevin Thompson as Sherlock Holmes), or dressed and posed in [[crossover]] settings (click the link for examples).
