Line 284: * ''[[Mighty Max]]'' had a segment at the end of each episode with Max giving a brief fact related to the subject of the episode. One two-part finale, with Max still out with Virgil and Norman in a hellish setting, had Max's mother remarking on her son's choice of Dante's Inferno as reading material.<ref>When the series was shown in the UK, they were cut from [[The BBC\|BBC1]]'s screenings but left intact on [[Nickelodeon]].</ref> * ''[[Mister T (animation)\|Mister T]]'' ([[The Animated Series]] starring [[Mr. T]]) puts both the moral in the action story—and then reminds the moral of the story in the tag. Not that the show was intended to bore kids to death. Mr. T [http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Mister_T/Mystery_of_the_Golden_Medallion.aspx spins crocodiles over his head]. And [http://mrtshark.ytmnd.com/ punches sharks]. * ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy]]'' parodies this in one episode. Erwin steals Grim's scythe and causes a lot of chaos with it. From their beaten up positions, two characters say to the audience "Remember kids, playing with scythes isn't cool or fun." "It's dangerous!" "So if you see a scythe, don't pick it up! Tell an adult immediately!" ...they then proceed to nod at the camera knowingly. * In one early morning commercial on [[Nickelodeon]], Katara from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' gives a lecture about swimming safety, and how you should always have an adult around. This is a ''horribly'' [[Broken Aesop]] considering these are the kids who do everything with the oldest member being fifteen, from world travel, to swimming, to fighting, to [[Refuge in Audacity\|completely unpunished]] [[Flopsy\|insurance fraud]]. Also [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|Toph farts in the pool]]. ** You should also keep in mind that when you have characters who can [[Making a Splash\|control the very water]] around them, and [[Healing Hands\|heal you]] if you do get hurt, drowning is probably not high on their list of worries.
