Line 50:
*** They eventually decided they wanted diamonds ''and'' the Destructo-Beam. '''''BIZARRO!'''''
* In the ''[[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]]'' episode "Dr. Beetle and Mr. Juice", the titular ghost invents a cologne that makes anyone exposed to it behave in a manner opposite to how they usually would.
* An episode of ''[[The Secret Saturdays]]'' has a magic mirror bring The Mondays, their [[Evil Counterpart|evil counterparts]] from a [[Mirror Universe]], into their world. Each of them has their personalities reversed ''and'' some physical difference to tell them apart. In addition, they are supposed to be made of Anti-Matter, which causes reality to go crazy every time one of the characters approached his or her counterpart. (Actually, if they were made of antimatter [[Did Not Do the Research|they would have exploded like nuclear bombs the moment they entered the positive universe]].)
* A ''[[Futurama]]'' episode, "The Farnsworth Parabox", features a Bizarro univere where the cast's counterparts have identical personalities but most have a different color scheme.
** There is a difference, the results of coin flips are opposite of the other universe which create new scenarios if the coin flip leads to an important event. Bizarro Fry and Leela got married, while the Professor has a scar from removing his own brain.
Line 57:
** The characters (of both worlds!) [[Wrong Genre Savvy|originally assume]] that the other world is a [[Mirror Universe]] and begin fighting. ([[Fearful Symmetry|hilariously]])
*** "[[Fearful Symmetry|Perfectly symmetrical violence never solves anything!]]"
* An episode of ''[[Recess]]'' had the main character go to another school for a kickball game. Gus takes notices of the similarities to their school before they face their opponents. Which are near clear cut copies of themselves--except TJ's a girl.
* Orko's home world in ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|He Man and The Masters of The Universe]]'' was like this. Because everything, including the laws of magic were screwed up, Prince Adam had to say [[By the Power of Greyskull|"Greyskull of power the by!"]] in order to transform into He Man.
Line 118:
** Feldman apparently has several ideas for inventions that are both new and useful, but dismisses them as "not practical", whereas Kramer's ideas fall into two categories: bad ideas, and good ideas he claims were stolen from him.
** Feldman knocks on the door to Kevin's apartment, rather than barging in as Kramer would, and actually brings Kevin groceries.
** They also play the Seinfeld theme backwards near the end.
** Let us not forget Bizarro Newman (named Fargas). He and Bizarro Jerry are good friends, and Fargas is a FedEx delivery man.
** The last scene has the [[No Hugging No Learning|three hugging each other]] and Bizarro Jerry saying, "Me so happy. Me want to cry," just as Bizarro in the comics would say.

* The two most famous are from [[DC Comics]]: [[Trope Namers|Bizarro World]] and the Crime Syndicate of America (or sometimes Amerika).
** Bizarro World is a planet (or sometimes a universe) that works on Bizarro logic, where everything is opposite of Earthly ways (the planet itself is actually a cube and named "Htrae"). Bizarro World in the [[Silver Age]] had a law stating it was a crime to do anything good or make anything pretty or to do things correctly. This was instituted by Bizarro #1 after Lois Lane called him a hideous, and backwards "Bizzaro" [[Superman]]. The inhabitants actually rejected the first Bizarro baby because it was perfect by human standards, then tried to get it back when they found out it would turn Bizarro three days after it was born. ''[[All Star DC Comics|All-Star Superman]]'' introduced "Zibarro," who was like a Bizarro on Bizarro World. That is, he was a normal person.
*** What's weird about it too was, Bizarro was supposed to have originated because the duplicator ray just couldn't handle duplicating Superman, but later this was changed so that everything duplicated was a Bizarro style duplicate. Remember, Lex Luthor built the original.
Line 147:
*** Another version of this morality-swapped universe is the post-[[Infinite Crisis]] Earth-3, featuring the Crime Society of America, which differs slightly from the antimatter version. It's supposed to be the morality-swapped version of Earth-2, while the antimatter universe is the morality-swapped version of the main Earth.
** An issue of ''[[Cartoon Network Presents]]'' featured a tribute to Bizarro World in the form of a story where Peter Potamus visits a pyramid-shaped version of it, inhabited by Bizarro versions of [[Hanna-Barbera]] cartoon characters (among them: a [[Yogi Bear]] who would rather clean up Jellystone Park than steal picnic baskets, a Mr. Peebles that does not want to sell [[Magilla Gorilla]], and a [[Wally Gator]] who wants to stay at the zoo).
* [[Requiem Chevalier Vampire]] Takes it to it's most [[Hell of a Time|hellish]] extreme: Where the sea was on Earth there is now land, and likewise for the oceans. Instead of growing older people regress in age, until they turn into foetuses and are then entirely forgotten, and most integreally to the plot, the more cruel a person was in life, the better they are rewarded in death...
* The [[Mirror Universe]] of Moebius in the [[Archie Comics]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series also has some Bizarro elements, besides the morality flip. A pacifist, Irish-accented Knuckles guards the Sunken Island, and instead of the rare and powerful [[Mineral MacGuffin|Chaos Emeralds]] there is a bountiful supply of Anarchy Beryl, which gives [[Power At a Price]] (Sonic figures this out in an impressive moment of [[Genre Savvy]]).
* ''[[Transformers]]'' features the "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]" universe, where heroic Decepticons fight evil Autobots.
