Line 138:
* "The Ember Island Players" in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' is an in-series example where just about everyone is absorbed by some single trait, often a comparatively minor one that [[Character Development|they may not even have anymore]].
* In the books, [[Basil of Baker Street]] is a bit eccentric and prone to sudden bursts of energy.

** Another extreme example is his pal Patrick who was merely a bit slow witted and [[Book Dumb]] and he was prone to extreme fits of rage when he had his feelings hurt, but in the later episodes he is just about the stupidest cartoon character you would see on tv and he often has fits of rage attacking things and people for no particular reason.
** And what about Mr. Krabs? In the earlier episodes, Mr. Krabs was greedy and money-hungry, but he was also fairly wise and did realize when he'd gone too far (an example is the episode "Born Again Krabs"). Now, he's just a selfish [[Jerkass|jerk]] who basically doesn't care for the welfare of his employees and is also extremely competitive, as shown in "Plankton's Regular", when he couldn't bear letting Plankton have ''one single customer''! He even goes so far as to drive Plankton to suicide when he discovers Plankton is afraid of whales.
