* The ending of [[PDQ Bach]]'s ''Oedipus Tex'':
{{quote|Well the moral of the story is, of course:
Don't [[Parental Incest|love your mother]], pardner, [[But You Screw One Goat!|save it for your horse]].
I guarantee you will be filled with great remorse
If you give your mom the love you should be saving for your horse! }}
* (Could also be a case of [[Space Whale Aesop]]) There is a 16th century French farce which goes as follows: An alchemist arrives to a village and proclaims that he can remelt old men and make them young again. The old crones of the village convince their husbands to try the [[Applied Phlebotinum|alchemist's foundry]]. They come out of it [[Fountain of Youth|rejuvenated]]... and immediately dump their wrinkled wives and start chasing young girls. The moral of the play? "God save you from the idea to remelt your husbands".

* ''[[Adventure Time]]'' the original short.
{{quote|''[[It Makes Sense in Context|Abraham Lincoln]]'': It doesn't matter. What does matter is you need to believe in yourself!
''Finn'': NEVER! }}
Line 375:
** In the episode "Once Upon A Time Warp", Roy is convinced that he should pay Wade the $5 owed him by a rocket that homes in on the pilot's debtors. When the rocket disappears, Roy takes the money back, but then Orson finds his book of prehistoric monsters:
{{quote|'''Orson:''' As you can see, kids, there's a lesson to be learned from this story.
'''Roy:''' Yeah. You don't repay money you owe, [[Space Whale Aesop|a dinosaur squishes your head]].
'''Orson:''' That's pretty much it. }}
** In one episode, Jon, Garfield and Odie go to Doc Boy's farm. Doc is proud of running an efficient operation, and to Garfield's horror he has no TV, because he thinks that would make things inefficient. While he's away, Garfield signs the farm up for cable. Now at this point the most likely moral would be "Doc learns that, in moderation, TV is okay" (or possibly "Garfield learns it's wrong to sign other people up for things they'll be expected to pay for without asking them"). Instead, this being [[Mark Evanier]], we get "Doc Boy learns watching TV does indeed make farm animals lazy and inefficient, but that's okay because you can win Big Cash Prizes, and not ''need'' to work."
