Line 248:
* In [[Kingdom of Loathing]], low-quality booze gives one very few adventures, and some even does Stench/ Sleaze damage, and takes one forever to get drunk off of. Only go for the good stuff.
* When you complete all of [[Brutal Legend]]'s Overslaughter side-quests, the Hunter leaves with: "Whenever you kill something, a part of you dies. A tiny, pathetic little part of you that you didn't need anyway." (paraphrased)
* It's more than likely that [[Mortal Kombat|Jade]] is kidding when she gives [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgt4xMTsqrc this advice]. At least, it's probably best to assume that she is...

Line 411:
*** So 8 year old kids ''should'' buy companies on everaged credit?
**** Well, they'd do less damage than a lot of the adults.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' frequently makes use of spoof Aesops. One memorable instance occurs at the conclusion of an episode where Lisa has persuaded [[Bill Clinton]] to issue an executive order overturning the results of an elementary school band competition;
{{quote|'''Clinton''': If something doesn't go right, just complain until you get what you want.
'''Marge''': That's a pretty lousy lesson.
Line 430:
** In the South Park episode where Stan and Cartman break a dam and the ensuing Hurricane Katrina inspired chaos leads the town to blame it all on various things, from global warming, to terrorists to Crab people. At the end of the episode Stan has had enough and states "I broke the dam!" Everyone takes this metaphorically though, in that they ''all'' broke the dam, and all begin repeating [[I Am Spartacus|"I broke the dam!"]] to Stan's annoyance.
* Done in every episode of the short-lived cartoon ''Spacecats''. In an unfortunate [[Irony]], the first such lesson was [[Logic Bomb|"Don't watch cartoons. They will rot your brain."]] The cartoon aired on NBC the year the network decided to replace its Saturday morning cartoon lineup with an expanded morning news show.
* In the [[Trapped in TV Land]] episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' (Control Freak gets into the television and starts hypnotizing the viewers, so they have to go in there and stop him), at the end of the episode we're treated to this exchange not unlike ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''', above:
{{quote|'''Robin:''' So, I guess it is bad to watch too much TV.
'''Starfire:''' But, we were only victorious because Beast Boy watches too much the television.
