{{quote|''[[It Makes Sense in Context|Abraham Lincoln]]'': It doesn't matter. What does matter is you need to believe in yourself!
''Finn'': NEVER! }}
** In one episode, Finn tries to make everyone happy by fixing all their problems for them, but discovers it's impossible, because there's too many problems to fix and solving one always means making a different one worse. Then Jake asks, "What do YOU want, Finn?" and of course the viewer expects Finn to have an aesop and realize that he can't please everybody all the time. There's a pause, then Finn proceeds to fix everyone's problems and make everyone happy anyway.
* In ''[[American Dad]]'', Stan's realization of his dream, becoming his boss Avery Bullock's [[Number Two]], results in his unreasonably imposing on, and neglecting, Francine. Every time she tells him he must finally say "no" to Bullock, Stan immediately breaks his promise. When he finally "gets" the "stand up for yourself" [[Aesop]], it's at the worst possible moment, when Bullock is shot and tells him to call for help. Stan ignores him and walks away even after Francine assures him it's okay to say "yes" this one time.

* One episode of ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' had Frylock spending the entire episode saying too much TV was bad for you. In the end, however, he purchases a brand new television set for the house, which leads to this exchange:

Line 466 ⟶ 463:
* ''[[Brandy and Mr. Whiskers]]'': At the end of one episode, they were asked 'What did you Learn today?' Unable to think of anything to say to fill the twenty-five seconds left of the episode, (and to keep Mr. Whiskers from dancing) the pair decides to say everything that they ''didn't'' learn. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
{{quote|"...I didn't learn the [[True Meaning of Christmas]]."}}
* ''[[Plasticine Crow]]'' starts with an attempt to tell [[Lost Aesop|that old fable about the crow and the fox]] - and [[Shaggy Frog Story|eventually]] arrives to the triumphantly sung morale "which will understand not only an adult, but even a baby!" (and indeed, demonstrated via everything being made of plasticine): "don't stand, don't jump, don't sing, don't dance where construction goes on or a weight hangs".
