* A [[Broken Aesop]] that ''immediately'' [[Lampshade Hanging|has a lampshade hung on its own brokenness]]. Sometimes, this can lead to [[Aesop Ju Jitsu]] (as above), or a character pointing out that the ''opposite'' of the lesson--often doing something immoral, or sometimes simply something neutral and logical--would avoid any trouble and thus nullifies the lesson.
When adding examples, bear in mind that just because a work is [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche|a spoof]] and has [[An Aesop]], it's not necessarily a [[Spoof Aesop]]

** From the same comic: [http://www.drunkduck.com/Stickman_and_Cube/index.php?p=256280 "Never invade Stickman and Cube, or the author will drop an infinity-tonne weight on you."]

* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', chapter 15, Antimony and Kat see that Red has become estranged from her friend, Blue; they blame her acerbic personality, but [[Minor Flaw, Major Breakup|Red blames her hair]]. Annie and Kat humor her by taking her to get a haircut, but they also tell Red that it will take more than new hair to win her friend back. Then {{spoiler|the new haircut ''does'' win Blue back. So the real lesson is that [[The Fair Folk|fairies are capricious and weird]].Or alternatively, "No one is too happy to wang (throw) tomatoes".}}
** Also one presented in [[The Rant]] for [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=224 this strip]:

'''Raven:''' So, I guess there really is no lesson.<br />
'''Cyborg:''' Yep, it was all completely meaningless.<br />
'''Everyone:''' {{[[["Everybody Laughs" Ending]] forced laughter}}]<br />
'''SFX:''' {{[[[Laugh Track]] canned laughter}}] }}
** "The moral of this story? Never make a deal with an interdimensional [[Our Demons Are Different|demon]] without a little protection." Something we should all take to heart.
Line 458:
* In the ''[[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' episode "Powerless!" [[Captain Atom]], after acting like a [[Smug Super]], [[Brought Down to Normal|loses his super powers]] and has to save the day by being brave and using his brain. At the end of the episode, he is asked if he has learned his lesson. Cut to him telling kids that he now knows that non-powered humans are the most fragile and pathetic beings on Earth.
* In an episode of ''[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]'', Cow writes a play called "The Ugliest Weenie", about a misshapen hot dog who gets mocked by [[All of the Other Reindeer]] (except for the heroine). The final song talks about how "It's Good To Be Ugly After All"...because normal-looking hot dogs [[Nightmare Fuel|get roasted over a fire and eaten]].
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life (Animation)|Rocko's Modern Life]]'' ended their [[Green Aesop]]/[[Musical Episode]] "Zanzibar" with the message "So you see, kids, if we're not nice to Mother Nature... [[
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' ends almost every single episode with Twilight (or as of season two, one of the others) writing a lesson to Princess Celestia about what they learned. The episode "Super Cider Squeezy 6000" gives this chance to Applejack, who goes with this;
{{quote| '''Applejack''': Dear Princess Celestia, I wanted to share my thoughts with you. Eh hem- ''([[Beat]])'' I didn't learn anything! Heh, I was right all along!}}
