Tyrant Takes the Helm: Difference between revisions

** One episode sees King Bob preoccupied with a biographer, leaving his usually reliable assistants to handle affairs of the playground. When there's issue they're not sure how to resolve, they come upon rules created by one King Mortie. This seems to work out, but the rules become increasingly bizarre. (Turns out Mortie was of the Depression-era and his rules were to ensure poor kids would always have something to play with.) T.J. and company want things to go back to normal, but King Bob's assistants get a little too comfortable dictating rules and effectively establish a secret police to enforce things. But don't worry, King Bob sets everything straight.

* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', a series of pranks in "Eye for an Eye" escalates to Vlad {{spoiler|becoming Mayor of Amity Park and him doing this.}} Eventually things went back to being (relatively) normal.

* Subverted twice on ''[[The Simpsons]]'', when surly assistant superintendent Leopold stomps up to the podium in Springfield Elementary's assembly hall, snarls something to the effect of "things are going to be ''very, very'' different around here", then cheerily introduces a much more endearing individual as the replacement faculty member. The first time is in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" when announcing Ned Flanders as replacement principal, and the second time is in "The PTA Disbands" with Marge Simpson becoming a substitute teacher.

** Inverted in "My Sister, My Sitter." After Lisa proves herself a reliable babysitter for the neighborhood, Homer and Marge leave her in charge when they go out. Lisa tries to be fair, but Bart (hating the idea of being babysat by his ''little'' sister) is as difficult as possible. After a series of pranks, he winds up breaking his arm in a fall. Naturally, [[It Got Worse]] from there.
