** The episode "Lisa the Drama Queen" has a particularly [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: "[[Crapsack World|The real world is supposed to suck, deal with it, and any form of escapism or fantasy is wrong]]." As was mentioned elsewhere, some anvils need to be [[Unfortunate Implications|left in the blacksmith shop]]. |

** The episode "The Monkey Suit" in which Lisa fights against Ned Flanders in the evolutionism/creationism debate can be seen to fall into this category. Not only does it present a very [[Hollywood Science]] view of the evolution debate, but it portrays every Christian character as being arrogant, [[Straw Hypocrite|close-minded fanatics with no capacity to even acknowledge other people's views]]. Also when [[Hollywood Atheist|Lisa]] holds the secret evolution lessons, the people there are her, Martin and Database ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|Milhouse is there too, but he doesn't count]]) - in other words, the "smart" people, implying that one cannot be clever if one believes in creationism. |

* In an episode of ''[[Wakfu (Animation)|Wakfu]]'' Sadlygrove gets kidnapped by a quartet of princesses who were cursed; for being bitchy and shallow, they were turned various varieties of ugly, and would remain so until they inspired a man to give one of them a genuine kiss. Any man that kissed them under duress would be turned into a frog, and also the curse wouldn't be broken. Their tower is ''full of frogs''. The [[Beauty Equals Goodness|least deformed]] of the four eventually has an attack of conscience and lets Grovy go before the other three can force him to kiss them like they did the others, and, moved by the honor he sees in her heart, he blows her a kiss, which is totally good enough for the curse. Then they go right back to the behavior that got them cursed in the first place. So...once a shallow bitch, always a shallow bitch? |
