* The DrSeuss book is briefly referenced in ''TheAmericanPresident'', when President Sheppard comments that his Secretary of State, and longtime best friend A.J. constantly addresses him as Mr. President;

** Of course, since ABC was owned by Disney at the time, this could also count as a blaintent example of ProductPlacement.

* Many would be inclined to think that ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' would be just like its previous generations of the series. The name is, after Barbie, perhaps, practically synonymous with frilly, fruity, girly TV series and toys. But when they watch it, well... let's just say that there's a reason the largest demographic of the show is 18-24 year old males.

*** FriendshipIsMagic still has a significant hatedom due to some fans' (known as "bronies") obsession with the show. Some of the hatedom hate the fans for Rule34-ing what really is a show for young girls, some people hate them because they feel they're just some weird, pony-focused subclass of furries, and some people hate them for pretty much taking over the Internet due to mass-pony spamming. It's the #1 most popular meme on Know Your Meme, beating out "Forever Alone" by several thousand.

* Many people who enjoyed the ''HarryPotter'' series started out refusing to read the books or see the movies on general principle, only to get hooked when circumstances caused them to flip through a book.

** Despite HypeBacklash and HypeAversion often happening; this was mostly what happened after 4chan mods banned ponies being posted.

* MahouSenseiNegima has an interesting variation in [[MetaGuy Chisame]], who goes to extraordinary lengths not to accept the existence of magic, despite all the other characters telling her about how awesome it is. When she finally ''does'' get away from the madness, she realizes that her life is too boring, so she heads right back. And promptly starts complaining about it again.
* In the [[TheRemake New]] DoctorSlump, there's a couple of chained episodes which Arale, Katchan, Akane, and Peasuke visit King Nikochan's planet, where white radishes are the famous food. Peasuke, being very picky about what he eats, says he hate them, but after Akane forces him to eat one, he ends up loving them.

-> ''I do not like Green Eggs and Ham. I do not eat them, Sam I Am.''

* A common plot involving real or made up GameShowAppearence episodes: one character will think a GameShow or [[LotteryTicket lottery drawing]] is stupid, silly, and/or pointless and will generally become the one to get obsessed by it.

** ''I know I'm going to hate it! Uh, oh, I ate it!...yum.''

* Inversion: Quite a few members of ''{{Twilight}}'''s {{hatedom}} are former fans. [[FridgeLogic Presumably, they switched on the way to the fridge.]]

* NASCAR tends to have this effect on people once they attend a race in person.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a movie or a play... it can be anything. It can even be a food, such as, well...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin green eggs and ham]].

** Also parodied in the YoutubePoop ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr7OAAP-4-g Green Eggs and Eggs]]'', where the main character eats the titular foodstuff halfway through, then spends the rest of the video [[FreudWasRight demanding sex]] from [[strike: Sam-I-Am]] [[MemeticMutation Chadwarden]].

* An episode of ''HeyArnold'' actually includes both a subversion and usage of the trope through and through. The girls around the school are all raving about a singer who's coming to town. Except for Helga and Phoebe. Helga isn't even into the singer and thinks he's stupid, while Phoebe is actually a closet fan. (A ''huge'' fan at that, she had posters of him all over her room) Then Phoebe and Helga win a chance to see him in concert and meet him afterwards. After meeting him as a person, Phoebe experiences FanDisillusionment and starts to dislike him, while Helga meanwhile just ''loves'' him and thinks he's the greatest person ever.
