* The whole point of ''{{Thundercats}}''. Seriously. This was during the time when cartoons where the scourge of the Earth and were corrupting kids (in the same way that Comic Books did before and Video Games are now ... oh wait!), so the producers sat down and said that every episode must have a moral, and they ''actually hired a child psychologist'' to help them write the stories.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}}'' continues this out of tradition, with a discernible lesson in most of its episodes.

** In "Chinpokomon," Stan delivers an aesop to Kyle to stop him from bombing Pearl Harbor, saying he shouldn't conform. Kyle uses the aesop to justify going ahead with the bombing, so Stan delivers a second aesop completely contradicting his earlier speech.
** Another subversion is "The Entity", where the kids try to pull their usual "I've learned something today..." Aesop speech, only for it to die out several times when they realize that, no, they actually haven't learned anything this time.
** DefiedTrope in RealLife in "201" when the entire Aesop, spoken by three people, was bleeped out by the network prior to airing, which may be some of the saddest irony in the history of the show.
