Trope Workshop:Antithesis Aesop

This is a Trope Workshop page, still under consideration for creation. Help out by editing the current page, or leave a comment on the Talk page. Trope Workshop Guidelines

An episode ending with An Aesop is standard writing, the problem is that the Aesop delivered completely contradicts the Aesop delivered in an earlier episode.

This trope is basically and out of universe version of Became Their Own Antithesis and often seen in long running series once the characters become more and more of an Author Avatar.

Western Animation

• In the "Uh Oh, Canada" episode of King of the Hill Canadians are treated as Acceptable Targets and depicted as the most negative stereotype possible. However in the earlier "The Company Man" Eventually, Hank gets sick of it and tells the guy off.
• The Simpsons (animation): "The Great Wife Hope" is pretty much a Recycled Script of "Itchy And Scratchy Vs. Marge" where Marge tries to censor an form of entertainment that she doesn’t like. However the major difference is that in the later she is called out for her hypocrisy in for praising one form of art while condemning another and shows that Both Sides Have a Point. In the later however Marge is simply Right for the Wrong Reasons and doesn’t even really give a reason for her dislike of Mixed Martial Arts beyond Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence. This is especially hypocritical on the writers point since they call out people who go after their show yet treat whoever they disagree with as a one-note Straw Character.
