** Which actually makes sense if you consider the SpongeBoB Squarepants movie to be the ending. If you compare the movie to the pre-movie episode you find that a lot of things don't make sense, such as Spongebob considered an "kid" when in pre-2005 episode he appears to be somewhat childish but a well-likable person, yet everyone in Bikini Bottom called him an asswhole("A goofball, a wingnut and a KNUCKLE-HEAD McSpamitron!"), also the Pre-movie plankton doesn't seen like he's will to go overboard and MIND CONTROL EVERYONE in BIKINI BOTTOM and KILL HIS RIVAL(sure they hate each other in the Buisness department but doesn't seem like they would kill each other). Then the post-movie episode comes out and slowly but surely we see the events that lead up to the movie. As Mr.Krabs becomes more greedy and cross the MoralEventHorizon Plankton snaps from a AffiablyEvil/PunchClockVillian to an AxCrazy/Chessmaster in order to get back at Mr.Krabs. While everyone in Bikini Bottom becomes sick of Spongebob's ridiculous, often cataclysmic antics.

* While the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1980s animated version]] of the [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtles]] were always wisecracking heroes who would [[NoFourthWall occasionally break the fourth wall]], they overdid it a bit in ''TurtlesForever'', much to the chagrin of their [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2k3 counterparts]]. The movie even goes as far as to {{lampshade}} their version of April O'Neil's habit of [[DistressedDamsel getting kidnapped a lot]] to point that one of the turtles make the claim that they "save April at least once a day".
** TurtlesForever flanderized '80s Shredder and Krang in just a couple of scenes. In the first half when the '80s Shredder is seen, he seems to genuinely want to kill the Turtles and isn't afraid to use deadly force (incompent maybe but still deadly in intent), and in frustration to kill them he summons his 2k3 counterpart. But by the second half he is whining over petty things and devolved into a HarmlessVillain.
** Baxter Stockman's amalgamation with a fly in the episode "Enter: The Fly" lowered his intelligence and put holes in his memory, but he was still able to perform fairly complex tasks, and put one of his previous inventions to use. Towards the end of the following season in "Bye Bye, Fly," he was even able to set an elaborate trap for Krang and Shredder. But his intelligence dropped in each of his appearances in Seasons 4-7. In "Son of Return of the Fly, Part II," he was easily distracted from his villainous plans by things like sugar. In "Landlord of the Flies," he [[TooDumbtoLive sent a swarm of flies to engulf the Technodrome in Antarctica with obvious results]]. In his final appearance, "Revenge of the Fly," his distractions were so bad that he couldn't carry out the steps of his revenge scheme without getting constant reminders and pointers.

** The protagonits had their fair share,too. Omi began with an arrogance typical of a kid his age, but eventually it grew so disproportionate it inflated his head in one episode. Dojo's close relationship with Master Fung started going in the direction of his being a servant of the latter until it grew almost to the point of HoYay.
* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'', mainly his intelligence. It's different in each episode (for example, he's smarter than usual in 'Haunted Castle', and his main problem in 'The Boat', where he actually almost pulled off an ObfuscatingStupidity-esque stunt but got caught at the last second, was that he suspected EVERYONE and thus didn't find the real bad guys in time), but the trend is as follows: He started off as InspectorOblivious, progressing to TheDitz and then TooDumbToLive. His pride and vanity are exaggerated as the series progresses, too.
** Gadget's stupidity and obliviousness were taken UpToEleven where spin offs like ''GadgetAndTheGadgetinis'' were concerned.
* Characters/BugsBunny in ''TheLooneyTunesShow'' seemed to go through some reverse Flanderization, as he is now usually more down to earth to the point of sometimes being the OnlySaneMan.

** Lola has been flanderized (some would say [[TropesAreNotBad for the better]]) from her debut in ''Film/SpaceJam'' due to complaints her of her being a MarySue, to the point now where, depending on the episode, she's either a CloudCuckoolander or TheDitz, she's still a StalkerWithACrush in either form.
** Played sadly straight wih DaffyDuck, who took levels in [[TookALevelInDumbass stupidity]] and [[TookALevelInJerkass jerkiness]] to the point of having almost ''no'' truly redeeming aspects (except for a ''very'' rare JerkWithAHeartOfGold moment every now and then), also being made the StrawLoser compared to Bugs. And he's getting WORSE.
* Roger's affinity for costumes and dress up acts in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', to the point some [[BecomingTheMask take over]] [[FunnySchizophrenia his personality]]. His Jerkass traits also initially just came with [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} the quirkiness]] of his personality and were much more toned down. As time progressed, his callousness is canonically accepted as his defining trait (to the point [[InTheBlood he'll actually die]] [[ThePowerOfHate without acting consistantly cruel]]). Most of his complexities from early episodes such as his loneliness and the fact he is an ''extra terrestrial'' are barely refered to in favor of making him essentially a cross dressing version of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]].

*** Hayley seems to have suffered an almost Reverse-Flanderization: In the beginning, she was always expressing her leftist views; as the series went on, she was seen less and less, and when she was seen, she would just be used to deliver exposition, or as the butt of jokes with her husband Jeff.
* In the earlier ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'' original web cartoon, [[TheFool Charlotte]] was a [[CheerfulChild very optimistic]] NaiveNewcomer who tried to see the best in everything and everyone, albeit with a scant sense of logic and a few realistic dislikes every little girl would have. Later in the web series and in the TV series, she is a virtually indestructible [[ThePollyAnna PollyAnna]] IdiotHoudini, and "Tee hee!" with other exclaimations of joy have become her {{Verbal Tic}}s instead of her catchphrases. The only thing that shuts off her smile is when she hears a poem about a cat in danger, [[AssPull for no reason other than to the inconvenience of Vendetta.]] Vendetta, the VillainProtagonist, had less of this than Charlotte, but she went from a narcissistic [[CardCarryingVillain card-carrying]] bully with supernatural abilities to a stereotypical villain who abuses the EvilLaugh (which was originally an occasional [[GigglingVillain giggle]]), and her obsession with [[TrademarkFavoriteFood clams]] goes all the way to the name of the town. However, this was probably all deliberate to make the girls bigger [[{{Foil}} foils]] of each other.
