History Main / DoubleAesop

* In ''Series/{{Castle}}'', especially in earlier seasons, Rick would regularly get something from his daughter that he can apply to his own problems. One notable example is the season 2 pilot: Alexis complains about her friend who stood her up, and asks why is it that boys never apologise. Castle was recently thrown out of the team by Beckett for something he did in the end of season 1 — so, he realises that apologising is something he should have done first.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'', Emmet learns than growing up doesn't mean becoming a tough and rude person, but rather, accepting that everything is not awesome, while Lucy learns to embrace more her cheerfulness rather than her toughness.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'', Emmet learns than growing up doesn't mean becoming a tough and brude person, but rather, accepting that everything is not awesome, while Lucy learns to embrace more her cheerfulness rather than her toughness.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{TheLegoMovie2:TheSecondPart|2019}}'', Emmet learns than growing up doesn't mean becoming a tough and brude person, but rather, accepting that everything is not awesome, while Lucy learns to embrace more her cheerfulness rather than her toughness.

** In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom Part 2]]'', Discord learns that [[TitleDrop friendship truly is magic]] [[spoiler:after losing both]], and Twilight learns that [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower friendship is more important than the combined magic of all the alicorn princesses]].

** In one episode Cartman fakes mental retardation to enter the Junior Special Olympics. Though he loses, Cartman receives a trophy for showing the most "spirit." Jimmy (who has been taking steroids to win) becomes enraged, until he realizes that his actions are NotSoDifferent, leading him to confess and give up his own trophy. (The judges and crowds watching are so impressed by Jimmy's sudden honesty that [[HonestAxe they actually cheer him, and it is implied that he will ''not'' be disqualified from competing next year]].) Of course, in this as well as many cases, the "Double" part gets a subversion -- [[JerkAss Cartman]] never ''really'' learns a thing.

* In one episode of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother,'' Robin is explaining the events of the previous week to a psychiatrist, who keeps telling her to stick to the A-Plot and stop bringing up the [[PlotParallelism B-Plot.]] At the end of the story, Ted tells her what he's learned from the B-Plot, to which she [[UnreliableNarrator replies]] that she's going to go and apply this to her own life. Naturally, the psychiatrist [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.

* Along with its infamous anti-vaccine message, ''Literature/MelaniesMarvelousMeasles'' has a message about how staying hydrated and having plenty of vitamin A is good for you.

* There's one in ''Disney/MulanII''. Shang learns that one should follow one's heart but it can be argued that Mulan also learns a lesson by discovering that following one's heart without minding one's duties may potentially lead to a tragedy.
* The song "Fixer Upper" in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''. The trolls are singing about a potential romantic relationship with Kristoff, but the song applies perfectly to Anna's sisterly relationship with Elsa as well.

* Every Episode of WesternAnimation/SpecialAgentOso has this.

** A double Aesop was also in effect when Buffy realized that her inability to accept that Willow was [[spoiler: in a lesbian relationship]] was every bit as ridiculous as Riley's intolerance of Willow's former [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] boyfriend.
