18Hello! Hello! How are you all doing today? How are the kids?
19
20All right, [[AsYouKnow you all know how to play the game]]! Contestants will take a piece of {{media}}... and, through a number of [[SelectiveObliviousness deliberate misunderstandings]], a few {{Alternate Character Interpretation}}s, a [[LogicalFallacies fallacy]] or two, [[TwistingTheWords taking some things out of context]], [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic assuming that everything presented was meant to be taken as instructional and serious]], [[BrokenAesop identifying moments that dilute and/or undermine what was actually being taught]], [[CluelessAesop finding morals that were handled haphazardly]], and reading in more than a little {{Fanon}}, make it seem like the creators were attempting to deliver a terrible, ''terrible'' [[AnAesop message to the kids at home...]] no matter how [[AssPull utterly off-base]] it is!
21
22But, before we begin, let's just go over the three rules of the game, shall we? RuleNumberOne! Make sure to read the above paragraph before adding an example. Rule #2! This is ''not'' {{Headscratchers/Headscratchers}} [[{{Recycled IN SPACE}} with a sarcastic tone]], and if you think it is, GetOut. And, last but not least, ''rule #3!'' This page is '''JustForFun'''; serious attempts at finding a moral, and RealLife examples will be ''purged''. Oh, and remember, folks, '''[[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike complaining and whining will not be tolerated]]''', and will only land you in one of two places: [[EjectionSeat 10,000 meters into the air]], or [[TrapDoor in the dumpster behind the studio]].
23
24...and whatever you do, don't change the channel to [[SugarWiki/SweetExists Sugar Wiki]] for SugarWiki/SweetenThatAesop or the Neutral Zone for JustForFun/BoilThatAesop. And ''don't'' mix this show up with JustForFun/ThingsWeHaveLearntFromMedia -- that's just facts, this show is about 'truths' and principles. Change to our sister channel, the Administrivia/TVTropesForum for [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15977474130A24729100 That's an awful Hindsight shoehorn]], where you can connect all sorts of coincidences and see how LifeImitatesArt!
25
26Ok, now that we've got all of ''that'' out of the way, first to [[Every10000Points 10,000 points]] gets [[OneUp an extra life]][[note]]to replace the one [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife you ruined]][[/note]], a copy of our HomeGame, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Rice-A-Roni]], the San Francisco treat!

55[[folder:Advertising]]
56* In General:
57** [[Film/TheyLive OBEY. CONSUME. STAY ASLEEP. SUBMIT.]]
58** Ads for harmful things like cigarettes are a thing of the past. Surely these days ads tell nothing but the truth and wouldn’t dream of persuading one to consume something that is harmful to their body.
59** Only those who are rich enough to pay for premium accounts deserve to be free from the constant subliminal messaging that permeates all of society.
60** You are absolutely hideous. If you don’t look like a photoshopped supermodel you need to buy hundreds of beauty products so that people don’t vomit at the sight of you.
61** People who consume fast food, candy, and soda look like healthy athletes and supermodels. If you are overweight and unhealthy, it must just be you.
62* Advertising/AppleAndCinnaMon: Fruit is nasty and evil, only eat [[ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs sugar for breakfast]].
63** Post-[[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness 2007]]: Fruit flavoring is a perfectly healthy substitute for actual fruit.
64* ''Advertising/BonesCoffee'': Vampires love jelly donuts, Aliens love ice cream, and making either of them into coffee flavors is a guarantee to keep them from killing their human employers.
65* ''Advertising/TheBurgerKing'': Make sure your mascot is horrifically creepy. That way, meme-culture can do all the advertising for you.
66* Advertising/CharlieTheTuna: Someone who repeatedly begs you to [[ICannotSelfTerminate kill]] him and [[LetsMeetTheMeat eat his corpse]] is completely sane, but you should still eat other corpses instead because they taste better.
67* ''Chick-fil-A'': Eating fried chicken means you hate the gays.
68** ''Advertising/ChickFilACows'': Meat is murder, but only if it's beef. Screw the chickens[[note]][[BestialityIsDepraved NOT LITERALLY!]] Dear god![[/note]].
69*** Cows are super-racist against chickens and are plotting for genocide.
70*** To prevent the slaughter of your own species, advocate for the slaughter of another species. Might as well apply this to things like race as well.
71* Advertising/DumbWaysToDie:
72** It's ok to laugh while watching someone [[CruelAndUnusualDeath die in front of you]] if they died after [[TooDumbToLive doing something really stupid]].
73** Avoid public transportation at all costs, those trains are [[SinisterSubway menaces out for your blood]].
74** If you die while holding money, you can keep it while in the afterlife.
75* Lucky Charms: Hey kids, here's a fun game to play! Chasing someone to steal something they have and you want! Even if they escape, you'll face no consequences for it whatsoever!
76* ''UsefulNotes/McDonalds'': Your restaurant can make any kind of food regardless of your customer base as long as you give it a cute prefix; [=McDLT=], [=McRib=], [=McPizza=], [=McNoodles=], [=McFlurry=], [=McLobster=], [=McCurry=] Pan, [=McNürnburger=], you get the Mcpicture.
77** There is nothing wrong with deliberately targeting children with extremely unhealthy food that will cause them a myriad of health issues later in life.
78** Obesity and diabetes are worth it if you get to play at an indoor playground and get a toy in your Happy Meal.
79** The only way to keep your child happy is gradual artery clogging.
80* ''Advertising/MessinWithSasquatch'':
81** If you buy Jack Link's Beef Jerky, you're TooDumbToLive.
82** [[NatureIsBoring Nature is so boring]] people will mock a killer ape monster like it was a nerd in gym class.
83* ''Advertising/MAndMs'': RuleThirtyFour really '''can''' apply to anything.
84** Only strive to make one of your mascots more politically correct when you need to distract the public from your child slavery lawsuits by manufacturing a pointless controversy.
85** Removing your mascots will cause more public outrage than [[SeriousBusiness any war]] on the globe.
86* ''Advertising/NeverSayNoToPanda'':
87** Pandas are abusive assholes.
88** Capitalist Egypt is one big ProtectionRacket and they will cut a bitch if you don't buy their products.
89* Advertising/ObeyYourThirst: ''Never'' drink anything other than Sprite.
90* Advertising/PartnershipToEndAddiction:
91** "Like Father, Like Son": If you use drugs, you are 100% guaranteed to have a child who will use drugs.
92** "Final Lesson": Cool, you taught your daughter to ride a bike, build a telescope, and become a pro tennis player! Oh, what's that? She's thirteen and you haven't taught her not to use drugs yet? Congratulations, now she's a crack addict being taken away in an ambulance! Good job!
93** "Faces": The worst physical side effect of drug addiction is wrinkles.
94** "Puppet Boy": One puff on a joint is enough to kill you.
95** "Brainwaves": Marijuana users have brain activity on par with coma patients. Definitely accurate.
96* ''Advertising/{{Pepsiman}}'':
97** Getting [[AmusingInjuries seriously maimed is funny]] if the person getting hurt is SerkisFolk. [[FantasticRacism Check your privilege, meat-spacers!]]
98** If your SuperHero is so lame that he gets himself seriously maimed every time he gets to the scene of the crime, make him a delivery boy and call him a GoodSamaritan.
99** Being out of Pepsi is {{serious business}}.
100* Advertising/PopTarts
101** If you eat poptarts, you are [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman a horrible person]].
102** Eating your friends alive is silly fun for everyone!
103* Progressive Insurance:
104** Sequin socks are a desired Christmas gift.
105** Muy Thai is a completely different skill set from Karate.
106** Sprinkles are for winners.
107** If you think a spokesperson is annoying, just wait until you meet their family.
108* ''Advertising/TheRealCost'':
109** Don’t smoke or you’ll be left in a freakish labyrinth to die!
110** Start [[DisobeyThisMessage smoking]] just to [[ReversePsychology spite us]], the consequences we show [[BriarPatching being]] comically [[{{Narm}} exaggerated]] means that [[BlatantLies smoking won't actually destroy your lungs]].
111* Advertising/RespectThePouch: If you do not take special care of your beverage, you deserve [[AndIMustScream infinite suffering]] as a [[ForcedTransformation subhuman freak]].
112* ''Advertising/SegataSanshiro'': If you do not buy a Sega Saturn, you deserve days of suffering in a hospital bed courtesy of Creator/HiroshiFujioka wearing a white gi.
113* ''Special K'': Being fat is the worst thing that can ever happen to you and you should never eat any junk food, even if it includes slamming a door on a child offering donuts.
114* Advertising/{{Skittles}}: If it's in bright and unnatural colors, then it is consumable.
115* Advertising/SuzyPuppy: Puppie farms manufacture cute little plushies!
116* ''Advertising/TrixRabbit'':
117** KidsAreCruel and [[FantasticRacism prejudiced against rabbits.]]
118** If you're not the target demographic of a certain product you're not allowed to buy it or even enjoy it.
119* Advertising/WilkinsCoffee
120** [[AbusiveAdvertising Drink or die]].
121** If someone doesn't like the same thing as you, it is now morally acceptable to murder them.
122* There was a commercial for Glade candles that showed a woman peeling the "Glade" label off her candle and claiming it was a fancy, expensive candle, getting foiled only by the fact that the label stuck to her skirt when she tried to throw it away. The intended message was "Glade candles are of such good quality that they could be mistaken for a more high-end candle." The message many people got from the ad was "Our customers are ashamed to admit that they use our product."

126[[AC:In-General]]
127* TrueArtIsAncient.
128* TrueArtIsAngsty.
129* TrueArtIsBoring.
130* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible.
131* The only thing that determines artistic genius is if [[AppealToPopularity enough people say it is]]. Actual adherence to the fundamentals of art has nothing to do with it.
132* Once enough people with degrees say a work is good, or that a work is bad, no one is allowed to disagree with that sentiment, ever.
133* All artistic movements were given pejorative names by people who irrationally hate them, yet fail to explain themselves, or actually say that the movement sucks. Never mind that exactly the same criticisms were made at the critics when they were younger.
134* [[ItsNotPornItsArt Public nudity is only fine if it's a mockup of a person]]. [[ValuesDissonance Sometimes]].
135* Self-Portraits: [[{{Narcissist}} Narcissism]] is integral to being a content-creator of any kind.

137
138[[AC:Movements]]
139* Abstract expressionism: Let's all make art a child could do, and say it's great.
140* Academic Art: People in the future will hate you for no reason, despite the quality of your work.
141* Art Deco: Nothing more creatively authentic than art that looks like it came off of an assembly-line
142* Art Nouveau: Any work of art that looks vaguely plant-like is therefore French.
143* Cubism: Screw you, anatomy!
144* Culture jamming:
145** Screw you, anti-vandalism laws!
146** The best way to stop capitalism is to fight propaganda with propaganda.
147* [[UsefulNotes/{{Dada}} Dadaism]]: Anything you pick up from the dump can be art if you sign your name on it. Screw you, intellectual property laws!
148* Expressionism: Screw you, coherency!
149* Fauvism: Screw you, color theory!
150* Fluxus: The results can suck monkey-fuck as long as the process of making it is interesting.
151* GermanExpressionism: Poverty can drive people crazy.

153* Impressionism: Screw you, proper technique!
154* Minimalism: TrueArtIsIncomprehensible and should exist in a vacuum. Relatability via representationalism is for uneducated pions.
155* Modern Art: Screw it, anything goes. Even if it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
156* Naive Art: Amateurs sure are stupid, huh? And even though we used to be no better, let's mock them by [[StylisticSuck making bad art on purpose!]]
157** Kitsch: Wait, the amateurs are actually good? [[{{Troll}} Let's just say they suck!]]
158* Neoclassicism: Only AncientGrome is allowed.
159* Outsider Art: You're wasting your money going to art classes and learning a craft professionally. Just start making stuff blindly and you'll magically be amazing.
160* Pop Art: Being sarcastic about commercialism is brilliant and [[SarcasmMode totally isn't hypocritical and doesn't get old after five minutes]].
161* Post-Impressionism: Impressionism wasn't that great, but we're gonna continue everything silly about it anyway.
162* Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: Paint the same woman over and over, just in different costumes.
163* Primitivism: Non-whites sure are stupid, huh?
164* SocialistRealism:
165** True Art is about [[AuthorTract promoting your ideology]] and praising your GloriousLeader.
166** All other art, even if [[NoTrueScotsman made by other communists]], is decadent, bourgeoisie, and [[GodwinsLaw possibly even]] [[HitlerAteSugar fascist]].
167* {{Surrealism}}:
168** Screw you, making sense!
169** [[AllIssuesArePoliticalIssues If you're not a communist fellow traveler,]] [[NoTrueScotsman then you're not a true surrealist even if you paint exactly like us.]][[note]]This is a reference to Dalí being ejected from the original group over politics.[[/note]]

179* ''Art/NueCouchee'': With just a few alterations, ''anyone'' can look like chunks of uncooked chicken.
180* ''Art/NymphsAndSatyr'': Revenge is awesome.
181* ''Art/TheRapeOfProserpinaBernini'': Kidnapping looks amazing.
182* ''Art/PsycheAndCupidBouguereau'': If "The Rapture of Psyche" is to be believed, being abducted by the guy who's infatuated with you is awesome!
183* ''Art/TheDreamOfTheFishermansWife'': Bestiality is okay as long as you're a woman on the receiving end.
184
185[[AC:Artists]]
186* Creator/{{Banksy}}: Vandalism is legal if it makes you famous.
187* Creator/ZdzislawBeksinski: Inflicting Political Theory onto art is a waste of time and takes all the fun out of it.
188* Creator/WilliamAdolpheBouguereau: Modern Art sucks.
189* The Guerrilla Girls: The best way to promote feminism in art is via gorilla masks.
190* Creator/TakashiMurakami: When [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible sensory]] [[TrueArtIsBoring deprivation]] is the artistic status quo, the best way to get noticed is inflicting sensory overload.
191* Jackson Pollock: You can literally throw anything on a canvas and become a national and artistic icon in the process.
192[[/folder]]
193
194[[folder:Asian Animation]]

196* ''Animation/NoonboryAndTheSuper7'':
197** Weaponize your allergies.
198** If someone wants to join your clique, deny them every chance you get, because they're not worthy. Don't even help them to be more like you and your friends, because it takes a long time.
199** "Wangury and the Windbike": Assault via [[ItMakesSenseInContext dragging someone around by their tongue]] is a justifiable retribution for stealing a bike.
200* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': Trying to feed your family is evil. Not only is it evil, it will also result in you failing and being injured.
201[[/folder]]
202
203[[folder:Fairy Tales and Folklore]]
204* ''Literature/AesopsFables'':
205** "The Boy Who Cried Wolf": If you ignore the known liar when they actually tell the truth and all your livestock is killed as a result, it's entirely their fault!
206** "The Dilemma of the Bat": Neutrality will get you shunned from society. Pick a side or you'll face the consequences.
207** "Literature/TheGrasshopperAndTheAnts": Refusal to partake in manual labor is punishable by death.
208** "Literature/TheTortoiseAndTheHare": Taking a rest during a sporting event is far more morally reprehensible than being caught using steroids.
209* ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid'': You'll meet your own true love the second you step into the outside world! Wait, you first stepped into the outside world as a newborn leaving the hospital? Good luck finding them!
210* ''Literature/TheLittleMouseTheLittleBirdAndTheSausage'': If you find forged letters on a living being, you are entitled to eat them
211* ''Literature/LittleSnowWhite'': If you see a beautiful corpse in the woods, make a servant carry it around so you can have dinner with it. Then, when they hit said heavy corpse in frustration, it just might come back to life.
212* ''Literature/TheSnowQueen'': If your best friend gets kidnapped by an otherworldly snow abomination, you, a seven year old girl, can definitely rescue him by yourself!

214* ''Literature/ThreeBillyGoatsGruff'': The grass ''is'' greener on the other side, patience is ''not'' a virtue, violence solves ''everything'', pass the buck if you're scared of facing a problem, and never mess with goats.
215* ''Literature/TheUglyDuckling'': You might think you're an ugly human child now, but you could turn out to be a handsome gorilla.

217
218[[folder:Meta]]
219* DarthWiki/WarpThatAesop: It's okay to distort the truth and promote bad morality if it entertains you.
220** [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike Complaining about aesops you don't like]] or the work it's from is okay if you coat it with a thin coat of snark.
221** Everything you watch, everything you read and every game you play is teaching you a horrible lesson.
222** Every warped aesop presented here is unironically what tropers think the intended message is.
223** Every last iota of anything in the public eye sends a message whether intended or not; every joke, every plot-point, everything! The devil is quite literally in the details, so keep your eyes peeled for anything that doesn't gel perfectly to every last corner of the human experience. It's our right and duty to rub all those UnfortunateImplications in their faces!
224** The ''WarpThatAesop/WebOriginal'' sub-page: Don't post anything on the internet ever.
225** The ''WarpThatAesop/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' sub-page: [[WhoWritesThisCrap The people who write that show]] are all naive {{Glurge Addict}}s who [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids clearly have no clue]] how RealLife works.
226* [[DarthWiki/ThisExists Darth Wiki]]: Ruining your eyesight and being snarky go hand in hand.
227** [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece That hasn't been the case in years.]]
228* DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck: [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke One bad episode is all it takes]] to [[DarthWiki/RuinedForever permanently damage an entire series]] for a single person.
229** Lacking a sense of humour is a valid reason for hating something that wasn't made just for you and you alone.
230** It is a-okay to drop a show for having politics you don't agree with!
231** The ''DethroningMoment/PokemonAnime'' subpage: It's okay to have unrealistically high expectations for characters that are around 7-10 years old.
232** The DethroningMoment/WebOriginal subpage: People who make content online for fun should be held to the same standard as people who make media professionally.
233*** ''DethroningMoment/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' subpage: Enjoying ''any'' episodes made after TheMovie is the sign of you either being a {{Troll}}, mentally unwell, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or your standards being]] ''far'' too low.
234** The DethroningMoment/WesternAnimation subpage: Cartoons are very SeriousBusiness. Enough to write [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech academic essays on why they're terrible]].
235*** MostTropersAreYoungNerds... very easily offended young nerds eager to go off at anything that rubs them the wrong way.
236*** The ''DethroningMoment/RobotChicken'' subpage: If you don't like BlackHumour, you should watch shows filled with it anyway just to complain about it on the Internet.
237*** The ''DethroningMoment/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' subpage: Having hate boners of fictional characters are completely healthy.

239* NightmareFuel: Don't worry, it's more than perfectly okay to read an entire page of things guaranteed to give you nightmares at night, hence the page title!
240** Children can't handle anything remotely scary in movies or shows made for them. Most are too scary for adults too.
241** Tropers are gigantic pansies who are afraid of their own shadows.
242** Via the power of mental gymnastics, even innocent children's media can be high-grade horror!
243* Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease: You aren't allowed to say that UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, UsefulNotes/JosefStalin, or Pol Pot were evil.
244** [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings You can never have nice pages on]] TheInternet because people get so butt-hurt over things they disagree with.
245* WMG/PoisonOakEpilepticTrees: [[YouBastard Tropers are all sickos.]]
246* [[SugarWiki/SweetExists Sugar Wiki]]: All good things have to have girly color schemes.
247** If you aren't an edge-lord on [[DarthWiki/ThisExists Darth Wiki]], you're apparently Barbie and friends.
248* SugarWiki/SweetenThatAesop: People try to fish for a family friendly aesop, even when there isn't one.

253** Want to [[Administrivia/TheGreatCharacterAlignmentDebate circumvent the rules on Tv Tropes]]? Just make a massive group-written {{crossover}} FanFiction.
254* DarthWiki/ThatTroper: [[NeverMyFault You never make mistakes or do anything wrong on]] Website/TVTropes, it's always some other evil troper doing it on purpose.
255** TV Tropes would be great if it was just you and maybe two other people editing it.
256* SugarWiki/WelcomeToHeaven: People's idea of what Heaven is like is having their every hedonistic desire met with no effort.
257* DarthWiki/WelcomeToHell: People want to be tortured for all of eternity so badly that they'll freely give their torturers ideas how to do it.
258* [[YMMV/HomePage YMMV Only]]: Do not put non InUniverse examples on the main pages!... unless for some reason we let examples on these, in that case proceed to [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike moan about shows you don't like]] to your heart's content.
259* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type=att Ask The Tropers]]: There's nothing wrong with snitching on your fellow tropers for usually minor infractions or pretending you're one of the moderators.
260* Administrivia/ZeroContextExample: Anyone who posts an example without explaining how it fits the trope doesn't know how the character or work they're talking about fits, even if the trope name is so self-explanatory that elaboration would be redundant.

264* Creator/ChuckECheese:

266*** Pizza Time Theatre era:

270** Breaking someone's neck is an acceptable form of punishment.
271** Owning a "sidewalk surfboard" is more morally reprehensible than being a murderer.
