* Practically every episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'', with its suburban upper-middle-class Black-American family learning [[AnAesop some lesson]], often concerning race relations.

* ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' goes ahead and mocks this with a [[AntiHero "he]][[WellIntentionedExtremist ro"]] called 'The Lesson', who tries to literally [[CarryABigStick hammer home]] various [[AnAesop messages]] into peoples' heads (usually [[ThisLoserIsYou Yang]]). Even Yin, who agrees with him on principle, thinks he's a jerk and helps foil him.

* Very unusual for ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'', but the episode “Little Bear’s Sweet Tooth” borderlines on brutal in how it delivers it’s message against overindulgence.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' makes it hard to miss the show's attitudes about religious fundamentalism and [=1950s=]-brand conservatism. The entire town of Moralton is a DysfunctionJunction where people use their faith to be EgocentricallyReligious, the main character has AbusiveParents who are [[DrowningMySorrows downing liquor like water in the desert]] or barely hiding sick sexual fetishes that they try not to talk about, and the OnlySaneMan of the bunch is consistently ignored. And in spite of all of that, the Christian faith is used more as an excuse to be a {{Jerkass}} rather than a criticism of the faith itself; the aforesaid Only Sane Man is the GoodShepherd who runs the local church, albeit as a KnightInSourArmor for how often [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint the townspeople miss the point of what he's trying to say]]. Throughout it all, the show repeatedly hammers into the viewers head that trying to keep up with the Joneses or not properly raising your children is going to cause nightmares.

* ''WesternAnimation/FerngullyTheLastRainforest'': Humans suck, pollution is the devil and cutting down trees is pure evil because as any fairy will tell you they feel pain. Becomes a bit [[{{Irony}} ironic]] when you realize that the [[Creator/TimCurry spirit of]] [[EvilIsSexy pollution]] is the [[JustHereForGodzilla main reason most people watch the movie in the first place.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'''s love of skewering AcceptableTargets can bring it into this territory. The episode "The Candidate" comes to mind, as it bludgeons viewers to death with metaphors representing [[AuthorTract the writers' opinions]] on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and his supporters, the environment, the economy, and so on.
