It should perhaps be noted that the ''Filmore'' example actually calls out the potentially broken message of the trope. Filmore chides the {{Bully Hunter}}s for taking extremes against their tormentors, they retort that he's telling them to just sit back and take their abuse. Filmore points out there are other more lawful ways to deal with these problems, talk to guardians or seek assistance from the teachers.

* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Butterballs", as there's a derogatory status in school for nearly every way you can try to repel a bully:
-->'''Stan:''' That's the third day in a row. You gotta tell the teacher.
-->'''Butters:''' Naw, I'm not a tattle-tale.
-->'''Stan:''' Well then write the principal an anonymous letter.
-->'''Butters:''' Naw, I'm not no Anonymous Andy.
-->'''Craig:''' So then just get a bigger bully to beat the bully up.
-->'''Butters:''' Naw, I don't want kids calling me a Cliché Conflict Resolution Kevin.
-->'''Cartman:''' He has a point.
-->'''Kyle:''' Well, then you gotta ride it out, Butters
