So a more suitable Aesop would be "you must overcome your shyness to achieve your dreams," which makes his [[JerkJock older brother's]] comments [[StrawmanHasAPoint come off as more valid than intended]].

* The videos that all have the RecycledPremise of "person doesn't look like their kid(s), gets questioned about it and harassed, only for the person to reveal the heartbreaking story of why they adopted a child of a different race" is ''meant'' to be a "don't judge a book by its cover" aesop, which is undermined by the fact that there's always a very specific reason ''why'' the person adopted the children which carries the implication that there has to be a specific reason why someone would possibly adopt someone outside their own race.

* In "Girlfriend Has Guy Best Friend, What Boyfriend Does Is Shocking", the Aesop is "having friends of the opposite sex can be complicated, make sure they have the right intentions and that your partner is comfortable." However, the boyfriend is clearly jealous and suspicious of their friendship before he had any real reason to be worried, providing no evidence other than his belief that straight men and women can't be friends, and he even tells her to lie to her friend and pretend she went through a breakup to test his feelings for her. It should be noted that she has been friends with this guy for a long time, at least before she met the boyfriend, and this is a pretty recent relationship. It's only through sheer luck that the boyfriend is correct, so the message comes off as "women in relationships should not have straight male friends (and especially not a best friend), because it will make their boyfriend insecure", and "no man has a platonic friendship with women for good intentions, they will always want something more."

** Another non-criminal example is "Employee Fakes Sick to Skip Work." Arturo finds out fairly early in the video that Jacob has been repeatedly lying to get out of work, even claiming that his grandmother died to skip work for a date. Instead of immediately reporting him, Arturo says nothing and even ends up helping cover for Jacob when his date Nicole [[ContrivedCoincidence just so happens to be their boss's daughter]]. In the end, though, only ''Jacob'' gets punished for his lies and Arturo gets rewarded with a promotion and presumably the chance to date Nicole.

** In “Teen Hits Car And Drives Off” while Edgar did try to warn Gill about the hit and run, food theft, and wallet theft, he was still technically an accomplice in all three of those scenarios as he was in the car with Gill at the time of the accident and even with him in the other two crime acts and never bothered to tell the cashier about his friend stealing Anthony’s wallet yet the cops and owner of the car don’t even notice him when they arrest Gill for the hit and run nor do they give him a stern warning and he just gets off Scott free and even Anthony Brown himself doesn’t get a stern warning from the officers either for attempting to beat up a (about to be arrested) teen civilian in front of them.

** This is especially apparent in videos such as "TEEN CHEATS On Test For An IPHONE 15", where one of Alex's punishments involves him getting ''very brutally assaulted'' simply because he lied about being a UFC fighter and for faking an injury (not to mention the fact that he gets ''left in the parking lot'' by his ''own mother'' of all people).

* "Protective Bro Spies on Sister" aims to have a message against unhealthily overprotective siblings. However, it fails spectacularly since the video end with the titular brother ''still'' getting upset after finding out one of his friends was dating his sister (just not the one he thought was dating her originally) while everyone else laughs off his unsettling and sexist behavior as a harmless quirk. The same goes for the similarly plotted "Mom Treats Son Better Than Girl."
