The episode of your cartoon series is over already, and the kids haven't yet had An Aesop or a science lesson? Well, we can't have that!
This trope is the practice of encapsulating the moral of the story in The Tag. It often has No Fourth Wall, and has the characters of the show directly lecture to the audience, who they assume to be a child. It allows a show that went 22 minutes wantonly breaking stuff to get that coveted "E/I" rating, by telling the kids not to eat the pretty candies in the medicine cabinet. Most times, the moral laid out in The Tag is a summation of what should have been learned from the story, encapsulated in an incredibly obvious manner. Other times, it's just a generic safety tip added to an otherwise purely entertaining episode.
A type of Public Service Announcement or PSA, which often contains these when it uses characters from the show in the same timeslot.
Sometimes it wasn't even a moral lesson, but a science fact related to the sci-fi setting. The first season of SeaQuest DSV had real life ocean expert Robert Ballard from the Woods-Hole Oceanographic Institute give a one minute lecture on the science of the episode next to the credits; this segment vanished in the second season. Rankin/Bass Productions sci-fi cartoon SilverHawks had something about the planets framed as a lesson to the crew's Plucky Comic Relief / Robot Monkey. A variant on this could be seen in the short segments in prime-time that recommended the viewer to consult his local library for selected books related to the preceding program.
Though this was most commonly seen in The '80s (often as a near-textbook PSA separated from the climax of the actual story by local station commercials), it also appeared in The '70s in police documentaries as a way to end the program with lessons for drivers. In The '80s and The '90s, it became something of an Enforced Trope, as FCC regulations required a certain amount of "educational" content in children's programming, and this became a way to make the actual show "educational." It's not quite a Dead Horse Trope or a Discredited Trope yet, though. And, as long as cartoons need E/I ratings or family shows need approval from Moral Guardians, someone will play this trope straight. May include a "Harmful to Pets" Reminder.
Subverted in shows where We Haven't Learned Anything, period, and the characters remark on it. Compare "Lesson of the Day" Speech.

Police, Camera, Action! started doing from 2007 onwards at the end of the show. Even the episode Ultimate Pursuits had one, although that could be considered a parody of Back to the Future (with the accompanying theme music). It's rare to see such things on a documentary...

One episode of The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper had the ghosts listing a variety of high-level vocabulary words that came up in the episode. Then they admit that they don't actually know what the words mean, just that they are words, and that they hope the government was fooled into thinking that the show was educational.

The Simpsons:
Played with as early as the first-season episode "Bart the General".
A later episode, "Bart Star", had guest star Joe Namath break the fourth wall to deliver an inspiring message.
A later Halloween Special provided a message about adult illiteracy.
And then there was the episode where *NSYNC (of all people) delivered one about how mocking the U.S. Navy was wrong - although the characters had just spent the episode doing exactly that.
"Kids, always recycle. TO THE EXTREEEEEEEME!"

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) plus its Spin-Off She-Ra: Princess of Power. Word of God is that this was to shut up Moral Guardians who might complain about the shows' violent content. It was halfway-used in one episode of the 2002 version, where the Masters needed Orko to help lure a colony of dragons to attack monsters under the control of Skeletor. After that task was successful, the episode concludes with Orko admitting to his chagrin that he's still scared of the species, but the heroes reassure him that a proper respect for a fierce and powerful creature is the mark of a wise person. Here, the lesson flows relatively naturally from the plot and the fourth wall is kept intact. The 2002 series did have morals, following in the format of the original series, but they didn't air with the American episodes; only the international releases. However, they do come on the DVD sets for the curious viewer. They also tend to soften the blow by always making it the exact lesson the episode as a whole was meant to teach you, rather than clumsily segueing into "yo, kids — don't smoke." The 2021 series had a similar Mythology Gag where Ork-0 gives a pep talk to Orko the Great about the lesson he learned, with camera work making it look like Ork-0 is addressing the audience at the end.
Robot Chicken parodied this in one skit, where He-Man turns to the camera and tells us "Trees are some of our most precious resources!" Skeletor (who had been chopping down Eternia's oldest tree) promptly asks who he's talking to.

Unikitty! did this at the end of an episode in which the cast becomes enamored with using an Awesome, but Impractical mecha to protect the city. They eventually realize that they've caused much more harm than good and decide to destroy the Mecha to free themselves from the inside of it as well as stop destroying the city. Nothing works until Richard, who acts as the Mecha's appendix, presses the self-destruct button. The episode ends with Hawkodile and Dr.Fox explaining that despite the fact they played a ruptured appendix for laughs in the episode, it is a very serious condition for which the viewer should seek immediate medical attention should they feel as though they were suffering from it.

Earthworm Jim:
Jim informs us of the hazards of drinking too much coffee in the episode, “Hyper PSY-Crow".
In the cold opening of the episode, "Peanut of the Apes," after Peter runs into a wall, Jim explains to us what really happens if that really happened, and to not do what the latter did.

King of the Hill often acknowledged social issues, but these were only used a couple of times. One was encouraging viewers to vote, another was about working to get Antonio López de Santa Anna's leg returned to Mexico. In the episode, "Keeping Up With Our Joneses" (where the entire family, sans Luanne, gets addicted to cigarettes), Boomhauer gave a lecture on the effects of smoking on your lungs, comparing a dirty air filter to a clean one, as well as bits and pieces of the negative health effects and reasons for smoking, such as oral gratification, before being led away by a random woman, during the end credits. Of course, it being Boomhauer, the lecture was largely incomprehensible.

Has happened at least twice in the FOX series 24. Most notably, a PSA was created in the fourth season where Kiefer Sutherland talked about the plight of Middle Eastern residents in the country, just before an episode where his character, Jack Bauer, met two Middle Eastern gun shop owners in Los Angeles. The pre-show announcements for season two and four also had Sutherland promoting corporate sponsors (i.e. Ford sponsored a commercial-free airing of the season two premiere).

Used in one volume of the English edition of The Kindaichi Case Files talking about the differences between Western and Japanese computers. They also use it to justify the heavy edits by explaining that if they used a literal translation, the English reading audience won't get a fair chance at solving the mystery themselves.

Clerks: The Animated Series parodied this with a number of post-episode shorts, such as having Jay and Silent Bob present a Mr Wizard inspired magic-from-science segment. They showed a simple sleight-of-hand trick, with the twist that a key element of the trick required invoking the power of Satan.
Making it better, the third segment didn't do much but have Charles Barkley try to do the segment, then Jay and Silent Bob kick the crap out of him Godfather-style (including the missed punch) and leave.

Several PSA segments were prepared for The Transformers, another Hasbro property produced by Sunbow and Marvel Productions concurrent with G.I. Joe. The segments even used the "and knowing is half the battle" line (and the scripts from the G.I. Joe PSAs almost verbatim), but they never aired. These were placed as unlockable bonuses in the Armada-based PS2 game, and are also available on some DVD releases of the show.
Parodied in an episode of Robot Chicken where Optimus Prime talks about prostate cancer.

The Daily Show parodies it with 'The Less You Know', a segment about censorship where the rainbow trail on the star logo is blacked out with redaction bars.
It also parodied it with 'The More You Wish You Didn't Know' on a segment concerning the ACORN scandals.
And then, with a series of increasingly poorly titled segments where Jon Stewart tries to speak directly to the younger audience: "This Has Been 'Jon Stewart Touches Kids'... wait, that's the name we're going with?"

The Popeye and Olive Show had various safety messages, usually featuring Popeye's identical quintuplet nephews, between the shorts. Many of them had a seedy fellow named "Mr. Stranger" who represented the fear of criminals (he'd often be driven away by Popeye or by falling victim to whatever he was encouraging).
One example:
Then Popeye goes on to explain how millions of tiny germs, too small to be seen, are on their hands, so they need to wash them. (Popeye just happens to be examining his stamp collection at the time, giving him a magnifying glass within reach.)

The People's Court does this at the end of each case, with host Harvey Levin giving some practical advice on how to avoid the mess the judge just cleaned up. Note: Since laws vary from state to state, he's not always right. Check your jurisdiction's rules to be sure. Indeed, in the original version, the producers explicitly advised this in a disclaimer shown at the end of each program.

The Captain Atom episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold begins with one of these. The Captain tells 2 kids to stay away from a downed power line and delivers the egotistical Aesop of "Next time, be a hero, by remembering you're not." The same line is later turned back around on him after the bad guy takes his powers away and he starts getting in the way by trying to be a hero. At the end of the episode, after his temporary loss of powers has apparently shown him that there's more to being a hero than having special powers, an almost-identical PSA starring the same two kids is shown: "You don't have superpowers, and that makes you some of the most fragile and pathetic organisms in the whole universe."

This was used in The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon series (but not the one that aired on Saturday mornings) with a short Sonic Says segment every episode, where Sonic explained some sort of lesson (often safety related) to the viewers.
In one such segment, Sonic took it upon himself to explain "good touch vs. bad touch" to the kids at home ("There's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like. But if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good!"). The Internet being what it is, this spawned various edits and parodies, such as "Sonic Gives MC Hammer Advice", which is the "touch" speech with parts of "Can't Touch This" edited in.
These segments were referenced in Wreck-It Ralph. In the movie, they had Sonic say "Remember, if you die outside your own game, you can't regenerate!" on a monitor.
There's also the episode of OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes guest-starring Sonic, which straight-up makes their own Sonic Sez segment after KO remembers he forgot to learn a valuable lesson. Of course, since this was a parody, the segment used a Spoof Aesop.

Superman: The Animated Series once put this trope to an interesting use for the opening of one of its episodes: it starts with a setup that might have come out of one of these PSAs from an old Silver Age animated series with Superman flying in to rescue a kid whose friends have goaded him into endangering himself and giving the kids a little lecture on not giving in to peer pressure before flying away. Our first hint that something's out of place is that, right after he leaves, one of the less admiring kids mocks him for being such a stiff. Sure enough, it turns out this is actually the first appearance of Bizarro, an imperfect clone Lex Luthor made using a bit of Superman's blood. The reason he comes off sounding so pompous is that he thinks he's Superman and is trying too hard to do what he thinks Superman typically does. In case we missed the hint, his next good deed for the day is rescuing Clark Kent and Lois Lane from a car crash, thereby alerting Superman to this odd twist of events as well.

One episode of Wizards of Waverly Place with a "Reading Is Cool" Aesop parodied this trope by having an end-credits tag with Selena Gomez (deliberately reading off of cue cards and sounding as stilted as possible) talking about why literacy is awesome.

Parodied relentlessly in Grojband.

Every episode of Rescue Heroes would end with the characters recapping the lessons learned earlier in the episode. These typically were reduced to restating the emergency situation of the episode, telling you how it should be dealt with, and ending with the annoyingly cheesy phrase, "Think like a Rescue Hero.

Steven Universe:
The Dove Self-Esteem Project x Steven Universe shorts during Cartoon Network commercial breaks feature the Steven Universe characters discussing issues such as bullying and body image under the rubric of the Dove Self-Esteem Project.
Parodied with Steven and Garnet's fusion, Sunstone. Resembling a '90s Mascot with Attitude, they deliver advice directly to the audience, to the confusion of every other character. Steven Universe: Future shows they use this skill to basically become a life coach.

Occasionally parodied in the Sam & Max Animated Series, in their "Our Bewildering Universe" shorts. A great example is "Chock Full O'Guts", a short as unnecessarily gory as network standards would allow a kid's show to be, in which they claim to be teaching the viewer about the body, but instead play a heart like a bagpipe, throw intestines around and explain that the pancreas's function is to be a paperweight.

ThunderCats more or less averted this by not having end of episode segments where the cast breaks the fourth wall and talks straight to the viewer, but some of the morals the episodes themselves are trying to teach come over as obvious anyway. This is sometimes pushed a bit too far when one of the ThunderCats practically spells out the moral in a piece of dialogue in a very blatant way, such as one time when Tigra makes a small speech about how "Rules are only meaningful if people agree to follow them. Otherwise, they're just words". In retrospect, it's strangely ambiguous. It sounds like a worthy and moralistic exhortation to follow the rules, but could equally be taken as saying that rules have no meaning if you don't agree with them, or could even be a veiled attack on rules that have no mechanism for enforcement (it was in response to a comment that the "Interstellar Council" ruled against a weapon that the mutants were using).

The Magic School Bus had a segment at the end of each episode responding to "viewers' phone calls", which explained all the things the episode had glossed over because it made a better story. Fair enough, since it was intended as an Edutainment Show. The books did this too, ending with a couple pages that addressed complaints about inaccuracies and safety/physics violations.

Garfield and Friends:
In the U.S. Acres segment, “Once Upon A Time Warp�, after Roy gives Wade his money back, Orson closes out the segment similar to a PSA, with Wade finishing it.
In the season 4 segment, "Learning Lessons," the network decides to make Garfield's show more educational. As a result, the Buddy Bears interrupt the cartoon giving everyone educational and history lessons (much to Garfield's dismay).

A special feature on The Office season 2 DVD had the show's characters tell you important facts about life. Dwight informs viewers that he could survive on a wolf's diet, Jim tells you that the black jelly beans are bad, and Ryan tells you, if you're hanging out with your friends, and someone tries to sell you a $9 beer, just say no, because $9 is way too much for a beer.

Spoofed by The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, which ends every episode with a segment named "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?" right before the ending credits. Quite often, the segment contains no lesson whatsoever, and on the occasion it does have one, it's never a serious one. "Lessons" have included a Spanish vocabulary word and "The kitten in the ["What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?"] graphic is a computer animation, not a video of a real kitten."
Craig Ferguson also parodies this trope and combines it with Biting-the-Hand Humor by frequently saying "CBS Cares" after giving some unhelpful advice. He sometimes combines this with a Spoof Aesop.

In Sally Forth (Howard), Sally's favourite eighties cartoon Starlee and the Moonbeams, being a Jem pastiche, had them. The one we see has two girls finding a downed power line. One wants to play with it. The other wants to use it to sell speculative bonds to their friends so they can take over the electrical company. Then Starlee shows up to explain selling junk bonds would be the wrong thing to do. "And not doing the wrong thing makes you an interstellar person!" (Presumably the audience — and the girls — are expected to realise that this isn't a binary choice, and playing with the live cable isn't the right thing to do.)

Spoofed a couple of times in Kim Possible:
In "Grande Size Me", Ron delivers the moral of the episode to the audience at the end — with Kim and everyone else wondering who on earth he is talking to... The fact that the moral Ron delivers is a Space Whale Aesop further baffles them. The whole episode was essentially a parody of these. The animators were informed that they absolutely had to do an Aesop-heavy episode about kids' health, so they complied, but tried to make it as deliberately blatant and thus hilarious as possible.
At the end of "Return to Wannaweep", Ron starts by suggesting that they learned that suspicion and paranoia are bad, except that this time his suspicion of Gill was what saved the day. He then suggests that the real moral is that if Kim and Bonnie had cooperated rather than sniping at each other, Middleton High could have won the cheerleading competition. Finally, the three of them decide that the real lesson is "Cheer camp stinks".

VeggieTales does this routinely. Sing along if you know it.
Granted, the entire point of the episode is to teach the lesson that's recapped at the end, so it's more of a natural flow. Plus, it helps the younger kids with short attention spans remember why they were watching the story in the first place.

Liberty's Kids, a public-broadcasting educational series set during the American Revolution, initially included pieces of bogus news, reported by Benjamin Franklin, in the middle of each program. These interludes, intended to teach (very) young viewers about life in the 18th century, were cut from non-PBS broadcasts to make room for commercial breaks. The format was an Actor Allusion, as Franklin was voiced by Walter Cronkite.

The Misadventures of R2 and Miku, which is normally a darkly humorous series, has one atypically serious episode where Miku crosses a line and is left to face her own faults in order to make amends with her friend R2. Despite the episode proper not explicitly touching the subject, it ends with a completely serious PSA about suicide (which is cemented in the description for the video), urging viewers to donate to non-profits dedicated to helping those with suicidal thoughts.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic,
In The New '10s, you might as well replace "And Knowing is Half the Battle" with "Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle".
This takes the form of the letters that Twilight Sparkle writes to her mentor Princess Celestia at the end of every episode. Unlike others, this is implemented into the plot instead of a random PSA disconnected to the events of the episode; Twilight is officially tasked by Celestia with studying The Power of Friendship and reports her findings in the form of Aesops.
In Part 2 of "The Return of Harmony", these letters (sent back by Celestia) gave her the resolve she needed to rescue her friends, power up the Elements of Harmony, and defeat Discord when all hope seemed lost. Even more impressive, she turns the aesop of that episode into an epic "No More Holding Back" Speech against him.
Interestingly, season 1 of My Little Pony has the EI rating, while season 2 does not. The production team apparently decided this change of rules was awesome, and thus made "Lesson Zero": Twilight is unable to learn a new lesson about friendship and goes nuts with fear. At the end of the episode, Princess Celestia tells Twilight she only has to write letters when she feels she has learned something, effectively freeing this from being mandatory and expanded the responsibility to include the others element bearers. Since then a "Twilight writes a letter" scene has been rare but the general form remains more or less constant. This also expands the "Twilight Sparkle writes a letter" so that other main characters also retell what they learned throughout the episode.
This is given a hilarious subversion in one episode, where Applejack writes a letter just to brag that she already knew the Aesop from the start and didn't learn anything.
The format has changed as of Season 4, wherein the ponies have now decided that they'll keep diaries to record Aesops instead.
Season 5 and beyond have dropped the Aesop-giving scenes at the end of each episode. The episodes still teach morals, but they're no longer explicitly spelled out at the end. This helps underscore Twilight's character growth, too, as it marks the point where she stops being Celestia's student and becomes a leader in her own right.
Spoofed in a later episode where the girls decide to publish their diary so others can benefit from the lessons. The book becomes a bestseller...and readers ignore the lessons and instead engage in fandom wars over which pony they like best.

Sailor Moon — the "Sailor Says" segments which were created solely for the DiC Entertainment North American dub. Some of these took extremely vague lessons out of the material. That Chick With The Goggles pointed out two good examples: First, "Today we saw buses vanish into thin air. If only we could make the smog that buses cause vanish into thin air, too! Even though we're just kids, we can carpool and make a difference." ...yeah. The second example was that, although one episode actually had in it a lesson to believe in yourself and have confidence, because the episode was about an insecure artist who was afraid to draw what she really looked like because she didn't believe she looked good enough, the Sailor Says at the end of that episode shoehorned a reminder that Drugs Are Bad into a speech about being yourself.
Sailor Moon Abridged loves to mock these.

Instead of being about just saying "no" to The Aggressive Drug Dealer, it's about not ever buying a magic bag from anyone. (And no, it's not supposed to be analogous to not wasting money or something, since Felix then urges to viewer to purchase an edible wig instead.)

In Looney Tunes: Back in Action, after Bugs Bunny explains the art technique of Pointillism, he says: "I think, when you go to the movies, you should learn somethin'." Doubles as a Brick Joke, as earlier in the film, one of Kate Houghton's criticisms of Bugs' movies was that "nobody learns anything" from them.

The tabletop RPG Cartoon Action Hour is designed to evoke the feel of action cartoons from the 1980s. In fact, players can earn bonus experience points by role-playing their characters in an After-The-Show Message.

Family Guy:
The episode "The Son Also Draws", (featuring a Native American Casino) ends with the family stereotyping certain nationalities and people. Immediately, they explain why the stereotype is incorrect, with "The More You Know" logo showing up above them. When it is Peter's turn:
In "North by North Quahog", Chris is caught with liquor in the boy's bathroom and Flint, voiced by his original actor, Bill Ratner, steps outta the stall and gives a lecture about drinking.
At the end of "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington", an episode about smoking, Peter is lounging in his chair and starts "Hi, I’m Peter Grifin. You know we’ve had a lot of laughs tonight, but I’ll tell you what’s not funny: killing strippers. Strippers are people too, naked people who may be willing to pleasure you for a price you negotiate later behind a curtain in the VIP room. Besides, there’s no need to kill them ‘cause most of them are already dead inside."
And then of course, there's Gary The No-Trash Cougar, who holds children at gunpoint for littering.
Parodied via G.I. Jose. The Mexican-like version of G.I. Joe would tell kids to not do crazy stuff that G.I. Joe wouldn't talk about (no, not drugs) and would offer children to take some stuff out of his trinket. It even has a (Mexican) chorus!

Manatee Girl: The Movie: Parodied and lampshaded in the "Baby Manatee Says" segment. The entire video has an underlying message of a Green Aesop about protecting manatees. The message we're presented with at the end is, to the Snarky Non-Human Sidekick's irritation, "don't lick electrical sockets".

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou has the Super-Deformed "Kotengu Classic" segments at the end of some episodes, with Kotengu explaining some facts about something specific mentioned in the episode — sometimes these are quite useful, as the series takes place in the Heian Period Japan (sorta), and knowing some basic facts about its culture certainly won't hurt.

Doug: "Doug's Chubby Buddy," a A Very Special Episode of the Disney retool of the show, saw Patti beginning to develop an eating disorder and exercise addiction. In the initial airing, the episode ended with a voiceover from Constance Shulman, Patti's actress, encouraging kids and teens to reach out to health hotlines (which appeared on the screen) if they or anyone they knew seemed to be suffering from the same problems.

Played completely straight in M.A.S.K., where every episode ends with a tag scene with a moral. Occasionally these are related to the events or setting of the episode, mostly they're completely random segments, often involving T-Bob doing something stupid and dangerous with dire consequences (two separate segments involve him diving into water that turns out to be shallow). They get even weirder in the second season, often featuring characters who don't appear anywhere else in the episode and involving members of terrorist group VENOM relaxing in a suburban sitting room before delivering a lecture on what to do in an earthquake. They were cut from many if not all UK broadcasts and VHS releases.

How I Met Your Mother ends one episode with a special message from Barney:
The camera then pans away to show that he's not addressing the audience, but a girl in the bar, and the music cuts out as she rejects him. He immediately turns to another girl and begins the speech again.

Key & Peele has a parody PSA featuring Mr. T teaching kids about respect... but ignores everything the kids bring up (like racism, sexism, drugs, or alcohol) until something comes up that he cares about (like names, dress, and especially hairstyles. Towards the end, the kids are actively trying to get him to come back by saying they're going to run off and "do a bunch of drugs" ("Yum! That sounds good.") but he instantly appears when they mention hair.

Mighty Max had a segment at the end of each episode with Max giving a brief fact related to the subject of the episode. One two-part finale, with Max still out with Virgil and Norman in a hellish setting, had Max's mother remarking on her son's choice of Dante's Inferno as reading material.note When the series was shown in the UK, they were cut from BBC1's screenings but left intact on Nickelodeon.

SilverHawks had a similar segment at the end of each episode where Copper Kid got in a space simulator, where he was put against a simple astronomy quiz, usually by Bluegrass. Given the nature of the show, it was actually quite appropriate to have a segment about astronomy at the end of the show. Which was a bit odd, given that interstellar space was depicted as containing breathable air and Earth-normal gravity throughout the show proper. In fact everything about that universe was divorced from our own laws of physics. This was a world where banging a tuning fork in space created wind and ice.
