There's that old saying about apples and how they don't fall far from the tree. Sometimes they do and sometimes that apple decides to jump and fly away to make sure it's not considered too close to the parental tree.
Enter this trope. This is when a child decides for themselves that they aren't going to repeat the same mistakes that their parents have made. Maybe the child was raised with a Jerkass for a father, or mommy dearest was a Cloudcuckoolander of the worst kind. Or, maybe the child has just developed an interest that strays far away from their parent's preferences. Whether out of embarrassment or for the sake of rebellion, expect this to lead to Calling the Old Woman Out/Calling the Old Man Out and/or You're Not My Father/Mother.
Compare Archnemesis Dad, in which the parent-child relationship is outright antagonistic. Contrast Turn Out Like His Father, where the parent doesn't want the child to imitate someone in the family, and Pursuing Parental Perils. See also Like Parent, Unlike Child, where the child really isn't like the parent, and isn't necessarily trying to be that way. Related to Morally Superior Copy, where a clone or duplicate turns out to be morally superior to the villainous original. Not to be confused with Luke, I Am Your Father.

A brotherly version occurs in Avesta of Black and White with Magsarion. He is the younger brother of the great hero Varhram. After Varhram died during the Day of Collapse 20 years before the start of the story everyone is now saddling Magsarion with their hopes and ideals for him to be the same kind of hero Varhram was. Magsarion however wants none of this and is actively doing everything in his power to be as different from his brother as he can, utterly loathing being compared to someone he hated so. This hatred even gave birth to a Commandment that requires him to be as different as possible, just so that he can be seen as his own person. Things gets more complicated once it is revealed that he is not the brother but in fact the bastard child of Varhram and that the great hero was not as virtuous as he presented himself. This reveal however opens the floodgates for Magsarion to finally grow into his own.

In Doom, this was Fly's motivation for joining the Marines and his love of the Corps. His father was a cruel, petty criminal lout with no sense of honor or dignity. In the Marine Corps Fly could be everything his father wasn't.

Simon Marsden, when first introduced in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is suspected of rape. He invokes this trope when Benson compares him to their dad.
Benson herself has to deal with this on occasion, since neither of her parents were exactly great.
Amaro reacts very badly to his abusive father's suggestion that Amaro is on track to turn out like him. (Whether his father was actually trying to help Amaro or whether the assertion was just another form of emotional abuse is a matter of interpretation.)
Mike Dodds, the son of a Deputy Chief of Police, is an unusual example in that he has a good relationship with his father and respects him, but doesn't necessarily want a life like his father's for himself. Unfortunately for Mike, his father doesn't really get this, which makes it hard for Mike to pursue his own path. (This arc is ultimately cut short when Mike is Killed Off for Real after less than a season.)

The Black Sheep Dog Series: Sirius wants to cut off ties with his blood-purist parents and especially dislikes being compared to his aloof, cold-hearted father, Orion — which, due to their Strong Family Resemblance, happens more frequently than he likes. Chapter 31 deconstructs this by revealing that Sirius actually thinks quite highly of his father, and is rather insecure that he couldn't be more like him. A lot of his more insolent antics was his way of getting his dad's attention, because being the family's rebellious black sheep is better than simply be the one who isn't cut out for the program.

When making a Charr in Guild Wars 2, two of your options are that your father was a Gladium who abandoned his warband and lives in honorless shame, or an outright traitor Flame Legion shaman. Your character addresses the trope if you picked the latter when your father comes up in a discussion.

A variation in the White Collar episode, "What Happens in Burma". Neal reveals that his father was a dirty cop, and says that criminal behavior runs in his blood. Peter insists that it's not true and encourages Neal to be his own man. So in this case it's more like "You are not your father." This is after Neal has served time as a convicted bond forger, and that Peter was the one who caught him, twice! Even after all that, Peter still believes in him and still wants Neal to realize that his choices are his own, and that it's still not too late to get his act together.

The Simpsons:
Lisa discovers that Marge used to be a genius until meeting Homer essentially made her decide she didn't care about her future. Lisa vows to be absolutely nothing like her mother, much to Marge's horror.
In "Lisa's Substitute," Lisa is terrified of introducing Mr. Bergstrom to Homer, as Homer isn't academically inclined. This gives us the page quote for Bumbling Dad.

Lyrical Nanoha: Fate Testarossa plays this straight and inverts it in regards to her parenting methods. Her biological mother was practically the Trope Codifier for Abusive Parents in anime, and the idea that she could end up like that in regards to her own children terrifies Fate (to the point where the Big Bad of StrikerS uses it as the basis for his Breaking Speech). So she does everything in her power to emulate her adoptive mother instead, who is the complete opposite.

Harry Potter
Contrary to what Severus Snape insists on claiming, Harry isn't arrogant or attention-seeking, and is definitely not the Jerk Jock his father initially was. Played With in that he does strive to be like his father in other ways and at other times in the book, and the two do have some similarities which are commented on during the series.
Sirius Black rejected the darkness his family is known for. He and practically every other decent person in the family was rejected for this.
Percy Weasley moved out of his family's home to show the Ministry he, unlike the other Weasleys, supported Minister Fudge's position of denying Voldemort's return.

On The Originals, when Klaus is on a particularly hate-filled rant about Rebekah because she brought Mikael to New Orleans to chase him away years ago, Elijah mentions how much he sounds like their father. Klaus is momentarily taken aback, and quietly says "I'm not him.", trying to convince himself more than anyone else. This is a running thread throughout the series, with Klaus' fatherhood being essential to him trying to be better than his father.

Old West: Rattlesnake Jake never drinks himself into drunkenness because his father James Douglas beat Jake's mother Selena every night when he returned home under the influence until it lead to her death. When Jake finds his lover Grace beaten by her husband, the following Extreme Mêlée Revenge is partly influenced by the flashback Jake has of his last night with his parents and his father's words of Jake becoming a man like him. In the following chapter, Jake continues acting on this trope by ultimately deciding not to drink in order to cope with his strained relationship with Grace.

In Star Trek (2009), Captain James T. Kirk does not enjoy constantly being compared to his deceased father. Kirk's father was not only a good man but also a hero who saved hundreds of lives (including Kirk and his mother) at the cost of his own. As cocky as Kirk is about his abilities, even he can't see himself living up to that example.
An interesting example towards the end, when Spock mistakes Spock Prime for his father Sarek, leading the latter to say "I am not our father."

The Order of the Stick:
Roy has chosen to be a fighter, against his father's wish (who wanted Roy to become a wizard like him; ironically, his father is a fighter and had the same problem). Much later, when Roy is dead, he realizes what a cynical Jerkass his father actually is, and makes a conscious decision not to be like that.
Elan is doing to same to Tarquin, Tarquin is an evil general while Elan is a hero. This doesn't bother Tarquin so much as he believes that it is his fate to be killed by a hero one day, at which point he will become infamous. He even gets to the point where he's helping Elan become a better hero, because the extra drama in having Elan kill him is all the better. Out of spite, Elan rejects Tarquin's assistance in the Order's quest for the Gates, then when fighting his father's own troops to save Roy, Durkon and Belkar, he takes on a supporting role, helping Haley fight them instead of doing the Big Damn Heroes bit himself.

Ward of Hurog is very unlike his father, but people who suffered under his father still suspect (or outright believe) that he wants to kill them and everyone else who is in the way, in order to inherit the title. It's simply what they're used to. In the case of Oreg, who is a kind of mixture of Genius Loci, ghost, and magically-bound slave, this is even more justified, as he sometimes mixes up past and present, and Ward looks a lot like some particularly nasty ancestor. Ward has to explain, again and again, that he is neither like his father, nor like other nasty ancestors.

In The Godfather, Michael Corleone relates a story of his father's vicious mafia lifestyle to his girlfriend Kay, at the end insisting that he isn't like his ruthless old man. He's at least partially right. He ends up being much, much worse.

In Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly, Lucas regrets being the subject of pretend date videos for the production house he used to work at because it reminded him of his late father, who would "fish" for partners the same way.

Soul Eater:
Black Star has no intention of going down the same path as the violently dangerous Star Clan, though it takes a while for him to recognise it was a real possibility and took the Nakatsukasa Purpose's third option. His Parental Substitute and Mentor, Sid, is the one who refers to this trope the most as he was the one (in the manga) who killed White Star, and so saw the signs that Black Star could Turn Out Like His Father.
Invoked in a positive sense with Kid and Shinigami. Seeing what became of Asura, and realising what their father was capable of, Kid is at first hesitant to 'ascend' and become a true Shinigami. He is reassured by his friends that he is a different person, and will do things his own way. Not that Kid realises it, but this is exactly what Shinigami wanted him to do all along.

In Wolf Hall, Thomas Cromwell's father was a brute who viciously abused him, causing him to flee not just his hometown but England as a teenager. When he returns and starts his own family, Thomas goes out of his way to be a kind and loving father (to the point where his wife sometimes accuses him of spoiling), refuses to let his kids meet their grandfather, and continually worries about whether or not he's a good enough parent.

Hungry Heart has a more benevolent "I Am Not My Brother" variation with the protagonist, Kyousuke Kanou. As a child, he learned to play and love soccer from his older brother, Seisuke Kanou, who as an adult would grow to become The Ace of the A.C Milan. However, people began to criticize Kyousuke for having a different playing style to his brother, which ultimately led him to quit soccer altogether. It's later revealed that this was due to him discovering that he was adopted, which only strained his family relationships even more.

Batman Beyond: Commissioner Barbara Gordon delivers this line word for word when she lets Bruce know that she won't be working hand-in-hand with the new kid. It wasn't out of any disrespect for her father (quite the opposite). It was because, at the time, she did not trust the new Batman, Terry McGinnis. She does, reluctantly, work with Terry at times, but never reaches anywhere near the same relationship with him as her father did with Bruce.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Much of Tony Stark's motivation prior to the Sokovian Accords is undoing Sins of Our Fathers by taking Stark Industries out of the weapons trade, which is how Howard Stark built the fortune that Tony inherited. The fact that civilians continue to be killed by bombs made by Stark Industries haunts him through Iron Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War.

One of the first things said by Liara in Mass Effect is "I am not my mother!". Which is ironic, considering how both she and her mother Benezia have been magnetically drawn to dashing, larger-than-life Spectres on a quest for galactic salvation, and eventually became their most ardent supporters and trusted confidantes. So, despite her claims to the contrary, Liara is not so different from her mom... except that she either is a much better judge of character, or is just a whole lot luckier to have followed Shepard instead of someone like Saren.

This actually becomes quite important to Miranda in one of her scenes in Mass Effect 3, when she reminds Shepard that she had planned to place a control chip in his/her brain when she was bringing him/her Back from the Dead. In a minor breakdown, she reveals how much guilt she's been feeling over this and practically begs Shepard for forgiveness, as not only would have cost her a good friend, but also would have made her exactly like her father.

Steven Universe:
The eponymous character wants to move away from his mother's legacy, since he can't live up to that legacy when everyone expects him to. Later on, when Steven learns about Rose's more questionable decisions, such as (supposedly) shattering Pink Diamond and secretly imprisoning Bismuth, he starts to question with whether or not he wants to be like her.
At the end of "The Good Lars", Sadie briefly wishes she could force Lars to be happy. She's then pretty disgusted in herself for how much she "sound like my mother.", and decides to back off on trying to fix Lars' life.

Parental issues are pretty common in the Mass Effect franchise, in various flavors, ranging from being smothered by or rebelling against expectations (Tali, Garrus) to escaping from and fighting back against abusive or evil parents (Wrex, Miranda).

In Better Call Saul, Jimmy saw his easy mark father get driven into bankruptcy by scam artists, and decided to become a hustler himself rather than get taken advantage of. His brother Chuck makes a show of respecting their parents far more than Jimmy did, but he's clearly also driven to avoid becoming like them. Rather than use his legal skills to help average people like their dad tried to do, he became a high-priced corporate lawyer so he would be rich, powerful and respected.

There's a lot of this is Girl Genius, considering the nature of a lot of people's families.
Agatha gets the main ones, considering her mother is the Big Bad of the series who is trying to either conquer or destroy the continent, and is also lodged in her mind and occasionally takes over her body Baron Wulfenbach is also convinced that this fact means that Agatha is destined to go down the same path or worse, and wants her captured or killed for it.
Gil also gets a few - his father is the son of minor nobility who conquered a continent, and who is almost universally disliked by other nobles. The Baron's position as a despotic tyrant and Gil's position as his heir means that Gil isn't too well liked either.
Tarvek has to point this out to Gil after being accused of aiding The Other and conspiring to enslave most of Europa via slaver wasps.

Komaru Naegi in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls embodies this trope throughout the game, with many people, especially the Big Bad, comparing her to her older brother Makoto and his status as Hope Bringer. Not that she wants that sort of title; she's fine with just being a regular girl. Monaca's plan actually involves making her into a carbon copy of her brother, bringing hope to Towa City only to throw it back into chaos, starting a war that'll re-invigorate the Tragedy. The ultimate failure in her plan are that she overestimates Komaru, who doesn't want to emulate her brother.

In The Dragon Prince, Aanya, Ezran, and Soren all make decisions that they know their respective parents would not have made:
When Viren tells Aanya about how her parents had allied with Katolis to retrieve a rare magical artifact from Xadia to power a spell to save the people of Katolis and Duren, Aanya decides that even though her parents probably would have said yes to Viren's call for an alliance against Xadia again, she herself would not.
King Harrow had decided to perpetuate a war between his own kingdom of Katolis and the elven lands of Xadia, a war that began long before he was born. His son Ezran is well aware that it would go against hundreds of years of history to attempt to make peace with Xadia, but he does so anyway.
Viren, in pursuit of the ostensibly noble goal of securing peace for Katolis against the threat of Xadia, commits so many atrocities that even his son Soren eventually defects to Ezran and fights against his father.

William de Worde in The Truth really does not want to be like his arrogant, opinionated, aristocratic, bigoted father. He gets kind of halfway... he conscientiously takes the opposite of his father's bigoted politics, but pursues it in an arrogant, opinionated, and aristocratic way.

Birds of Prey (2002):
Helena Kyle has this attitude towards her father Bruce Wayne, despite taking up her father's mantle of Gotham's protector.
Helena's love interest police detective Jesse Resse is also this towards his own father, crime boss Al Hawke, and even arrests his father.

Subject of a joke in the film Barbershop, when Calvin rhetorically asks "Do I look like my father?", only to be met with a chorus of "Yeah." "Yes, you do." "In the nose, right here..."
A sadder underlying theme of the film is that Calvin, unlike his idealistic father, isn't willing to let people get by for free and his desire to finally remove himself from the barbershop and his father's shadow move the plot.

Love Pistols: Present multiple times, subverted and played straight.
From the furthest generation back, Makio Madarame doesn't want to become like her father so she discards all family duty and elopes with her girlfriend - her case is partly subverted because A) her girlfriend was her father's lover first, with them having the same tastes, and B) Makio has a very similar personality to her father... to the point where the most she manages is Sociopathic Hero on a good day (her girlfriend being her Morality Chain).
Makio's son, Yonekuni, doesn't want to become like his father's lover and goes as far as to completely hate all men (and artists) just to make sure... only for this to be subverted harshly when it turns out he has exactly the same Green-Eyed Epiphany his step-father had regarding his lover (with both previously before being unattracted to men), exactly the same slow-realisation Oblivious to Love Green-Eyed Monster relationship with his lover as his step-father did with his father, and their lovers' personalities are incredibly similar.
Makio's second son, Kunimasa, actually ends up being the one to play this trope straight when Makio tries to force him into an arranged marriage by unwisely threatening his boyfriend, whereupon he ended up snapping and finally Calling the Old Man Out.

Game of Thrones: Daenerys says this word-for-word in 'The House of Black and White'. Dany seems genuinely disturbed as Ser Barristan describes the atrocities of the Mad King. This trope is a key element in Tyrion throwing his support behind her. She also stuns Jon Snow when she openly declares that her father was an evil man. Subverted come Season 8 Episode 5 when she abruptly loses her mind and burns King's Landing for no good reason, however, proving that in the end she took after dear old dad after all.

As such, Alice lives in terror of falling into the same joyless, purpose-deprived existence as her parents after graduating from Brakebills, and makes Quentin promise her that they won't be reduced to this state. Unfortunately, Quentin disappoints her, and Alice is forced to end up like her brother in order to save the day.

Lee in Battlestar Galactica.
It's a running theme in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica: The intellectual sophisticate Baltar does not want to be associated with his Down on the Farm father (even going so far as to alter his accent). Starbuck represents the distaff version of the trope, wanting to disassociate herself from her abusive mother. And the elder Adama himself has worked hard to distinguish himself as a military leader, quite different from the in-universe equivalent of a Mafia consigliere that Caprica reveals his father to have been (although his actual management of the fleet shows he did learn at least a few lessons from the old man). Even the Cylons come in for this: both collectively (in that they wish to prove themselves superior to their human creators) and individually (the reactions of various models, notably the Ones, toward the Final Five).

Parodied on Silicon Valley. Richard is wary of getting funding from Reyes, a Chilean tech investor, because his family's fortune came from buddying up to Pinochet and using borderline slave labor. Reyes assures Richard that he's not his father and doesn't intend to repeat his father's mistakes. But what he means is, his father was a kind-hearted reformer, and his "mistakes" were allowing his workers to unionize and thus jeopardize his grandfather's empire.

The Legend of Korra: A recurring motif. Tenzin is (or tries to be) as serious and staid as Aang was carefree, and, while she shares Toph's toughness, Lin is very strict about enforcing the law and has no patience with the Avatar Korra's vigilante justice until she quits and becomes a vigilante herself.
Arguably the most significant is Asami refusing to join the Equalists with her father.
Tenzin breaks out of the Fog of Lost Souls on realizing "I am Tenzin. I am not a reflection of my father." after his father himself shows up to tell him so.
Tarrlok, and by extension his brother Amon, both seem to show shades of this. Unfortunately for them both, they ended up becoming a threat to Republic City just like their father wanted, albeit in different ways.

Friends:
Monica is determined not to end up like her Jerkass mother. As she is a great Team Mom to the gang, adores children, is a supportive friend and wife, and happily adopts twin babies, she succeeds pretty well.
Her boyfriend Chandler also has shades of this, terrified of becoming his flighty mother and gay father who walked out on them. He even runs away on his wedding because he's scared he'll copy his parents marriage. With Monica's help, he becomes one of the sweetest TV husbands ever and a father.
There's also a lot of Fridge Brilliance in Chandler's characterization. While his parents have flashy, exciting careers (famous smut writer and drag queen performer) and unconventional lives travelling and sleeping around with people, Chandler works a deadly boring 9 - 5 office job, is shy and awkward when it comes to dating, and for most of the series just wants security and stability with his True Companions. (Which he never had as a child.) His Character Development is all about getting over the Commitment Issues his parents caused, and he's never happier than after he falls in love with the Monica (the most reliable and level-headed of the friends) and they head towards the conventional 2.5 kids, white-picket fence future together.
Rachel goes to great lengths to avoid turning into her mother, a Rich Bitch who's dependent on others for financial support, by building a successful career and not getting tied down in a loveless marriage. While teaching Joey how to sail she's absolutely horrified to realize she's been using the same abusive teaching methods that her father used to teach her.

Raylan Givens in Justified despises his father Arlo, who is a notorious criminal. Raylan became a lawman specifically to make sure he never turned out like his father. Boyd Crowder also has shades of this, though he takes it in a different direction than Raylan.

In Inception, Cobb plans to invoke this trope in Fischer so he would break up his father's company and start a business of his own.

In Mysterium, the playable character Ardhashir's family traditionally served the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. He decided he wanted none of it and instead went to travel the world and to hone his clairvoyant skills.

Used for a quick joke on Gravity Falls; the Gremloblin's glowing eyes can make whoever look into them live their worst fears. When Dipper tricks into looking into a mirror, the Gremloblin sees itself with glasses, with his reflection screaming, "You've become your father!"
Played straight with Pacifica Northwest in Season 2; after seeing that her family has been nothing but a collection of Card Carrying Villains for the last 150 years, she breaks from the tradition and genuinely helps someone other than herself, declaring that she intends to make up for all the wrong the Northwests have caused over the years.
