Combining Hypocritical Humor and An Aesop. The characters summarize a lesson they have learned, then immediately follow up with something that shows that they haven't learned anything after all. The characters, not quite done with reflecting on their own actions, may then proceed to further discuss what possible lessons they have learned. By the time they're finished the audience is clearly convinced that if there was ever any moral to the preceding story, it has been thoroughly and completely lost. This is often a good way to justify Aesop Amnesia — after all, the equivalent of an Aesop-based kung-fu scene should leave everyone, including the viewer, sufficiently confused as to the purpose of the story that it's hard to hold it against the characters for failing to realize how they could apply this knowledge to other situations. This will most commonly end with characters concluding that they haven't learned anything, or they'll spend the ending of the show desperately trying to come up with an Aesop that works as a result. See also Here We Go Again!, Spoof Aesop, Lost Aesop. Compare Ignored Epiphany. |

One episode of Adventure Time has the main characters Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Beemo trying to get their prized possessions back from a thief called a Door Lord. When they finally reach him (via The Power of Friendship), the Door Lord refuses to give them their stuff back. Marceline then figures out that the Door Lord wanted them to learn that their treasures don't matter and that the real treasure was friendship. They then beat up the Door Lord, and take back their stuff. Similarly, the entire point of the Magic Man episode is that Magic Man is a jerk, even though Finn tries to find other Aesops. Adventure Time seems to be running with the lesson that sometimes people are jerks and not worth helping, but Finn has Chronic Hero Syndrome. |

In an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia the Gang is hired to be the test audience for the newest instalment of their favorite movie series, and hate it due to it being a PG-13 reboot. They're told that the reason for this is because R-rated movies are pirated more often and that they should support franchises they enjoy, but they decide to retaliate by leaking the screening online. The studio then releases a proper sequel, only for the Gang to almost immediately decide to pirate it once realizing they'd have to do another mad dash across town to catch the next screening. | |

The Simpsons has a couple of examples. "Blood Feud": "Rosebud": "Homer Goes to College" has a good time with this, as the actual moral in that episode is a lot clearer: "don't assume that College Is "High School, Part 2", and no matter what movies tell you, Wacky Fratboy Hijinks have real consequences." Homer demonstrates he completely failed to learn it. |

Villain Of Your Own Story: After learning about how the Ladybug Earrings and Black Cat Ring can be combined to Make a Wish, Alya decides that'd be the perfect way to learn Hawkmoth's secret identity, blowing off Marinette's warnings that Reality Warping Is Not a Toy. This creates an Alternate Universe where Alya was Hawkmoth all along, and nothing turned out the way she expected. So Alya decides that her best course of action is to keep "playing" the villain, get the Earrings and Ring again, and make another Wish — because clearly something went wrong with the first one, and the best way to fix it is to try again! | |

Frequently, American Dad! will deliberately break its own Aesops for the sake of humor. An example is in the episode "Threat Levels". Francine begins a career in real estate, and Stan becomes jealous when she starts earning more income than he does. Stan tries to sabotage her career, but by the end of the episode, he comes to understand that you shouldn't be jealous of your partner's success and that you should take pride in their triumphs. However, even after learning this, he still sabotages her career anyway. | |

In The Chosen Six, the Malfoys are forced to acknowledge as early as Draco's first year that their attitude towards Draco has left him with an inflated sense of his own importance and ability. Despite Narcissa acknowledging that Lucius stepping in won't help Draco learn anything, Draco himself continues to blame others for his shortcomings rather than accept that he made his own mistakes. | |

In the end it turns out that He didn't slept with any of them, and it was part of an elaborate prank on their part to convince him to stop drinking. He learns the lesson and decides to stop drinking. Then he discovers that while nothing actually happened with any of the women, it really did with Hasegawa, and decides to drink as much as he can to forget it ever happened. | |

In one Will & Grace episode, both the main characters have a favourite for the mayor of New York, on the basis that one candidate is gay and the other is a woman. They don't know anything else about their candidates, and when they host fundraisers they learn that both of them are horrible bigots. They realise that basing their opinions on the fact the candidate is a member of a minority group is a bad idea ... and are then both galvanised by the news that there's "a black guy". | |

Kim Possible: In one episode, Kim, Ron and the whole cheerleading squad return to Camp Wannaweep which has been converted to a cheer camp. Gil returns and has apparently been returned to normal — everyone believes that he isn't evil anymore, except Ron. Ron repeatedly tries and fails to prove that he is still evil. It then turns out that Gil is still evil and Ron ends up saving the day. At the end of the episode, Kim, Ron, and Bonnie try to figure out what the lesson is. Ron suggests, "Normally I'd say we learned that suspicion and paranoia is bad, except that's what saved us." After several more failed attempts, they all agree "Cheer camp stinks." | |

The Cutie Mark Crusaders from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are masters of this trope, most recently learning that they have to wait and do things properly rather than taking shortcuts, before promptly declaring they've waited long enough and heading off to find a shortcut. There was also the time they spent an episode forcing themselves to do things they're bad at, but think sound cool. They learned that they should be true to themselves, and respect their own talents. No, that doesn't mean they're going to try scooter riding, carpentry and singing; no, their true call must be comedy. (They did just win an award for comedy at that point... because their Epic Fail of a performance in the talent show made the audience laugh.) |

A running theme in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End). In all three films, Simon Pegg's character fails to do anything about the obvious lesson he should learn from events - Shaun keeps on half-arsing his life, Nicholas Angel doesn't learn how to switch off from being an absurdly dedicated Police Officer, and Gary King doesn't grow up (although he does quit drinking, so the man who messes up his friends lives and causes an apocalypse by his drunken immaturity is now... just immature). | |

One episode of Johnny Bravo has him send away for a mail-order girlfriend, and what he receives is an utter beast of a lady named Helga. Thus, rather than turn on the (ugh) "Bravo Charmâ„¢" he does everything in his power to drive her away by dragging her to a bunch of "guy" things that he likes, like a Monster Truck rally and a wrestling match. Helga, however, loves all this stuff, all the same things Johnny likes in fact, and just becomes more and more enamored with him. In the end, Johnny realizes he's actually really enjoyed her company too and that "her not being pretty and not smelling too good" really doesn't matter when the two of them are clearly made for each other. Though, rather than learning his lesson, he immediately shifts to his normal misogynistic "hey pretty mama" flirting... which repulses her and makes her dump him. He was SO close to figuring it out... | |

Invoked in the Pokémon: The Series fic Ash's Adventure: Girls' Hunter Edition; Misty notes that while she could get Gary banned from the League for his attempt to catch her as a PokeGirl before establishing who she was, Gary would just cry and complain and make a fuss about it rather than actually learn his lesson, so it's considered more 'fun' for her to help Ash become a good enough trainer to beat Gary. | |

This culminates in an awards banquet featuring an "inspirational" film about Gollum's life and a parade complete with dead fetus headbands. Gollum responds by calling them out on their behavior: she explains that she never wanted to be put on a pedestal, only to live her life and be treated like any other person. The response suggests that the message didn't quite sink in for everyone: "Chinpokomon": |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, Kaiba spends much of the film in an obsessive state, trying futilely to see Atem while being told that Atem has moved on and isn't coming back, with Yugi recompleting the Puzzle to prove it. Throughout the movie Yugi and his friends have moved on from the loss, Yugi gives Kaiba a speech directly telling him to move on, and Atem himself takes the Puzzle to the afterlife with him. Kaiba then decides that if he can't bring Atem back, he'll meet Atem by going to the afterlife instead, leaving Mokuba to run his company in his stead. | |

CliffSide: Waylon refuses to learn a lesson from the whole ordeal. Prompted by Jo, he admits to Cordie that he made everything up, but then quickly brushes past it. Facing off against Death Itself, he delivers a Spoof Aesop about how you can manipulate people by giving them validation, then manages to salvage the situation by appealing to his self-interest. | |
