Something which is spelled out explicitly or said aloud to the audience (especially the end of an episode) after already being considerably hinted at or alluded to in a smooth subtle form. These days, it's Lampshaded more often than not. Parodies using some kind of Spoof Aesop (like "never tell the audience what they learned") in place of the unstated theme or inverting it by having no theme, but mentioning the viewer knows what it's about are much more common. Can be a bad writing trope, but there are some times when stating the themes of a story in a memorable manner can make a powerful conclusion. Saw a resurgence in the 2010s, encouraged by a trend for thinkpieces discussing what pop culture actually means, meaning writers became more aware of the thematic importance of their work and started to view communicating these as its primary purpose. See also: Bookends, Anvilicious, Character Filibuster, And Knowing Is Half the Battle. Essentially, this is the script version of That Makes Me Feel Angry. Examples |

The typical Full House episode ends with these moments, with one of the daughters caught up in the conflict confiding in one of the adults (usually Danny Tanner) about how they messed up and how they get a moral about how they could've avoided the conflict (or the daughter comes up with the realization of what she could've done differently herself). The scene is usually backed by uplifting music and is punctuated with the two characters hugging. | |

Every episode of Adventures in Odyssey ends with Chris showing up to explicitly lay out whatever lesson (and, occasionally, plot development) had been the subject of the episode. This on top of the traditional Golden Moment, which is usually a bit easier to swallow. On the other hand, it's very safe to say by now that it just wouldn't be Odyssey without her. | |

Harry Potter would be Anvilicious about its morals even without Dumbledore ending every book with a detailed explanation of the plot and lesson learned. He shows his admirable dedication to the role by continuing to do this in book seven, proving that even the cold embrace of death cannot hinder him in his mission to explain the plot to stupid people. | |

The G and J emblems are flashing inside the jewels — synchronization ahoy.

Several episodes of Animaniacs ended with a segment titled "The Wheel of Morality". The Warners would spin the wheel, whilst Yakko chanted "Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn, tell us a lesson, that we should learn." The wheel would then stop, and an Aesop-style moral would be read out, totally unrelated to the events of the episode, as it was one of a number of random segments tacked on to the episode. Reaches the height of Spoof Aesop, when they win a prize! Although in the direct-to-video special Wakko's Wish, the Wheel's moral was the legitimate and thematic "never give up hope". |

In Evil (2019) at the end of episode "Rose390", the mother of a presumed psychopathic child who attempted to drown his baby sister tearfully tries to justify herself, just as David comes to announce he convinced the Church to attempt an exorcism on her son she though was possessed. As the audience can deduce from the police asking the father why there is blood on the wall in the back, it turns out the parent have murdered their child. However, the show still has David spell it out before leaving, shocked, right in front of the officers too. Whether or not the exorcism could have cured the boy remains untold. | |

Shin-Devilman, an Interquel to the Devilman manga, ends with Devilman pointing straight at the readers (and Commander Custer. It Makes Sense in Context. Somewhat.) shouting "The only demons here are those lurking within your hearts!" while a single, manly tear runs down his cheek. Apparently Go Nagai didn't think the message got through clear enough in the original series. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic uses this a lot. It also often has secondary aesops that might not be explicitly mentioned at all. The theme of friendship is explained at the end of many episodes, with the iconic line "Dear Princess Celestia..." Not always, however. A few episodes do not reiterate the message at all, and a few end with the characters moving to write the letter because that's what the characters would do, but not showing or dictating its contents. By the end of season five, the trope is dropped completely, as the writers felt that any kids watching since the first season would have grown up enough by that point that they wouldn't need to have the moral continually reiterated for them. The Zecora episode pre-empts Celestia's letter with a literal "don't judge a book by its cover" metaphor that was shoehorned in, after the characters had already learned their racism was wrong and apologized. Really felt like the studio was just trying to stretch out runtime. Subverted in the episode "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000:" |

Doctor Who: "Robot" is about a robot whose users consider it to be an emotionless object clearly and constantly making decisions based on emotion and love rather than on logic, which it doesn't seem to understand, showing special favor towards Sarah Jane, the only person who respects that it has feelings. The Doctor, recently regenerated, now has a strange childlike personality and appears totally clueless most of the time - but his actions also display striking maturity and a pattern of underlying logic, the combination of which eventually saves the day. The ending of "Robot" consists of a conversation where the Doctor and Sarah Jane discuss that even though killing the robot was necessary, the robot was a thinking and almost human being ("insane, capable of the greatest good, and the greatest evil...yes, I suppose it could be considered human"). This also implies a Plot Parallel to the Doctor's brand-new childish and rather darker personality, and segues into him informing Sarah that he is grown-up - he is just also childish sometimes. During the climax of the episode "The Beast Below", the star-whale is likened to the Doctor: "very old, very kind, and the very last of its kind..." Once the situation is fixed, Amy explains it more clearly. And then, just in case we didn't get it, she explains it to the Doctor again. (To make things worse, Amy's "Eureka!" Moment was shown as repetitive flashbacks. We're brighter than that...aren't we?) |

South Park episodes frequently end with Kyle and/or Stan announcing "I've learned something today". Then the character delivers either a Spoof Aesop or An Aesop played straight. This is spoofed in one episode where the boys keep making their situation worse even when Kyle successfully predicts how (terribly) things will turn out if they keep doing things the way that they are. | |

Near the end of the final arc of Megadimension Neptunia VII, Uzume has a Flashback that heavily implies that Umio is a creation of her daydream powers, based off of a man who protected her with his life, going as far to repeat an exact line from earlier in the game. Enjoy the moment while it lasts, however, because Neptune immediately proceeds to state it outright. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the musical episode "Once More With Feeling": After declaring to her friends that by bringing her Back from the Dead, they dragged her out of Heaven, Buffy begins dancing herself to death. Before she can burst into flames, Spike grabs her, stopping the dance, and sings that life is hard but must be lived on. Whereupon Dawn steps forward and quotes back Buffy's words to her from the season 5 finale: "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." While some agree that Dawn's line may be Truth in Television, others saw it as Anvilicious. | |

There's a moment in Free Guy where the titular Guy is rallying his fellow NPCs by telling them how much better their lives can be if they fought against the status quo in Free City. Then he mentions how in the real world, "We could be free from gun violence!" at which point his partner (who is a player from the real world) somberly notes that this isn't true, complete with a brief hanging of the heads in sorrow. The moment could have easily made the same point and flowed much better with the rest of the scene (e.g. "And you wouldn't have to worry about getting shot by random psychopaths!" "Ah, well, actually..."), but as it is, it just seems like a brief Public Service Announcement got awkwardly shoved into an otherwise lighthearted video game movie (the term "gun violence" is itself a very politically-loaded and highly partisan phrase). There's ostensibly an anti-violence theme running through the entire story, but this is the only point where it feels like the viewer is getting hit over the head with it. | |

Spongebob Squarepants: Parodied at first, but then played straight with season 9B. In "The Smoking Peanut", SpongeBob makes a speech about honesty while Patrick does sorrowful background music a capella. "Bulletin Board" is an episode about Internet bullying and how anonymity can make people say mean stuff without facing the consequences. It's not subtle about this (these are real lines of dialogue throughout): "Sandy's Nutmare" ends with a long analogy about saving the Earth, and then has the characters directly talk about what they've learned. The moral of "Mall Girl Pearl" is to not grow up too fast, as shown by the characters discussing it at the end. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Symbiosis". Tasha Yar evidently got busted for possession of drugs, so she had to do a public service announcement, to Wesley, no less, because kids are the future. | |
