Right Way/Wrong Way Pair	comment	A pair of characters are compared and contrasted against each other, where one character demonstrates the proper, moral, or effective way to do things, while the other... is a complete failure. The characters are likely The Paragon vs. the Anti-Role Model, although any contrasting foils will do. There's probably An Aesop (at least implied) that we're meant to act like the Right Way character and not act like— yeah, you see where this is going. As the Trope Maker is Goofus and Gallant, the characters, if they are named, set up in an Imagine Spot or something similar, will have rhyming, alliterative or Theme Naming. Quite a few examples could count as Stock Parodies. When the characters are related, compare Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling and Youngest Child Wins. In humor, compare Boke and Tsukkomi Routine. Also compare Good Angel, Bad Angel. May be an example of Black-and-White Morality. The "wrong" character may or may not be a Deliberately Bad Example.

Fred is a polite, responsible, well-groomed young man who works hard and treats women with respect. Frank is an obnoxious, disheveled, spiky-haired man who regularly commits perverted acts against women, torments his co-workers, and is generally a nuisance and danger to everyone around him.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_22d87fc9	comment	A strange 50's-style fantasy sequence in That '70s Show had "Doofus and Diligent" (Kelso and Eric, respectively) working at a fast-food restaurant. The segment was an Imagine Spot by Jackieâ€™s dad, using minimal character exaggeration, to show why Eric got the job and Kelso didnâ€™t. Jackie's dad intentionally (and rightly) framed her boyfriend Kelso as "Doofus". Eric, with the threat of his dad's foot up his ass, was of course "Diligent".

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_28c6afce	comment	Duck from Thomas & Friends holds the philosophy that there are two ways of doing things - The Great Western Way and the wrong way, and the Great Western Way implies that he works diligently without fuss. This was into play in "The Thomas Way" where Duck informs Thomas that the Great Western Way is to take Harold to the repairs without showing him the sights of Sodor which is a distraction from their work. Deconstructed as both methods cause "confusion and delay" and they end up Taking A Third Option.

When World does wrong, Frankie is stern but firm with him, and explains to him the consequences of his actions, which makes him feel remorseful for his actions but happy that Frankie understands and forgives him; Herriman, on the other hand, harshly scolds him on the spot and threatens him with the harsh punishment of separating him and Frankie forever, which causes him to have a panic attack and go One-Winged Angel on the gang.

The twist is that the pair are for educating children in the extremely screwed-up morality of Columbia (best described as "North Korea meets Gilded Age Eagleland, with horrific cyborgs"). Burial at Sea introduces Rapture's answer to Duke and Dimwit, Ryan the Lion and Peter the Parasite, a thinly-veiled reference to Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture (who Peter refers to is anyone's guess, they probably just needed something to alliterate with "Parasite").

Stan's Drill Sergeant Nasty parenting turns his Steve into a violent psychopath who kills (and eats) stray cats, while Francine's spineless babying makes her Steve become a spoiled, overweight slob who pushes her around.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_66fd2e30	comment	Subverted in Wax and Wayne, where both approaches work, but only with the right context. When Wayne and Marasi need to get a bank's ledgers, Wayne concocts elaborate disguises and backstories for the both of them (a rich old lord and his niece), so he can distract the employees while she sneaks in the back. Marasi just tells the manager that they're with the police and need to look at their ledgers, and the manager gives the ledgers as soon as he confirms their identities via telegram. They then trace their clue to a local graveyard, where they need the help of a gravedigger. Marasi is about to flash her badge again, but Wayne stops her and says that while authority worked on the bank manager, it would just make the gravedigger (who is running a less-than-legal graverobbing business) clam up. He then disguises himself as a criminal and her as his servant, and is chummy with the man within the hour.

Cadbury serves as a one-man example of this when he trains another butler by showing him first the wrong way, then the right way to act in a particular situation (e.g., making a pass at the maid as opposed to greeting her politely). However, the trainee's employer, checking up on his progress, always manages to catch Cadbury only when he's acting the wrong way, and in increasingly exaggerated fashion. She finally kicks him out, then is pleasantly surprised when her own butler performs his duties so well.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_920bdb7c	comment	In Kill Six Billion Demons, the characters Maya and Incubus were, in their youth, taken on as students by the legendary but eccentric Master Swordsman Meti after much pestering. She trained them together and taught them the same lessons, but with the implication that she only accepted the latter in order to show the former what not to do. The latter learned Metiâ€™s lessons to the letter, and used his skill to become a worlds-conquering warlord. Maya, however, picked up on the spirit of Metiâ€™s lessons, and while she also became a worlds-conquering warlord (implied to be far mightier than her counterpart), she ended up disillusioned with the kind of power you earned with swordpoint and abdicated to become a beggar, just like Meti, and regrets ever picking up a sword in the first place (also just like Meti). In the comic, Incubus consistently wields and uses a sword in ways that Meti's sword manual says one should ''not'' do.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: The Book of Proverbs' first 29 chapters carry the thread of contrasting the wise man and a fool. Many of the parables of Jesus in The Four Gospels take this form. The wise man built his house on a rock foundation; the foolish man built on the sand. The Pharisee was arrogant and Holier Than Thou in his prayers, the Tax Collector was humble and repentant and got right with God. The wise virgins kept enough oil for their lamps; the foolish virgins ran out and missed the wedding party. The rich man made himself comfortable on earth and suffered in the afterlife; poor Lazarus suffered on earth and was comforted in the afterlife. Subverted in the parable of the Prodigal Son: his foil The Dutiful Son did not make the same mistakes as his brother, but his self-righteousness and refusal to show grace demonstrate that he has his own moral problems to deal with.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_b3dea8b4	comment	This Modern World: Goofball and Galahad (seen in these two strips) are parodies of Goofus and Gallant, with the twist that Goofball brings up legitimate problems that Galahad tries to dismiss or explain away.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_b4963c9f	comment	An early episode of Good Eats had Alton and his Evil Twin B.A. making spaghetti. Alton did it the right way, and B.A. did it the wrong way, resulting in a boilover and a bad texture. Later episodes simply have B.A. demonstrate a way of preparing a savory (usually spicy) version of a sweet recipe Alton does.

The reversed order is done in "Boat Smarts" with good driver Squidward getting injured, while bad driver SpongeBob makes it through with hardly a scratch.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_c851c4bb	comment	In Nobody Scores!, Sara invokes this trope when she tries to pick up a guy by contrasting her career-focused, responsible, socially adept behaviour point-by-point with that of her unemployable, shiftless, insane roommate Jane... who ends up walking off with the guy because she likes to wrestle.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_ce42027c	comment	WarioWare: D.I.Y.: This is the approach for the tutorial for the game, in which Wario recklessly tries out the features of the game engine forming the core of the game, upon which Penny will demonstrate how to use it correctly. Occasionally, Wario will misinterpret what Penny means and not get the results he wants, upon which Wario gets nervous and Penny has to correct him. A downplayed example, however, in that Wario genuinely wants to understand the engine and eventually picks up on everything Penny teaches him. Wario is also a better artist than Penny and is able to demonstrate a few things himself that Penny cannot, such as artistic shortcuts unrelated to using the engine.

Right Way/Wrong Way Pair / int_ee6c1abc	comment	In the Strong Bad Email "hygiene", Strong Bad makes a PSA on the subject of hygiene, contrasting "popular rich kid Gene" (modeled after Strong Bad himself) and "cruddy fifth-grader John" (named after the guy who asked Strong Bad to make a PSA in the first place). The PSA goes off the rails as Strong Bad forgets to have Gene actually model any good behavior, instead describing how awesome Gene's life is because he has rich parents. Then he subverts it at the end: John goes to an out-of-state college and turns his life around, while Gene suffers under the pressure of his own reputation, knowing that if he slips up once, his "friends" will tear him apart like ravenous wolves.
