	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In most sitcoms there is always the one character who is responsible and trustworthy. They are structured, neat and orderly and would never think of doing anything reckless or illegal. They might be a Control Freak but they don't have to be. If this character exists in the series then 9 times out of 10 there's going to be an episode where one of the other characters tells them they need to "lighten up" or "cut loose". Our responsible character will start to worry that they are too boring and so will eventually get wild and spontaneous. It's almost a given that they will go overboard and something akin to an inverse We Want Our Jerk Back! happens where the rest of the characters realise they do need some order and discipline in their lives, which the responsible one provided. They'll be back to being responsible by the end of the episode and they'll either reveal how much they hated being spontaneous or resolve to be a bit more fun without going overboard. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })If it's the latter then expect this to be forgotten by the next episode. This will almost always happen to a female character but male examples aren't unheard of as well. Examples:

She refuses to swallow it, however, and runs to the sink to spit it out. Later on, Teddy makes a more earnest effort at being bad by ditching school and going to Super Adventure Land. After taking down a theft ring at the park, Teddy realizes she just doesn't have it in her to be a bad girl and embraces her goody-good image.

So after thirty-five years of being the most responsible person on Nantucket, he finally loses it, gives an epic "The Reason You Suck" Speech and then steals Lowell's motorcycle to get away. By the time we catch up with him in Part 2, he's now partying and living it up in bars along the coast. He's basically become like Brian, who is now trying to keep the airline afloat and be the responsible brother.

Driving seems to be her recurring Berserk Button. In "Separate Vocations", Lisa becomes a delinquent after getting "Homemaker" in an Inept Aptitude Test and being told that she'll never become a professional Jazz musician due to her stubby fingers. This culminates with her committing an expulsion worthy offense (stealing all of the teachers' guides) to which Bart takes the fall, not wanting her to ruin her life.

/ int_2858b08a	comment	One episode of Full House has Danny, already Obsessively Organized when it comes to neatness, taking his cleaning habit up a notch, much to the chagrin of the rest of the family. They gather in D.J.'s room to commiserate and call Danny a "psycho with a dust mop"—a statement he inadvertently overhears as he was in the closet at the time. Danny thus decides to completely loosen up and become "Dirty Dan," and the family realizes they went too far with their griping. Another episode has Michelle trying to break up a budding relationship between Danny and Gia's mother by donning biker clothes and asking her for a cigarette (keep in mind that she's about nine at the time). Danny understandably goes ballistic. One of the minor story arcs in the first and second season was Jesse slowly realizing that he was losing his "wild" edge as he became more comfortable in a domestic environment. More than one episode had him trying to recapture that element by partying, dating, or performing dangerous stunts. This was a recurring theme with Stephanie in the later seasons of the show, especially as she tried to develop a personality for herself independent of older sister D.J. and younger sister Michelle. Various episodes had her doing things like piercing her ears, being tempted to smoke cigarettes, playing a revenge prank, and going joyriding. While she inevitably learned her lesson about being true to herself at the end of each one, she did genuinely develop into more of an "alternative" teenager as time went by, especially as she bonded with Gia.

After that, Mooch lets Rolly join his gang, and dubs him "Snake Stomper". "Walk on the Wild Side" was about Rolly becoming a con artist under Swamp Rat's wing, after the other pups accuse him of being a "sucker".

It involves all the X-girls and Boom-Boom forming a vigilante crime-fighting group, even Jean who is the responsible one. The Aesop of the episode is that fighting crime (with people willing and able to kill you and that can succeed if you're unprepared, mutant powers be damned) is not exactly the best place for a "You Go, Girl!" mentality.

Winston and Nick tell her its a bad idea to try to change him, but are too caught up in their own immature feud to stop her. Jess eventually does get him to unwind and he turns into a dirty, drum-circle-loving, crystal-necklace-wearing, slacker who no longer cleans up after everyone in the apartment, does all the shopping, or shows up to work. As the apartment starts to fall apart around them, Jess and the others have to stage an intervention and lure him back to acting like himself with some (literal) fancy-pants. After he's back to normal, he's a little less uptight and more accommodating (but not much).

In the episode, Lincoln, Leni, and Luan start reading Luna's secret diary and read stories about her becoming friends with a schoolmate named Roxy, who encourages her to do bad things like skipping school to go to the cinema, getting tattoos, and going into night clubs instead of studying for her finals. When reading that she is going to do riots and vandalism around town that night, the three of them go out to foil their plans. Then it turns out it was all a ruse: Luna made up all the stories because she overheard her siblings talking about reading her diary the first time they (albeit accidentally) did it and wanted to pressure them into confessing. Also, Roxy never existed, but Luna's girlfriend Sam posed as her for the final part of the plan.

Inside, he finds that everyone else has a Easter Island head house, everyone else loves playing the clarinet, everyone else loves riding their paddlebikes, everyone else loves ballet dancing, and everyone else enjoys eating canned bread. He's thrilled at this, but soon gets bored of the same routine every day, to the point where he starts going out of control and just lets loose while playing around with a leaf blower. The other citizens filled a formal list of complaints, but Squidward tells them off by flying his leaf blower into the sky while screaming wildly. In an earlier episode, Plankton wants to clear Goo Lagoon of people so he can build his new "Mega Bucket" restaurant. He recruits Spongebob to help him by claiming that he's helping him become more assertive, which gradually turns the cheerful sponge into a rotten one. Unlike most examples of this trope, Spongebob is initially aware that his actions are rude, but Plankton is able to convince him otherwise. In the end, Spongebob makes amends by proving that it's possible to Take a Third Option between being a selfish jerk and a spineless coward by being "aggressively nice" and helping others with their problems in a firm way.

/ int_ec25a849	comment	The Disney version of Doug has "Doug Cuts School", where Doug, convinced that girls like rebels, decides to skip school during an assembly and convinces Skeeter to go along for the ride with Vice-Principal Bone in hot pursuit. Their attempt turns out to be all for naught and the episode ends with Doug and Skeeter in detention.

He wakes up next morning with a sprained ankle, burned coat, several drunken messages on Robin's phone and a girl he's never met before in bed next to him. Oh, and a pineapple for which we never get an explanation.

/ int_f6b6fa77	comment	Used as a bit of a joke in the film of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where Hermione remarks that it's fun breaking the rules. It's worth noting that in the book, it is Hermione's idea to start up an illegal Defence Against the Dark Arts society which could technically count as an example of the trope.

/ int_f6c05e8e	comment	Monica in Friends got two examples of this: One was a minor subplot where the other friends suggest she not get so uptight about things like coasters and leaving her shoes out of her room. The end of that episode has a moment where she can't sleep because she's worrying about leaving the aforementioned shoes. She gets to considering putting them in her closet and getting up early to put them back out before she realises "you need help" and goes to sleep. Another episode had someone stealing her credit card. When Monica tracked the woman down, she found said woman a lot of fun and started doing everything with her to the point where she was drunk in the middle of the day and kept missing work.

/ int_f6fe1bfc	comment	In Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Zelda temporarily moves in with Sabrina and her college roommates and decides to become a "hang-loose gal" which involves eating the entire contents of the fridge, spending all night at a rave, driving around in a van with a guy named Vick and trying to get a tattoo. In this case it's resolved by Zelda's subconscious stopping her from doing something untrue to herself.

/ int_fc0e7530	comment	One Dexter's Laboratory short has Dee Dee getting one Get Out! yell too many from Dexter and firing back a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that affects Dexter so bad that makes him decide to look for more zen in life, asking Dee Dee to teach him. Unfortunately, when given the request to "go wild" on his laboratory (to show his "detachment from his earthly possessions" in the Zen way), he becomes such a demented savage that Dee Dee becomes seriously frightened and slaps some sense back into him, tearfully asking for forgiveness in trying to make Dexter something that he's not.

/ int_fe30da6	comment	In a two-part episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, Disc Jockey Dr. Johnny Fever falls into an alter-ego (Rip Tide) a shallow host of a Disco-themed t.v. show. This provides him with more fame and a larger fanbase but it also causes him to give into his urge to exploit his fame to satisfy his basest desires.
