Well a cartoon trolling it's own fans isn't new. The Simpsons did it humorously in The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Showwhich was pretty controversial at the time. South Park does it fairly often I think, though perhaps never this blatantly. As far as this kind of plot bait, I can't think of a good example, but I'd be surprised if it hadn't been done before.
