* ''Series/{{Profit}}'': Profit forces a psychiatrist to hypnotize his rival Joanne to cause her to self-destruct, increasing her obsession with Profit and making her feel guilty about eating or sleeping because she hasn't brought him to justice, as well as forcing her to relive her traumatic childhood memories. While she gets better, her credibility and accusations against Profit are blown to bits.

** And yet again ''again'' in ''Literature/SpaceCadet''; the hero is subjected to an hypnotic lesson in the Venerian language. He emerges from it feeling unchanged, and is convinced that he was never hypnotized at all until he returns to his quarters and starts amiably cursing his Venus-born roommate -- in fluent Venerian.

* ''Series/MyHero2000'' combined this with TheFunInFuneral. One episode's A-plot has George Sunday (secretly the superhero Thermoman) being taken for dead as a result of his BizarreAlienBiology acting up, while the B-plot has Mrs. Raven, the closest thing to a TokenEvilTeammate on the show, taking up the kind of hypnosis program which features "You will quit smoking. Then you will start drinking. Then you will come to me with your drinking problem." When the minister is listing George's three traits, we get events such as [[SmallNameBigEgo Pierce]] clucking like a chicken and Stanley claiming to be Franchise/SpiderMan. When "These are the things we will remember him for" comes around, we're treated to a rendition of the YMCA by these three; "ten", incidentally, is the chicken dance.

* This can happen if a post-hypnotic trigger is set up improperly, as in "Whenever you hear X you will do Y". This is unsafe because the subject will do the action regardless of context even if it is inapropriate, embarrassing or even dangerous to do so. They can resist of course, but the struggle between subconscious mind wanting to obey the command and the conscious mind knowing that they shouldn't is still disterssing to the subject. More experienced hypnotists avert this by wording the trigger in a way that limits it to a specific context or person, such as the hypnostist who set it up ("Whenever I, and only I, say X you do Y. When other people say it you will ignore it") or that it would only work when the subject is comfortable doing the action (When you hear X and it is safe and appropriate to do so, you will do Y)
