* Since olden times, folklore across many cultures has attributed snakes with many preternatural abilities, with a hypnotic gaze being a common one. This particular myth often points to the snake's unblinking stare as it approaches its prey, the prey itself remaining frozen in place despite the impending threat, and how the snake occasionally moves its head from side to side or back and forth in what seems like the manner of a hypnotist. That is not the only explanation for these phenomena, however. While the snake may have a hypnotic gaze in folklore, they probably don't elsewhere.

* Agent Superball in the second season of ''SamAndMax'' does this through his Secret Service shades if Sam insists in believing in TimeTravel. In the future. With the time travel machine only 4 meters away.
