** This trope is actually PlayedForDrama in the UsefulNotes/{{P|layStation2}}S2-only Tsukiotoshi-hen. When [[spoiler:Keiichi, Rena, and Shion]] all plan out how to kill Satoko's uncle, [[spoiler:Shion]] comes up with the idea of using Satoshi's bat as a way of having Satoshi get revenge on Teppei and starts cracking up. Rena follows, but Keiichi is hesitant, so they both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPkF2_EakeM&feature=related urge him to laugh too]] and look progressively more insane and threatening. He finally goes along with it, indicating his tenuous grip on sanity at this point.

* This is one of ComicBook/TheJoker's recurring schticks, played not for comedy (usually) but for the disturbing way he forces his victims to play along. A particularly memorable occurrence-- In the story "Dreadful Birthday, Dear Joker", he catches one of his henchmen failing to join in the laughter. He [[BadBoss terminates him with extreme prejudice]] by using a BANGFlagGun (which could have inspired a similar YouHaveFailedMe sequence from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.) An identical scenario occurs in ''Comicbook/BatmanVsTheIncredibleHulk'', also written by Len Wein.
