Hypno Fool

After an experience with hypnosis, be it a stage performer or a friend trying out his "skills", a character finds himself the puppet of accidental or intentional post-hypnotic commands. The results can range from simple embarrassment to outright danger. Often the character has to be rescued from the brink of disaster before a reputable professional can rid him of his compulsions.

Almost invariably, the character originally bragged that he or she couldn't be hypnotized, which only compounds their later embarrassment at being Weak-Willed against hypnotism.

A variation of this trope is the unintended trance. This is where an innocent victim is hypnotized unintentionally, usually when someone else is hypnotized. The suggestions given to the intended subject are also accepted by the accidental subject, with the added complication that the suggestions are not removed from the unintended subject as they were from the intended subject.

Too bad this doesn't work in real life, according to Mythbusters. Both hypnotherapists and stage hypnotists generally agree that in order for someone to fall for a hypnotic suggestion, they must want to do it, and will automatically reject any suggestion that goes against their "moral fiber".

Although the person must want to do it, they still will, during a stage show or other non-threatening situation, follow instructions, even embarrassing ones. The key is for the hypnotist to encourage everyone to "play along" and have fun. As long as someone feels secure, they will "bark like a dog" or other actions. However, one should still make sure that they only allow themselves to be hypnotized by someone they can trust, or in the presence of someone they can trust (someone to knock the victim out of trance if the hypnotist tries anything funny).

Examples of Hypno Fool include:

Anime and Manga

  • In Ranma ½, Shampoo feeds Ranma hypnotic dim sum that, thanks to an accident, leaves him with the uncontrollable urge to hug anyone who sneezes. This, of course, occurs just as there's a cold going around the Tendō household.
    • Much later in the manga, Ranma uses hypnotic incense on Ryōga to make him confess his love to Akari (showing that Ranma doesn't learn from his own experiences). To this end, since Akari adores pigs, he conditions Ryōga to give a hug whenever he hears the word "pig". Of course, shortly thereafter Akari swears to never talk about pigs again, and Ryōga keeps stumbling on people saying "pig" in more and more ludicrous circumstances.
    • It should be noted that the traditional method does not actually work on Ranma in the manga (Happosai's friend tried it and Ranma mentions that mind tricks like that do not work on him), only those done by magical means work.
  • In One Piece, Jango the hypnotist often hypnotised himself, as well as his target(s); he eventually gets better at leaving himself out of it. Later in the same Story Arc, Jango hypnotizes the rest of his crew to be incredibly strong; unfortunately, he also hypnotizes Luffy... who goes on a rampage and beats the living shit out of ninety percent of Jango's pirate crew.
    • If you look, you'll see that Jango doesn't actually figure out how to not hypnotize himself, but rather learns to pull his hat down at the last moment so he's no longer watching the swinging disc. Occasionally, he forgets to do this.
  • In the first episode of the comedic Hentai Anime Nageki no Kenkô Yûryôji (distributed in North America under the title F³: Frantic, Frustrated & Female), main character Hiroe is given a poorly-phrased post-hypnotic command by her sister Mayaka—and as a result has an orgasm each time Mayaka touches her.
  • In Kimagure Orange Road, sometimes Kyosuke would try to use his psychic powers to hypnotize eiher himself (by looking into a mirror and use his skill) or others. Hilarity Ensues.
  • The main character Ren from Lost+Brain has a classmate sit in at a hypnosis demonstration and try to resist it's effects. The classmate is hypnotised anyway, and Ren manages to learn how to control people even when they aren't in a trance.
  • Nanapon from Seven of Seven can hypnotize people with her crystal. In one episode, she tries to teach Nana how to do this, but ends up hypnotizing herself.
  • When Isidro of Berserk trips and accidentally grabs Schierke's breast, which he calls small, she responds by using magic to make him act like a monkey.
  • In Code Geass, this happens to Princess Euphemia, who Lelouch offhandedly tells to 'kill all the Japanese' when explaining the nature of his Geass to her. She is forced to do so, despite her resistance because of her moral fiber, and is remembered as the Massacre Princess.

Films

  • The movie Office Space uses this trope cleverly: Peter is put into a relaxation trance, and then the hypnotist dies of a heart attack before he can bring Peter out of it. As a result, Peter remains free of stress even as his boss is frantically calling him to come in to work and stops caring about his job, which ironically leads to a promotion.
  • In the film The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, a hypnotist uses this to control the people behind various security systems. At the end of the film, one of the secondary characters lampshades it by pointing out that said people must have a little larceny in them—otherwise, the hypnotism wouldn't have worked.
  • Used at the beginning of the Barbra Streisand musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, which had been in its turn based on a Broadway musical. Not only does Daisy Gamble completely submit to the hypnotist's commands (issued to the on-stage volunteer), she even continues to obey his suggestions when the hypnosis has been lifted (she takes off her shoe when she hears the word "Wednesday.") As hypnosis is the main source of Phlebotinum in the film, which includes unconscious regressions into past lives, this is handwaved by the explanation that the main character is particularly susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.
  • In The Court Jester, the protagonist becomes the world's best fencer by this way.
  • The Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire film Carefree has Fred, as a psychiatrist, hypnotize Ginger and cause all sorts of crazy antics, as he keeps leaving her on her own. Eventually, when he finds out that she has fallen for him, he hypnotizes her not to be in love with him, and tells her that "men like him should be shot down like dogs!" which leads to further crazy antics involving her chasing after him with a gun.
  • This was performed in a Three Stooges short.

Shemp: (to Moe) You are now...in SING SING!
Moe: (Picks up a chair by the rungs, like jail bars) I am now in Sing Sing.

  • In The Woman in Green, Watson is hypnotized after declaring the whole thing to be fraud. He comes out of it wondering why he's no longer wearing shoes or socks. Later on the trope is Subverted by Sherlock Holmes after the same hypnosis fails to do anything to him.
  • In The Manchurian Candidate, Shaw jumps into a lake at the suggestion (not meant for him) of a bar patron

Literature

  • Literary (1959), and then movie (1962), example: The Manchurian Candidate. Having fallen under hypnosis quite by chance, Raymond Shaw promptly and unquestioningly obeys the suggestion that wasn't even meant for him: "Why don't you go and take yourself a cab and go up to Central Park and go jump in the lake?"
  • Richard also literally jumps in a lake—well, a canal—in response to a trigger planted by the titular Dirk in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Dirk was demonstrating to Richard why exactly one must Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts, particularly when there's an Absent-Minded Professor about in the bad habit of leaving his time machine unlocked...
  • In Heinlein's Double Star, the hero claims he's immune to hypnosis, goes out like a light, and wakes up while still disbelieving that he was hypnotized until the results are convincingly demonstrated.

    • And again in Time for the Stars, Tom and Pat Bartlett are hypnotized (while falsely thinking that they're under the effect of drugs) in order to bring out their telepathic abilities.
    • And yet again in Citizen of the Galaxy, where Baslim hypnotizes Thorby into remembering long speeches in foreign languages so he can later identify himself to Baslim's friends.
    • And yet again again in Space Cadet; 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.
  • The Wayside School books featured a hypnotist who loved to play pranks on his customers. For example, he hypnotized a woman to quit smoking, but added the suggestion that she slap her husband whenever he said "potato". Later there's a Brick Joke where one of his pranks bears fruit after the reader has stopped looking for it.
  • Harry Potter: Ron is still hopping several minutes after the Imperius Curse is lifted from the practice session.
  • This is the whole point of Captain Underpants: two kids hypnotize their principal into thinking he's a superhero they made up, but their method of ending the trance created a trigger that causes a relapse. Hilarity Ensues.
  • In Peter Straub's story "Blue Rose", the young Harry Beever hypnotizes his younger brother to swallow his own tongue. It is implied that soon afterwards, he does the same to a simple-minded man in the neighborhood.
  • This turns out very badly in one of a collection of stories inspired by The Twilight Zone. The fool in question is eventually hypnotized to think he's in an airplane—then he starts to think the airplane will crash. When it does, his body reacts as if he had crashed into the ground at the speed of sound.
  • Invoked in The Tightrope Men by Desmond Bagley, when discussing the Brainwashing someone apparently did to Giles Denison. British intelligence agent McCready is incredulous that it could be that effective, but psychologist Harding responds that he could hypnotize McCready to forever afterward avoid walking on a certain part of the floor ... and not realize there was anything odd about his behavior.

    • In that same episode, Frasier mentions the time he hypnotized Lilith as part of a prank, which Lilith denies. She then spends the rest of the episode doing increasingly ridiculous things (like taking off her shoes and breaking into song) every time someone says certain keywords. Naturally this is never mentioned again.
      • Specifically: "brie cheese" = take a shoe off, "tambourine" = begin unbuttoning shirt and "tractor" = sing "Tomorrow" from Annie.
  • Wings: Brian is able to make the skeptical Joe cluck like a chicken whenever he hears the word "tortilla." However, later Roy admits under hypnosis that he stole the life-savings of an old man and buried it in his back yard. The gang conducts a dig to locate the stash before realizing he was faking it and just wanted someone to dig the hole for his new hot-tub. Turns out, as he had insisted earlier, he really couldn't be hypnotized.
  • Neatly subverted in an episode of Perfect Strangers in which Larry claimed to be immune to hypnosis, proceeds to go under with consummate ease—then reveals about a minute later that he's only pretending, and he actually can't be hypnotised.

His daughter is disappointed because she tried out for the cheerleading squad and got picked as the mascot: a chicken. The hypnotist's advice to his daughter, overheard by his client, is to "cluck like a chicken for all you're worth!" On stage later, she did exactly that.
  • On News Radio Joe hypnotizes Jimmy to cure him of his fear of hippies. Matthew gets hypnotized too and messes things up until Joe makes him think he's a chicken.

At a press conference Dan excuses his actions by saying he was kidnapped and brainwashed by Soviet agents.
  • Though not quite an example, one episode of Boogie's Diner had the boss listen to a tape of "Tibetan Monk's Omming" to calm down. It worked remarkably well. Then the staff realizes they have an excellent severage package and tries to tape over the Oms so he'll fire them. Except they have to do it so it's hard to tell from the actual tape, which means matching the monks' tone of voice. What follows is basically a very serene musical number.
  • In The Sarah Jane Adventures, Clyde is victim to hypnosis, and Sarah Jane to scarily accurate predictions, during a visit to a show.

  • Big Kids—the entire concept of the show. The Parents start frequently acting like young children after a hypnotist's show.

  • My Hero (TV) combined this with The Fun in Funeral. One episode's A-plot has George Sunday (secretly the superhero Thermoman) being taken for dead as a result of his Bizarre Alien Biology acting up, while the B-plot has Mrs. Raven, the closest thing to a Token Evil Teammate 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 Pierce clucking like a chicken and Stanley claiming to be Spider-Man. 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.

When another client figures this out, the hypnotherapist triggers a command that makes her think she's on a beach vacation... causing her to walk off her balcony.
  • A rather low-key version appears in the Leverage episode, "The Scheherezade Job". In order for their heist to work, they have Hardison infiltrate an orchestra since he had been a violin prodigy when he was young. He was nervous about not having touched a violin in years, but when his solo comes he plays his part beautifully. The Reveal at the end is that Nate had hypnotized him to return to his childhood level of skill, 'shaking the cobwebs out' as he put it. It still earned Nate a big What the Hell, Hero? from the rest of the team, with callbacks to it in future episodes.
  • An episode of The Flying Nun has a dentist cross this one with a bizarre Freaky Friday Flip: He uses hypnosis to make Sister Bertrille and the Mother Superior think they're each other. Hilarity, of course, ensues.

    • There was running gag between Colin and Ryan on the show where one of the two would say something embarrassing and then say, "Sleep", causing the other's head to slump.

Later, when Ryan stumbles over what he's trying to say, Colin says, "Sleep. When you awake you will have perfect diction. Wake."
  • Top Gear's Richard Hammond was once hypnotised into not recalling how to drive. He was then filmed in a car looking completely baffled as to how anything worked. Later, in the studio, while discussing the experience, an earlier hypnotic suggestion was envoked which made him think a child's pedal car was his own, beloved car and that he would get unreasonably enraged when anyone damaged it. As he pedaled around the studio, Jeremy Clarkson got into another pedal car and ran into him. Hilariously, Hammond's road rage over the 'damage' amounted to little more than blustering "You ran into me!" in disbelief.
