Mind Screw/Web Original

"Nostalgia Critic: A cat and mouse are driving a ship trying to save the daughter of Indiana Jones while being chased by a purple people eater, a dog on a skateboard, a performing ship captain, his hand puppet Squawk, two Mexican wrestlers and a doctor riding an ice cream cart. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mindfuck."
 * The Demented Cartoon Movie, anyone?
 * This parody of inception by Rooster Teeth will mind fuck you even worse than the movie did...
 * Oktober starts out fairly normal, then you notice that they seemingly can't spell Oktober right, and every character's interpretation of Katie seems to be different, and then they start doing backwards text parables, and then
 * aardvarkbutter.com. absorb the lovely.
 * Certain veins of Lonelygirl15 videos veer toward this. Specifically, while LaRezisto consistently has a few clear points amongst the smoke and mirrors, OpAphid just seems to be weird-for-the-sake-of-weird half the time.
 * OpAphid is like that. It's even worse in Redearth 88.
 * The League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions had some moments: the idea that it was both a story of superheroes in the future & a TV show about superheroes in the future was one; the Queue's explanation of how they created the LICC universe was another; although the Gerber Elf was the only one we know was an intentional Mind Screw on the part of an author.
 * The Nostalgia Critic references one chase scene near the end of the Tom and Jerry the Movie. The scene is shown while The Critic goes a little nuts himself.

"Nash: (While holding Space Core) You're weird."
 * And now we have Top 11 Nostalgic Mindfucks which will all no doubt be joining this article very soon... if they aren't here already.
 * He also suggests that Moonwalker should've been named 'Mind F*** er' instead.
 * And then there was the dream sequence halfway through the review for Junior. And for those of you who want to know about the music which plays during the dream sequence, the tune was "Phantoms" by American Space Rock band, Paik.
 * Also from That Guy With The Glasses we have the "Coffee With Bargo" segments, in which Bargo (the guy who plays Ma-Ti in various videos) rambles on about Alice in Wonderland and tells a story. The thing is, though, he insists that Alice represents a penis among other things, and his story starts out with him following a penguin into a portal and it only gets worse from there.
 * The Nostalga Critic's review of Doug's 1st Movie pokes fun at Doug's (the cartoon character, noto the critic himself) bizarre imagine spots by showing The Critic's bizarre Imagine Spot. Nash sums it up nicely-

"Spazz: How did you get here? Wire: Get where? Spazz: Like, here. In reality. Wire: I'm not here. Spazz: *poke* You are. Wire: No I'm not. Spazz: Well then what the hell am I doing, dreaming? Wire: No, not this time. Spazz: I thought that was an insane Inception reference? Wire: It was, that time. This time it's a Dream Within a Dream. Spazz: But isn't that also an Incep - how are you here?! Wire: I crawled through a river of shit and came out the other side clean, okay?!"
 * Some of the news reports Nash reads on What The Fuck Is Wrong With You? fall under this just for the sheer insanity regarding the people involved.
 * Charlie the Unicorn. Full stop. Just head over to it's WMG page if you want to see how zany things can get.
 * Salad Fingers. To some, it's not just a Mind Screw. It's full-blown Mind Rape, complete with post-trauma (again, to some).
 * David Firth's other creation, Spoilsbury Toast Boy, is particularly full of this as well. Come to think of it, anything David Firth makes is chock full of Mind Screw.
 * The entire premise of Youtube Poop.
 * Inward Hellix combines this with Guide Dang It and classic psychological horror to produce a major mindfuck of an online puzzle. It doesn't help that answers are rarely (if ever) published.
 * There Will Be Brawl.
 * The entirety of The Slender Man Mythos tends to feature these. Obvious examples are Marble Hornets (and especially totheark's videos), Dreams in Darkness and Just Another Fool.
 * Time Cube. You'll need to be in a different frame of mind to get anything out of it.
 * Pavlov's Checkmate and Card of Ten have somewhat convoluted plots and quite a bit of bizarre elements.
 * BRODYQUEST. In a good way, though. Maybe.
 * Kings of Power Four Billion Percent: just try to understand the plot and the on-screen actions, it's one big Mind Screw.
 * Only one room, a freaky Japanese short film.
 * Season 3 of Red vs. Blue introduces a group of constantly resurrecting soldiers, a time bomb, an endlessly repeating time loop, "Yellow Church", and a talking bomb to a series previously known for a more laid-back style of humor featuring a box canyon where nothing happens. Recreation (Season 7) and Revelation (Season 8) apply a Mind Screwdriver to most of this.
 * But Revelation then manages to take it further by revealing that
 * Lauren's Cartoons, so much. Whether it's Jesus inexplicably appearing before Dora and Boots to give them a glass star, or a name named Batman sticking lightbulbs in his Eye Globes, it would be enough to give you a contact high... except for the fact that no drugs were involved (we think), and the story was written by what must be a very delusional five year old.
 * The Homestar Runner toon, 4 Gregs. Shapeshifter too.
 * As mentioned on the fan works page, everything by Chriddof. Videos (over 300 of them) range from Youtube Poop-like vids to uncanny 3D animations to genuine-seeming videos with a twist to odd spoken words and downright surreal stuff.
 * Neil Cicierega with Hyakugojyuuichi, turning the Japanese credits theme from the first season of Pokémon into this.
 * Cyriak's videos, including this disturbing video starring a sheep. Baaa..
 * Deja Vu, a short film on YouTube actually has this trope as part of its subtitle, and for good reason.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Special Edition starts off normally enough, until random bits of footage start getting spliced in, and multiple levels turn out to be a Show Within a Show or All Just a Dream. Then the game starts breaking every fourth wall in sight, with Tails holding conversations with the player, and even threatening the people watching the LP of the game. Then it spins the Gameplay Roulette wheel a few times, and pulls a few Fission Mailed scenes. By the time Sonic is flying through space, being attacked by Sega game systems, the player gives up understanding what's going on and just embraces the madness. Fittingly, the final boss is
 * Pon Pon Pon. Good luck trying to figure out what's going on. Whatever it is, it seems to involve microphones coming out of people's ears and eyeballs dancing.
 * ''Project Million" brings us Spazz trying to determine how The Wire got out of the television.
 * ''Project Million" brings us Spazz trying to determine how The Wire got out of the television.


 * He spends the next few moments trying to figure out what that even meant.
 * APPLE.MOV, it starts out relatively normal with a few odd things in it
 * Mind My Gap. Have fun trying to figure out how the story's timeline works.
 * Candle Cove is a good, but fairly subtle, Creepypasta example. In short, a bunch of people who grew up in the late 60's and early 70's reminisce about a TV show that aired in 1971 on a message board. After establishing the show as being terribly not-for-children and one description of a nightmare about it, the last few posts reveal that
