** To be fair, in the dream the teacher also made her kiss Riley on the desk as a demonstration, but Buffy probably doesn't think that's a regular part of a psychology class. The Freud reference could have simply been more dream randomness—or even a link to the fast-approaching sexytimes. |

* The recurring character of Dr. Sidney Freedman on ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' was very much a Freudian psychoanalyst; in one episode ("Dear Sigmund"), he even writes a letter to Freud himself... despite the fact that Freud died in 1939, which B.J. promptly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]]. |

* In ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', Leslie Winkle suggests Penny is escaping into the [[MMORPG]] game ''[[Age of Conan]]'' as a result of sexual frustration. When Leonard disagrees, saying it is only to raise her self esteem and has nothing to do with sex, Leslie replies, "Everything has to do with sex." |

** Not to mention Leonard's mother, who is supposedly a world-renowned psychologist but extrapolates from Howard's dependency on his mother and Raj's inability to talk to women that they're [[Ho Yay|subconsciously homosexual]]. This is despite acknowledging that many of his theories are outdated. |

* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'': Data visits Freud on the holodeck when he starts having nightmares and trying to make sense of their meaning. (Data tries ''lots'' of different things in his quest for humanity, and this was just one quick stop. It's [[Fan Wank|entirely possible]] he even visited other therapists offscreen, and this was a [[Small Reference Pools]] thing, which ''[[Star Trek]]'' is somewhat notorious for.) Of course, it doesn't work. Holodeck Freud immediately jumps to father issues, but Data notes that he never met his father. Nor does he have a mother. Part of his nightmares was an image of him cutting into the shoulder of a Troi-shaped cake (causing him to assault her in the real world unintentionally, attacking a parasite he was 'subconsciously' aware of). At the end of the episode, Troi reverses this and presents Data with a Data-shaped cake. Data starts to slice into it, then pauses, and wonders: "What what Freud about the symbolism of consuming one's self?" "Sometimes, Data, a cake is just a cake." |
