Fake High: Difference between revisions

 

See also [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]] and [[Drunk on Milk]], for when this isn't an accident.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' uses this in the club of episode 15. Half the characters start acting as if they're drunk, even after it's confirmed that there's no alcohol served there. Carries over to the next day, [[Your Mind Makes It Real|where the ones who acted drunk don't seem to remember much of the previous day.]]

* In ''[[The Birdcage]]'', Albert believes that the "Pirin tablets" that Agador gives him actually calm him down. Guess what two letters Agador scratches off the tablets? That's right, they're really just aspirin.

 

 

* ''[[My Family]]'' had a marijuana joint that actually turned out to be made of cinnamon and oregano powered by the placebo effect shared by Ben and Susan. Effects range from Susan overcoming her habitual mental block as to how horrible her cooking is, Ben correcting the lyrics to Jimi Hendrix songs at the top of his voice.

* ''[[Frasier]]'' combines this with [[Mushroom Samba]] (the inversion). Niles gets a hash brownie, but Martin eats it without realising what it is, and replaces it with a normal brownie. And even when Frasier actually explains what happened, Niles ''still'' doesn't realise:

* An episode of the 90s talk show parody ''[[Night Stand With Dick Dietrick]]'' had host Dick and his assistant Mueller trying out a new drug that was all the necessary drugs for a day in a single pill. Not knowing he took a placebo, Dick's first words after taking the pill: "Whoa! Did anyone else just see a cow fly be here?" Needless to say, it gets better.

 

* The subject of a comedy routine by [[Adam Sandler]] in which a partying guy keeps telling the host how ''awesome'' his (acid/weed/beer) is, only to be told it's none of those things (the beer was nonalcoholic).

 

* In ''[[Persona 4]]'' Teddie, Yukiko, and Rise get utterly smashed at a nightclub while on a school trip... except Naoto informs you that the club doesn't even ''serve'' alcohol.
