Line 52:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Law and Order (Franchise)|Law and Order Criminal Intent]]'' had Detective Goren fake insanity to get committed to a mental hold implicated in torturing its prisoners. While there, he proves they were indeed doing just that when his existence as a cop comes out and blows the corrupt staff's cover, but upon leaving he's clearly shaken by the abuse he went through, with heavy implications it had genuinely eroded his sanity.
* In the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Frame of Mind", Riker has a role in a play as a character whom this happens to, but then it turns into a [[Cuckoo Nest]] as play and reality start mixing, and Riker has to convince himself he's not insane. Ultimately it involves aliens, of course.
* As part of a scheme JR Ewing had himself committed in ''[[Dallas]]''; it didn't work out so well.
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
** Which kind of bit Lionel in the butt. He had, by this point, already spent some time investigating Clark to try and figure out the [[Secret Identity|mystery]] surrounding him. He then sees a security recording of Clark visiting Lex in the asylum, where Lex admits to knowing Clark's secret - but he only sees this ''after'' he's had Lex given the electroshock.
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', Dean and Sam check themselves into an asylum (to hunt a murderous monster). Subverted by the fact that they actually begin to lose their minds. {{spoiler|A wraith did it, and they get their minds back}}.
