Line 67:
* "Skullcrusher Mountain" by [[Jonathan Coulton]]: "The voices that control me from inside my head say I shouldn't kill you... yet."
* "Absolutely Bill's Mood" by [[They Might Be Giants]]. Formerly the page quote.
* [[Harvey Danger]]'s "Flagpole Sitta": "I hear the voices in my head I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring..."
Line 95:
* Meg Griffin of ''[[Family Guy]]'' exhibits increasing [[Sanity Slippage]] and wishes that she had softer voices in her head.
* [[Ax Crazy|The Joker]] of ''[[The Batman]]'' once mentions "''Another'' voice in my head? The more the merrier!"
* ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats (2011)]]'' has [[Ax Crazy|Kaynar]] who once mentions "At least I'll have the voices in my head to talk to."
Line 127:
** In ''[[Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets]]'', Harry starts hearing the basilisk's voice. Another subversion in that he isn't actually hearing voices in his head; it's just that he understands Parseltongue, so all anyone else can hear is a faint hissing.
** Ron hears these in ''[[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows]]'' when he wore the [[Soul Jar|horcrux]] necklace.
* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s ''[[Warhammer
* Celmomas in ''The Second Apocalypse'' has a voice in his head. It's probably not a good voice considering what a creepy psychopath he is.
Line 224:
* ''[[Clone High]]'': Joan thought she was finally hearing the voices of her [[Cloning Blues|original self]], but in fact a had radio transmitter stuck in her teeth.
* In ''[[Wakfu]]'', [[Big Bad]] Nox claims that he can talk to the Eliacube, the [[Artifact of Doom]] which both [[Amplifier Artifact|gave him his powers]] and [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|ruined his life]].
=== Real Life ===
* St. [[Joan of Arc]] thought her military campaign was a literal [[Mission
** The soldiers following her were by and large convinced this was an example of the Good variety. Their faith in her and her mission drove them to many victories as a result.
* These tropes can be thought of as the [[Theme Park Version]] of hearing voices, which for many is [[Truth in Television]]. People can hear evil voices that are abusive and disturbing, good voices that are helpful and supportive, neutral voices, or a mixture of these. Voices may give good or bad advice. Whether people actually listen to their voices depends on the individual and the type of voices. Whether people interpret their voices as coming from religious sources or not depends on the individual, and whether the people who hear them are insane or not depends on the individual. In [[Real Life]], hearing voices is generally unrelated to [[Split Personality]].
