== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', Kotomi sees a bus crash and hearing that Ryou might have been on the bus caused her to have a [[Freak-Out]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB40_Vxd2Fw Observe].
== Comics ==
Line 23:
* In the [[Alfred Hitchcock]] movie ''[[Spellbound]]'', an amnesia victim becomes uncomfortable every time he sees a pattern of wavy dark lines against a white background, because it reminds him {{spoiler|of the event which caused his amnesia - he had witnessed a murder at a ski resort, the dark lines were ski tracks in the snow}}.
* The original version of ''[[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|The Manchurian Candidate]]''. Actually one of the first films to explore triggering in depth, before the term was even generally used to describe it. While there's plenty of [[Critical Research Failure]] and such to go around and using triggers to create an assassin is likely impossible in [[Real Life]] (thankfully), and while it is definitely [[Played for Drama]], the idea of using emotional triggers to manipulate people into doing things they would not otherwise do or act against their own self-interest is actually [[Truth in Television]].
* In ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]'' (2011), they find Animal in a therapy session to control his aggressive impulses. Turns out "drums" is a trigger word for him, to no one's surprise. It's also one for [[Jack Black]].
