Alice has the power to (or has acquired a device that can) hypnotize a person, and she wants to try it out on Bob. Bob merely scoffs at this, saying that he cannot be hypnotized. However, Alice tries anyway, and ends up successfully hypnotizing Bob. If the character snaps out of hypnosis, expect him or her to say something along the lines of, "See? I told you I can't be hypnotized!" Distantly related to Tempting Fate. See also Un Paused. A form of Irony. Examples:
