Gotta Get Your Head Together is the resulting trope, most frequently seen in comics, sci-fi, games, and animation.

It often precedes Your Head Asplode. As mind manipuation technology has not yet been perfected, we cannot ascertain whether or not the psychic variant is Truth in Television. The sonic version is, though. Examples of Gotta Get Your Head Together include:
