When the Professor Accidentally Hypnotized Gilligan

in HypnoChain3 years ago (edited)

I took a few days break and now I am back again posting about hypnosis. In my last post I left off with the Professor (Russell Johnson) trying to hypnotize Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) who thought she was Ginger (Tina Louise). The Professor's plan did succeed - on Gilligan (Bob Denver).

Gilligan was eavesdropping on the impromptu hypnotherapy session from a nearby window. As Mary Ann's head dropped down Gilligan fell asleep at the window unbeknownst to the Professor.

Professor: Now, I want you to repeat after me. When I hear the name "Mary Ann"...
Mary Ann: When I hear the name "Mary Ann"...
Gilligan: When I hear the name "Mary Ann"...
Professor: I will become Mary Ann...
Mary Ann: I will become Mary Ann...
Gilligan: I will become Mary Ann...

After the Professor snaps his fingers both Mary Ann/Ginger and Gilligan come out of their hypnotic sleep. The Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) then gets Gilligan's attention and both of them leave.

Later that day Gilligan was taking a bath in their hut as the Skipper was talking to him. After the Skipper refers to "poor Mary Ann" the post-hypnotic suggestion is triggered in Gilligan. Gilligan, believing he was Mary Ann, started to talk in a high pitch voice imitating Mary Ann's. Gilligan/Mary Ann started splashing bath water at the Skipper while accusing the Skipper of being a peeping Tom.

After the Skipper left to find the Professor for help Gilligan/Mary Ann looked around at the surroundings and concluded "she" must be in the boys' hut by accident. Wrapping "herself" in a towel Gilligan/Mary Ann went to the girls' hut and found Ginger wearing "her" clothes.

The Professor and Skipper eventually show up as Ginger dressed as Mary Ann was trying to coax a freaked out hypnotized Gilligan from out under a bed. The Professor undoes the post-hypnotic suggestion.
