Hello everyone! I wondered if you knew scenes from any fictional verse where one or more characters fall victims to something that alters their personalities/minds to become extremely stupid.

Some of the only example I know that involve that are ep 5 of "Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera (2011)" and several eps of yokai watch including ep 64 that feature "Bakazukin" an invisible yokai hat that that makes people who wear it completely stupid.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, there's that Star Trek episode The Changeling, where a robot probe wipes Uhura's memory. Later in the episode she can be seen relearning basic skills such as reading.

There is an old CG show about anthropomorphic programs living in a computer called Reboot. In one episode a kid named Enzo, feeling insecure, sneaks in the Central Office room which contains the clockspeed managing device for the city of Mainframe. He asks for a clockspeed adjustment that would make him twice as smart as anyone else in Mainframe. The device fulfills Enzo's wish, not by making him smarter, but by making everyone else dumb.

Thanks! That sounds pretty dope! Thank you again for taking some of your time to reply!

Thanks to you too! This is typically the kind of stuff I'm looking for! I appreciate the fact you took some of your time to answer that question

There was an episode of Totally Spies (because OF COURSE they would have this fetish covered too) where the spies were facing off against an evil quizz show host. He was using a device to steal the intelligence of his contestants. During the investigation Sam (because OF COURSE it's her) goes on his show and gets turned into a drooling idiot.

the DEVO chamber scene in Super Mario Bros (1993) live action movie starring Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo. pretty dark scene i remember seeing when i was very young.

Thank you again for the help! It's always a pleasure to discover new stuff!
