- Brainwashing is a method used by one power to coerce, influence, or "teach" their subjects/victims into pledging his or her allegiance to them. The Goa'uld and Wraith often commit to brainwashing. However, Bra'tac claims to be able to sense whether or not someone was brainwashed, not through technology, just by looking into his or her eyes.

- Brainwashing is the main tool of many Conservative & Nationalist extremists who are utterly unable to actually make a logical point.
- Brainwashing was a technique developed by Long Feng in order to incapacitate those who opposed him and utilized by the Dai Li during the Conspiracy of Ba Sing Se as a means of keeping citizens from speaking of the Hundred Year War. The technique allowed the Dai Li to change attitudes, alter beliefs, augment personalities, and erase an individual's memories.
- The culprit behind most brainwashing in the Crash Bandicoot universe in N. Trance. He has used both hypnosis and helmets to mind control his minions. Other times, Dr. Cortex himself does the brainwashing. Crunch was originally conceived with brainwashing intact so that he would obey Cortex faithfully.
- Brainwashing (also known as thought reform or re-education) consists of any effort aimed at instilling certain attitudes and beliefs in a person — beliefs sometimes unwelcome or in conflict with the person's prior beliefs and knowledge, in order to affect that individual's value system and subsequent thought-patterns and behaviors.
- Brainwashing is a practice that began in the early 18th century. With the invention of the detachable showerhead, people rejoiced in finally being able to clean parts of their body previously unwashed. With the onset of disease, plague, fleas, and Gwen Stefani, it was soon realised that cleaning of the brain was needed to keep up with rising standards of hygiene. Numerous doctors experimented with ways to wash the brain, but inadvertently died from awareness (see below).

- Brainwashing is a practice that began in the early 18th century. With the invention of the detachable showerhead, people rejoiced in finally being able to clean parts of their body previously unwashed. With the onset of disease, plague, fleas, and Gwen Stefani, it was soon realised that cleaning of the brain was needed to keep up with rising standards of hygiene. Numerous doctors experimented with ways to wash the brain, but inadvertently died from awareness (see below). A notable contribution was made accidentally by Ernest Memingway while in another of his drunk stupors. While writing his book, For Whom the Tollbooth Bells, Memingway's maid served him dinner, but had accidentally put too much pepper in the mix. Memingway began sneezing. Then, suddenly, he sneezed so hard that his brain flew out of his nose and landed in the jar of piss on Memingway's desk. Memingway began admiring how the jar of piss cleaned the brain so effectively, washing away dirt and grime and beer stains. Fascinated, he watched for a whole 24 hours before realising he now lacked a brain, and promptly died. Luckily for Memingway, however, his maid was around and witnessed his dying scenes. She quickly fished out the brain and placed it back in his head before Memingway's blood stopped circulating. Memingway immediately jumped up, recited the first 8361317 digits of pi, finished writing his book in 10 seconds, picked up a bottle of booze and a blunt and started dirtying the brain again. Sadly, as with all other major contributions to science, Memingway did not know why he had succeeded where so many others had failed. He decided to devote the rest of his life to finding out the reason for his success. "The rest of his life" lasted a mere 10 seconds, however. In his haste to extract his brain a second time, he decided that it was too much trouble to pry his head open and instead attempted to get it out using a pistol. Needless to say, he succeeded.

In 1987, the American Psychological Association (APA) Board of Social and Ethical Responsibility for Psychology (BSERP) provisionally declined to endorse one particular approach to brainwashing as "lack[ing] the scientific rigor and evenhanded critical approach necessary for APA imprimatur". The debate amongst APA members on this subject continues.
