Any autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) fans?

I still prefer ADSR.

.... I'm sorry, I was drifting off there for a minute. What were you saying?
 
 
Actually I know a guy who practices hypnotism. He says he can hypnotize someone just by talking to them while they know nothing about it.  Ever since he told me this I tend to keep my distance from him... just in case.
 
No that I think about it, that may be exactly what he hypnotized me to do. Hmmm.

That and act like a chicken.

Wasn't hypnosis shown to be a case of people going along with the hypnotizer because they don't want to make a scene by telling them it's not working?

No.  However, no one can be hypnotized to do something they really don't want to do.  That said, we're talking about the subconscious level here not the conscious level which is where your main choice discrimination takes place (for better or worse).  And this is exactly what hypnotherapy accomplishes, it bypasses the mind's line of defenses and communicates directly with the unconscious area (which is far more suggestible).  Advertisers use this religiously to bore your conscious mind while they brain wash you with their brand and thoughts that drinking some awful crap like Bud Light will somehow make you more popular and better looking.
 
Going back to your question, we learned in stage hypnosis class that there will be some that "go along" but they are actually poor subjects and we were taught how to avoid using them in any act.  I'm sure you can think of memories where someone you thought was very conservative maybe had a few too many and were acting wild and crazy.  Just because you're outwardly reserved doesn't mean that something inside of you doesn't dream of being an actor/actress or rock god.
 
Needless to say, the power to remove "common sense" as some people call it can be used inappropriately and we had a few required classes regarding practice ethics and morals (which were sometimes humorously ignored in class for instructional purposes - lol).  So when someone asks you why you've been running around the room pretending you're a chicken, it's actually because some part of you wants to have fun being an extrovert (or you're just a whack job   ).
 

 

I've never had a Bud Light.  I figure I've had beers in 18 different countries and, overall, the non-light version of Budweiser was the worst tasting of the bunch so I didn't see how the Light version could be any better.  Bud IS the best marketed though.  The next best might be Fosters... 
 
(I assume that's what you were asking about since I'm already popular and better looking, ya?)

Do you think I could be hypnotized to stop procrastinating? It's the bane of my life.....
