* AllPartOfTheShow: Rob's suggestion activates while he's at work, including in front of the sponsor, much to Mel's dismay. Luckily, however, the sponsor believes Rob is working out a sketch and he heartily approves of the result.

Glen Jameson, a hypnotist, visits the Petrie home and demonstrates his craft on a number of guests. However, then Rob falls victim to a hypnotic suggestion meant for Buddy without anyone realizing. The suggestion activates and deactivates as he hears bells, turning the hapless Rob to and from a falling-down drunk at random.
!! Tropes:
* HypnoFool: Rob gets hypnotized while the hypnotist is attempting to plant a suggestion in Buddy. Unfortunately, no one realizes this, and Rob spends a lot of the next day acting drunk because of the suggestion.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Buddy really can't be hypnotised, although he plays along for a couple of minutes. Rob however acts the HypnoFool.

* WeakWilled: A hypnosis example, Rob was hypnotized into acting drunk when he heard a bell; but the subject of the hypnosis was Buddy, not Rob, and Rob wasn't even in the room when the hypnosis happened.
