Life sucks sometimes, doesn't it? You got fired from your job, your girlfriend broke up with you, and you're about to be evicted. Things have really taken a downward turn. But don't worry! It certainly isn't your fault.
See, there's these people. Bad people. They don't like you. They don't like much of anyone. And they oppress you. They have satellites that can beam pictures into your head, that's why you kept seeing all that stuff, lost concentration at work. They plant radios in your teeth so that you think you're Hearing Voices. They shoot these weird rays into your brain so that you have those... urges... it's not you. It's them. It's all their fault. They're the ones doing this to you! It's all them. All them, all them, all them, all—
What, you don't believe me? Well, you have to. Because otherwise, it would be you. It'd be all your fault. And that can't be right.
That's crazy.
After all, It's not my fault you're hearing voices in your head now, is it? Maybe you should try wearing a Tinfoil Hat to make them go away.

Equestria: A History Revealed: The Lemony Narrator seems to think that a lot of Equestria falls under this, and sees Celestia as the Diabolical Mastermind, even when things clearly point against that. That doesn't stop her from believing it though, and creating her own theories through copious amounts of Insane Troll Logic. In a more literal example, she states that as a failsafe, Celestia had placed a subconscious mind control spell on all of the mane six to control them if they get out of hand — and that's just one of the many mind control examples she believes Celestia supposedly utilizes.

The Simpsons: The episode "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes" has Homer create a lie for his blog saying that flu shots control the minds of children. Later, Homer is captured and taken to a mysterious island because his lie turned out to be true, as flu shots are given before Christmas so people will get the urge to shop.

In Paranoia, this is one of the Anti-Mutant secret society's many fears. This being Paranoia, it's a mix of truth and hair-trigger delusion.

Attack on Titan: The memories of the entire population seem to have been altered when humanity entered the Walls, removing all knowledge of the world outside the Walls. When Erwin's father theorized this to be the case, and Erwin let slip his father's theories in public, the 1st Squad murdered him. It's eventually revealed that King Karl Fritz removed the Eldians' memories of the world around them via the power of the Founding Titan after moving them to Paradis Island and raising the Walls, intending for them to live in peace after the Great Titan War that ended the Eldian Empire, and the Royal Government kept the existence of the outside world and the other humans in it a fiercely guarded secret ever since.

Welcome to the NHK: Sato and his senpai blame all of the troubles in their lives on conspiracy theories. Sato even believes the titular NHK is actually an organization that exists only to turn civilians into hikikomori like himself.

The X-Files:
The appliances in "Blood" command normal citizens to kill by catching them when their intense phobias are exploited. As in "Anasazi" below, an LSD derivative is used to incite the behavior.
Mulder's water is spiked with LSD in "Anasazi" in order to elicit violent behavior.
In "Wetwired", televisions send subliminal messages through red/green wavelengths, again eliciting violent, homicidal behavior. Scully almost succumbs, nearly shooting Mulder in the process. Mulder is unaffected, as it is revealed that he is red/green colorblind.
In the Lone Gunmen origin-story episode, Suzanne Modeski finds a tracking device the Conspiracy has put in her tooth which she removes with pliers, somehow managing to avoid passing out from the pain.

Avatar: The Last Airbender does not have one, no matter what anarchist propaganda the Gaang may preach about the honourable guardians of justice, the Dai Li. But why are we bothering you with all of this distressing talk? The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai — and you are, of course, pleased to serve him. And do remember — there is no war in Ba Sing Se. There is no war in Ba Sing Se. There is no war in Ba Sing Se...

In one Starsky & Hutch episode, a Serial Killer turns out to be a seriously deranged man who believes he's being mind-controlled. He wears tinfoil under his clothes to shield himself from radio waves, and his house has tinfoil wallpaper.

An episode of Stroker and Hoop involves a case where a client thinks Ron Howard is reading his thoughts and controlling his actions via satellite. He's right, by the way — this turns out to be how Ron Howard gets people to see his movies.
