Hello, Troper. Would you like to know about the Trigger Phrase? Good. Then just sit back and relax.
The Trigger Phrase is a post-hypnotic suggestion used primarily in Speculative Fiction. The phrase can activate a Deep Cover Agent or Manchurian Agent, so hidden that the person may not even know they are an agent. The phrase can practically be anything, even a piece of music. It's like a Brown Note specifically programmed into an individual.
Are you feeling okay, Troper? Do you wish me to continue? Good.
The Trigger Phrase may also be used to activate latent physical prowess (or, to use the layman's terms, "asskicking"). A Berserk Button that not even the characters themselves know about, used when situations are about to get dangerous. Sometimes, it will help them remember something.
Is everything all right, Troper? There is no need to go on. There is only one thing left to say about the Trigger Phrase. And that's this:
In each shadowy corner there lurketh a ghost.

In Dune, the Atreides slave gladiator who fought Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen received a post-hypnotic suggestion to have his muscles go slack when he heard the word "scum". The Bene Gesserit also do this to people they consider dangerous: one Trigger Phrase they use is "Uroshnor".

In Twig, almost all of the Bad Seeds clones have a "killing phrase", making them immune to pain and utterly dedicated to completing their task. The only exception is Mary, whom her creator grew fond of. All of these clones, however, do have lesser command phrases that "reset" their mind, should they grow rebellious.

Mindwarp has a character, a time-traveler named Toni, whose powers first trigger when trying on a dress, looking at herself in a changing room mirror. She travels back in time eight years for a little while, then returns to the present outside the store, and gets busted for shoplifting. Later at home, she tries the dress on again and goes back in time eight years to when she was five and her mother was still alive. After speaking together, the mom calls in five-year-old Toni and implants a hypnotic command to come back to this day when seeing 13-year-old Toni in that dress. Later, she uses her mugshot from her shoplifting arrest to escape a jam, and rearm in the mall.

X-Men:
Former villainess Emma Frost used her powers to shut down two armed guards' pain centers after a fight with Wolverine, which seems like a nice thing to do, but then she stuck something extra in:
Emma used this same trick in Avengers+X-Men #13 while on a personal mission with Black Widow, with a slight twist to it. Rather than a trigger phrase, she used her telepathy to implant a pervert (by the name of Frank) who was blackmailing her with a supposed sex tape with a trigger sight. Now, every time he sees a pair of bare breasts, he projectile vomits. Every time. Natasha finds it so amusing that she feigns having left something behind just to go back and flash the guy again.

In Sluggy Freelance, Oasis seems to be triggered by an image instead of a phrase. When she sees the HeretiCorp logo, she immediately goes into "Override B-1" and kills all HeretiCorp employees in the area. (One wonders why, after several years of this, the company hasn't just picked a different logo.)

In the YA novel The Adoration of Jenna Fox, Jenna was, after a nearly fatal car accident, placed into an artificial body with a reconstructed "brain" made of computer chips, which was programmed with a trigger phrase as a "suggestion" to use in case anything went wrong: "Go to your room, Jenna." If said, this phrase would cause Jenna to automatically walk to her room, whether she wanted to or not — though she learns to resist it eventually.

Lex Luthor seems to like these in Teen Titans: Together for Tomorrow. Similar to the source material, he installed one for Superboy: He's compelled to obey any command if the speaker calls him "My Diogenes".

The technique is demonstrated for Charles Bronson's KGB protagonist using the phrase "Cleopatra says there will be snow from the west." This is the scene being spoofed in the first The Naked Gun movie (where the beeping of a watch was the trigger) when Vincent Ludwig's secretary tries to shoot Pahpshmir with an empty gun.

Becomes very important late in the Honor Harrington series, though with Trigger conditions rather than phrases. The control affected by the nano-tech is so complete that it can convince the personal bodyguard of an Andermani Royal to kill the man he's guarding, to convince a Manticoran flag lieutenant to kill his flag officer, and convince a man to commit suicide by Mach 2 impact into a cliff-wall while in his air-car. Even worse, the victims are aware of what they're doing and unable to stop themselves from acting.

Ironically inverted in Gunsmith Cats. Mafia boss Goldy brainwashes her assassins into blind devotion with a designer drug named "Special K" that renders users highly susceptible to suggestion, so no phrase is needed. However, while she's working over heroine Rally Vincent, the latter manages an escape attempt while still under the drug's influence, during which she programs a trigger phrase into herself to counter Goldy's influence. The ironic part is that it's not a spoken phrase, but the distinctive sound of the trigger on her highly-customized personal pistol being pulled. How's that for a literal interpretation?

In a variant from Back at the Barnyard, Otis is accidentally hypnotized to try and kill the Farmer every time he hears a bell ring. (Some context: He's watching a boxing movie where the protagonist’s opponent is named "the Farmer", and the bell refers to the ring bell.) His friends break the trance by setting up a effigy of the Farmer, and he comes to when he destroys it.

In one episode of The New Adventures of Beans Baxter, Beans is given the task of babysitting a robot, which becomes an unstoppable killing machine when it hears its trigger phrase. The phrase was designed to be the least likely thing for a person to say ("M. I. N. D. Mood"), but Beans had a dental appointment earlier and his mouth was numbed-up. When his girlfriend asked him if he was in the mood to make out, his slurred answer just happened to match the robot's trigger phrase.

There is a universal trigger phrase for artificial intelligences in Freefall. Any orders prefaced by the words "direct order" must be obeyed by any artificial intelligences that hear it. They must also continue to obey the order until they are given a direct order to stop obeying the previous order. There are exceptions to the Direct Order system though: Florence can disobey direct orders given by someone without the authority to give them, and direct orders can also be ignored by A.I.s who are working to protect humanity, like Blunt believes he is.
Also, Bowman Wolves are designed with a few auditory and scent-based triggers which allow tinkering with their minds without requiring physical access to their brain. After one such trigger is abused on Florence, Dr Bowman uses another to adjust her security settings.
Florence had several extra phrases programmed in as debug features. The one we see onscreen is that if she's given a direct order to identify a banana, she'll claim it's "a small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden". She'll also do... something if ordered to identify a female aardvark, but all we know is that Henri Mer doesn't want to be in the same room if it happens.

Kamen Rider Drive eventually reveals that the Freeze Roidmude (posing as the Minister of Defense) implanted the higher-ups of the police department with a mental suggestion that used "Roidmude" as a trigger word; whenever they heard it, they would become skeptical and mistrusting, not taking the Roidmude threat seriously. Lt. Ohta was also subject to the brainwashing, but for some reason it caused him to constantly mispronounce the word as things like "Pork Roast" or "Hemmoroid" — one of the show's longest Running Gags, but also the reason he was able to remain competentnote He was part of the top cops, but got demoted to the "reject squad" precisely because he recognized the Roidmudes as a threat and wouldn't just drop it when ordered by his bosses. Rinna develops a cure which not only ends Ohta's Running Gag but allows the police to actually give Drive the support he's needed all along.

Scootertrix the Abridged has a downplayed example in The Bird, who reacts to "Hello" (or "Hey," or anything that could be interpreted as a greeting) by saying "Hello" herself, as an almost Pavlovian reflex. In episode 5, it gets lampshaded by Gilda: "Is that like, your trigger word?" And in later episodes, Twilight realizes that The Bird doesn't always respond to her own name, so she just says "Hello" when she needs The Bird's attention. It's revealed in Scootertrix the Abridged: The Movie that The Bird's a retired Wonderbolt, and "Hello" was her unit's call to attention.

In the 2004 film adaptation, the agents get personalized triggers: their names and old ranks, phrased in the form "Sergeant Shaw. Sergeant Raymond Shaw. Raymond Prentiss Shaw." And later...

Batman had another self-administered version in a JLA (1997) storyline. He was designing weapons to take out his own teammates if necessary. In order to keep the project hidden from Martian Manhunter's telepathy, he had the knowledge of his plans mentally "buried," and it could only be recalled when he heard a trigger phrase from his bat-computer. A different trigger phrase would "re-bury" the project in his subconscious if MM came within telepathy range of the Batcave.

Captain America: Civil War reveals that the Winter Soldier had a string of trigger words, used by HYDRA before missions as something of a reset code to see that he was still obedient to them and did not remember his previous identity. It's revealed that they still work perfectly, ensuring Zemo successfully reverts Bucky to an obedient fighting machine for a short time. For the curious, the words are "Longing, rusted, seventeen, daybreak, furnace, nine, benign, homecoming, one, freight car," in Russian and in that order. The Soldier replies "Ready to comply," also in Russian. At the end of the film, the Winter Soldier goes into hiding in Wakanda to be deprogrammed. (Sebastian Stan said that just about every time he's recognized people respond with the words, leading to him reminding who said it that he won't become the Winter Soldier)

Florence had several extra phrases programmed in as debug features. The one we see onscreen is that if she's given a direct order to identify a banana, she'll claim it's "a small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden". She'll also do... something if ordered to identify a female aardvark, but all we know is that Henri Mer doesn't want to be in the same room if it happens.

American Dad!: The trigger phrase that Stan Smith used to make his daughter into a Tyke-Bomb was specifically selected to be something that no-one would ever say accidentally: "I'm getting fed up with this orgasm!"
It backfires, though. Stan's boss reveals that every subject turned on his or her handler. And, if the phrase isn't uttered again within a week, they stay in that state, until they kill said handler.
This was actually a Call-Back to another episode, when Stan tried to use the word "rhubarb" to hypnotize Hayley, but to his confusion it didn't work. Steve, however, had suddenly turned into a zombie.

In Fallout 3, one quest features an escaped android who can be rebooted with a trigger phrase.
And then there's President Eden. Saying "Priority Override, Authorization code 420-03-20-9" will reset him to factory defaults (same happens if you trick him into realizing he's in a logical loop) and activates his self-destruct sequence.
Also, according to a computer log in Vault 92, the phrase "Sanity is not statistical" was used to pacify the people driven mad by the Vault's white noise experiments. The problems start when the "crazies" start resisting the command.

Similar to the above example, Fallout 4 shows that all of the Institute's androids, or synths, have a trigger phrase to reboot them. If the player gives Mama Murphy drugs, she tells them the code to deactivate a synth they have to kill as part of the main story. In addition, if the player sides with the Institute in the Battle of Bunker Hill, they are given the trigger phrases for a group of escaped synths in order to recapture them.

A variation appears in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean: DIO's diary describes a sequence of fourteen secret, nonsensical phrases *  Spiral staircase, rhinoceros beetle, ghost town, fig tart, rhinoceros beetle, Via Dolorosa, rhinoceros beetle, singularity point, Giotto, angels, hydrangea, rhinoceros beetle, singularity point, secret emperor that, according to the diary, are necessary to "achieve heaven". Indeed, Enrico Pucci utters this sequence of words to Green Baby, which then fuses with his Stand Whitesnake to form C-Moon.

A B-plot in Solo Command is the presence of several brainwashed assassins throughout the New Republic: each has their own trigger phrase, all somewhat bizarre. "Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg" means "Kill Wedge Antilles," for instance. "The Wookiees are dancing in the parlor" means "Kill everyone between you and Admiral Ackbar, then kill him." Apparently the triggers are different for everyone.

After you make it past his final defences he reveals that Fontaine has been controlling your actions all along. He demonstrates by controlling you like a dog, telling you to sit, stand, so on. Then, he hands you his golf club and commands you to kill him, wanting to 'choose' the terms of his own death rather than "obey" Fontaine. Also "Code Yellow", which is meant to stop your heart.

Batman:
Batman set up an alternate "emergency personality" for himself that was triggered by the phrase "Zur En Arrh." This is taken from a story in Batman #133 (1958) where Batman encounters his crimefighting counterpart from the planet Zur-En-Arrh. In the context of the story, it is revealed that the phrase is a bastardization of Thomas Wayne's last words, "Zorro in Arkham."
Batman had another self-administered version in a JLA (1997) storyline. He was designing weapons to take out his own teammates if necessary. In order to keep the project hidden from Martian Manhunter's telepathy, he had the knowledge of his plans mentally "buried," and it could only be recalled when he heard a trigger phrase from his bat-computer.

The Imperial Agent player character in Star Wars: The Old Republic is subjected to "Castellan restraints", a form of mind control that is applied well ahead of time, only kicking in when they hear a specific code word. Yours is "onomatophobia", since you asked. When the code is used, the subject is compelled to carry out any commands given to the best of their ability. You are eventually able to recover by subjecting yourself to the Castellan process again, only this time with a code word of your own choosing; you then order yourself to ignore the previous trigger.
In Knights Of The Eternal Throne, Vaylin has a Power Limiter that is activated by the key phrase: "Kneel Before the Dragon of Zakuul!". She eventually gets it removed, though it returns in the Final Boss Fight where you are able to use it against Valkorion due to the battle taking place in your mind. And yes, while every class has a conversation option to call Valkorion out on it when you first learn of this, the Agent makes it personal.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: In "Deep Dive", Janna gets called in to help Star with her interdimensional sleep-walking via hypnotherapy. When Marco expresses skepticism as to whether Janna knows anything about hypnosis, she has two words for him: "Chicken butt". This phrase immediately causes Marco to fall asleep, and Janna proceeds to troll Marco by using it repeatedly.

The streamers from Offline TV and Friends decided to treat the word "babushka" as this for a while in their Among Us games with Proximity Chat. It began when Valkyrae hadn't gotten to be the Impostor in a while, and a sympathetic Sykkuno revealed that he was an Impostor that round and offered to kill on her behalf whenever she liked, so the two decided to use "babushka" as the code word to order Sykkuno to kill on Rae's behalf. It really took off in popularity, however, after another round later that day when Valkyrae was explaining the arrangement the two of them had used while Sykkuno was away from his keyboard on a bathroom break. Sykkuno returned at the exact moment Rae used the word 'babushka' and, mistaking it for a legitimate use of the code word, immediately killed the nearest player, despite being surrounded by five different witnesses to the deed, unleashing a round of chaos and slaughter. (Dramatized slightly in the animated Babushka: the Movie, which you can see here.) For some time afterwards, "babushka" was treated as a trigger word between Impostors, or Impostors and crewmates cooperating with the Impostors, as a signal to kill, and it was sometimes treated as a trigger that couldn't be refused, and could force Impostors to kill even when it would be suicidal to do so.

In The Miserable Mill, Book 4 of A Series of Unfortunate Events, the word "Lucky" is used as a trigger to the point of parody, since the good guys catch onto it and both sides flip Klaus back and forth in obeying their commands. The word "Inordinate" deactivates the state.

A Mind Cleansed character in Dark Heresy has the innate weakness of a trigger phrase. Notably, this isn't just a phrase — there's too much risk of outside forces learning it and using it against the Inquisition. The phrase must be delivered either telepathically or at a specific frequency to activate the latent programming.

Dollhouse:
Activates: "There are three flowers in a vase. The third flower is green." Deactivates: "There are three flowers in a vase. The third flower is yellow."
Dollhouse has a few of these. Most used is simply "would you like to go for your treatment?" or "it's time for your treatment" which is said to an engaged Active by their handler. This immediately makes the Active stop what they are doing and go with their handler back to the Dollhouse to be mind-wiped. Played for Laughs in a Deleted Scene where Ballard tries using the phrase to stop November, who's been programmed as a tough Bounty Hunter.
Also often used are the trust passwords between handler and Active. "Do you trust me?" "With my life." "Everything's going to be alright." "Now that you're here."
This exchange could count, though it's initiated by the triggeree — used whenever an Active is reset to "tabula rasa":

Treadstone:
The nursery rhyme Are you sleeping? is used to activate the cicadas, and a photograph and/or address ringed by a red circle with three horizontal red lines below gives them their instructions. The cicadas' subconscious sees it as a problem to be solved, and the only way to do that is by completing the mission.
A CIA agent meets a former Treadstone doctor in a bar, and when they first sit down the doctor tells the bartender "Did I forget to tell you? It's my birthday" whereupon he gets a drink on the house. When the agent asks if that Trigger Phrase stuff actually works, the doctor again says "Did I forget to tell you? It's my birthday" and gets another free drink, the bartender unaware that he's already poured him one.

In Futurama episode War Is the H-Word, Bender is fitted with a bomb that will explode when he says the word "ass," which in a reversal from the norm is specifically selected as the word he says most often. At the end Dr. Farnsworth tries to defuse the bomb but can't and instead resets it so it will be detonated by the word Bender is least likely to say — which Bender immediately tries to guess.
It takes at least three tries.
The word is "antiquing".

Get Smart:
One episode where the agent is Max and the trigger is "Checkmate". Max is meant to challenge his target, The Chief, to a chess game and then shoot him when he loses (given that Max is too incompetent to win). Unfortunately Max dithers so much during the game, that when he finally does lose an exasperated KAOS Double Agent in the room shouts "Checkmate!" in delight, and gets shot instead.
The follow up joke in the epilogue is that even after Smart realizes this manipulation at the end of the story, The Chief finds out the hard way that Smart is still reflexively shooting at anyone saying "Checkmate", and Smart has to sheepishly explain that a bad habit is hard to break.
In another episode, Hymie is reprogramed to shoot Max when he asks for the check. But Max asks for it in Spanish, and when Hymie translates for the girl with them (saying "check" in English), he promptly shoots himself.

Telefon (1977):
KGB sleeper agents in the U.S. were brainwashed via drug-induced hypnosis to forget their true identities and live as Americans until they heard a line from Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", followed by their Russian names. When they heard it, they would destroy a pre-programmed target and then kill themselves. The Trigger Phrase was:
The technique is demonstrated for Charles Bronson's KGB protagonist using the phrase "Cleopatra says there will be snow from the west." This is the scene being spoofed in the first The Naked Gun movie (where the beeping of a watch was the trigger) when Vincent Ludwig's secretary tries to shoot Pahpshmir with an empty gun.

Young Justice (2010) has two trigger phrases.
First is "Red Sun", used by Lex Luthor as an immediate fail-safe to stop Superboy from acting belligerent during a shady dealing between the two. Should he choose to attack his manipulator... Luthor can leave him catatonic for hours on end. It's the result of mental brainwashing by CADMUS while being grown as a Living MacGuffin clone of Superman as insurance in case he suffered from insanity. However, it also raises suspicion he might be a Manchurian Agent. Eventually, this is proved wrong, and Miss Martian uses her own mental prowess to wipe out the subliminal trigger.
The second phrase is much more unexpected. Red Arrow discovers he isn't the actual protégé of Green Arrow, but a clone of Roy Harper, A.K.A. Speedy, with directives to infiltrate the Justice League without the actual knowledge he was doing so, cleverly disguised as valid human intentions not to be treated as a sidekick anymore. He also came pre-programmed with the phrase "Broken Arrow", used by Sportsmaster to make him a vegetable while he and his cohorts extract information from him, or if the villains simply want him out of their hair. It had actually been spoken once much earlier in the series; it seemed to be just a quip at the time.

Welcome to Night Vale does an exaggerated version. In Episode 61, a "vague yet menacing government agency" manipulates Cecil into saying "Briny Depths" over all possible radio frequencies. Doing so initiates a large commotion outside of the studio, and when Cecil returns from his usual weather report break, he learns that the phrase "Briny Depths" was a code word for the government's secret agents to enact their evil plans... or more specifically, for all of the agents to enact every evil plan they had ever learned. Said government agents include every citizen of Night Vale.

Blake's 7:

The titular secret agency in MIND MGMT uses these to reactivate "buried" agents. The most commonly seen one is the phrase "Mulligan Rock," which activates more than one agent over the course of the series. Sometimes, just saying the name "Mind Management" is enough to cause people to remember their former training.

In Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, the school has a hypnotist guidance counselor who cures people of whatever it is they've been sent to him for, but also implants an unrelated trigger phrase just For the Evulz. In the chapter "A Story with a Disappointing Ending," Paul gets sent to him for pulling Leslie's pigtails and is hypnotized into thinking they're deadly rattlesnakes... and also that when she says the word "pencil" her ears will turn into delicious candy which he must try to eat. He's snapped out of it and sent back to class, and the hypnotism successfully prevents him from pulling Leslie's pigtails. Then she breaks her pencil. She two classmates have a whole discussion about it without using the word "pencil," even though Paul interjects twice asking what they're talking about. Several chapters later, the class is dropping objects out the window to prove that everything falls at the same speed, including a pencil sharpener. Because everyone's been saying "pencil sharpener" throughout the chapter, you think nothing of it at the end when Leslie does...

Backward With Purpose: The Forget-For-Now potion works this way. Once the trigger phrase is uttered, all of the suppressed memories will return.
Merlin repeatedly contacts Luna, leaving her with just enough memories to pass on important messages without realizing it. She takes the potion willingly after each time, deciding that her phrase should be "I'm in love with a heliopath" so that she won't remember until they want her to.
After talking with Percy Weasley in the past, Al uses the potion on him, using the trigger phrase "I'm in Slytherin" specifically so that Percy's memories will return shortly after Al starts attending Hogwarts, securing him as a trustworthy ally.

In Tomb Raider: Underworld:
Natla can control the Thralls & the Doppelganger of Lara with the phrase "Okh Eshivar".
In the "Lara's Shadow" DLC when Natla orders the Doppelganger to kill itself after killing Lara, the Doppelganger is visibly displeased but has no choice but to obey. Fortunately, Lara learns the Okh Eshivar phrase in time to stop the Doppelganger just as its about to kill her.
Upon questioning it and realising that the Doppelganger would act just like her if it was free to do so, Lara orders it to ignore all commands from that moment on. Upon returning to and destroying the machine that was reviving Natla, the trapped Natla attempts to use the phrase to get the Doppelganger to save her but Lara's Order has made her immune. The Doppelganger just watches as the increasingly frantic and desperate Natla drowns in the leaking fluid from the machine.

Mickey Mouse Comic Universe: In one comic, the trigger word is "time". The villain (a psychologist, who sought revenge on Mickey for putting his son in jail) deliberately chose a fairly common word, so the trigger would go off often enough. It made Mickey instantly fall asleep and have nightmares, causing him to be unable to tell reality from dream and eroding his confidence.

The Authority: The military-industrial complex who built Seth, the hillbilly cyborg killing machine with over 1,000 super powers naturally set up a four-word kill-switch phrase. It's never actually used. Instead, the team's Reality Warper alters history so a less aggressive American administration came to power, and thus Seth was never created.

Star Wars Legends:
A B-plot in Solo Command is the presence of several brainwashed assassins throughout the New Republic: each has their own trigger phrase, all somewhat bizarre. "Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg" means "Kill Wedge Antilles," for instance. "The Wookiees are dancing in the parlor" means "Kill everyone between you and Admiral Ackbar, then kill him." Apparently the triggers are different for everyone.
Later in Solo Command, Kirney Slane uses a trigger phrase to load the backup memory of her astromech droid, Tonin, which she had wiped shortly before her infiltration. (The phrase is the full definition of Tonin's name.) This is part of an inverse Memory Gambit, and one that Slane hadn't really liked doing to Tonin; it's implied that Tonin doesn't mind too much (and may have consented to this treatment to begin with).
A later book has a man sent to deliver a message simply by his presence — he's been known to be in a secret prison for years — with a device implanted that floods him with poison, killing him instantly. The device is triggered when someone recognizes the man and says his name.
Jedi healing trances often come with a variation where a trigger phrase is used to bring the Jedi out of the trance after they had been under for a sufficient time. Luke and Mara would use “I love you� when one was waking the other.

Starslip: Seeing the artwork known as "Spine of the Cosmos" while being provided with its context will render almost any intelligent being a compliant zombie as they realize their utter insignificance in the face of the universe. (The Cirbozoids are immune due to their complete inability to understand art; also, sufficiently trained art critics like Vanderbeam can resist indirect exposure, as an image of the Spine is a different form of context.) It is ultimately neutralized when Vanderbeam makes Mr Jinx wear it as a hat, irrepairably altering its basic context.

Family Guy also has a trigger phrase that was selected because it's something nobody would ever say accidentally: "Gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet." It works on both Adam West and Meg, but whoever Meg calls to check in with just tells her to shut up. Another example is a complete accident, since it's a ring tone that overrides the trigger phrase being programmed, it being "EXTRA! EXTRA!", and having extremely disasterous results.
