Introduce a new person into the subjects life. Have the new person live and eat and interact with subject, and the subject's friends and family. Then all of the sudden the subject's love ones stage an intervention for the subject. They all say that they are worried for the subject's mental health and that the new person is not real. Then have them apology to the subject for playing along with his or hers delusions. Then have the new person leave and never come back.

Insert someone into someone’s life. Online date works. Then swap that person out routinely with a different paid actor that looks similar to them and acts similarly.
How quickly or slowly can you transform someone’s mental image of someone with gaslighting? How subtle do you really need to be?

Give someone employment. Their Job is to watch the baby shark video ten hours a day, five days a week, for 220k a year. They have one lunch break, three bathroom breaks, and are not allowed to have a cell phone or distractions. They get a comfy chair and full sized movie screen. They must get a good night sleep and remain attentive to the video the full ten hours or they don't get paid.

There was a made-for-TV movie called, IIRC, The Wave that we read as a play in ninth grade English class (I think - may be off by a year or two) that had a pretty disturbing experiment involving, essentially, creating a cult based around a symbol (the eponymous wave) rather than a religion.

And there's the classic Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" where aliens turn off all the power in a city block ... then restore it to ONE house and watch the shenanigans...

And the infamous real-world experiment where a group of college students were told to deliver electric shocks to other college students at a set interval. Don't recall the details but it was mentioned in the television series Irrational. The summary pages of the three seasons it ran for list a few, actually references a few famous experiments of this sort, like "The Trolley Problem"

Heh. That's like the old "The Worst Job in the World" video.
You see a guy sit down at a desk in a suit and tie, and answer his telephone. "Yes!" he says, happily, and hangs up. Another call, seconds later. "Yes!" hangs up...
It goes on for another two minutes, with the guy getting progressively less chipper each time, and the last time, he just answers, and says: "Yes, Yes, yes, dear God, yes!" and puts his head on the table, sobbing.
Then you see the guy on the other end takes a step, dials his cell phone and asks: "Can you hear me now?"
