One episode of Tales From the Crypt.
Now, I was fairly desensitized to violence, gore, etc. at a fairly young age, and I watched this show passionately when I was younger. But there was a scene from one episode, about a man who kept hearing voices that he couldn’t get rid of. I forget many other details, but at one point the man shoved pencils in his ears in an attempt to stop the voices. Still squicks me out to this day whenever I think about it.
Edit: ah, a case of misremembering (I hate when people insist they remember everything correctly). Apparently he didn’t actually use a pencil:

Bro, thought I was the only one traumatized by Tales From the Crypt. For me, it was the "Television Terror" episode with Morton Downey Jr.. Seriously, that messed me up for a years. I think it's why I find "found footage" horror films to be both terrifying and enticing.
In my mind, it still plays out with pencils though.
And neat…Katey Sagal was in this episode. I love her.
