Can the hypnotist make me do funny, weird, or bad things?
No. You are awake, relaxed, and in total control throughout the entire session. No hypnotist can ever make you do anything you don’t want to do. People do funny things for a stage hypnotist at a comedy club because they volunteer to go on stage; they expect the stage hypnotist to ask them to do funny things. If they really don’t want to listen to the hypnotist’s suggestions, they don’t. For example, if a hypnotist asked you to do something immoral or unethical (such as hit somebody or rob a bank) you would reject the suggestion. You have the same free will to reject “silly” suggestions at comedy shows.
