I know that this is partially a joke, but I was trying to figure out what kind of lab would be done to produce chloroform that would be appropriate for students (recent OSHA crackdown on chloromethanes notwithstanding)… haloform reaction I suppose? Is that a common teaching lab experiment?

It’s easy to knock someone out with chloroform, and many many other chemicals.
The hard part is getting them to wake up later

As far as I know it’s not that easy. The…test person has to take quite some breaths of it until it shows some effect

Exactly, the movie trope is very wrong in the mechanism of action. This is no schience meme

Indeed.
Yeah people don’t just go limp, there is enough time to slip away. And you wake up pretty quick if you don’t keep breathing it in. Back when they actually used ether and chloroform as anesthesia, they had this little metal cage they’d put over the patient mouth to extend it away from the mouth, which would be wrapped in gauze and then have ether or chloroform constantly dripped on top.
And if you try to speed it up by using more, you’re more likely to kill the patient than knock them out or numb them. Since it depresses the central nervous system.

Pretty much any of the halogens will do this
