History WesternAnimation / PerfectHairForever

* {{Corpsing}}: It was pretty obvious that the singer couldn't help but chuckle at one point during the main theme, particularly after he says "old Chinese joke."

* TheQuietOne: Brenda almost never talks. She does once -- in Japanese, when [[spoiler:initiating the Cat-Bun Wars]].

* CatchPhrase - Young Man: "You don't understand!"

* {{Corpsing}}: It was pretty obvious that Eddie Horst couldn't help but chuckle at one point during the main theme, particularly after he says "old Chinese joke."

** The fifth episode is a motorcycle race. It's handwaved with "You're going to Tuna Mountain? Gonna need motorcycles. Motorcycles. Tuna Mountain."
** The sixth episode is a parody of sketch/variety shows, and network tv as a whole.

->''"In life there are sometime consequences to the actions a hero must face, to the end of the universe..."''

** The sixth episode is a motorcycle race. It's handwaved with "You're going to Tuna Mountain? Gonna need motorcycles. Motorcycles. Tuna Mountain."
** The fifth episode is a parody of sketch/variety shows, and network tv as a whole.

* BilingualBonus - "Uncle Grandfather" is a pun. In Japanese, that'd be ''Ojiisan Ojisan''.

* DerangedAnimation - Especially during the last episode.

* HairDecorations - Brenda has got some nice ones... hair decs, I mean.

** The ending song for the first episode contains the line "Do that thing to that guy. Play that trick on him." The last episode ends with Gerald mentioning how they played that trick on that guy.

* KilledOffForReal - [[spoiler: Model Robot]]. Considering the wacky and loose nature of the show, however, it is entirely possible that he could have been brought back in later episodes had it not been canceled.

* MindScrew: As a parody. The last line of the series is Young Man saying "You don't understand. It's a mind*EFF*."

* OnceAnEpisode - [[SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Space Ghost]] appears in every episode.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything - Nearly everyone in the show. Coiffio wants to stop Gerald from getting to Tuna Mountian for unknown reasons, but all he really does is stand around on his ship waiting for someone to buy his old house. Uncle Grandfather at first seems to be TheObiWan, but just sits around getting Brenda to bend over or making vacuum cleaners to [[SoundEffectBleep EFF]] cakes. Young Man... well, we're not sure what he's supposed to be doing, but he mostly just hangs around with a bunch of argumentative animals while telling then that they don't understand. The only person who's actually doing anything is Gerald, who is trying to get to Tuna Mountain.

* TheQuietOne: Brenda almost never talks. When she does, it's in another language.

** Even in the final episode, the resolution isn't shown, Gerald just walks toward Tuna Mountain, then it cuts to some other scenes, then Gerald is coming back from Tuna Mountain, with perfect hair. He even mentions a bunch of cool adventures they went on that the audience doesn't get to see.

* TitleDrop - The first line of the series. "Uncle Grandfather, I want perfect hair forever."

* UnexpectedGenreChange - The fifth episode is a motorcycle race. It's handwaved with "You're going to Tuna Mountain? Gonna need motorcycles. Motorcycles. Tuna Mountain."
** And then the sixth episode is a parody of sketch/variety shows, and network tv as a whole.

** Coiffio, meanwhile, is fairly neutral towards Model Robot in the first episode, whereas afterwards he suddenly gets a lot more hostile, calling him "Model Asshole" and eventually ordering him to self-destruct.

''Perfect Hair Forever'' (2004, 2007) was a short-lived Creator/AdultSwim series that showcased {{Japanese Media Tropes}} the way a peacock displays his feathers. Lasting a mere six episodes and from the makers of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' and ''{{Squidbillies}}'', the show was an AffectionateParody of anime, with an AprilFoolsDay marathon even being made to look like a fake Chinese bootleg. An additional seventh episode was aired in 2007 and for AprilFoolsDay 2014, an eighth and final episode was aired.

* ButtMonkey - Model Robot.
** Also, [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Space Ghost]]. His two appearances have him getting eaten by a bear and then stumbling drunkenly into a network executive meeting looking for work.

* DodgyToupee: Turns out Coiffio's impressive KaleidoscopeHair is just a wig.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ending song for the first episode contains the line "Do that thing to that guy. Play that trick on him." The last episode ends with Gerald mentioning how they played that trick on that guy.

* HeyItsThatVoice - {{MF Doom}} voices Young Man's giraffe friend. There's also a song on his Dangerdoom album named for and about the show.

* KaleidoscopeHair: Parodied with Coiffio, who has a [[Manga/DragonBall Super Saiyan-esque]] hairdo that continuously changes colors.
* KilledOffForReal - [[spoiler: Model Robot]]. Considering the wacky and loose nature of the show, however, it is entirely possible that [[spoiler: --he--]] could have been brought back in later episodes had it not been canceled.

* MindScrew - As a parody.
** The last line of the series is Young Man saying "You don't understand. It's a mind*EFF*."

* OnlySaneMan - Young Man comes closest to being this when he's not providing needless exposition.

* PerverseSexualLust - Uncle Grandfather.
** [[CargoShip "Can you get this vacuum cleaner to]] [[SoundEffectBleep EFF]] [[CargoShip this cake?"]]

* TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised - The last few episodes were released on the Internet.

* {{Stripperiffic}} / MsFanservice - Just ''look'' at Brenda. The skirt part of her sailor fuku ends ''above her waist'', leaving her gorgeous ass clad only in a thong for the entire world to see.
* SurroundedByIdiots - Inverted. All of Coiffio's minions are far more intelligent than him (which still isn't saying much), except for Catman, who is the OnlySaneMan.
* TrendAesop - "Everyone calls me "Retarded Hair Guy"."

* ShoutOut - Woo, where do we start? In the first three episodes or so we get rapid-fire parodies of ''DragonBall'' and ''DragonBallZ'', ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', ''SailorMoon''... and ''SpaceGhostCoastToCoast''.

* CrossdressingVoices: Gerald is obviously voiced by a woman, and a rather sexy sounding one at that.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic - Parodied. Gerald is walking through a forest and comes across a group of crucified clowns.
** Lampshaded in the final episode.
*** "I wish these cats and hot dog buns were not symbolic of ANYTHING, and this all just a big, anime mind*EFF*."

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy - Subverted. Gerald has gray hair and desperately ''wants'' to be pretty.
