History WesternAnimation / PerfectHairForever

* ActionGirl: Brenda.

* AffectionateParody: You can tell the creators know their anime.

* BigBad: Coiffio.

* BreakingTheFourthWall

* {{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.

* FanDisservice: Young Man somehow making his face appear on a nude photo of Brenda, and speaking through it. It's not that she was drawn looking like that either -- she looks normal on the scroll before the camera zooms in. The effect is... [[UncannyValley mildly unsettling]], to say the least.

* {{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." His laughter was even included in the closed captioning.

* AbsenteeActor: aside form the intro, Gerald, Action Hotdog & Teryy/Twisty don't appear in episode 4 "Happy Suck Day", unlike the others The Inappropriate Comedy Tree doesn't nowhere in the episode.

* TheAlcoholic: Gerald's mom, though we [[InformedAbility don't really see it]]. Apparently, she woke up drunk.

* {{Fanservice}}: Brenda is the anthropomorphic personification of typical anime fanservice directed at young men, which is fitting considering the show's status as an AffectionateParody.

* PantyShot: Brenda is this trope given flesh. I mean, ''look at it''. Actually, it's pretty impossible to not notice it.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As an anime parody (and especially one that's... [[MindScrew supposedly]] about hair), this is a given.
** Brenda's pale pink hair.
** Coiffio is more noticable, with his spectrum-covering, [[KaleidoscopeHair color-shifting]] Super Saiyan-esque look.

* {{Animesque}}: Obviously.

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

*** A Elephant & Deer appear in the Young Man's group, later on, the Elephant disappears without a twice starting with episode 3, the deer still appears in episode 3 but disappears in the fourth episode.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first couple of episodes feel like a basic anime parody & focused on Gerald on his journey to Tuna Mountain & he starts to encounter his helpers Action Hotdog, Inappropriate Comedy Tree & Terry/Twisty, others characters like Uncle Grandfather, Rod, Coiffio & Cat Man was only being introduced for the first time & the Cat-Bun Wars didn't start yet until the ending of the third episode to the fourth episode.

** The Young Man's Animals started out differently as all the animals don't make a sound & all looked different, MF Doom didn't voice him at the time, until a little bit of the third episode.

''Perfect Hair Forever'' (2004, 2007, 2014) 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 ''WesternAnimation/{{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.

* EvilTwin - Give Uncle Grandfather hair and a smaller beard and you have Coiffio.
* FairyCompanion - Gerald's eclectic acquaintance, Action Hot Dog.

* {{Fanservice}} - Brenda is the anthropomorphic personification of typical anime fanservice directed at young men, which is fitting considering the show's status as an AffectionateParody.

* SomethingElseAlsoRises - Subtle, but Uncle Grandfather just so happens to be holding certain objects between his legs while [[MaleGaze his gaze]] is directed at Brenda, such as a liquor bottle or a banana.
* SoundEffectBleep - Every use of "fuck" is censored with the sound of Coiffio yelling "EFF!"

* SurroundedByIdiots - Inverted. All of Coiffio's minions are far more intelligent than him (which still isn't saying much), especially Catman, who is the OnlySaneMan.

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

* VerbalTic - Action Hotdog's "Do the la la la la la...."

* 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. What Brenda herself is supposed to be doing in the first place is never made clear, she spends most of her time following Uncle Grandfather's commands, many of which are just excuses for him to peep at her. 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.

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

** Even in the seventh (and originally 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.

** The second episode has Gerald saying "...my physical appearance will one day resemble that of the other handsome students." The sixth episode reveals that the other students are all palette swaps of him, with better hair.
