4	->''"You look different. Did you do something with your hair?"''
5	-->-- '''[[RunningGag Various characters]]''' to the Boss, ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''
6
7	In this personal appearance trope, a character undergoes some monstrous or at least dramatic transformation. When approached afterward by one of their friends or acquaintances, (usually the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} or otherwise not the quickest of the bunch) they can't help but notice that something's different about them, but completely miss what the actual difference is.
8
9	"I got it! You got a new haircut, right?" Sometimes the person will continue guessing: "You lost weight? You got new glasses? New cologne? Don't tell me..."
10
11	Eventually the person undergoing the change tells, or some bystander who can't stand the ridiculous guesses does.
12
13	There is a variation in which the person asking does in fact notice the obvious difference but will [[DeadpanSnarker snarkily]] pretend not to.
14
15	A SubTrope of ComicallyMissingThePoint. If the person has had a complete makeover to the point where they're not even the same gender, it's OldFriendNewGender.

23	* Early ads for Viagra used this trope. It was left to the viewers to ask the obvious final guess, "Hey, Joe, got wood?"

26	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
27	* Inverted in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''. During the second episode of Season 3, when Sho/Syrus asks Kenzan/Hassleberry if he notices anything different, the latter notes how Sho/Syrus was promoted to an Obelisk Blue based off his jacket, and congratulates him.

32	* In the ''ComicBook/MortAndPhil'' comic "El antídoto" El Súper's head is transformed into one of a pig. Mort & Phil ask him if he had shaved his moustache or changing his tie and even after being told of the fact, they still think he looks the same as always.

35	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
36	* From ''Comicstrip/BigTop'', the leader of the [[CircusOfFear Dark Tent Circus]] kidnaps Dusty and replaces him with a robotic clone. Upon seeing the bot, Wink asks, "Did you get a haircut or something?" Dusty-bot replies, "Tinted corrective lenses. For my corneas."
37	* When Calvin from ''Comicstrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' transmogrifies himself into a tiger, he asks his dad if he notices anything different. His dad asks if it's a new haircut. Of course, Calvin's transmogrification is only in Calvin's mind, therefore his father couldn't see it even if he wanted to.
38	-->'''Calvin:''' Geez, did you go blind?! I'm a tiger!\
39	'''Calvin's Dad:''' Oh, I thought you meant '''besides''' that.
40	* Double subverted in one ''Comicstrip/FoxTrot'' strip. Paige asks her mother if she notices anything different, and when Andy says no, Paige goes on a mini-rant about how she's resolving to be a person of depth and substance. [[HypocriticalHumor That, and she trimmed her bangs.]]
41	* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'': Happens when Jeremy loses his retainer and becomes comically bucktoothed. Pierce was going to guess he had a new haircut.

Elsa (who is now [[spoiler:wearing an elaborate white dress, has untied her hair, and looks happier than we have ever seen her]]) answers "or something".
50	* ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' has a scene where the heroine shows off her collar to Jock, who goes through a few such things before noticing it. In this case it's somewhat justified, as Jock is just rattling off the first couple of things he can think of off the top of his head given he's subtly trying to hide his collection of bones from Lady. Once he properly start paying attention, he notices the collar right away.
51	-->'''Lady''': Notice anything different?\
52	'''Jock'''...You've had a bath?\
53	'''Lady''': No, not that.\

58	''[Ariel shakes her head]''\
59	'''Scuttle''': No? Well, uh, let me see... New seashells? No new seashells... I gotta admit, I can't [[VisualPun put my foot on it]] right now, but if I just stand here long enough...\
60	'''Sebastian:''' SHE'S GOT ''LEGS'', YOU IDIOT! She traded her voice to the sea witch and got legs. JEEZ, mon!\
61	'''Scuttle:''' I knew that.
62	* Invoked by Mike in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' when he tries (in vain) to butter up Roz for a favor.
63	-->'''Mike:''' Roz, my tender, oozing blossom, you're looking fabulous today. Is that a new haircut? Come on, tell me it's a new haircut, isn't it? It's got to be a new haircut - new makeup? You had a lift? You had a tuck? You had something? Something has been inserted in your skin that makes you look... Listen, I need a favor.
64	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'': When Steven brings [[spoiler:Spinel]] to his house after [[spoiler:she gets her memories back]], Pearl and Amethyst understandably go on the defensive, but [[spoiler:the still-amnesiac Garnet]] cheerfully welcomes her back and asks if she changed her hair. (She ''has'' changed her hair, but only [[spoiler:as part of resuming her MadnessMakeover "evil" outfit]].)
65	[[/folder]]

71	-->'''Seymour:''' Hi, Audrey. You look radiant today. Is that new eye make-up?
72	* Done hilariously in the 1998 version of ''Film/MyFavoriteMartian'', after Lizzie [[OneWingedAngel transforms into a giant Venox XII alien]] and disposes of two {{Mooks}}. She also '''[[EatenAlive ATE]]''' one of the bad guys who were beating up Tim.
73	-->'''Tim:''' ''[nervously]'' Did you do something with your hair?\
74	'''Lizzie:''' ''[still in alien form]'' Glad you noticed.
75	* ''Film/{{Percy Jackson\|and the Olympians}}'': When Percy meets up with Grover once more after Hades and Olympus, Grover asks if Percy notices anything different. Percy asks if Grover's been working out; Grover points out that he finally has his satyr horns as a full protector.

79	!!!'''By Author:'''
80	* Creator/DaveBarry mentioned a friend of his who was nearly ExiledToTheCouch when he failed to notice his wife had gone to the hairstylist.

81	!!!'''By Work:'''
82	* Inverted in one ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'' story where Marco gets a new haircut. Rachel wonders if it was chewed off by a wolverine, while Ax ''does'' notice the change but asks Marco if it's an Earth disease.

84	* ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'': In ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresAllConsumingFire All-Consuming Fire]]'', the Doctor leaves [[GenderBlenderName Benny Summerfield]] in India, and picks her up again two months later:
85	-->"There's something different about you." He frowned, and looked me over again. "Don't tell me. Let me guess."\
86	"Doctor, I..."\
87	"It's the hair, isn't it? You've had your hair done."\
88	"No, I..."\
89	"I know! You've lost weight."\
90	I sighed.\
91	"No, Doctor, I'm [[SweetPollyOliver disguised as a man]]."\
92	He checked again.\
93	"Are you? How very [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespearean]]. Well, I'm sure you've got a good reason."

95	* In a book on arts and crafts featuring characters of ''Series/SesameStreet'' (in the 70's), the adults show the kids how to make masks out of paper grocery bags.

96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
99	* There's a somewhat different example in ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'', in the episode "It Pays To Advertise", when Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries have mannequins made of themselves, and Mr. Grainger mistakes the mannequin of Mrs. Slocombe for the real thing:
100	-->'''Mr. Grainger:''' Your hair's looking nice today, Mrs. Slocombe. ''(after a few moments)'' Alright, ignore me, you bad tempered old cow.
101	* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': Done deliberately in a cold open where Boyle grew a goatee. Initially, nobody at the department wants to acknowledge it in an attempt to dissuade Boyle from keeping it. When that doesn't work, they simply shave it off by force.
102	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia Utopia]]", the Doctor is reunited with Captain Jack Harkness. The Doctor asks Jack if he's had some "work" (i.e. minor cosmetic surgery) done. Jack retorts that the Doctor can talk since he ''[[TheNthDoctor regenerated]]'' in the meantime.
103	* On ''Series/EliStone'', Eli kept insisting that Maggie had a new haircut, rather than a shiny new ring.
104	* On ''Series/{{Friends}}'', when Chandler starts wearing glasses, he attempts to invoke this, but nobody seems to think that he ever DIDN'T wear glasses. Not his best friend of ten years, not his roommate of over five, not the woman he's in love with!
105	* Subverted on ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' when Jess asks Rory if she changed her hair. (She didn't, it was an excuse for him to talk about something else.)
106	* On an episode of ''Series/HellsKitchen'', Chef Ramsay asked the three remaining contestants if they noticed anything different about him. New hair or a new jacket were guessed wrongly. (He was smiling for a change.)

109	* Played with in an episode of ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''. Jenny really ''does'' get a horrible (and dramatically shorter) new haircut:
110	-->'''Harvey:''' You look different. Are those new earrings?\
111	'''Jenny:''' Actually they are.\
112	'''Harvey:''' People tell me I'm not perceptive.
113	* In ''Series/TheSopranos'' episode "[[Recap/TheSopranosS5E4AllHappyFamilies All Happy Families...]]", AJ's friends shave his eyebrows off while stoned. It takes Tony a minute to catch on the first time he sees him.
114	-->'''Tony:''' ''(stares blankly)'' What's different about you?\
115	'''Carmela:''' He has no eyebrows, Tony!
116	[[/folder]]

118	[[folder:Radio]]
119	* ''Radio/BleakExpectations'': When rescued by the Reverend Godly Fecund from a mob of Frenchmen, the Reverend sees nothing different about Harry Biscuit, who is at that point a ''dinosaur'' ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]). The rev just says he thought Harry was wearing a different jacket.

122	[[folder:Video Games]]
123	* At the end of ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1'', your character is immolated in a massive explosion to set up the character customization in [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 the sequel]] -- reconstructive surgery in a burn ward is, after all, the perfect time to change one's gender and/or race. Nobody has much trouble identifying you when the plot calls for it, as well. Yet no matter what design choices you make, the only remark about the change anyone seems to have is to ask if the character has "done something with [his/her] hair." Lampshaded twice overall - once when Aisha asks the question, wherein your character notes that they've "[[PhraseCatcher been getting that a lot]]", and once when [[spoiler:Julius]] starts on it, only for your character to pull out their gun and interject with "I didn't do ''shit'' with my hair!"
124	* ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' has the following if [[CuteWitch Yoriko]] fights [[{{Samurai}} Kamui]] in her Story Mode. Note that Michelangelo is a [[EvilWeapon Demon King that had just been sealed as Yoriko's staff]] and that Kamui had a hand in that sealing.
125	--> '''Kamui:''' It's been a while, Michelangelo. You look a little...different than I remember. Did you lose weight?
126	* In ''VideoGame/RetroGameChallenge'', the popular game character Haggleman is redesigned from a cute mascot type to a serious, DarkerAndEdgier hero. When seeing the cartridge art, Arino suggests the difference might be that Haggleman started seeing a dermatologist.
127	* After an undisclosed amount of time in the backstory to ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'', Nefarious reveals his new robotic body to Captain Qwark. True to form, Qwark guesses that he changed his hair, after some difficulty.
128	* ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space]]'': In "Chariots of the Dogs", Sam and Max run into Bosco after time-travel shenanigans have resulted in him turning into a half-man half-cow monstrosity, and ask if he's done something with his hair (even though Bosco is bald).
129	* In ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', if Cream is rescued by Classic Sonic, who is notably shorter and stockier than his modern counterpart, she merely asks if he got a haircut. Blaze comments that he looks less... spiky. In both instances, Sonic will brush over his head-quills with his hand.
130	* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', the Courier asks this from Jane, Mr. House's female Securitron, after upgrading her to the Mark II software.
131	--> '''Courier:''' You look different somehow. Did you cut your hair?
132	* In a minor subevent in ''VideoGame/FairyFencerF'' called "...Notice Me", [[spoiler:Ethel]] asks Fang if he notices anything different about her. Fang says she cut her bangs, but she replies that her skin is silky smooth now because Tiara taught her how to take care of it and comments that Fang is "bad at noticing changes."
133	* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'', the protagonist is a VirtualPaperDoll whose appearance, clothes, and gender can be changed at the drop of a hat. Yet no matter how ridiculous of an outfit they put on, their friends will always recognize them instantly.
134	* In ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'', the cast is able to instantly recognize the player no matter what Warframe they're using, even though they look radically different and can have entirely different powers and genders. This is on top of the fact that there are hundreds or thousands of these Tenno running through the system at any given time.

137	[[folder:Web Animation]]
138	* In the ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'' short "Browser Fail" where [[ButtMonkey Danny]] gets his [[BigOlEyebrows eyebrows]] shaved off, his friends notice but [[ObfuscatingStupidity play dumb]] for laughs.
139	-->'''Danny:''' Who Did It?!\
140	''[[[TheLeader Chris]] and [[BigGuy Wallow]] try not to laugh]''\
141	'''Wallow:''' Did what?\
142	'''Chris:''' You look different. New shirt?
143	* In ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', when Strong Sad house-sits for Marzipan, [[TheDitz Homestar]] confuses Strong Sad ''for'' Marzipan and asks "is that a new... skin you're wearing?"

152	** In [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3478 this]] strip, Marten genuinely fails to notice that a seven foot battle robot who usually wears armour is now wearing a bright yellow sweater, and wonders if she's parting her hair the other way.

154	%%* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php a particularly egregious example]], because Moustachio ''doesn't even have hair''.
155	* In ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'', Yuri gets both her arms and legs replaced with ArtificialLimbs, as well as cat ears surgically attached to her head. Dustin is slow to pick up on this.
156	-->''[Yuri blasts off on her rocket feet]''\
157	'''Dustin:''' Something's different about her, isn't there?\
158	'''Dmitri:''' She was fishing for a compliment on her ears, my friend.\
159	'''Dustin:''' I ''knew'' it was something!

173	** Homer misses Bart's change in mood.
174	--->'''Marge:''' There's something different about Bart...\
175	'''Homer:''' New glasses?\
176	'''Marge:''' No, he seems depressed about something...\
177	'''Homer:''' Probably misses his old glasses.
178	** From an ImagineSpot of what would happen if Homer won the lottery:
179	--->'''Lenny:''' Hey Homer, what did you do, get a haircut or something?\
180	'''Homer:''' Look closer, Lenny.\
181	'''Lenny:''' Oh, I know what it is... you're the biggest man in the world now and you're covered in gold!

186	'''Patrick:''' Uh, new glasses?\
