* There was an older man in a go club that [[HikaruNoGo Shindou Hikaru]] constantly taunted for a while. He once put an empty stone container onto the man's head to grind around, and got the hairpiece caught a bit. This caused it to slip off, and the man to dash out of the building with tear-jets flying, but also his mother to scold him. The man shows up on another night in a different-styled wig but is only shamed again by Hikaru. Funny sure, but the point was to further illustrate what a JerkAss the boy could be.

* On the DcComics front, In ''Film/{{Superman}}'', we see Lex Luthor's array of wigs before we see his face to give us a sense of his vanity and we never see him without one on.
