Perfect Hair Forever #7: “Return to Balding Victory” | April 1, 2007 - 12:00AM | S02E01

Hey! Look! It’s a new episode of Perfect Hair Forever for me to watch! What? I am half-remembering this, and using wikipeida to fill in my blanks: I think they announced season 2 as a web-exclusive show back when they were trying to make web-exclusive seasons of The Brak Show, 12 Oz. Mouse, and this. It was announced to debut in May of 2007 online, and that it would have 16 episodes. It did not have 16 episodes. It had one episode. And, it actually aired first on Adult Swim on the evening of March 31st. It aired at midnight, technically April 1st. We in the states call that “The April Fool’s Big Day”, and it’s a day when various television networks must appease the April Fool’s regard for mischief by playing weird stuff instead of normal stuff on their channels.

This is a for-real continuation of the series, and in fact it incorporates many elements of “Woke Up Drunk”, the “variety show” episode that seemed very skippable until this moment. It starts off with the three burly guard guys in bed together. In “Woke Up Drunk” we saw them, fully clothed, all saying things out loud like “we are having hardcore penetrative gay sexual right now” while also pointing out that they can’t actually show it on television, so they just have to say it’s happening. They call this bit back, but this time they mention that it’s the internet and not TV.

Then there’s an opening sequence! Which… that’s one of the songs that’s already been featured on the show, right? I found a wiki that used weird wording that made me think it was technically a different song. Oh well. It uses weird clips of things, including Vince Collin’s great animated work 200. I love that guy’s stuff. I highly recommend you check out his seminal short Malice in Wonderland. Talk about ADULT ANIMATION, baby (there are vaginas in it)!

Okay: so the plot is meandering and unwieldy like it always is on highly-serialized Williams Street shows. Inappropriate Comedy Tree is trying to convince Gerald that he lost his memory in the crash (he didn’t). Tornado and he fight. Then a tidal wave shows up, flooding, more-or-less, every location in the show. He has a face not unlike the Tornado, and calls himself “Wetsy”, and we see Space Ghost running in the background to avoid getting wet. Gerald wonders out loud “I wonder what will happen next… on the internet.”

Uncle Grandfather sexually harasses Brenda by getting into a huge body-sized condom and insists that they have sex. She ignores him. He says something like “god told me to blow everything up”. An explosion is heard. 

Next there’s a very long establishing shot of the house that Coifio was trying to sell. He sells it to Rod, the Anime God. Wetsy floods it, and that’s just too bad for Rod. Rod then declares that he has to move into a different house; the house featured in “Woke Up Drunk” with the blonde housewife. There’s a nightmarish, reality-bending flourish. Perhaps something is amiss. 

Back at Uncle Grandfather’s house, Brenda is jacking up the house to get it mostly out of the water. Coifio is seen in a row boat. He gathers Cat Man, who is shooting Wetsy with a gun (he also manages to put one in Coifio (who takes it all in stride, luckily). Coifio wants Cat Man to help him get to Gerald.

We cut to a “commercial”, but it’s shown on a TV screen with Gerald advertising, basically, his quest, and inviting people to also partake in said quest. This has a really funny moment where Kim Manning gives a too-spirited delivery of the final line of the ad and chuckles “that doesn’t sound like Gerald at all”. This is being viewed by Rod, the Anime God, I think (I forget and forgot to write it down). When we cut back to Gerald, he has great, ever-changing hair, and is being followed by a school of tuna (the flood means Gerald is mostly submerged in water). He cheerfully announces “So glad we finally reached Tuna Mountain. And did all that stuff.” and then mentions that they are going to either Pancake or Hamburger Mountain now. They pass by the severed hand of the Anime hero guy clutching the Hamburger medallion from episodes past. The medallion is wrapped up in some tree branches and the hand is just hanging off of it.

Catching up with that guy (his name is Young Man, I just learned) and his animal friends: They are floating by on the top of their car, I think? They see a cat and a hot dog bun fighting on the back of an alligator. It appears the war between them is not actually over. “I wish this wasn’t symbolic of anything, and that this whole thing were just an anime mindfuck” Young Man says. He arrives at Uncle Grandfathers house. 

The last bit is a bit of weird channel surfing, where we see the Special Presentation/Anime Talk Show/Adult Swim Brain Trust set. Rod the Anime God is with his new family, featuring the blonde housewife and what appears to be an alternate version of Gerald. The living room resembles the Brak Show set, though it’s not as perfect of a match as I thought when I looked it up and I’m not sure it’s even an intentional reference. And that, folks, is the end of the series. For a little while, at least.

I’m fond of this show. It’s mostly meaningless nonsense, but it’s pleasing to watch. I wish there actually was a second season. But I like that they randomly revive it when we’re all least expecting it (to be fair, April Fool’s Day falling on Adult Swim’s anime night is a reasonable night to expect it, when you think about it). I don’t think I ever did watch the other episode of this that came out a few years later. Was it good? Did it end the series? Am I nice?

EPHEMERA CORNER:

Perfect Hair Forever Fansub April Fools stunt (April 1, 2007)

After the surprise episode 7, we were treated to more April Fools fun: A marathon of Perfect Hair Forever but in reverse episode order. The episodes were run through multiple generations of VHS dubbing and given amateurish-looking subtitles to simulate the tape-traded fan-subbed animes of yore, when hobbyists would localize anime that hadn’t found official release in North America yet. There were, in fact, turf wars over this sort of thing. The stunt involved poorly-translated subtitles that, in fact, at one point just start being subtitles for an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode instead. Hilarious. You can find some of the fan-sub versions of the episodes online. It’s worth a look!

MAIL BAG

ill always love the cinco credit union sketch because the idea of a bank sending you a porno in the mail is too delightful for words!

I think I failed to highlight this part; there is indeed a callback to the Pizza Boy sketch in the Cinco Credit Union sketch where the kiosk announces to Eric that a copy of the film is being mailed to his home, where his wife will probably receive it and get pissed off. Season one in particular tried to be thematic and have sketches refer to each other. I feel like this element of the show was sorta faded out as the series went on.

I love the first part of the Lazy Horse mattress sketch and I think its a classic, but I agree that the follow up just veers into some Jhonen Vasquez territory.

That’s a good way of putting it. That guy... whew! I NEVER liked him. Actually, that’s not true. The first time somebody gave me one of his comics I read it and liked it. Truth be told, I decided not to like him after all my mean internet friends said it sucked. Is it good (his body of work I mean)

"wahh I don't like when david cross says ho-ho" Shut Up You Fucking Baby!

That’s not how I said it! I said it like a cool guy!

I love that Richard Dunn was already legendary by episode 7, enough that we all knew his name and were concerned that he actually died. RIP to a king

Nothing but respect for my president

I want to punch will forte in the face in front of his family for using digital animation. Fucking idiot.

Noooo! I heard he’s nice!
