In this [[Personal Appearance Tropes|Personal Appearance Trope]]
"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..."
Line 7:
If the person has had a complete makeover to the point where they're not even the same gender ...well, then [[Something's Different About You Now]].

== [[Advertising]] ==
* Early ads for Viagra used this trope. It was left to the viewers to ask the obvious final guess, "Hey, Joe, got wood?"
Line 40:
* Brutally and seriously subverted in ''[[Norwegian Wood]]'' when Midori calls out Watanabe for being so lost in his thoughts and depressed that he does not notice her new haircut.
== [[Live
* Played with in an episode of ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]''. Jenny really ''does'' get a horrible (and dramatically shorter) new haircut:
{{quote|'''Harvey:''' You look different. Are those new earrings?
Line 51:
{{quote|'''Tony:''' ''(stares blankly)'' What's different about you?
'''Carmela:''' He has no eyebrows, Tony! }}
* A ''[[
* There's a somewhat different example in ''[[Are You Being Served?]]'', 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:
{{quote|'''Mr. Grainger:''' Your hair's looking nice today, Mrs. Slocombe. ''(after a few moments)'' Alright, ignore me, you bad tempered old cow. }}
* Happens on ''[[Pixelface]]'' when Kiki has illegally eaten one on the power-up fruits and turned into a giant. Rex sees her and comments that there is something different about her: her hair is glossier. A few seconds later, he realises that she is six times her normal size.
* In ''[[Scrubs]]'' Elliot's transformation actually includes a new haircut.
* On an episode of ''[[Hell's Kitchen]]'', 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.)▼
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* From ''[[Big Top]]'', the leader of the [[Circus of Fear|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."
* Double subverted in one ''[[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. [[Hypocritical Humor|That, and she trimmed her bangs.]]

* [http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/260 This] [[Looking for Group]] comic
* ''[[Skin Horse]]'' [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php a particularly egregious example], because Moustachio ''doesn't even have hair''.
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
'''Dmitri:''' She was fishing for a compliment on her ears, my friend.
'''Dustin:''' I ''knew'' it was something! }}
* ''[[Real Life Fiction]]'' has it in this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20150428011652/http://rlfcomic.com/?comic=20100328-jes-nes-cest-paw

Line 101 ⟶ 99:
** Also in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Homer is unsubtly replaced with McBaine, doing a bad impression of him. When Bart asks, he points out that he's wearing a new tie.
* In an episode of ''[[Rugrats]]'', the other babies guess what's different about Tommy for a while, including asking if he got a haircut (while he has virtually no hair), before they realize he's completely naked.
* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
