Line 36:
* In the ''[[Better Off Ted]]'' episode "Father Can You Hair Me?", Ted tests an experimental hair tonic (packaged as an aerosol) on his arm, causing massive amounts of hair to grow not only on Ted's arm, but also on his desk.
* In (what turned out to be) the final episode of ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'' Bobby gets some mail-order hair tonic to sell, which turns Greg's hair orange. In the [http://jonrowe.blogspot.com/2004/11/my-sense-of-humor-my-best-friend-david.html memo] attributed to Robert Reed about how weak the show's internal logic had become, he complains about this in particular:
{{quote| Why any boy of Bobby’s age, or any age, would be investing in something as outmoded and unidentifiable as “hair tonic” remains to be explained. As any kid on the show could tell the writer, the old hair-tonic routine is right out of ''[[Our Gang]]''. Let’s face it, we’re long since past the “little dab’ll do ya” era.}}
* A ''[[Good Eats]]'' episode on celery has a sketch of a celery drink just made regrowing hair, then shows Alton paying the man whoes hair supposedly grew back in private.
* [[Seinfeld]]: George Costanza's Chinese baldness cure. Whether it actually works is moot, because it smells horrible and he never manages to keep it on his head long enough.
