Wacky, Wild TV Ads

Algarra - Yogurle - Boy to Lion-ish TF

In this ad for Madagascar-tie-in Yogurt, this boy has a brief flash where there’s a hint of a ‘lion’ flash, and right after, he has long hair, some lines on his face, and he waves his hair around like he was wild or dancing. Eh. YMMV.

Mentolatum LipCare - Seo Woo grows accessories & changes styles

I like this ad. It’s still more morphing and transitions, but it’s not just that. She grows fruit on her head in one scene, jewelery, a cup and saucer… Pretty cool.  I want other copies. You find any?

Kinda a fave, but just barely didn’t make it due to the lack of quality not making this really amazing…

Another one of DMZ13jp’s favorites.

Braun - THe Free Spirit (Hair & Person Change)

Another one of DMZ13jp’s favorites.

In this ad, more people morph from one to another due to the use of the hair styling/curling product.  Why it’s noteworthy: the girl who is bald, then grows some weird hair on her head. Yay :> <3

THough, yeah. otherwise, YMMV.  Should be a few alts on Youtube. (Pass them onto me if you want.)

Style Aromatherapy Shampoo - Fashion through Time

Another one of DMZ13jp’s favorites. Thank that guy!

In this ad, almost everything about a woman changes as she shows how fashion changed throughout time (EG: Egyptian, Greece, Victorian (? 1750), Roaring 20s (hot!!), with a hair burst to get to present day ‘2008’)

Should be of interest, I Figure.

Neutro Roberts - Hair / Person TF & Change

Another one of DMZ13jp’s favorites. Thank that guy!

In this ad, starting with a bald/shaved woman, she rolls her hair/head a bit and whips out some new hair. Not bad, as she changes between male and female.  YMMV.

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios - Hair jump at sound

In this ad for (above), a few things happen. THe thing I care about is the scene where the girl at breakfast is eating the cereal, only to have her pigtails flap and her eyes roll up when she chomps on a large bite.  YMMV I suppose, though.

Text from PIFMan092:

US commercial with a plethora of animation in different styles; provided by the British studio The Film Garage.

Cap’n Crunch Berries - Hair Transformation, eye bugout.

Oooh. I like this one, and totally forgot it existed. D: One from my childhood.  I think it’s pretty rare, so you might want to DL if you like it.

In this ad for Crunch Berries, a boy has a ‘wild take’ with crunchberries, and another guy does later.  What I like more, though, was two girls who eat the Crunchberries and get very bright, colorful, and wig-like hair. (Of course, it’s a wig. but. :P <3 No, Crunchberry magic.)

Meiji Fran - Aromatier - Hair Change

In this ad, a woman (Erika Sawajiri) delicately waves two sticks of Fran around, leaving the smells floating, and turns her head a variety of times, having a hair and look change.  At the end, she eats one, and the smell blows her hair back and colors it a bit.  Thanks to the Hair TF Thread at the Process Productions.

Sadly, I couldn’t find a good HQ download, besides the following Stream that only Windows Media player understands:

http://stream.meiji.co.jp/movie/sweets/fran/fran_kaori_30s.wmv

I managed to download the DAT file from that stream, as well as the WMV that connected to it.  However, renaming or opening the DAT file does no good :( (Help??)

Skittles - Pigtails (Kung-fu)

In this ad for Skittles, a girl’s pigtails come alive and kung-fu steal every single one of a teasing boy’s skittles.  The girl (sadly) doesn’t notice, and only finds a pile of skittles on her lap. :s  Def. likely to interest a few people.

Posted this a bit soon so I can reference it in a Hair TF thread at the Process Productions forum.
