Gamified hair product skydiving challengefrom @monte
[01]
Overview
The video begins with three men in suits on an airfield being challenged by a woman to skydive. They accept and prepare by selecting and applying different hair styling products, which are presented with video game-style UI overlays comparing their stats. The men then board a plane, jump out with instructors, and experience a high-speed freefall, after which the video shows that the man who used the superior product still has perfectly styled hair, winning the implicit challenge.
