In an ad for something like, say, shampoo, toothpaste, a toothbrush or face wash or somesuch, you'll see a little animated close-up of the effect said product is supposed to have on you. Like... glowy thingies smoothing your flaky hair or a nice blue barrier forming against that nasty plaque. The celebrity, non-celebrity or voice over person will witter on about the benefits that the product will have on your hair, teeth, pores, etc. Sometimes, fancy chemical names (often made-up or proprietary) and Techno Babble are thrown around. Usually it bears absolutely no resemblance to anything at all, and anyone who has taken elementary college biology classes could find about a hundred things wrong in the first three seconds. But that's Hollywood Science for you. The trope title comes from the lampshading in L'Oreal commercials. Ben Affleck did an ad in the UK that featured the line, "Here comes the SCIENCE!", Fark got hold of it and it went memetic. Many an MST has used the phrase to lampshade an Exposition Bomb of Technobabble. Compare All-Natural Snake Oil. Not to be confused with those warning signs they show on Mythbusters (Warning!: Science Content) to warn the viewer of the impending um, uh...science thing. Compare with Shaving Is Science. See also …But I Play One on TV, Spice Rack Panacea, and Asbestos-Free Cereal. |

Parodied on Horrible Histories with their ads for (usually genuine) historical products, such as Paule Revere's gunpowder toothpaste. This ads always contain the line "Here comes the science-y bit" as the voiceover explains whatever bizarre logic was behind the product. | |

Compare the Resident Evil (2002) trailer, with its T-Cell based Regenerate beauty cream with the one for Oil of Olay's Regenerist product line.... | |

Parodied on That Mitchell and Webb Look in this sketch. Ironically (or not), the sketch makes brushing your tongue sound like it is a fictional idea dreamed up by the marketing department when actually the bacteria and fungi that grow on the tongue are related to many common oral care and general health problems. In addition, decaying bacteria produce volatile sulphur compounds on the rear of the tongue; these molecules account for 80 to 95 percent of all cases of halitosis (bad breath). Although using a tongue cleaner rather than the brush is recommended, some brushes now have a tongue cleaner on the back of them. |

Those ads are eerily similar to the faux cosmetics ads in the Resident Evil Film Series trailers... Compare the Resident Evil (2002) trailer, with its T-Cell based Regenerate beauty cream with the one for Oil of Olay's Regenerist product line.... |

Parodied in a LoadingReadyRun sketch where the extra oxygen per molecule was being pushed as the selling point; the sciencey bit was just a guy in a labcoat calling this insane. | |
