* Mousse of ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' likes to do this a lot, though part of the reason might be due to vanity and the fact he's pretty good looking when he's not sporting a massive pair of [[Nerd Glasses]]. Of course, because he's [[Blind Without 'Em]], he invariably ends up making himself look stupid by, say, addressing the wrong person, or walking into something. Of course, he's not much better off with them ''on''...
* Chichiri from ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''... sort of. He wears a mask.
** A smiley face mask. Made to look like his face. Before it was heavily scarred.
Line 59:
* ''[[Back to The Future (Film)|Back to The Future]]'': Roads? ''Where we're going we don't need * glasses flip* roads!''
** Played with, in that they're his rearview display, predating actual back-up cameras by 15-20 years.
* Played ''achingly'' straight in ''The Chronicles of Riddick''. Granted, with Riddick's sensitive eyes he has to put his goggles on when it gets too bright, but the amount of dramatic taking off of said goggles is excessive to the point of unintentional [[Running Gag]]. Seriously. Watch the movie and count how many times he takes them off or puts them on. [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|It's hysterical.]]
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Film)|Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', the Vegan Police repeatedly remove and replace their sunglasses whenever they say something dramatic. [[Large Ham|Which is frequently.]]
* ''[[Sucker Punch]]'': When either Blue or Doctor Gorski don their reading glasses to take a closer look at something, you know they are about to make an important discovery.

* In ''[[Doctor HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog (Web Video)|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'', Dr. Horrible pulls on his goggles to come to the very last scene.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bwgWbZARAY&feature=related Seto Kaiba do this] at the end of episode 44, complete with the "YEEAAAAHH."
** [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|Looks like the rules (puts glasses on) just got screwed]]
* [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]] does this as part of the [[Lock and Load Montage]] in ''[[Kickassia]]'', spins dramatically...and then puts them right back on.
* (Pulls off sunglasses) [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/doom-house.php A doom house?!]
Line 179:
* Chris-chan, creator of [[Sonichu]], frequently does this when he starts to rant about [[Serious Business|trolls]].
* [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mother-of-god Now in meme form.]
* Desmond, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Splinter Cell Extinction]]'' poses as a geeky programmer. When he leads the protagonist into an ambush, he silently takes his glasses off and puts a tactical vest on instead of gloating. Works better, especially paired with [[One -Woman Wail|the music]].
 
 
Line 188:
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb (Animation)|Phineas and Ferb]]'': "[[Once an Episode|Aren't you a little young]] to know about all these old detective shows?" "Yes. Yes we... are." (YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!)
* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Jimmy constantly putting on [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]] just to invoke this trope.
* Rainbow Dash does this with a pair of goggles in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Swarm of the Century."
