Line 275:
* ''[[Coronation Street]]'': Deirdre was known as "Miss Sexy Spex" when younger (back in [[The Seventies]]). Her actress doesn't need glasses.
* ''[[Criminal Minds]]'': The adorable Penelope Garcia. She actually ditches her glasses for an episode to try and look more professional, but goes back to them when she's told to be herself.
* ''[[Daddy's Daughters]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115100927/http://www.papinydochki.ru/wp-content/photos/Galina_Sergeevna_small.jpg Galina Vasnetsova].
* ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'': For the students, there's Liberty, and then later, Clare, before she got her laser eye surgery, another bane of glasses fetishists. For the teachers there's Mrs. Oh.
* ''[[Dollhouse]]'': [[Summer Glau|Bennett]] which is actively lampshaded by Topher, who out and out says she's almost ''perfect''. Except for the whole "violently seeking revenge on Caroline's body" thing...
Line 439:
** Howard even has an... unplanned emission, the first (and second) times he sees her this way. [[Don't Explain the Joke|I mean an orgasm, of course]].
** Another ''[[Walkyverse]]'' example is Walky's high-school sweetheart Dorothy.
** And let's not forget the author's bespectacled [[Real Life]] <s>girlfriend</s> wife [https://web.archive.org/web/20111223234142/http://www.walkypedia.com/index.php/Maggie Maggie], showing up alongside his [[Author Avatar]]. It's starting to seem like there's a bit of [[Author Appeal]] involved...
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20121029035014/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20041111.html Surely not.]
** Amber O'Malley from "Shortpacked".
** Also parodied in the same strip, when [[Genki Girl]] Robin gives Amber a makeover, then tries to play the Meganekko role herself but [http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060314.html fails on an epic level.]
** Recently Amber exchanged her coke bottle frames, [[Lampshade Hanging|commenting on how outdated they are]], and gotten a pair of smaller, [[Your Mileage May Vary|much nicer-looking]] modern glasses that work just as well.
* ''[[Magiversity]]'': Minna Galford, the main character.
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [
* ''[[Megatokyo]]'': Yuki wore these when she became a [[Magical Girl]]; being Largo her mentor, however, they're quickly replaced with [[Cool Shades]].
** Ping also experimented with glasses at one point in a vain attempt at making herself less attractive. Sadly, it backfired, due to this trope.
Line 498:
* ''[[Metalocalypse]]'': Male example; Dethklok's manager, Charles Foster Offdensen.
* ''[[The Mighty B!]]'': Bessie Higgenbottom (and the episode "Blindsided" proves that she does in fact look better ''with'' glasses)
* ''[[Monster Allergy]]'' has Zick's [[Hot Mom]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102124843/http://butterfly.altervista.org/ma/personaggi_file/greta.gif Greta] [http://www.mapage.altervista.org/Greta%20Barrymore1.JPG Barrymore].
* ''[[Pepper Ann]]'': The title character.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'': Gretchen.
