Line 92:
* The Japanese music video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fq2cwZf7pc "LOVE Dokkyun"] by [[Capital Letters Are Magic|CLUB PRINCE]] has the band in [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|prince-like]] outfits teaching [[Hot Scientist|scientist-looking girls]] how to [[Shaped Like Itself|LOVE Dokkyun]]. It climaxes with the girls [[Flung Clothing|flinging off their nerdy attire]] to expose their [[She Cleans Up Nicely|happier, trendier]], [[Bishie Sparkle|sparklier]] selves.
=== [[
* Doubly subverted in ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'': When Galinda takes it upon herself to give Elphaba a makeover (in "Popular"), the first thing she does is remove Elphaba's glasses. The second thing she does is put them back on. All the same, Elphaba stops wearing glasses after that song.
* Male example (kind of) in ''[[The History Boys]]'': "Taking off my glasses is the last thing I do."
Line 101:
* Otacon in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', at Naomi's suggestion. Which is decidedly odd, as he had far left behind his actual [[Otaku|namesake-look]] and had been noticably [[Bishonen]] for a long time. {{spoiler|It's not all bad, though -- eventually, he puts them back on.}}
** Also, Emma Emmerich. Raiden says she would look better without her glasses, but she tells him 'no', and not for the sake of practicality, either. She doesn't even need them; they're just frames. She says that she just likes glasses.

* In the [[Whateley Universe]], Bugs (Bunny Cormick) normally looks like the blonde bombshell of your wildest dreams. But her power is that she's a genius inventor, so, being [[Genre Savvy]], she ''puts on'' the studious glasses to look like what one of her friends calls 'Professor Bunny'.▼
* Subverted in [[Team Starkid]]'s ''[[Me and My Dick]]'', Joey takes down Sally's hair and attempts to remove her glasses only to have her go cross-eyed.▼
* Parodied by [[The Nostalgia Chick]] back when she was wearing fake glasses. At the start of her Teen Witch review, she does the [[Beautiful All Along]] thing of taking off her glasses and shaking out her hair, but after that she puts the glasses back on, puts up her hair again and continues the review.▼
* Invoked and [[Serial Escalation|played with to ridiculous lengths]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20131207121920/http://magicaldeductions.tumblr.com/post/20499699340/ok-lets-see-if-that-thing-with-glasses-chicks this blog post].▼
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* Gwynn from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' wears huge, thick glasses and is [[Blind Without'Em]]. However, whenever Riff is around, she takes them off, apparently to appear more attractive to him. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. This finally stops when Gwynn, like the person in the ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' example under "Anime and Manga", uses magic to finally dispense with her glasses altogether.
* In ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', as part of Karen's makeover, Penny urges her to ditch her glasses for laser eye surgery.
{{quote|'''Penny:''' Boys don't cut classes for girls who wear glasses. But boys find it way sick when those girls get LASIK.}}
Line 115 ⟶ 109:
* When Kevyn has to lead the men for a while in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20041121.html the doctor insists] that he drop the glasses - that in order for him to pull off the position of authority in this grave time, the men have to see his eyes. (This, despite the fact that earlier, while in temporary command, he'd so terrified the men that one of them called for his mommy - and that was ''while'' Kevyn wore his glasses.)
** The doctor is clearly aware of the difference between leading people and driving them before you in terror...
