A trope used extensively in B-movies from the 50's and 60's. The capital-h Hero or scientist, to emphasize a point he's trying to make, takes his glasses off or puts them on before delivering a melodramatic line. This is parodied in modern productions such that the scientist will put his glasses back on and whip them off again with nearly every line. Also used to parody Soap Opera doctors, whose glasses always come off when delivering bad news to the patient. Another common gag is for someone removing their glasses to have an identical pair on underneath. Authority figures like a Scary Librarian might look over the tops of their reading glasses, or carefully take them off, in order to give that person a more effective steely glare. A gut-wrenchingly horrible pun optional note YYYEEEAAAHHH!!! In Real Life, not many people with glasses whip them off after delivering a dramatic line, although some might remove their glasses if they spot something unusual due to presbyopia, just to double-check that they're seeing correctly. Optometrists will warn against removing them with one hand as it could damage the frames. A subtrope of Character Tics and The Take. See also The Glasses Come Off. Contrast Attentive Shade Lowering, which is a reaction to something someone else said or did. A Glasses Pull should not be confused with an Ass Pull, it'll ruin your glasses. |

Parodied in 2012. The preteen son of the hero is wearing a pair of sun glasses with the tag still on, whilst in a Yellowstone gift shop. After he gets a call from mom, he takes off said glasses (cue dramatic zoom in of his face) and says, "mom wants us home". | |

Mousse of Ranma ½ 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 Opaque 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... | |

Back to the Future: At the beginning of the movie, Marty McFly has one after he is blown across the room after plugging his guitar into a giant amplifier at full volume. He sits up in the rubble he has caused, slowly reaches to remove his shades and utters, while staring at the now destroyed amp, "Whoa. Rock 'n' roll." At the very end of the movie, Doc tells Marty "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. |

In Daredevil (2003), Matt takes his sunglasses off to let the rain touch his eyes. When it rains on his girlfriend, his hearing allows him to "see" when water sprays on them, so the eye-wear-removal makes A! Dramatic! Statement! The removal of the glasses is also kind of a callback to earlier when she asks if she can remove his glasses. He's hesitant, as the blind gaze tends to bother people. | |

Hot Fuzz parodies the hell out of this in one scene where some form of eyewear is removed for basically every line. That one scene is the peak of it, but most of the times the detectives speak they remove some eyewear. However, for that scene, the detectives had multiple lines- so they were wearing riot helmets as well as their sunglasses, just for the sake of drama. | |

Played with in Horton Hears a Who! (2008). While answering the mayor's "hypothetical" question, Dr. LaRue whips off her safety glasses on the obvious dramatic line. In a later scene, she whips them off on an innocuous word so she can put them back on for the most dramatic line. | |

This Is It, Michael Shayne: There's more than one comment in the narrative about how Beatrice the Sexy Secretary would look hotter if she took her glasses off. At the end, private detective Michael Shayne tells her that he knows she is the murderer. Beatrice turns around "and lifted her face, sliding the glasses off," when she realizes that she's going to have to seduce him to win his sympathy. (It doesn't work.) | |

On Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Vice Principal Crubbs always wears the same white suit and sunglasses (he's a parody of Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice — vice principal. get it?). If he shows up in an episode, you can guarantee he will whip them off before the end of his dialogue (often accompanied by a dramatic sound effect), then replace them and walk away as he finishes speaking. Truly hilarious when he has many scenes in a single episode. He will also use them to glare dramatically after, yes, whipping them off (often times going "I'm watching you super closely like this! and then proceeds to do all sorts of bizarre poses with his glasses). At one point, he took off a pair of glasses to reveal another pair of glasses underneath them. |

In terms of public speaking, the glasses removal trick can actually work fairly well, if done carefully. For example, some people first learning how to handle witnesses in court, or doing opening or closing arguments, will start fidgeting with their clothes or their glasses. One way to take the latter and make it work is to channel it; when you get to a question or line in your argument where you're really trying to make a point, draw attention to it by taking off your glasses and using them as a "prop" if you will by gesturing with the hand you have them in. (Granted, over doing it will make you look hammier than Horatio Caine, but careful application is very effective!) Law school witness examination classes actually occasionally bring this up as a useful trick to have in your arsenal. | |

On The West Wing, Josh Lyman threatens a Congressman over a vote. President Bartlet also has a tendency to whip off his glasses whenever Leo tells him anything dramatic. (Or when Charlie informs him that the Butterball has a hotline.) Of course, he wears reading glasses, so he's usually looking up from whatever dramatic memo Leo put in his hands. Sam Seaborn – who, despite being in his early 30s, already wears reading glasses – puts them on almost as an 'action mode' sign when he's getting serious about work. Or to subconsciously mock-imitate the President. |

Played achingly straight in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004). 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. | |

In Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the Vegan Police repeatedly remove and replace their sunglasses whenever they say something dramatic. Which is frequently. | |

Oh, so often on Battlestar Galactica (2003). Roslin and Adama are particularly fond of the trope with their spectacles, and lawyer Romo Lampkin does much the same with his usual sunglasses. Seeing as Romo has rather piercing eyes, it's clear he does this for effect (along with everything else he does). |

Giles does this frequently in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He even lampshades it in a tie-in comic when he has his arm in a sling and is unable to remove them. Also lampshaded in "All the Way" when Xander/Anya start snogging passionately to celebrate their engagement. It all becomes too much for Buffy when she's caught in a "Groundhog Day" Loop in "Life Serial" — she snatches them from Giles' hand and crushes them underfoot. In "Becoming Part 2", a smirking Angelus cleans Giles' glasses for him while he's tied to a chair and tortured by having his fingers broken. Noticably averted in "The Gift". When Giles murders Ben he makes a point of putting his glasses on, as if refusing to spare himself the horror of what he's about to do. |

The Caves of Steel. The police commissioner has a habit of polishing his glasses when he's nervous, and the detective protagonist thinks it's a good way of appearing to be busy while he's actually trying to think of what to say. Unlike lighting a pipe which would be too expensive in a future where tobacco is rare. It also keeps the glasses in the audience's mind, as they're an important clue. Turns out the Commissioner is the murderer; he removed his glasses to clean them and dropped them in his nervousness. Shards of glass left at the crime scene are used to prove this. | |

Parodied on an episode of Burn Notice by Sam Axe posing as a crime scene investigator, complete with horrendous Quip to Black. Made funnier because the show is set in Miami. Also done here by Phineas and Ferb. |

NTSF:SD:SUV:: is basically a parody of all tech-driven cop shows ever, but has a special place in its heart for CSI: Miami. Is it any surprise the intro features lead character and Horatio Caine expy Trent Hauser doing standard and Caine pulls in the space of a split second? | |
