There are Cool Shades and there are Sinister Shades. There are Nerd Glasses and there are Bespectacled Cutie round glasses. And then there are these. Perhaps it's the bright pink lenses. Perhaps it's the rhinestone-encrusted frames. Perhaps it's the way they jut out several feet from the wearer's face. Whatever it is these glasses have, the one thing they do not have is subtlety. These glasses come in a mix-and-match variety of styles, depending on the effect the costume department is going for: Coloured lenses mark out the user as eccentric or different - bonus points for having two different colours for the lenses. Shaped lenses can give the wearer a very 1970s aesthetic, especially if they are star or heart shaped. Fancy frames make the wearer seem kitsch or out-of-touch - the more decorated the glasses, the campier the individual. |

In several episodes of Are You Being Served?, Mr Humphries is seen wearing Elton John-style glasses. In the episode "Grounds for Divorce", he and Mr Spooner are under instructions to push sales of such glasses, but their attempts to appeal to a customer backfire as he instead sells Mr Humphries his own rainbow plastic-framed glasses for £5. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In one episode, rock star Jagged Stone commissions Marinette to create a pair of sunglasses for him. The result is a pair of red, white, and blue Eiffel Tower-shaped shutter shades. A few akumatized villains also have these: The Gamer has a pair of green butterfly-shaped shades, which are also where the akuma resides. Frightningale wears a pair of large star-shaped shades that are blue on one side, red on the other, and light purple in the center. Kwamibuster has a pair of goggles with lime green lenses. Party Crasher has a pair of shades that are the same silver color and pattern as his disco ball hands; how he sees out of those is anyone's guess. |

Academician Prokhor Zakharov from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri wears boat-light glasses. As literally as possible-one lens is red, the other is green (except their directions are reversed: his glasses are red on the right and green on the left, whereas a boat is the other way around). | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is famous for Kamina's over-the-top jagged orange shades, which have gone on to inspire an internet meme. Kamina's shades aren't even the most spectacular ones. They get topped about twenty episodes later with Simon's Kamina/Kittan homage star-shaped shades (not as in one star for each lens, the whole thing's one star). And this all ignoring the ones some of the mecha wear. Little known fact in Pokémon: The Original Series: Ash's Squirtle was wearing the pointed shades a good decade before Kamina ever donned them. |

Tabitha, the recurring guest on the Black Mountain Radio broadcast in Fallout: New Vegas wears pink, heart-shaped glasses with one lens missing, and a blonde babydoll wig with a red ribbon (referred to as her "truth-seeing eye" and "head of real hair"). Seeing as Tabitha is a hulking, overmuscled, blue-skinned supermutant with few definite sexual characteristics and the voice of a longtime smoker gargling gravel, it might be a desperate attempt to hold on to any vestiges of feminine identity. Being terminally insane plays some part, as well. | |

xkcd's strip New Year's Eve Party concerns those fancy novelty glasses shaped like the year number that you'll see during New Year's.

It's possible to invoke this in Fire Emblem Fates. The game introduced an accessory shop, and one of the outfit pieces is appropriately called the "Tinted Lenses". They're a pair of opaque, brightly-colored sunglasses... which, like the above example, exist in a medieval-inspired setting. | |

The shades occasionally worn by Ray Person in Generation Kill are themselves mild compared to the other examples here, but become quite silly when worn by a US Marine in fatigues/MOPP gear invading Iraq while explaining the finer points of life in the Corps ("We pimpin'") or hitting on hot Iraqi women. It was enough for Person plus his shades to be the miniseries' cover◊. | |

In one FoxTrot strip, Peter buys a pair of sunglasses with one square lens and one triangular lens and asks everyone in the family if they like it. They all call it tacky, and Peter remarks that he's glad he's found sunglasses that no one will borrow. | |

Doctor Who: In "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday", the Tenth Doctor wears a set of 3D anaglyph classes. Justified in that those glasses make it possible to detect the presence of Void stuff. | |

Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes wears a variety of coloured shades...his default one are 'Sunflower Yellow', but they're also available in Peony Pink, Cobalt Blue, Pumking Seed Orange, and - if you're feeling particularly boring - traditional grey. | |

Cedric from Battle Fantasia uses your regular run-of-the-mill glasses, until you use his taunt, at which point he changes it for a randomly selected eyewear, including some perfect examples of this trope, like goggles, 3D glasses and Groucho Marx glasses. Did we mention this game is a medieval fantasy? | |

In the alternate history of National Treasure, Benjamin Franklin invented a special pair of colonial spectacles (known as the "Ocular Device") to help treasure hunters read a clue on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Their oddity comes from the fact that it sports not just two, but SIX lenses, four of which are attached steampunk style to the frames, and three of THOSE lenses are colored red, green, and blue. | |

In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Arnold ends up stealing his usual all-black & leather outfit from a gay male stripper and tries on a pair of gaudy star-shaped sunglasses that he finds in the pocket. He then takes them off and steps on them as he walks off. | |

Togano Shozo of Eyeshield 21 sports a pair of oversized, orange-tinted sunglasses that somehow manage to escape notice or mention throughout the entirety of the series thus far. During his first few appearances (before getting a more consistent design), jerk jock Agon sported cheetah print framed shades. Apparently, everyone in this series is oblivious to silly sunglasses. |

In Frasier, Marty Crane, after reluctantly accepting he needs glasses, chooses a pair which are somewhat flamboyant. Frasier, Niles and Daphne are then stuck with the problem of explaining that he might like to choose a design more suited to a tough ex-cop in his sixties. | |
