The goggles do nothing!

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki


The goggles do nothing! is an internet catchphrase and meme, originating from the quote by Rainier Wolfcastle, "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" from the episode "Radioactive Man". The quote has been shortened to simply "the goggles do nothing". It is now a popular catchphrase used for conveying the horror of having seen something unwanted.

References in other media[edit]

The ending credits of the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos features a sketch where a film crew is attacked by dragons, prompting the director to exclaim, "THE GOGGLES... THEY DO NOTHING!"

In the game Team Fortress 2, a hat is available to the Medic called "Ze Goggles" with the description stating that it does "nothing", a reference to the meme.
