When things aren't just Dangerous, they're Danger-esque, block out UV rays with Homestar's killer shades. Remember, when walking away from an explosion, it's totally uncool to turn around to look at the carnage.
— Official Description

The Dangeresque, Too? is a currently unreleased cosmetic item for the Demoman. Precedence set by items such as the Whiskered Gentleman and the Camera Beard indicate that they will likely be a miscellaneous item rather than a hat, but no confirmation has been given on this. They are a pair of white "shutter shades", as worn by Homestar Runner - the titular character from the Homestar Runner series of Flash animations. They are unlocked by completing a special bonus round in Poker Night at the Inventory.

Trivia

  • The shades come from Strong Bad's low-budget, Ed Wood-esque action series Dangeresque (consisting of only three films). Dangeresque Too (usually spoken as Dangeresque...Too?), Dangeresque's (Strong Bad) sidekick, played by Homestar Runner, wears these shades.
  • Template:W were invented in 1927, but they really became popular in the 1980's, nearly 20 years after TF2 takes place. Also their functions vary depending on the model, as they can be either used to protect from UV rays from entering the eyes (or Demoman's only eye in this case), or be used for simple stylistic devices.
  • The official item description is a reference to the movie trope of turning away from explosions as they explode in slow-motion for dramatic effect.
