The Dangeresque, Too?, also referred to as the Dangeresque Shades 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 - in the cartoon of the same name. They are unlocked by defeating Strong Bad in a special bonus round in Template:W.[1]
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. They first show up in Strong Bad email #106: dangeresque 3
- Template:W were invented in 1927, but they became popular during the 1980's (nearly 20 years after TF2 takes place). Also their functions vary depending on the model, as they either be used to protect from UV rays from damaging the eyes, or purely for style.
- 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. This could be conceived as ironic or fitting considering the Demoman uses a wide variety of explosives.
