Baby With Giant Glasses My Daddy Is a Geek
Here on the SelectSpecs blog nosotros write a lot of posts about celebrity spectacles but so far we've neglected their cartoon cousins. At that place accept been and then many crawly cartoon characters that habiliment specs over the years – hither is our selection of some of the best ones that we'll always remember with addicted nostalgia…
ane. Hans Moleman (The Simpsons)
Without dubiety one of the funniest Simpsons characters, Hans Moleman'south awesome powers of feeble ineptitude undoubtedly stalk from his super thick (and bluntly pretty useless) goggle-eye glasses. The poor guy always seems to be hitting with the near terrible misfortune, he is ever back on his walking stick and fix for the adjacent disater. Moleman, nosotros salute you!
2. Peter Griffin (Family Guy)
Did you only double take? Most people (me included!) don't even realise that Peter from Family Guy fifty-fifty WEARS glasses. Just yup, there they are, glued to his face and cunningly exactly the same size equally his oversized eyeballs (hence the confusion). Bet they came in handy when the giant chicken was trying to peck his eyes out (see video). For the record we at SelectSpecs don't recommend using your spectacles every bit a suitable defense against giant chickens. In fact we suggest yous stay abroad from psychotic poultry altogether.
3. Penfold (DangerMouse)
The show may take been named after DangerMouse merely we all know Ernest Penfold, the beautiful, bumbling, giant-headed sidekick to the Earth's Greatest Secret Agent was the real star of the prove. Yes, he had a squeaky voice. Yes, he was rather dim, terrified of everything and utterly useless at crime fighting. Yes, he usually ended upwards getting captured by the enemy and then DangerMouse had to rescue him. But he was merely so CUTE! His height phrases are "crumbs Dangermouse" and "Ooh-eck!"
Penfold and his iconic glasses have a far reaching legacy for glasses wearers across the UK, becoming the standard schoolhouse playground taunt towards the child with glasses. School bullys, yous thought yous were being hateful just actually it was a huge compliment. Penfold Rocks. Really.
4. Velma (Scooby Doo)
Aaah Velma, the archetypal Geeky Glasses Girl, aka "the clever ane from Scooby Doo". Velma is usually the i coming upwardly with the elaborate plans despite being the youngest in the gang. Without her glasses she cannot even see her own hands in front of her face. When Scooby Doo was made Velma may accept fit the stereotype of the harmless, nerdy smart girl with conviction problems and bad grooming, but we reckon at that place's more to her and today she'd be more than like Enid from Ghost World. There's fifty-fifty a dedicated Velma Dinkley fan site "In appreciation of the near nether-appreciated member of Mysteries Inc (a groundbreaking slice of web design past the fashion).
5. Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob uses his spectacles similar most people apply reading glasses, except he only uses them when he goes jelly fishing. Most of the time they don't seem to help at all and he rarely manages to take hold of anything.
A lot of people seem to associate Spongebob with the the conveyor chugalug of brain-dumbening cartoons that have kids glued to their TV sets with blank faces and open, drooling mouths. They're wrong. If you spotter Spongebob, its actually a brilliant introduction to surreal, offbeat sense of humor – kind of like Ren & Stimpy meets The Iii Stooges. I'd rather my kids watch that than High School Musical, that's for sure…
6. Eric Cartman (South Park)
OK and so Cartman doesn't exactly wear spectacles merely he gets in the list for the classic "Respect My Authoritah" Ray Ban Sunglasses wait, and because he has to be 1 of the funniest cartoon characters always created. Nuff said.
seven. Professor Frink (The Simpsons)
Yep, the 2d Simpsons entry in our list simply I just could not leave off the genius that is Professor John I.Q Nerdelbaum Frink Jr. – the uber geeky scientist modelled on the archetype Nutty Professor played past Jerry Lewis. We particularly dear his trend to get into a gibberish fit when he gets excited. Frink is never to exist seen without his spectacles on, which is all part of his nerdish charm nosotros reckon.
8. Professor Farnsworth (Futurama)
The Simpsons creators basically took Professor Frink, added a few hundred years, senility, liver spots and a sadistic evil streak to create the lovable Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. Evidently the aged professor (Fry'due south great great great x30 nephew) has never been seen without his coke-bottle glasses on the show, although in one episode he did need his "reading glasses" which were twice the size of his normal ones! (bonus points to anyone who tin proper name the episode).
9. Cedric Sneer (The Raccoons)
Watching the trailer for The Raccoons makes me get a bit warm and fuzzy inside with nostalgia. The adventures of Bert Raccoon and his friends against the evil industrialist aardvark Cyril Sneer were a crucial part of any 80s childhood. Cedric Sneer was Bert's best friend and also the son of his arch nemesis Cyril Sneer. Quite frankly Cedric was a bit of a tool – pretty weak and useless and he ends upward joining forces with his dad. Only he did have some seriously heavyweight dork glasses and some insane nasal plumbing.
ten. Bonus Entry: Mr Magoo
OK so the whole point of Mr Magoo was that he doesn't wear glasses – simply the blind old codger is such a legend we had to take him in here. So what – information technology'southward our blog, we can do what we want =)
