Memes: The Simpsons
Yes, yes, we know what the goggles do.

The Simpsons, the longest-running American cartoon in history, with its own fair share of memetic goodness.


  • On many forums, variations of the line "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" are commonly used by posters to indicate they've seen something they really wish they hadn't (not too dissimilar to "do not want"). It is sometimes rendered as a C++ function:
    void the_goggles(){} // do nothing
    • Jeminy Jillickers, Radioactive Man!
  • Worst. Meme. Ever. Comic Book Guy's most well-known catch phrase, "Worst. (Noun). Ever." (usually punctuated that way on the Internet) has become a meme of epic proportions.
