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 items|miscellaneous item]] rather than a [[Hats|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 [http://www.homestarrunner.com Homestar Runner] series of Flash animations.

The '''Dangeresque, Too?''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Cosmetic items|cosmetic item]] for the {{cl|Demoman}}. It is the [[w:Shutter shades|shutter shades]] worn by [[w:List of Homestar Runner characters#Homestar Runner|Homestar Runner]] from the ''[[w:Homestar Runner|Homestar Runner]]'' series of Flash animations.
−
* 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.
 
  
−
* {{w|Shutter shades}} 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.

This item is awarded to players who earn the ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'' achievement ''Special Item: Strong Bad'' by defeating Strong Bad during a round in which he has bought in with the item instead of cash. As of May 23, 2019, the game has been removed from sale. However, any owners may still obtain its promotional items.
  
−
* 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 concieved as ironic or fitting considering the demoman is a wide user of explosives.
