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 - in the cartoon of the same name. They are unlocked by defeating Strong Bad in a special bonus round in Poker Night at the Inventory.[1]
