The origin of "The goggles! They do nothing!!"
Where'd it come from?

An episode of the Simpsons. They were filming a movie based on Bart's favorite comic book hero, Radioactive Man. The Schwarzenegger-parody character played Radioactive Man, and was tied to a post in the nuclear power plant as part of a scene. In the scene, his sidekick (played by Milhouse) is supposed to untie him and rescue him before a flood of extremely toxic crap comes rushing down and eats away at everything in it's path. Goggles are passed out in case they're needed.
Well, the scene starts, and the sidekick is nowhere to be found. "Radioactive Man" puts on the goggles, and is then carried away by the flood of toxic crap. As he is carried away, you hear him cry out:
"My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!"

It doesn't sound that funny, but it was fucking hilarious in the show.

You also need to hear the line "Now this is real acid so lets have goggles people" from the director. Radioactive Man replies "Real acid?"
Just as the wave hits him he puts on the goggles. Then we see him throw through a trailer wall with his cloths melted off. Then the famous line comes.

It was really fucking funny during Quake Paintball. Nothing beat that one. You get shot, then the damn sound bite comes up
'My EYES! The goggles do nothing!'
That was just fucked up.
