the goggles do nothing 

a mini-meme originating from The Simpsons, the McBain character is warned to wear goggles to protect him from the acid, however later, he gets trapped in a flood of acid while yelling "MY EYES! THE GOGGLES TO NOTHING". It is often misread/pronounced as "the goggles, they do nothing".

Although the latter may be lulzier, the former is the correct origin of the meme.
McBain: MY EYES!! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

The goggles! They do nothing! 

A "saying" that originates from sub-human animals (see also hipsters) who claim to like The Simpsons but can't be bothered to actually quote anything accurately. The CORRECT line is "My eyes! The googles do nothing!"
Douche: "The goggles! They do nothing!"

Guy: "Man, what a pretentious douche... if you're going to try to sound clever by spouting pop culture references, you should at least get them right."

Attractive Girl: "You're so right, I'll have sex with YOU now instead of that loser."
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
