- Justified:
- Corey is blind. Night and day don't mean anything when you can't see.

- Corey is a sentient pair of sunglasses.

- Zig-Zagged: Corey wears his sunglasses just to look cool, but takes them off when he actually needs to do something that requires his full sight. Then he puts them back on and goes back to looking cool.
- Averted: Corey doesn't have any sunglasses.
- Enforced:
- Rule of Cool.
- The extras that wore sunglasses didn't know that they were in a blue filter night scene.
- Lampshaded: "Isn't it hard for you to see in the dark with your sunglasses?"
- Invoked: Secret Service Agent Corey is issued a pair of sunglasses and told to wear them at all times, day or night.
- Exploited: Because he always wears sunglasses, Corey can ogle pretty girls without them knowing.
- Defied: "Wear my sunglasses at night? I won't be able to see anything, you moron!"
- Discussed: "It's gonna be dark soon. Got your sunglasses ready?"

- Deconstructed: Corey wears his sunglasses while driving at night, and gets into a crash.
- Reconstructed: Corey lights his car up enough that he can see through his sunglasses all the same.
- Played for Laughs: Corey thinks wearing sunglasses at night is all it takes to make him cool, but when he acts like his normal square self, Cringe Comedy ensues.
- Played for Drama: Corey thinks wearing sunglasses at night is all it takes to make him cool, but it turns out he's with people who don't think it's cool, and they ostracize him.
- Played for Horror: It's a clue that Corey is from a much darker plane of existence.
