History Main / YellowSnow

* In the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' Christmas special, Sid sees yellow snow and wants to taste i. But Prancer, knowing what it is, quickly says "Don't. Just...don't."

->'''Quagmire''': "Hey, maybe we could set [Peter] up with another lemon snowcone, huh?"
->'''Peter''': "No thanks. [[ExplainExplainOhCrap The last one you gave me didn't taste like lemon at all.]] [[IAteWhat It tasted like...]]"

->'''Peter''': "Oh, you guys are '''asses'''."
-->--from ''FamilyGuy''

* FrankZappa's ''"Don't Eat the Yellow Snow"'' tells the story of an Inuit boy named Nanook, his favorite baby seal and a fur trapper. And, of course, the yellow snow.

* In the second ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' game, ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Justice for All]]'', Maya wants a snow cone from the closed circus concession stand. Phoenix points to all the snow all around them (since it's late December). When Maya points out that there's no syrup, Phoenix hopes to himself that she doesn't notice the discolored snow in the corner. "That's not syrup!"

* WesternAnimation/SouthPark the game on the Nintendo 64 had snowballs as the default attack. A special use for them is to take a whizz on them (with pants unzipping sound) then let fly. Hit one of the four kids with this and enjoy the creative ClusterFBomb retaliation.

->'''Peter''': "[[ExplainExplainOhCrap The first one didn't taste like lemon at all.]] [[IAteWhat It tasted like...]]"

Due to this trope's inherently juvenile RefugeInVulgarity, it is [[DiscreditedTrope unlikely to be appreciated]] by anyone older than 25. Or FrankZappa.

* In ''FamilyGuy'', Peter's friends give him a "lemon snowcone".
* Yeti's mysterious "lemon" snowcones in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', which he offers to visitors. The frigid remoteness of the Yeti's home and the Yeti's chronic isolation are...[[FridgeHorror not reassuring]].
* In an episode of ''SpongeBobSquarePants'', Patrick ate yellow sand.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Dr. Venture is left stranded and naked in the high Arctic by his paranoid PoisonousFriend Richard Impossible. As he's wandering through the frozen plain, he abruptly steps into polar bear urine, and angrily laments how he has the bad luck to step into the only patch of Yellow Snow for miles around.

* ChristmasOnVesterbro has it in the theme song. "Alt kan ske når det er jul/ selvom vores sne er gul" (translated: Everything can happen when it's christmas/ even though our snow is yellow)
* In ChannelAte, one character offers another lemonade with a wink. The second character promptly refuses to drink it.

* On ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Spike [[ConversationalTroping makes an extremely clear reference to this trope]] when he boasts about being [[CardCarryingVillain "as impure as the driven yellow snow]].

* In ''TheVentureBrothers'', Dr. Venture is left stranded and naked in the high Arctic by his paranoid PoisonousFriend Richard Impossible. As he's wandering through the frozen plain, he abruptly steps into polar bear urine, and angrily laments how he has the bad luck to step into the only patch of Yellow Snow for miles around.

* The USA commercial for [[{{Rayman}} Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]] uses this trope. It begins with two snowboarders who appear to be urinating in the snow, writing their names, and then we hear a wave-like sound in the distance [[ReactionShot as the camera focuses on the snowboarders staring in awe]]. The camera then turns to a bank of snow with the Rayman 3 logo written in urine, and Rayman looking at the camera, smiling. Then the commercial ends revealing that the snowboarders were actually squirting yellow liquids out of canteens.

* On BuffyTheVampireSlayer, Spike [[ConversationalTroping makes an extremely clear reference to this trope]] when he boasts about being [[CardCarryingVillain "as impure as the driven yellow snow]].

* One ''SouthPark'' video game featured yellow snowballs as a weapon (as an 'upgrade' from regular snowballs).

* SouthPark the game on the Nintendo 64 had snowballs as the default attack. A special use for them is to take a whizz on them (with pants unzipping sound) then let fly. Hit one of the four kids with this and enjoy the creative ClusterFBomb retaliation.
