History Main / YellowSnow

* As said by Koda from ''Disney/BrotherBear'', "If the snow's white, then it's all right. Yellow or green, it's just not clean."

->'''Quagmire''': Hey, maybe we could set [Peter] up with another lemon snowcone, huh?
->'''Peter''': No thanks. The last one you gave me didn't taste like lemon at all. It tasted like... ''(pause)'' Oh, you guys are '''asses'''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Cjsnq8kVU One of the teasers]] for ''Film/Deadpool2'' parodied ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting'' with Deadpool as Bob Ross. All of the colors across the bottom of the screen are puns ([[Film/MenInBlack "Mennen Black"]]), {{Shout Out}}s (''[[Film/AClockworkOrange Clockwork Orange]]'', Creator/BettyWhite) or paints with silly names, including, naturally, "Yellow Snow."
* ''Film/{{Elf}}'': Leon the snowman tells Buddy the human raised by elves that New York is full of "wondrous creatures-- except dogs", then tells him not to eat the yellow snow. Although, dogs aren't the only creatures who make yellow snow.

* The Abominable Snowman's mysterious "lemon" snowcones in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', which he offers to visitors. The frigid remoteness of his cave and his chronic isolation are...[[FridgeHorror not reassuring]]. [[note]] However, it is never revealed where it came from, and the Yeti could well have been being [[SincerityMode sincere]] when he says "it's lemon". [[/note]]
** When you think about it, where is a Yeti living in a cave (presumably in the Himalayas) is going to have access to lemon juice?
* In ''Film/SnowDay'', one of the different types of snowballs offered for a snowball fight is a yellow one. It's not very popular.

* 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]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Neopets}}'': One of the several snowballs that can be used as weapons is a yellow one. It's not known exactly how the snow got yellow, but the narrator seems disgusted by it.

* As said by Koda from ''Disney/BrotherBear'', "If the snow's white, then it's all right. Yellow or green, it's just not clean."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' Christmas special, Sid sees yellow snow and wants to taste it. But Prancer, knowing what it is, quickly says "Don't. Just...don't."

'''Connery:''' Are you sure? I made some last night. Spelled my name. Of course, it was [[YourMom your mother's]] handwriting! ''(laughing)'' She was holding the pen!

* The Winter Olympics special on ''TopGear'' had two challenges between James and Jeremy; the loser of each would have to partake of the yellow snow. Each lost a challenge, so each got to "enjoy" their prize.

->'''Peter''': No thanks. [[ExplainExplainOhCrap The last one you gave me didn't taste like lemon at all.]] [[IAteWhat It tasted like...]] ''([[{{Beat}} pauses]])'' Oh, you guys are '''asses'''.

* ''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)

-->'''Olaf:''' Yeeah, it really is beautiful, isn't it? But so white! How 'bout a little color? I'm thinkin' like maybe some crimson, chartreuse, how 'bout yellow? No, not yellow. Yellow in snow: bleurgh. No-go.

* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', [[CloudCuckoolander Olaf]] is wandering through the snow and thinking of colors for it.

* 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]].

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

[[caption-width-right:350:Yyeaaaahh... [[GenreSavvy I wouldn't have one]].]]

When you see snow outside that's ominously yellow-colored. Or worse, when someone tries to feed you a "lemon" snowcone. Yeah, this is a ToiletHumor trope. Sometimes hilariously combined with a character's own moment of FridgeHorror when they realize what it actually is.

* ''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.

* In ''Disney/{[Frozen}}'', [[CloudCuckoolander Olaf]] is wandering through the snow and thinking of colors for it.

* In ''Disney/Frozen'', [[CloudCuckoolander Olaf]] is wandering through the snow and thinking of colors for it.

* In the second ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' game, ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'', 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!"
