--> '''Servo:''' ...you won't find them here.
--> '''Narrator:''' Thrills galore in this winter sport.
--> '''Joel:''' ...are darn hard to come by.
* SelfDeprecation: One shot of a snowy landscape has the crew saying it's a beautiful July day in Minnesota. The show was filmed in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation contains these tropes:

* BlackHumor: Snow Thrills is chock full of it. Many references to being maimed, killed and even disemboweled.

* FinishingEachOthersSentences: During the riffing of the ''Snow Thrills'' short.
--> '''Narrator:''' Beauty, grace, and rhythm.
--> '''Servo:''' ...you won't find them here.
--> '''Narrator:''' Thrills galore in this winter sport.
--> '''Joel:''' ...are darn hard to come by.

* SelfDeprecation: One shot of a snowy landscape in ''Snow Thrills'' has them saying it's a beautiful July day in Minnesota. The show was filmed in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

* Crow and Servo are confused after learning that James Arness and Creator/PeterGraves are siblings, asking about siblings who actually ''share'' a last name?. Said siblings receive a song honoring them... largely to pad out the episode.

* Joel plans to go on ''Series/StarSearch'' with his ventriloquism act, with Crow as his puppet.

* The Mads suggest wearing nooses as a "dead guy" Halloween costume. For people who enjoy listening to the ocean in seashells, Joel offers the Creator/{{Sony}} Seaman, a conch you hook up to some headphones.

* Joel and the 'Bots trade insults over dessert coffee. Dinner doesn't seem to have been very good.

* James Arness and Creator/PeterGraves are '''siblings'''? What about siblings who actually ''share'' a last name? They receive a song honoring them.

* Peter Graves' speech is re-experienced over TV dinners. Each of the 'Bots get to read a letter; Tom's has several illustrations of the characters in multiple pages. Back in Deep 13, even the Mads are entranced by Graves' speech.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Tom and Crow call out Joel for derailing their discussion about siblings with different last names with a bit about siblings with the ''same'' last names, Joel [[BreakingTheFourthWall admits they needs to pad out the episode due to the movie running short.]] This goes a long way to explain [[OverlyLongGag the extended focus]] [[HumansAreSpecial on the movie's ending speech...]]

* NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse: In the middle of discussing how certain famous siblings have different last names, Joel abruptly starts to talk about how others would have the ''same'' last name, something Tom and Crow call him out on. Joel's response?
-->'''Joel''': Well, uh... (quietly) [[BreakingTheFourthWall the film's kinda short today, and we need to pad out the experiment... so, if you don't mind...]]

* {{Padding}}[[InvokedTrope ]]: The song about celebrity siblings with shared last names. Joel persuades the 'bots to go along with it because the movie was relatively short and they needed to fit the episode's running time. This also contributed to Graves' PatrickStewartSpeech being replayed in its entirety by both Joel and the Bots, and later the Mads, after the movie

** Servo whistles a snatch from the theme to ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. One of the stars of this movie, Lee van Cleef, also played Angel Eyes, "The Bad," in that movie.

* Creator/JamesArness and Creator/PeterGraves are '''siblings'''? What about siblings who actually ''share'' a last name? They receive a song honoring them.

* The Mads suggest wearing nooses as a "dead guy" Halloween costume. For people who enjoy listening to the ocean in seashells, Joel offers the Sony Seaman, a conch you hook up to some headphones.

* James Arness and Peter Graves are '''siblings'''? What about siblings who actually ''share'' a last name? They receive a song honoring them.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Crow makes the following remark during the "human polar bear" part of the short.
--> '''Crow:''' Let's talk about shrinkage, shall we?
** Also from ''Snow Thrills'':
-->'''Narrator''': Fast becoming one of the most popular winter sports is shiing (skiing). And "shiing" is the proper pronunciation, they tell us.
-->'''Joel''': Yeah, well you're full of skit.
** And again from ''Snow Thrills'', when a title announces [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skijoring "Ski joring"]]:
-->'''Joel''': What? Shee whoring?

** Joel and the 'Bots poke a lot of fun at Creator/PeterGraves' {{Overly Long|Gag}} closing speech... by letting it play out, uncommented (almost) and in full, ''[[OverlyLongGag 4¼ times]]''.

* {{Padding}}[[InvokedTrope ]]: The song about celebrity siblings with shared last names. Joel persuades the 'bots to go along with it because the movie was relatively short and they needed to fit the episode's running time.
* PetTheDog: The crew really liked Paul's speech, which is the reason for the Running Gag below. The Deep 13 version had Forrester and Frank raptly watching the ending while eating their TV dinners, which is probably how ''many'' people reacted watching it at home.

* BerserkButton: While most of the movie receives the usual riffing, the scene of the female scientist being brutally and graphically strangled by her mind-controlled coworkers elicits a shower of boos from Joel and the Bots. Servo does compliment her death rattle when it's over, though.

** During the opening host segment Joel makes a reference to [[Creator/JeffDunham's Peanut]].

* RunningGag: The host and his robots poke a lot of fun at Creator/PeterGraves' closing speech... in the span of the episode ending.
** OverlyLongGag: Graves' speech is played not once, not twice, but ''three and a quarter times'' after the movie. (On the SOL, in Deep 13, over the credits, and as TheStinger.)
** Then there's the repeated references to Peter Graves as [[Series/{{Gunsmoke}} James]] [[RealLifeRelative Arness]].

--> '''Claire Anderson:''' I won't love a monster, I ''won't!''
--> '''Servo:''' That's what [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivana_Trump Ivana]] said.

* RunningGag: The host and his robots poke a lot of fun at Creator/PeterGraves' closing speech...in the span of the episode ending.

* DeathRattle: Although Joel and the Bots' BerserkButton is set off by the murder of the female scientist, Servo does take a moment at the end to compliment hers.

* ShoutOut: Servo whistles a snatch from the theme to ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. One of the stars of this movie, Lee van Cleef, also played Angel Eyes, "The Bad," in that movie.
