* ObsessiveSpokesperson: In the second half of the special, Gilbert becomes an ''evangelist'' for springs: when he goes golfing with his friends, he spends the entire trip monologuing about springs and their many, many uses. His friends get annoyed at him, or bored to the point of falling asleep, and he just keeps talking about springs.

* StealthParody: Considering that most educational shorts don't feature people becoming incredibly bored and resentful of the information therein, this may be one.
** Not necessarily a parody-- it ''does'' convey all the information expected of it. It was just really well-written, by the standards of a Jam Handy educational short.
** It's also part of the short's ShowDontTell strategy: the golf buddies can fall asleep in the car because of the many levels of springs cushioning their ride.

According to animation historian [[https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/jam-handys-a-case-of-spring-fever-1940/ Jonathan A.

Unusually however, the short makes no overt reference to its sponsor and thus the advertising content is nearly invisible,[[note]]Another well-known cartoon in the series, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ9BiaU7qkI&list=PLEfs1ne5YxVbReXlMtkNI2UGCP1yhf0ny&index=23 Down the Gasoline Trail]]," does this as well, although Chevrolet is acknowledged as a sponsor in the credits.[[/note]] causing ''Spring Fever'' to seem like a weirdly didactic lecture about the virtues of springs.

''[[color:#191970:A Case of Spring Fever]]'' (1940) is an educational short produced by Creator/TheJamHandyOrganization intended and famous for its lampooning on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
Grouchy middle-aged man Gilbert Willoughby, in the middle of repairing his couch, wishes that he'd never see another spring again. His wish is granted by "Coily the Spring Sprite," an animated creature who removes all springs from the world, forcing Gilbert to realize how much of his day-to-day life depends on springs. Gilbert takes back his wish, and spends the rest of the short espousing his newfound appreciation for springs to his decidedly uninterested friends.

This was the only short from the tenth season and the final short ever done on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''... and let it be said that they went out on a high note. And then riffed it again as the short before ''Podcast/RiffTrax Live: Film/{{Sharknado}}''; it was later released as a VOD on the official site.
