History Recap / LoveDeathAndRobotsIceAge

* MedievalPrehistory: The trope is lampshaded by Gail but it soon turns out not to be an example; due to NarniaTime the mammoth they discovered a minute ago is already ancient history to the medieval city they're looking at.

** At the end, when the whole history of the freezer civilization starts again, apes, probably australopithecines, are shown alongside some dinosaurs, despite in reality evolving millions of years after the extinction of all non-avian-dinosaurs.
** Also, American XXth century cities are not built over European medieval cities sites.
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Not that this should be the first thing you question about the situation, though.]]

* OneMillionBC: After the fridge is unplugged and thawed out, it becomes home to primitive, ''Australopithecus''-like apemen sharing a tropical landscape with scaly dinosaurs.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The only short that has a (single) set and actors in it.

* TheyDontMakeThemLikeTheyUsedTo: Rob talks about how the old freezer's design, with the engine on top, is actually a lot more efficient than modern designs with the engine at the bottom, since it doesn't have to work against itself when cooling food.

* DullSurprise: Gail and Rob are surprisingly blase about discovering a miniature civilization in an old fridge, a discovery that would have most questioning the entirety of existence.
-->'''Rob''': Huh!\\
'''Gail''': Yeah.

** At the end, when the whole history of the freezer civilization starts again, apes, probably australopithecines, are shown alongside some dinosaurs, despite in reality evolving millions of years after the exitinction of all non-avian-dinosaurs.

* HereWeGoAgain: After the entire civilization vanishes in a flash of light, either having teleported away or evolved into energy, the couple leaves the fridge unplugged for the night. When they check on it the next morning, the ice has melted and early homonids have evolved, hinting the whole thing is going to play out again.

* {{Lilliputians}}: A refrigerator's icebox is home to a civilization (at least one city; the presence of additional areas is hinted by the nuclear war but never shown) of minuscule people and accompanying wildlife, scaled so that a mammoth is the size of an insect. The medieval stage shows them as "mining" a pile of frozen Brussel sprouts for food, lifting them off one a time with a wooden cranes.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The micro-people do this at the end of their civilization.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: When the whole history of the freezer civilization starts again, apes, probably australopithecines, are shown alongside some dinosaurs, despite in reality evolving millions of years after the exitinction of all non-avian-dinosaurs. Lampshaded by Gail, who objects to prehistoric mammoths appearing long after they should.

-->'''Rob''': Huh!
-->'''Gail''': Yeah.

* ItCameFromTheFridge: A whole civilization develops in the fridge.
* TheSingularity: The fridge civilization experiences this, eventually turning into EnergyBeings and coalescing into a literal singularity that vanishes.

* YearInsideHourOutside: Time inside the fridge moves centuries for every few minutes on the outside.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: When the whole history of the freezer civilization starts again, apes, probably australopithecines, are shown alongside some dinosaurs, despite in reality evolving millions of years after the exitinction of all non-avian-dinosaurs.
