* EurekaMoment: Jimmy gets two in this episode. When Carl mentions he likely sweated off his sunscreen, leading to him getting a sunburn, Jimmy realizes the brand Carl uses isn't waterproof and goes to collect some to remove the sunscreen-based cloud. Later when he finds out most of the water in Retroville is frozen, he gets his usual Brain Blast moment and realizes he can use human sweat instead since it doesn't freeze as quickly.


Added DiffLines:

* HumanSacrifice: Early on Sheen suggests sacrificing Jimmy to the giant glacier in order to placate it. Luckily this idea is dropped quickly.
* NoodleIncident: Hugh and his hunting party apparently only see Jimmy and Goddard (mistaking them for a caribou due to low visibility and the fact that Jimmy has his hands up trying to wave at his dad), and lose them in short order. But there must have been a real caribou out there because Hugh is later seen having served up its meat to the Neutron household.

-->'''Jimmy:''' Wha...wait a minute! Sheen, Carl, what are we doing?!\\
'''Sheen:''' Well, I was about to strangle Carl.\\
'''Carl:''' Yeah, and I was gonna slap Sheen in the back of the head.\\
'''Jimmy:''' Look at us, we’re best friends! And ever since we started this band, we've been arguing and fighting! We're so obsessed with becoming rock stars that we've forgotten the real reason we did this: To beat Cindy and Libby!\\
'''All:''' YEAH!

** A few to Music/TheBeatles. The EpisodeTitleCard is stylized to look like the band's logo, Carl impersonates Music/RingoStarr complete with a Scouse accent, CoolShades and bowl cut, and the boys start arguing over their creative differences which is how the band broke up.



** Cindy and Libby's act is a dance routine from ''Riverstomp'', which sounds a lot like ''Theatre/{{Riverdance}}''.

* ExposedToTheElements: The first of many to show Jimmy and the others perfectly fine with wearing short sleeved and sleeveless clothes in cold weather. Cindy averts this as she is shown shivering in her pool and stays there even when it freezes solid and traps her within.

Added DiffLines:

When a heatwave strikes Retroville, Jimmy enhances Carl's sunblock into an SPF-9000 to freeze the sun and make it snow, but it backfires when it turns Retroville into a second ice age.

!! "Jimmy on Ice" provides examples of:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Jimmy doesn't realize until too late that Carl's SPF-50 has a consequence of quantumly enhancing its contents, as told by the warning label on the back of the bottle.
-->'''Jimmy:''' Huh. They ''really'' oughta put something like that in bold print!
* GlacialApocalypse: Jimmy is hoping for a snow day and decides to cool off the atmosphere with a giant bottle of sunblock. After the kids play in the snow for a day, Jimmy wakes up to discover it's -30 degrees Fahrenheit outside and that he caused a second ice age. The adults are leaving to go hunt for meat like they're nomadic cavemen, and the townsfolk think they need to sacrifice Jimmy to stop the snow.
* HeatWave: Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen are suffering from one at the beginning of the episode.
* OhCrap: Jimmy's reaction when he wakes up the following day to see the temperature dropped below normal and he is literally snowed in.

Intent on beating Cindy and Libby in the talent show, Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen start a band complete with musical instruments that play music if the user thinks them. But instead of concentrating on their act, egos soon rise and the boys end up in a heated argument over each other's creative differences.

!! "Battle of the Band" provides examples of:

* ArcWords: From Hugh: "You kids, good luck tonight, and remember, have fun with it."
* BandEpisode: Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen form a band called the "Llama Lords of Science" to compete in the school talent show using instruments that are powered by thought. Initially in it for the fun, the early success of the band goes to their heads and they decide they want to go in their own separate creative directions, leading to infighting. Hugh's repeated advice of "Good luck tonight and remember, have fun with it!" snaps them out of it, but not before they threw out their instruments in frustration, forcing them to improvise with Carl blowing a giant snot bubble to the audience's disgust.
* DissensionRemorse: Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen immediately stop their feud when Hugh comes in to remind them to "have fun with it," realizing they've been so focused on becoming rock stars they forgot about their act and their goal of beating Cindy and Libby in the show.
* FeudEpisode: The very first one between Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen, over their creative differences.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The boys each thinking of a name for their band before Jimmy mixes them together to form "The Llama Lords of Science" is the first sign of their egos beginning to rise after their classmates see them rehearsing.
* GarageBand: The Llama Lords of Science, the band Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen form for the show.
* ShoutOut:
** Jimmy gets the idea to form a band after seeing a poster for Outta Sync, which is akin to Music/{{NSYNC}}.
** The music played by the Llama Lords of Science is to the tune of Music/GreenDay's "Warning".
