Go To

Basic Trope: Snow that is yellow and if not actually, usually is thought or implied to be a result of Urine Trouble.

  • Straight: Alice, The Ditz, eats some yellow snow and has an I Ate WHAT?! moment when she realises or is told by Bob that it's Fido the dog's urine.
  • Exaggerated: All the snow is yellow as a result of Fido peeing on it, causing a massive freakout.
  • Downplayed: Alice eats a tiny bit of yellow snow.
  • Justified: Fido is marking his territory or having a Potty Emergency in the snow and Alice doesn't see him peeing.
  • Inverted: Alice is an alien, and on her planet dogs pee white. She is grossed out when she sees Bob eating white snow.
  • Subverted: It turns out to be lemonade-flavored.
  • Double Subverted: But some other yellow snow that Bob ate was pee.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Averted: None of the snow, if there is any, is yellow, whether to do with pee or not.
  • Zigzagged: A lot of snow is made yellow, and Alice and Bob can't think of a safe way to find out which yellow snow is Fido's pee and which is the lemonade that Alice spilt.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "Never eat yellow snow!"
  • Invoked: Bob deliberately makes Fido pee on the snow to make it yellow.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Fido refuses to pee on snow.
  • Discussed: "Is that pee on the snow?"
  • Conversed: "I hate the yellow snow joke".
  • Implied: The snow is yellow, but it is never proven whether it was because of pee or not.
  • Deconstructed: ???
  • Reconstructed: ???
  • Played for Laughs: Toilet Humor.
  • Played for Drama: Alice gets a serious disease from eating the snow that Fido peed on.
