  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Cquote1

 Officer: I pulled you over for riding a — riding a — what's that thing?

Jingle: This is Vixen.

Officer: Riding a Vixen the wrong way down a one-way street.

Cquote2
  • Anticlimax Boss: After being hyped up as as the Dreaded, Mother Nature is simply a Reasonable Authority Figure who forces the Misers to cooperate. Though the special does hint that she is a Beware the Nice Ones Humanoid Abomination.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming / Tear Jerker: The "Blue Christmas" sequence, anyone? Seeing all the children of the world banding together to tell Santa that they love him and cannot fathom Christmas without him simply had to melt a few hearts.
  • Ear Worm: Both of the Misers' Image Songs:
    • "I'm Mr. White Christmas! I'm Mr. Snow!/ I'm Mr. Icicle! I'm Mr. 10 below! / Friends call me Snow Miser — whatever I touch / Turns to snow in my clutch! / I'm too much!"
    • "I'm Mr. Green Christmas! I'm Mr. Sun! / I'm Mr. Heat Blister! I'm Mr. 101! / They call me Heat Miser — whatever I touch / Starts to melt in my clutch! / I'm too much!"
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: The Miser brothers, which led to them getting their own special several decades later.
  • Epileptic Trees: Given that Snow Miser never wants to go above 50 degrees and Heat Miser never wants to go below, is there a third Miser out there who represents the temperate zone?
  • Evil Is Cool: See "Ensemble Darkhorse" above
  • Jerkass Woobie: Heat Miser isn't exactly evil but the fact that he says "They call me Heat Miser" instead of mirroring his brother's "Friends call me Snow Miser", and the implications therein, has made him rather sympathetic in the internet's eyes.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: After seeing it the first time, the real reason you'll see it again is because of the Miser brothers.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Somewhat stronger than mere implications: despite just finishing an entire musical number about the idea, Mrs. Claus abandons her initial plan to substitute for Santa simply because Jingle and Jangle recognized her — when she wasn't wearing anything that counted as a disguise. She then hands over almost all plot advancement to male characters — at least until it comes time to talk to Mother Nature.
