==Trivia== | |||
* In Japanese and Chinese language, a "cold" joke is often used to refer to a joke that has no punchline, or one that fails to get a laugh from its audience. An unamused audience may remark that the room is suddenly cold. A similar joke in the English language is to pretend to only hear crickets respond to a bad joke. An exaggeration of this response in media, particularly in comedies, is to have the room literally become cold as a result of a bad joke. This is why this move creates a snowstorm, and why the user leaves the battlefield, presumably ashamed of its terrible joke. | |||
