Ah, the ice cream truck. An all-American staple of childhood. But what's this? The truck's driver is a [[Child-Hater]] who's doing this as a front to sell drugs? Or maybe he's a pedophile who can't keep his Mr. Softie in his pants? Or, worse yet, he's an uncaptured serial killer who's keeping the bodies between the fudge pops and the Creamsicles? And his truck is either an [[Alleged Car]] (either played straight or exaggerated), redesigned from a paddy wagon or a discarded military vehicle, or looks as if it was featured on an episode of ''Pimp My Ride''.
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* ''[[Gahan Wilson]]'' has an ice cream man opening the compartment to reveal a truckful of frozen child corpses. "Wrong door!"
== [[Stand
* [[Tim Minchin]] did a routine on the jingles of ice cream vans, referring to them as "[[Black Comedy|the mating call of the kiddy fiddler]]".
{{quote|'''[[Tim Minchin]]:''' Sorry, sorry, that's totally inappropriate. It's awful what I just did there when you think about it; I just made the assumption that having an ice cream van makes you a pedophile. It's awful... It's probably the other way around.}}
== Trading Cards ==
* The Topps trading card series ''Weird Wheels'' had a card titled [http://www.bubblegum-cards.com/Weird-Wheels/imagepages/image52.html Bad Humor Truck].▼
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 101 ⟶ 105:
* In the flash game ''[http://games.adultswim.com/cream-wolf-twitchy-online-game.html Cream Wolf]'', the Ice Cream Truck driver is actually a Werewolf who's fattening kids up so that he can bait them back to his place when full moon arrives and proceed to "Make new flavors" out of them. It's even complete with a creepy jingle during midnight.
* One of the enemies in ''[[Toejam and Earl]]'' is a phantom ice cream truck that randomly appears and disappears and tries to run down our alien heroes.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* From the webcomic ''[[A Softer World]]'' "[http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=223 Scoot Scoot Scoot]"..▼
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 138 ⟶ 145:
* Kenneth Bianchi, one of the Hillside Stranglers, worked as an ice cream man. A suspected victim of his disappeared when she went out one day to buy a cone.
* Fred West, another serial killer, also worked as an ice cream man. While one, he accidentally ran over a kid.
