So you have a character who's famous in-universe, or a popular show-within-a-show. For sake of example: ''The Alice and Bob Show''. What better way to show off that fame and popularity? ''Alice and Bob On Ice''! When you've got your own ice show, you've officially made it to the big time.

Like many [[Show Within a Show|Shows within Shows]], an in-universe [[Ice Show]] may be rife with [[Adaptation Decay]] and [[Stylistic Suck]]. There also tends to be a high level of [[Camp]].

So you have a character who's famous in-universe, or a popular show-within-a-show. For sake of example: The Alice and Bob Show. What better way to show off that fame and popularity? Alice and Bob On Ice! When you've got your own ice show, you've officially made it to the big time.

Like many Shows within Shows, an in-universe Ice Show may be rife with Adaptation Decay and Stylistic Suck. There also tends to be a high level of Camp.

Not related to metamphetamine. Sub-Trope of Recycled in Space.
