This is a one-episode medical condition that seems to be prevalent in kids' shows. As such, it is played less for drama, and falls more into the category of Very Special Episode. The basic formula for such an episode is thus: The character (usually either a kid or someone sufficiently childlike) has a throat problem that turns out to be tonsillitis. The character angsts about having to have surgery, but is reassured by their loved ones and promised — and this is important — "All the Ice Cream You Can Eat." The operation goes off without a hitch. Whether loved ones actually come through with the ice cream is optional, and if they do, the patient may or may not feel up to eating it. Sub-Trope of Sick Episode. Compare to The Dentist Episode, or the Ruptured Appendix. It used to be very common, since it is usually something that's temporary and doesn't have to make the character Delicate and Sickly for the rest of the season, people usually recover within a week or two. However, it has become something of a Forgotten Trope because since the late 1990s tonsillectomies are done much less frequently than they were in the past, and their effectiveness is debated. Nowadays, wisdom teeth removal is often used in its place. The main difference is that characters getting their wisdom teeth removed tend to be older and there's often more gags about characters acting weird while under anesthesia. This is because patients who've had their wisdom teeth removed can return home before the anesthesia has worn off. Examples |

Even the Fonz caught a case of tonsillitis in the Happy Days episode (with the Pun-Based Title) "Fonsillectomy." What makes that episode all the more jarring is the series Continuity Error. The Tonsil Episode takes place during Halloween, and the previous Halloween special (about Richie not wanting to date a tall girl, and getting advice about honesty from the Fonz) included a story about how when Fonz had to get his tonsils removed AS A CHILD. His Mom tried to pretend they were going someplace fun, but eventually admitted they were going to the hospital because Fonzie was getting suspicious. Not once does this episode mention that Fonz had already had that operation, nor do they include a Hand Wave statement about tonsils growing back. It is simply treated as if it were the first major surgery the Fonz had ever endured. | |

The first episode of Gravedale High (a show about an All-Ghouls School) has Sid the Invisible Kid going to the hospital as he has Tonsillitis. Smart idea from the writers considering that, as an invisible kid, his anatomy is the most human-like of the monster characters other than being invisible. Also because a hospital is perfect for making jokes about the different kids' monster nature (a vampire that goes to the blood bank, a mummy with new bandages, a zombie girl mistaken for a very sick patient, etc). | |

In The Middle, Sue and Axel both get their wisdom teeth removed over spring break. While in their post-anesthesia state, Axel admits he loves Sue. Their brother Brick films this and tries to use it to blackmail them. Sue isn't phased, proud of the fact her brother loves her, but Axel folds. This causes Sue to be upset at the fact her brother doesn't want to admit he loves her. In addition, their mother was hoping to take care of them while they recovered, but that was handled by Sue's friend Brad. This causes her to worry that her kids don't need her. | |

In the Adventures in Wonderland episode "Take My Tonsils... Please!" the Mad Hatter has his tonsils removed. This is an odd episode, as much of it takes place in a realistic hospital without any of the usual Wonderland wackiness, though by the end it reverts to the standard hijinks as the still hoarse-voiced Hatter tries to replace himself with an identical robot to host a TV show. | |

This happens in the first Adrian Mole book, which serves as an illustration of the woeful state of National Health Service hospitals. At the age of fourteen, Adrian suddenly finds out that he has been on the waiting list for a tonsils extraction for nine years, and has had to endure tonsilitis all that time. Grandma and Bert Baxter both tell him they knew someone who bled to death after a tonsils extraction. No ice cream is mentioned, and after the operation, Adrian is in so much pain than he cannot eat anything for several days. | |

The Partridge Family has "Anatomy of a Tonsil." At first Danny is almost excited about the upcoming operation, but after his best friend Punky Lazaar tells him how horrible it was, he worries he won't survive. Afterwards, he finds that his voice is raspy, and he becomes so convinced that he's lost his singing voice that he can't sing even days later when he's fully recovered. | |

xkcd: In "Wisdom Teeth", Cueball joins Megan's Minecraft server so he has something to do while recovering from his wisdom tooth removal. Three days later, Megan joins the server to find that Cueball, while loopy on painkillers, has flattened the entire continent and sorted it into layers by hand. | |

Hey Arnold!: The episode titled "Gerald's Tonsils," in which Gerald's operation leaves his voice permanently deeper and raspier. Enforced, as it was created around the time his voice actor hit puberty, and rather than replace him with another boy (or a woman), they used tonsillitis to explain the deeper voice. Eugene got one by accident in "Eugene's Bike", though he was fine by it as they're an unnecessary pair of organs. He just wished the doctors left his spleen in, though. |

Emergency! has one of the variant ones. Roy had his tonsils out as a kid, but his throat is getting sore a lot. After a lot of denial, one of the doctors confirms they grew back and he'll need another surgery. Johnny brings him a big milkshake at the end of the ep. The trouble is that he's in a room with Chet, who broke his shoulder, and won't shut up. | |

An episode if I Love Lucy dealt with Little Ricky having to get his tonsils taken out, but the focus of the episode was more on Lucy, who couldn't bear to be separated from her son, even for a little bit. | |
