The trick is to remember that tvtropes is an encyclopaedia which is designed to be hard to use, with its practice of hiding simple concepts behind obscure film references. Don’t try to understand any of the articles; just try to learn enough to address whatever led you into there in the first place.
I would worry about what kind of cans you have to keep in a freezer, and what the sudden warming from his body heat and the open door is about to do to them. If we’re still in TV-Tropes mode, think of it as a small version of an Earth-Shattering Kaboom.
A handle to facilitate escape from the Annex One freezer? A better safety feature might be reinforcing the lock and walls with the help of whoever designed the AG-1 drunk tank.
Did one of them at least disarm him of his laser sword by taking it when he was down for the count? So he can’t cut his way out later instead of freezing to death like he should? No? I don’t see anyone holding it, so they probably left it. Pretty sure there’s a trope for that, Idiot Ball maybe.
In the last scene it was lying to the right of the doorway, maybe just outside the swing of the door. In his haste to slam it shut, Walske probably didn’t take note of it. So it is either lying on the floor outside the freezer, in which case the question becomes: who gets to wield it?, or, it got pushed inside by the swinging door and is lying next to the now not-so-melancholy Dane.
Pffffffft
BRB, going to add a few entries to the relevant tropes entry… 😛

Be right back? From a visit to tvtropes? Who are you trying to kid? You’ll be there for hours.

And miss all the FUN?
There’s a reason why I avoid that site, I like to delude myself that I have something resembling a life.
Ah, the only possible method of making him more insufferable.
So it’s true. TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life.
Let me take a moment to advertise my contributions: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/EvilMidnightLurker
Yes, but maybe Gnomes WANT to be forgotten…look at all the trouble that Dwarves and Halflings get into, not to mention the short jokes.
Another Troper? Ha ha, we’re everywhere! And we’ll ruin your webcomic!
Well, Walske’s gonna be occupied for the next four hours, them
This is too meta for me. I think I need to lie down.
Welp, another one for the Lampshading page.
That is not lampshading, that is leaning on the fouth wall.
I hope he played his hand well and did not over trope.
There’s still hope, Mr. The Dane. Figure out how to get out of that freezer.

Some foods blop out of the cans easier when cold; some foods like butter can be hard to handle warm.
I’d feel a lot better about this if they’d clearly gotten the lightsaber off of him….
Those last few lines were pretty final, but do they at least know if there’s a handle on the inside?

Yeah, you’re right. Any facility with a Department of Irradiating Things clearly isn’t subject to any stuffy old OSHA rules.

He would have gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those meddling scientists and their little zombies!
The Dane should have known better then to violate rule #24. ^_^

And the Dane proves the Evil Overlord List. Once you state your invincibility, defeat is pretty much instantaneous.
