Line 21:
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: more like ''Undead'' Baby Comedy.
* [[Delinquents]]: Lionel meets a group of these while he goes to the cemetery to certify that his zombie mom won't raise from the grave. It doesn't end well for all of them.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: A horrible, infectious disease spread by a nonhuman primate, eh?
* [[Enfant Terrible]]/[[Undead Child]]: Baby Selwyn. Who was conceived ''after'' its parents' zombification and was born apparently about a day later.
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Lionel's mother. She bullies him relentlessly and sabotages his social life. After her zombification, she gets worse.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Deader With Zombies]]
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Uncle Les.
* [[Final Boss]]: Lionel's Mother
Line 35:
* [[Helping Hands]]: when you chop up a zombie, the severed parts still move and attack you, including a complete set of ''bowels''.
** Can't reach the starter for the lawnmower? Just grab a severed arm!
* [[High -Pressure Blood]]: ''Braindead'' is the bloodiest movie of all time, with blood was being pumped at five gallons per second during the lawnmower climax. 'Nuff said.
* [[Homage]]: The explorer foolishly [[King Kong|brings a deadly primate back from Skull Island]].
** [[Shout Out]]: Jackson later gives a [[Shout Out]] to ''Braindead'' in his "King Kong" remake: one of the crates coming back from Skull Island on the expedition ship is labeled "Sumatran Rat Monkey". And below that, the words "BEWARE THE BITE".
Line 49:
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Sort of. Paquita is initially not impressed by Lionel and finds both his presence and clumsy antics annoying... until he accidentally forms a star symbol, which she was previously told would be how to recognize her true love. It's then she gets interested.
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: The last third of the film is a total carnage, and the zombies' severed parts even have a "life" of their own!
* [[MommasMomma's Boy]]: Lionel. Even after she is turned into a zombie, he doesn't kill her and instead confines her in the basement. He remains devoted to her mother until {{spoiler|it's revealed that she drowned his father and his mistress in the bathtub}}.
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Vera, Lionel's mother. Full stop.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Lionel's mom after she received the animal stimulant.}}
* [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]: "''The party's over!''"
** Also, "''I kick arse for the Lord!''"
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: [[Bad Taste|Almost]] [[Meet the Feebles (Film)|everything]]. However, zombie nurse making love with zombie priest and then having a zombie baby is wrong on ''so many'' levels.
