Nazi Zombies/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: A leak sprung up on the internet about a new Zombie map in Black Ops. It showed that one of the new maps had John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Richard Nixon, and Fidel Castro fighting the zombie apocalypse in the Pentagon.
  • Crazy Awesome - The characters are amazing zombie killers... and are batshit insane.
    • Dempsey, for one, laments he can't rip off a zombies arm and beat it to death with it. He escaped from a Japanese prison camp by gnawing through the bamboo cage and killing his captors with a medal of honor he... hid in a very particular spot.
    • Nikolai constantly talks about how he is drunk, and has apparently killed his wives before marrying a new one.
    • Takeo is probably the least batshit insane, but still is completely devoted to killing and improving from that, is not uneased by fighting zombies at all, and has no reservations of the possibility of dying to the zombies. His original bio stated he tattooed the insides of his eyelids with the Japanese for "honor".
    • Richtofen hears voices, has tortured many people to death, and verbally, orgasmically revels in bloodshed against the zombies.He also sounds somewhat high-pitched.
      • His insanity actually has a back story, according to radios and film reels on the Moon. Note to self: do NOT poke objects with an obvious alien origin.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: In addition to the common in-game Crowning moments, in the cut scene right before the map "Five" Zombies bust into the Pentagon with Robert McNamara, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and JFK in it. Everyone starts panicking. But then JFK pushes a button to casually reveal a hidden wall the guns on it, and then says "lock and load". Everyone then grabs a weapon, and prepares to kick some zombie ass.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: A few, triggered by the characters automatic in-game responses

Nikolai:(gunning down zombies) NO! GET AWAY! IT'S MY VODKA! MINE!

  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The Beauty of Annihilation.
    • Abracadavre as well.
    • Let's just say all of the easter egg songs are awesome.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse - What started out as just an extra mode became the real focus of the downloadable content of World at War.
  • Genius Bonus: Loads of them in Five, mostly in the form of Historical In-Joke dialogue.
    • Call of the Dead counts as well, with allusion after allusion after allusion to roles actors have played.
  • Goddamned Bats: The hellhounds. Most servers and custom maps will disable them because of just how hated they are - under-equipped players at round five or so can easily die when the round comes up.
    • The zombies themselves become this at higher rounds due to them getting more health per round.
    • Gas zombies. Not a problem in Kino, where the stage is a great area to hold them off due to being a wide open spot, but Level 3 of the Pentagon is a death trap, thanks to these guys.
    • Space Monkeys that are able to throw your grenades back at you in Ascension. This is made worse if you like to cook your grenades before throwing them. Oh and the round they spawn on force you to defend the Perk-A-Cola machines or you lose the first perk you bought or the other perks that your fellows probably bought first.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The site for the Black Ops zombie mode. Like spiders? HERE YOU GO!
    • This is probably more Paranoia Fuel, but just try playing the game with minimal brightness settings on your game and TV. On top of all of the vision issues, all of the maps get darker and scarier. Especially Verruct.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: So just what does Danny Trejo do after fighting off George Romero. He becomes a drug kingpin named...Romero.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many people bought Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops just to play this game.
  • Mood Whiplash: A lot of the musical easter eggs by Elena Siegman. Often, they change from normal singing to furious screaming in a blink. For example, in "Beauty of Annihilation":

Bring me down... WITH 7.92 AND NOIAAGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • Most Annoying Sound - Samantha's laughter upon getting the Teddy Bear from the random weapon generator (it moves the box to a different location, forcing players to have to wait until there are few zombies to get better weapons). It's actually lampshaded by the characters.
  • Power-Up Letdown: The Death Machine in some Black Ops maps can be this on later rounds when you realize that it doesn't do that much damage and makes you unable to run. And then you realize you can't buy things or revive people when you have it...
