Zombie Apocalypse: Difference between revisions

* Blogging example: on 13th June 2007, the blogosphere declared a zombie apocalypse. While [http://myelvesaredifferent.blogspot.com/2007/05/blog-like-its-end-of-world-bliteotw.html this page] contains the biggest list of links, it is no means exhaustive.

* The ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' Public Service Announcement "Planning to Fail" detailed the Zombie Apocalypse survival plans of the main characters

* ''[[The Spider Cliff Mysteries]]'': Spider Cliff has the occasional zombie attack, which are all quickly contained offscreen. Except for Annabelle, the intelligent, intact, friendly zombie.

* Last year Topps released a new card series titled ''Hollywood Zombies'' which features parodies of celebrities as flesh eating zombies.

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' gives a quite elegant and reasonable-looking explanation for why zombies must eat brains (and other organs as well): as dead corpses, zombies are decomposing all the time, but are able to regenerate eaten parts. So if zombies want to keep their intelligence, they simply must eat brains. Or, to put it another way: [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20071219 "To keep our wits about us we need to eat the wits about us."]

** Additionally, the comic also address the issue as to why zombies do not attack other zombies:

** Also worth noting that Sluggy has so far had: straightforward ordinary zombies; people turned into socially dysfunctional geek zombies by brain-eating mosquitos; ghouls from another dimension which were treated with similar tropes to zombies but turned out to be of different origins; military research into weaponising zombies; and a zombie-themed restaurant. Not in that order.

* ''[[Something Positive]]'''s "Kawaii of the Damned" storyline is something of an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the Zombie Apocalypse.

* ''[[The Batman]]'' had a zombie apocalypse in the episode "Strange New World", courtesy of a toxin created by Professor Hugo Strange. It was eventually revealed that {{spoiler|the apocalypse was just an illusion Strange created to trick Batman into releasing the real toxin into Gotham, which Batman figures out at the last moment}}.

* Hilariously subverted in ''[[Invader Zim]]'', where the zombies unleashed by mall cop Slab Rankle in ''FBI Warning of Doom'' prove to be just as stupid as almost everyone else in the show.

** Also played for a [[Noodle Incident]] in ''Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars":

'''Membrane:''' SON! There had better not be any ''walking dead'' up there!<br />

'''Dib:''' It's nothing you need to worry about. ''And I said I was sorry about that!'' }}
