* LoserProtagonist: He's a bit of a slacker, is in a rocky relationship with his current girlfriend, and is stuck in a dead-end job where none of the younger employees have any respect for him. To his credit, he isn't as much of a loser as Ed, whose only source of income is occasionally selling weed.

** JerkassHasAPoint: Seemingly invoked deliberately. It's clear that he's correct in that Shaun's plan isn't very well thought-out, and his ultimate goal amounts to little more to sitting around and waiting for rescue. However, considering that he himself rarely has anything to offer but unhelpful snark, and that he just makes things worse on the rare occasions when he actually tries to do something, it's clear that he's RightForTheWrongReasons, his criticisms of Shaun's plans being more out of personal dislike for Shaun than him actually having any idea of what to do, keeping him from being remotely sympathetic. Even when he's right and is actually ready to do something about it (when he was ready to shoot the now-dead Barbara before she could revive as a zombie), he can't do it without being a complete twat about it, and he ultimately wimps out and makes Shaun do it.

Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: What exactly made the Winchester any safer than Liz's apartment? While it's got big heavy doors and a rifle on the wall and Ed knows where all the exits are (and he can smoke), they actually probably ''would'' have been safer in the apartment, because the window was above ground level (Shaun himself could climb up to it, but he wasn't a zombie) and you couldn't even get into the building without being buzzed in. Even if the zombies somehow got in through that door, they could have barricaded the apartment door fairly easily. But they also wouldn't have had half so much booze.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: He takes this to new levels and plays it for laughs. The characters need to get past a horde of zombies, and do so by acting like zombies to avoid drawing attention. When they are nearly to apparent safety, his phone goes off... ''and he answers it and starts cheerfully talking on the phone, less than ten feet from dozens of zombies.'' Previously, he had "accidentally" crashed their first car, giving him an excuse to drive a Jaguar instead. Following after the cellphone incident, the electricity comes back on and he starts playing a pub fruit machine, which draw the attention of a zombie in the same building as them.


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Standing ''right in front of the pub window'', seconds before he gets eaten]].
