** Also avoided i guess, with Wichita and Little Rock, who turn on lights and fanfare inadvertently attracting zombies, purposefully crash their truck, strap into a ride to momentarily escape zombies, then destroy the controls to the ride stranding themselves for zombie food.

* AsHimself: Bill Murray.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: During Tallahassee's {{squee}} at Bill Murray, he accidentally says that he wanked off to him.

** Bill Murray's mansion, supposedly in Hollywood? That is in fact [[http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/490-West-Paces-Ferry-Rd-Nw_Atlanta_GA_30305_1113032606 490 West Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, GA]].

* CelebritySurvivor: Bill Murray.

* GilliganCut: Bill Murray's idea of "West Coast hospitality". What comes after ''that'' just makes it funnier.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Bill Murray is surprisingly chill for a guy who just took a shotgun to the chest. [[spoiler:He ''had'' just smoked a bunch of weed with Wichita and Tallahassee]].

Nobody in the movie goes by their real name except for Bill Murray and Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker, which we can assume is her name because no-one would ''choose'' to go by that.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The entire cast, with the exceptions of Bill Murray and Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker. Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock are their intended destinations. [[spoiler:Wichita's name is later revealed to be Krista.]] 406 is also referred to just by her apartment number, and she refers to Columbus the same way.

* [[{{Ptitlezt06x76c}} Pretend We're Dead]]: Bill Murray does this so that he can play golf, and he uses his disguise to scare and play around with the other characters. [[spoiler:It works a little too well, though -- Columbus mistakes him for a real zombie and shoots him.]]

** Bill Murray regretting he ever did ''{{Garfield}}''.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: The film climaxes inside one of these.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The pistol that Wichita drew on Tallahassee in the SUV seemed to just disappear once the girls got to Pacific Playland. [[SarcasmMode Could have come in handy when the girls were on that ride, zombies were climbing up at them and they ran out of rounds for their longarms.]]

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Act generally like other fast, plague-bearing zombies, but it appears these zombies are actually technically still alive. This makes them easier to do away with than zombies in most media since even non-headshots are sufficient. They do still appear more resilient than normal people though.
** Probably only in the sense that they don't register pain anymore.

*** This bit is just a case of the creators [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief trusting the audience to roll with it]] - that sequence is ''riddled'' with continuity errors: Look closely and you'll see that he starts out with a 1911 and a P226, then midway through the fight the Sig changes into a P228, and by the end of it he's dual-wielding two 1911s. The whole scene [[RuleOfCool looked cool]], so nobody cares.
**** [[FridgeBrilliance Surely having]] [[ThrowawayGuns more than two guns on hand]] [[CrazyPrepared would be perfectly in character for Tallahassee.]]

**** [[FridgeBrilliance Surely having]] [[ThrowawayWeapons more than two guns on hand]] [[CrazyPrepared would be perfectly in character for Tallahassee.]]

** He does it later to [[spoiler:Bill Murray]].

* ManlyManAndSensitiveGuy: Tallahassee and Columbus respectively.

** [[spoiler:One of the {{Ghostbusters}}]] is reduced to hiding from zombies.
** Crossing over with Hilarious In Hindsight, [[TheSocialNetwork Mark Zuckerberg]] no longer has to deal with the site he invented.

->''My mama always told me, 'Someday, you'll be good at somethin'.' Who'd'a guessed that would been zombie killin'?''\\

->''My mother always told me, 'Someday, you'll be good at somethin'.' I didn't think that thing woulda been zombie killin'.''\\

-->'''Tallahassee:''' [[CompletelyMissingThePoint That's right! One for the big bitch, and one for the little bitch!]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: Tallahassee in the souvenir shack. His guns are a 1911 (7 rounds) and a Sig P228 (13 rounds). He sets two spare magazines for each weapon on a nearby table so he can slam the guns onto them to reload. That is exactly 60 rounds. And what appeared to be around 60 zombies. He has ''zero'' margin for error, and is surrounded on all sides, and [[spoiler:he ''slaughters them all'']].\\
\\
Before that he managed to achieve a [[TheLastStarfighter Death Blossom]] with an SUV and a machine gun by doing donuts in the fairway while firing out the window.

* ShootTheDog: Wichita asks Tallahassee and Columbus to perform a MercyKill on her infected sister, Little Rock, when she stops them, and insists that she be the one to do the deed. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope She then promptly turns the gun on the two men so that she and her NOT-infected sister can steal their weapons and vehicle]].]]

[[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope She then promptly turns the gun on the two men so that she and her NOT-infected sister can steal their weapons and vehicle]].]]

* OmegaCast: The only living humans we see are the four main characters and Cynthia Knickerbocker. [[spoiler:Bill Murray dies, remember?]]

* MomentKiller: [[spoiler:Columbus and Wichita had an almost kiss and then Tallahasee comes in to ask for help moving the couch [[CrowningMomentOfFunny so he can build a fort]].]]

* CombatPragmatist: Columbus, with his BoringButPractical approach to killing zombies ("Double Tap") and his strict list of rules for survival. Also Tallahassee for whom, just about anything can serve as a melee weapon be it chainsaw, hedge clippers or a freeakin' banjo.

** [[spoiler:406]] can still stagger even after Columbus ''after he broke her whole foot''.

** [[Bill Murray regretting he ever did ''{{Garfield}}''.
