* Norman, on behalf of and quoting his grandmother, asks his parents to turn up the heater because her feet get cold. When you learn immediately afterwards that she's actually dead, [[ImColdSoCold it comes across as a]] ''[[ImColdSoCold very]]'' [[ImColdSoCold morbid joke.]] No wonder his parents and sister were so startled!

** For that matter, the zombies' arrival in town. First, they see a billboard of a woman with money stuffed between her breasts and groan excitedly. But then they experience Culture Shock and get freaked out by the various stuff in town, gasping each time, such as a drunk couple stumbling out of a pub, a punk spray painting graffiti of a skull on a wall, a man eating a burger in his car and spraying ketchup over the windshield, and finally, a TV flipping through channels, first of a man using a machine gun, then a monster truck rally, a lipstick commercial, a nuclear explosion, a rock star concert, and lastly, ''a kids' show.'' Then, one of the zombies [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screams in a high-pitched voice!]] Part of it makes sense: the zombies are Puritans and are shocked that this home they have started as a place without sin has sex, violence and corruption wherever they look.

* When Mitch gears it, leaving the six [[TheVoiceless voiceless]] zombies (bonus point on one of them coughing) in smoke, and their reaction when they see Judge Hopkins hanging on the speeding van for dear afterlife. It's even funnier when you realize in life the fastest thing they probably ever encountered was a horse drawn carriage, which also explains why [[FridgeBrilliance that one zombie just stood there]], [[FishOutOfTemporalWater staring at the van]] before it ran him over. No wonder the Judge was screaming.

* When the group is trying to get into Town Hall, they all turn to Alvin, assuming that he knows how to pick locks because he's a delinquent.

The fact that he's so proud of this, combined with everyone else's confused stares just sells it. And the cherry on it? The sign board he grabs had a poster for a ''crime prevention seminar''.
