* Basically the entire movie riffs on how the English would deal with an apocalypse. Namely, under reacting to everything while making cups of tea, closeting themselves in the pub, using ineffective improv weapons and hiding zombie bites with the excuse of [[BritishStuffiness not wanting to]] [[StiffUpperLip make a fuss]].

** When they all impersonate Bill Nighy. "Let's all get into our 'jamas, and out of our normal clothes!" and "Sean, be a man..."
** "I'd like 140 Frappawappas, please! And 50 raspberry things!"
** "I was eatin' a cake and a cow stood on my foot..."
** "The woman who has just lost her son. It's good, but what if ''I'' cry?"

** This troper went to a screening of all three ''Cornetto Trilogy'' movies, and at the start of ''Shaun'', Wright told the audience to clap every time "fuck" was said. By Pete's speech, the whole theatre was applauding.
