* The moment when [[TheLittlestCancerPatient The Littlest AIDS Patient]] is dodged by zombies has a dark kind of humour, as he watches the zombies swarm for him, then break aside. It's like the movie's saying, "What's more evil than zombies? AIDS!"

* After one of Raj-Sing's subordinates witnesses his HeroicSacrifice and celebrates that the Himalayan safe zone was genuinely safe: "Then he whipped out his penis and peed in my face." Right after a lone monkey watches him, contemplating, stoically, almost thankfully on Raj-Sing's sacrifice, or so the subordinate thinks before he's weed on.

The father - normally quiet and docile - suddenly erupts with anger, beating Saladin viciously for even considering such a thought.

**[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The descriptions of the celebrities in question]] (most notably [[ParisHilton "that little rich, spoiled, tired-looking whore who was just famous for being a rich, spoiled, tired-looking whore"]]).
** Then there's the show itself, consisting of the celebs reacting to footage being aired by the news. One guy on the TV [[BatterUp straps a meat cleaver to a hockey stick]] and roller-blades down the street looking for zombies to kill, only for one to come out of a sewer drain and [[TooDumbToLive drag him in by his ponytail.]]

---> ''I met the whore's rat dog as we were both heading for the back door. He looked at me, I looked at him. If it'd been a conversation, it probably woulda gone like, "What about your master?" "What about yours?" "Fuck 'em."''

Given that he finally has a chance to catch his breath, and is near a distraction he'll need anyway, it's funny in its humanness that he opts to drink one before carrying on.
