* PacManFever: In Episode 2, Dean is seen playing ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1: Deadly Silence'' on a UsefulNotes/NintendoDS with Atari 2600-like sounds.

* UltimateAuthorityMayor: The show depicts local MPs and Parish Councils as having far more power and day-to-day involvement in their districts than they actually do in reality. Although, following a zombie apocalypse, it is likely that some decentralisation of power occurred during the collapse of society.

''In the Flesh'' is a 2013–14 Creator/{{BBC}} series consisting of [[BritishBrevity three episodes]] (Season 1) and six episodes (Season 2); set after a ZombieApocalypse, [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies have changed]] attempting to integrate into a society ravaged by their initial slaughter.

** [[spoiler: LaserGuidedKarma: The Vicar does eventually get his comeuppance after he suffers a heart attack whilst arguing with MP [[BitchInSheepsClothing Maxine Martin]], who callously leaves him to die rather than phone for an ambulance]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Jem has purple hair in Series 1.

* AsTheGoodBookSays: Vicar Oddie and the Undead Prophet are [[NotSoDifferent both]] fond of quoting Bible verses to justify their fundamentalist views.

* BadassGay: Rick, who is "one of the lads" and went off to Afghanistan and earned himself a medal.

* PacManFever: In Episode 2, Dean is seen playing ''ResidentEvil: Deadly Silence'' on a UsefulNotes/NintendoDS with Atari 2600-like sounds.

** Played with by the whole series (it's about [[spoiler: queer zombies]]!) and especially in Series 2 when [[spoiler:Simon takes a bullet for Kieren, but survives since he's already dead]].

** [[spoiler:Simon suffered from chronic depression in life and was a chronic drugs user as a result. He eventually OD'd]].

* IncompatibleOrientation: Amy has a crush on Simon, who's gay. He lets her think that they're dating because he thinks that she needs love. Naturally, she finds out, and in the worst way possible: [[spoiler: she [[InterruptedIntimacy discovers Kieren and Simon passionately kissing]] in public]].

** Averted with Amy, who is implied to have lived [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RaisedByGrandparents with her grandmother]] before her first death, and with Phillip, whose family outside of his mother Shirley is never mentioned.

** Simon, Amy's undead beau who is one of the Twelve Disciples of the Undead Prophet.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: The Undead Liberation Army's main draw is that it seems that they're just trying to speak up for the rights of the Undead and, just like a lot of real terrorist groups, it's hard not to agree at least in part with what they want. Leading to more and more PDF sufferers joining. Thus enabling Victus to clamp down harder on zombies...which just pushes more into the ULA's arms.
