* BrokenAesop: Frank's constantly getting called on his poor nutrition and refusal to exercise, and at the end, we see that his whole ordeal with Thrax has [[ScareEmStraight convinced him to turn his life around]]. Just to get the point across, the last shot of the movie shows him going on a hike and eating a carrot stick. The intended "Be Healthy! Live Longer!" Aesop seems to fit...but Frank's unhealthy diet and lack of exercise had absolutely nothing to got to do with his brush with death. He got infected because he ate a dirty egg that happened to be covered with lethal bacteria. Theoretically, the same thing could have happened to a health nut. Granted, Frank's eating habits ''are'' atrocious, but he never suffers any of the expected consequences of them like heart problems, diabetes, or malnutrition. [[HollywoodPudgy Hell, he isn't even particularly fat...]]

** But the message can be seen as being about the nutritional content, not total calories, of the food he eats. That combined with his lack of exercise would lead to weakening his immune system, which combined with his indiscriminate eating habits...

* CompleteMonster: By the standards of the characters, and in the scope of the film, Thrax certainly qualifies... he wants to simply destroy Frank.
** For the sole reason of beating his previous kill times, mind you.

-->'''Drix''': Um, [Mayor]? If it's all the same to you, I think I'll stay with Jones.



* NightmareFuel: Thrax.
** To this very mild germaphobe, ''Frank''. Yes, more than the actual germs.
** This troper is not particularly germaphobic now, but seeing this film was the cause of most of her childhood nightmares. Certainly worked as a cleanliness [[AnAesop aesop]].
** As a past sufferer of ingrowing toenails, this troper was understandably unnerved by that part. Hopefully, now that Frank's got a new mayor, he'll get that sorted out soon.



* {{Squick}}: Frank picks up a hardboiled egg and eats it. What makes this Squick? The egg has been on the ground in a filthy chimpanzee cage, and before that it was IN THE CHIMP'S MOUTH. Maybe all his unhealthy habits were affecting his brain?

* YourMileageMayVary: Whether you really care if Frank lives. He's pretty much a total jerk to Shane throughout the whole movie, except for the last 30 seconds or so.
** The film itself is pretty divided critically and viewership wise. Is it a slick SaltAndPepper movie with an interesting twist? Or is it just a weird and [[GrossOutShow disgusting]]? You decide.

Unless you were using the long number scale (and you weren\'t as you referenced the world\'s population), there are trillions, not billions, of cells in the human body. Also, viruses are not cells.


** And keep this in mind. From a human perspective, only one life is lost when a human dies. From the perspective of the series? Nearly every cell in your entire body is a sentient living being, that's ''billions'' of lives. Thrax has absolutely no problem knowingly killing what would amount to the entire world's population for no real reason other than his own ego...

** Kind of makes sense. Viruses are one of the few types of cells that can't reproduce asexually. Though how they go about reproducing is kind of NightmareFuel.

* ParanoiaFuel: There's a lot in this film. Firstly, your body is made up of millions of fully conscious individuals; talking, crying, and living their millions of lives within you as you live about yours. Every time you cut yourself and blood drips out, that's a couple thousand people ''dying''! Also, related to the FridgeHorror, your Mayor (with approval from City Counsel) has the ability to take over your body and make you say and do things beyond your control.
