** While seeing big name guest stars suffer DeathByCameo is pretty funny, some fans wish that said guest stars had at least gotten a whole episode and some comedic moments instead of a single scene and line apiece. Admiral Roy can feel particularly wasted given how, in addition to being played by Creator/JackBlack, he is the first government survivor to appear in the show and has implied nautical skills in an episode with sailing.

** Pat is a TriggerHappy CrazySurvivalist whose status as a MadeOfIron KnightOfCerebus makes him hard to forget.
** The masked bunker people from the last two episodes stand around ominously while even more ominous music plays, but the way they climb out of their bunker while wearing hazmat masks and their group has more survivors than everyone else from before then put together make their eeriness appealing and neat.

** Both the cow the group find in season 1 and the calf it gives birth to in season 2 are popular for having some good comic relief moments and having some HopeBringer moments as rare surviving animals. [[spoiler:Many people hope that the calf somehow escaped the nuclear meltdown radius after being forgotten in season 3]].
** The DeathByCameo characters played by Creator/JackBlack, Creator/JonHamm, and Creator/WillFerrell all made decent impressions on the fanbase (with many people wishing they'd had bigger roles) due to lasting just long enough to establish some interesting personality hints and having a bit of pathos to their fates.

** Seafaring CrazySurvivalist Pat, GildedCage bunker survivor Pamela, and imprisoned ReluctantMonster Karl all have their antagonistic moments and their combined number of episodes aren’t enough to fill a season, but all are seen as delightfully colorful and able to rival or surpass the main cast in entertainment value.
** Martinez, the prison guard played by Creator/GeoffreyRivas, only appears in one WholeEpisodeFlashback, but makes a good impression for being a warm-hearted but pragmatic ReasonableAuthorityFigure who treats the only other survivor at his prison (SerialKiller Karl) nicely but is ProperlyParanoid about the dangers of letting a murderer out into the world.

** It gets so much worse in the second season. [[spoiler: Some worms that were sent up all die off, leaving him without a companion. He hears a voice calling him from the radio, but it turns out to be the signals that he sent out earlier. He starts huffing drugs. Finally, he ends up trying to commit suicide by ejecting himself from the spaceship. Just as he does so, he sees a new worm in the storage container. He tries to abort the ejection, but it doesn't work. By the end of "Secret Santa", he's stuck in space.]]
