Added DiffLines:

** In this setting, undeath has no effect on the zombified characters' minds, so after a brief adjustment period, Zach remains as friendly and affable as he was while alive.

I added a parody section

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Zombies that are friendly.
* '''Straight''': Zach the zombie lives in the neighborhood and is a pretty nice guy to be around.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Zombies are AlwaysLawfulGood. Even the most horrible people can be infected with TheVirus, and they'll come out as nice people.
** Zach is an AllLovingHero. Besides the occasional staggering gait and green skin, you might not even be able to tell he ''is'' a zombie.
* '''Downplayed''': Zach is mostly a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* '''Justified''':
** [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Zombies in this setting don't have to eat people, and retain their minds]], so it makes sense that a zombie could be a good person.
** Zach was a good guy even before becoming a zombie, and stayed as one through HeroicWillpower.
* '''Inverted''': Evil zombies.
* '''Subverted''': Zach only ''seems'' to be nice... he's actually TheMole, and was only trying to be friendly in order to infiltrate the heroes and infect them.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Which was a rumor that someone made up. Zach isn't actually evil.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''':
** Whether or not zombies are friendly seems to depend on the individual.
** Zach is in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.
* '''Averted''': There are no zombies.
* '''Enforced''':
** The work involves [[MonsterMash multiple friendly monsters getting together]], might as well add a nice zombie or two.
** [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Zombies are cool]], but it's a family show, so no violence is allowed to be shown.
** The show's creators want to subvert common expectations of zombies by having them be friendly.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Zach falls victim to TranshumanTreachery after being a zombie.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Played for Laughs''': Zach is subject to AmusingInjuries due to having his limbs randomly fall off.
* '''Played for Drama''':
** Zach really ''is'' a good zombie, but everyone else finds it hard to believe he is, and is worried of what will happen if people find out he's one.
** Zach wants to be a good person, but he's having a hard time resisting his HorrorHunger.
