Too fantastical.


* '''Invoked''': The necromancer that created the zombie strain, having seen all the zombie films known to man, is GenreSavvy enough to know that he cannot go for the "classic" type (because either SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs and decomposition will make it useless very fast or because he knows other people are GenreSavvy and will immediately aim for the head).

* '''Implied''': A Public Service Announcement playing on the background on an early scene mentions that practicing your yodeling is essential to your survival. Why something like that would play in the middle of a LockAndLoadMontage full of BFGs and he-men doesn't makes sense... at least at first.

* '''Reconstructed''': Turns out that some of those zombies are ''helpful'' to humanity... or at least as big a nuisance to other zombies as they are to humans. Knowing this helps in raids.

Added DiffLines:

* '''Played For Laughs''': Zombies that cannot be killed with headshot but have their heads explode if they hear yodeling.
* '''Played For Drama''': Zombie Emergency Plan Number 1138 was the one which was BoringButPractical, was tactically flexible for any kind of zombie from Romero's to Boyle's to Kirkman's to Brooks', and people assumed would be the best in case of an actual zombie apocalypse... and then it turned out that the zombies were more like a rotten version of ''Film/TheThing1982''. Instead of it being a CozyApocalypse, humanity is completely blind-sided and extinction is right around the corner... and the people InUniverse are decrying that the films lied to them.
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': TheMovieBuff spends five minutes going through the regular steps to survive a zombie apocalypse, in the style of ''Film/Scream1996''... and two minutes afterwards, the zombies turn out to be able to shoot out their veins like webs to trap people, devour souls and teleport through walls. If he doesn't commits DeathByGenreSavviness, he will spend some time in a HeroicBSOD, mumbling how this isn't like the films.
