* ParanoiaFuel: There's a lot in this film. Firstly, your body is made up of millions of fully conscious Cell 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 brain and make you say and do things beyond your control. Finally, [[TruthInTelevision any virus you've ever contracted although you no longer show the symptoms is still in your body]]; watching, waiting...
** Nope. Most viruses don't go "latent" in the body - they're summarily ejected. When you get over the flu, that flu virus is gone for good (since you are now immune to it). The two exceptions are retroviruses (HIV is the best known one) and herpesviruses (chicken pox, cold sores, etc.) The herpesviruses are so ubiquitous, they'd probably end up citizens of the body, albeit somewhat '''sketchy''' ones...

* CompleteMonster: Thrax is a sinister virus obsessed with fame and breaking records in the medical books. To this end, Thrax infiltrates humans and sees how fast he can murder them. Upon arriving in the human Frank, in whose body most of the film takes place, Thrax sets about gruesomely murdering whoever crosses his path, while making Frank sicker and sicker. This has the benefit of killing not only Frank, but every being living within him. Thrax even threatens the titular protagonist, Osmosis Jones, that after Frank is dead, Thrax will gladly go and [[WouldHurtAChild break his new record on Frank's young daughter.]]

* 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.
** 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 ''trillions'' of lives. Thrax has absolutely no problem knowingly killing what would amount to much more than the entire world's population for no real reason other than his own ego...

* 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 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...
** I'm pretty sure a health nut would be more likely to ''not eat an egg that was in a monkey's mouth''. Or actually visit a doctor when he feels himself weakening.
** Maybe if Fran had taken better care of his body, his cells could've caught and illed Thrax more easily and wouldn't have had to resort to the miracle rescue. Notice there were several times that Thrax could've been caught if the white blood cells and the Mayor had been more competent.



* OmnicidalManiac: Thrax. Again, the dude is effectively killing a world for no reason than to satiate his own ego.
