It's a spoof of tacky Flash preloaders during the early age of the internet (though the site has since been updated to HTML5). The website offers nothing except its promise that you can do anything at Zombo.com, and - in the original Flash version, if you waited to the very end of the animation - [[ShaggyDogStory a broken newsletter signup link.]]

[[http://zombo.com Zombo.com]] is a website that allows you to do anything.

[[spoiler:It's a spoof of tacky Flash preloaders during the early age of the internet. The website offers nothing except its promise that you can do anything at Zombo.com, and - if you wait to the very end of the animation - [[ShaggyDogStory a broken newsletter signup link.]]]]

Since, as the website states, [[BlatantLies the infinite is possible at Zombo.com,]] it would be impossible to list every trope exhibited by this website (unless the website lets you do that as well), but here are a few:

!! This site provides examples of:
* BeyondTheImpossible: Anything is possible at Zombo.com. The speaker reiterates this several times.
* BlatantLies: Are you ''sure'' it's anything more than some flashy circles?
* CaptainObvious: This is Zombo.com. Welcome to Zombo.com!
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Almost every spoken sentence either welcomes the viewer to Zombo.com or describes how great it is.
* TheElevatorFromIpanema: The background audio during most of the animation is cheesy elevator music.
* FakeInteractivity: Go on, try to "do anything".
* AGodIsYou: ''The only limit is yourself.''
* IceCreamKoan: [[https://archive.is/ltXSN This description]] of the site on its (now barely functional) parent website, 15footstick.com.
-->Zombocom is a portal without a door. There is no opening or closing at Zombocom. There is only the passing of seasons. It is another ring in the tree. It is not only the birds but all of life that moves from winter to spring.
* MagicFromTechnology: A website that lets you do ''anything conceivable'' would need some magic involved.
* ShaggyDogStory: If you sit through the whole animation, [[spoiler:it reveals a signup link to "The [=NewZletter=]"... which the website then informs you is not working right now.]]
