THE FLU From Shaun of the Dead POTENTIAL Origins Explored | How the Virus Spread and Infected 

when you mentioned monkeys made me think of the film Outbreak.

I'm here to start suggesting Death Troopers, a starwars book. I know it's not a movie or game but there is an audio book on RU-vid for it and I hear there is an fan movie in the works

You just wanted an excuse to watch Shaun of the Dead didn't you?

This movie is the best parody horror movie ever made if someone doesn't agree we will have a hard time being friends but everyone deserves opinions

Prey, if you want to review

I like this theory it's shown if you act like a zombie they won't attack, nvr thought of that b4

Wow I never thought of that!

"Shaun lacks the Delta Brain Wave."

@@68Fourty72 ooo futurama reference nice

Like a zombie! I'm glad to be that guy to say the obvious 🥰

Thats the funniest detail I ever heard and it makes it so much funnier

@@stevengosnell7034 there’s a few videos out there detailing all the things in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy.

That is a great detail I never thought of. Thanks for sharing!

I'd say their team still overall has more famous actors. Glad we got to see the B team though.

Yvonnes group had the rest of the cast of spaced in it, I always thought that was the joke

Shawn is actually quite *capable* and he has flashes of brilliance. But Ed and the other satellites are pulling him down. If Ed had died his life would be 100% improved vs about 50%. And judging by Eds behavior Shawn is gonna always be one toothy slip up away from destroying the UK and perhaps the world.

Makes sense man or chick

I don't think Yvonne is Shaun's ex they're just friends from their wilder, younger years. She's supposed to be the complete opposite of Shaun and their group for comedic effect as she mentions just having bought a house and being a grown up, something Shaun hasn't done yet. Shaun just muddles through life whilst she's taken charge of hers but by the end of the film Shaun has found a modicum of success and taken charge.

@@incredibleflameboy No I think they pretended to be a couple to get a cheap flat

@@diddlenfiddle7311 and had nightmares about resident evil?

Who the heck was david

Oh nevermind, Harry potter lol, Roanoke confused me

I mean why not, save mum, kill Philip,get liz and go to the pub and wait for all that to blow over. How’s that for a slice of fried gold But ye, the pub had semi decent defendability but should’ve gone somewhere with fewer entrances

Bro the discussion of the plan where killing philip gets more and more cavalier makes me laugh everytime

and there's a breville out back john can make you a toastie

I remember shaun had to remake the plan everytime he forgot somebody. Classic comedy

@@_Hugh_janus_ Happy Friday

He's the worst. Selfish, mindless, and with zero filter.

aye, but that's still a terrible fate 😢

Ed saved his life though 😂

While this maybe the case, it doesn't mean he deserved the fate he got. At the end of the day, he was still a friend to Shawn throughout the movie.

Lol.

Yeah... that is the only thing that makes her slightly less stupid than David in that scenario.

She hid up a tree until the reinforcements came, having used David's leg as a weapon against the hoarde.

​@@kassassin_brahgawkalso she nibbled on it

@@DrPebis nom nom indeed

Omg I remember that I knew she survived but I forgot how I knew that she lived right it was on the DVD in the animation 😂

True. Never connected with it when I was younger but now that I’m a dad - it hit hard.

Bro when are we gonna start our lives? 🤣

@@RoanokeGaming when they make Shaun of the Dead II, Harry's back.

I was 17 when this came out - same as the kid haha Now obviously older than the old man 😭

@@DazedAlligator oh hush, where's my social security the old folks always told me I'd get haha.

Same. Sigh.. same.

I didn't know that

The guy they run over was also an amputee if you look at his ankles, he has prosthetic legs

Or that Shaun has a red head band and white shirt like Christopher walken in deer hunter lol

Usually zombie films/media are based on a viral infection, one that can alter human behaviour as a means to propagate so biting or feeding on already infected hosts would just lead to the virus dying out.

The only virus that do that is from Days Gone video game, where the adult version of the infected cannibalize small Newt kid infecteds, my theory is that other zombie movies make their virus or parasites recognise each other, and their main purpose is to infect more people rather than eat each other to death

I made up this one story when I was younger sit in 1980s the “zombies” were called bloodies cuz they would rip and tear at each other until they were all bloody the virus acted the same way 28 weeks later virus reacts instant turn time extreme rage and violence to everything I’d had even wrote down that people noticed they would beat against things until they die sometimes

@@herrdoctor2895 still raises questions for example carriers like in left 4 dead they are carrying a live version of the virus and spreading it as they go yet still get attacked by infected who see uninfected as monsters

Not a lot of animals are willing to eat dead and actively putrefying flesh. There's of course some animals that do that and only that, but most animals will see something actively rotting off the bone and go 'eugh. nah'. So zombies may still have that drive.

Romero didn’t even know that the line “we’re coming to get you Barbra!!” Was taken directly from his movies. They said it was a sign of respect.

Wait they were Zombies in Land of the Dead? How did I miss that?

​@@mtnd02.06 Yep, it's when the woman's having her photo taken their the zombies behind her.

Loved the captains death scene it looked so good and painful.

haha just reminded me of their mate tyres who hearts dance beats in every sound and has full on bike lycra on

as a welsh brit as well if you want to a see a zombie all you got to do is stand outside a pub on a friday night lol

That all the movie is about, well kinf of. They are showing that even when people become zombies, nothing really seems to change, even when everything is normal, those who became zombies can still live as if it is normal life

The only issue is they explain what is happening in the world's end

I mean when your diet is made of fried food and narcotics what do they expect people to turn into? I joke but I’ve seen too many good kids turn to the binge drinking and the drugs to self medicate for a society and a culture that failed them on every single level. And yet what are we gonna do about it?

@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus same man

One fo the best

This and Hot Fuzz are firmly in my top five of all time and also movies to bring to an abandoned island

Same this video brings back so many memories, any time we'd end up at my house back when I lived with my mom we would always end up upstairs high and I had Sean of the Dead on DVD, hundreds and hundreds of times we'd put on Sean of the Dead while we smoked, good times 👍

Probably my favorite movie I don't own a copy of (it was my ex's copy).

They do the same thing in Hot Fuzz. Everything Danny asks him like shooting a gun the air going "ahhhh" or firing 2 guns whilst jumping through the air, happens later in the movie.

I'm very sorry to hear your story and I hope that you progress to a pain free and mobile state eventually uu

​@@rco7195 Thank you so much. Yeah its been difficult but I am so glad to be alive. Doctors told my family to expect the worst as they didnt think I would make it.

Man I have mad respect for you, you preserved through some of the worst things I have heard of, you are a truly inspirational person!

​@@JimboTheEngineer Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.❤

Ya pretty much shows the zombies aren't TRULY a threat

@@secretagenttau2233 Yeah most generic slow-walking zombies wouldn't pose a threat to a regular human unless they were in significant numbers. Running/Fast Zombies like in the Dawn of the Dead 2004 or 28 Days/Weeks Later Infected are a much bigger threat. And some traditionally slower zombies can be a major threat, like the T-Virus Zombies from Resident Evil who can progress into much deadlier Crimson Heads and Lickers. Or the Cordecepys/Fungal Zombies from the Last of Us, due to their production of infectious spores and growing into deadlier forms as well.

@@tonts5329 Yeah I'd say any zombie that can only spread via biting and shit could be pretty easily mopped over by the military. Even if they can run, bullets are fucking fast and in great supply. But if it spreads through the air and can infect as easily as the flu (as in someone just needs to breath the same air) I can actually imagine that becoming a very fucked scenario.

That's what I loved about it. Any military that can deal with some isolated cities/infections would absolutely demolish any zombie incident. Nevermind going anywhere in the US with a zombie outbreak. 1 PSA saying: Heya, there's some zambis out and about so you can deal with em how ya want. There'd be way more living casualties than zombie casualties lmao

@@turkeygod6665only exception to that rule I’d say is The Walking Dead zombies cause everyone is infected in that, you’d literally have to shoot everybody on their death beds in that universe to keep the infection from spreading

2000's were a great time

YES! Agreed

@@RoanokeGaming hey can you at some point cover the cryptids from call of duty Ghost extinction mode

Shaun of the Dead, to me, was also the most believable zombie plague movie. If they put it in the USA, Fox News would say the plague is a "far-left myth" until the couldn't, then they would blame the "liberal war on religion" for invoking God's wrath, albeit in newspeak. They'd flame the CDC for their "far-left agenda and propaganda" for talking about the facts, reality, and science that would be in direct opposition of their faux news show. The 700 Club would have its entire fan base and support throw all their money away to make them richer, being the religious network that actively preys on their flock. The entire would start taking military action against the USA as the world super-spreader of the disease because the USA could not stop its nut cases from overwhelming its science, medical, and rational communities. If it happened in Russia, China, or North Korea, the insane propaganda would be the same as it would be in the USA, but it would be mainstream and state funded. However, their governments would also "attack traitors" or "purge ares infected by Western bioweapons" which would be actual quarantining and culling of the infected as military operations. if it happened in India or anywhere near them in the Middle-East, they would react as if their mythical "Rakasha" (if I spelled that right) "returned" and take swift and brutal steps to contain the infection and destroy the Rakasha (the infected). I could go on, but you get the idea. Placing the movie in the UK for a comic thing that's that realistic was golden. Absolutely golden!

British comedies panel shows and tv shows were on fire during this period, ranging from Edgar write to Ricky gervais, peep show never mind the Buzzcocks, it crowd, garth marenghi’s darkplace (little briton to some degree). allot of people pushing the boundary’s of comedy, but all in different ways. Alot wouldn’t be considered ok by todays standards.

Corrupted blood incident? Or just the boring plague made by the forsaken

That was the best part about it!

@@RoanokeGaming glad someone else agrees that CC made a good move with that.

Used to be, I could not watch any zombie film or read zombie media. If I did, ghouls would populate the inside of my eyelids for a week or more. This movie cured that, and made me an afficionado of Zombie horror

I can take a look in the future!

Oh hell yes

@@RoanokeGaming What ever happend to that other last of us video you said you were going to do?

Yes! The fact that it's occult/viral related!!!

@@RoanokeGaming let's gooooo woooooooo

you're not even mentioning half life 2? or actually no i guess that falls under 'and so much more' my mistake original gangsta

Dude thats awesome!

Did your colleague ever recover?

They found a cure? Cool, I thought you still had zombies.

Cool! Which one?

@@Luna_Spiritus bet it was zombie#445

Love em myself!

What about worlds end? I liked that one too

@@neilcairns9531 same, it was pretty fun to watch

@@Haiesta yes, I wish he would make more with his friends. I liked all 3

In the hot fuzz DVD, there's a feature that shows all the inside jokes and it's hilarious how many references there are to famous police movies and even 28 weeks later. One of my personal favorites is that in 28 weeks later the boy at the beginning says he's coming from Sandford which is the fictional village from Hot Fuzz. The village in Hot Fuzz is actually Wells in real life. Another thing I find funny is that I live in Sanford Maine and the town directly nextdoor is Wells Maine.

If its the corrupted blood outbreak, i recall reading that it was analyzed by the cdc to determine how people would react to a pandemic. Which seeing how covid turned out was pretty accurate. It was quarantined somewhat successfully before people started to spread it on purpose or without caring about the quarantine which caused everything to be infected.

@@mikec8086 the CDC and the WHO kinda flip flopped a lot at the start. I remember them saying "it's like the flu, no worries." Then they quickly deleted that. "No don't listen to those fools saying it's just a flu. You need to take this seriously."

@@mikec8086 I still remember the paper carried a disclaimer that trolling spreading the virus deliberately/camping newbies/meant some of the outcome can't be extrapolated to real life turned out to be false.

Then you got the airline toilet licking girl that caught covid doing exactly that lol

All ya gotta do is climb up a tree and eat your boyfriends severed leg while you wait 😂

@@246kisses you ain't wrong 😂

Same actually. I was absolutely terrified of Zombies until after I watched my second one, which was World War Z

Zombies are a terrifying concept

I have it on Blu-ray but I can't watch it because my laptop doesn't have a disc drove

YES

I love their movies, especially this and Paul while Worlds end was pretty cool too

@@Haiesta this and Paul are easily the best 😂 but hot fuzz is a close third

So hot fuzz?

@@Hank_Hill. yeah, hot fuzz too. I don't remember what exactly that one deals with though. I think part of it had to do with taking help from others when you need it. But I'm not sure.

*Shaun. Its in the movies title lol

Same here lol

im about to go get a pint here soon enough! Hope you enjoy it bro!

Covid wasn't really what it was stated to be. It's an amalgamation, nothing about it can develope in nature, as proven by Fauci under admission in court, meaning he effectively lied since the beginning that it was ever natural. There are 51 points that this shows deviations that only aloccur with laboratory modifications.

Masked zombies everywhere

@@FlamespeedyAMVyea it’s funny these bozos make these types of comments yet they where running about with useless flipping masks pretending they where fighting the black plague hahahahaha

"There are Zombies on the Laaawn " 🎶🧟‍♂️💐

Dude this movie apparently had far reaching implications for alot of people which is well deserved

@@RoanokeGaming its definitely one of those movies that almost everyone has seen. Any time this or hot fuzz is brought up everyone's like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have a buddy that does this and its TERRIBLE

It's a love letter to the whole genre, really.

And I appreciate you watching man

Bro my ankles and knees pop now. I remember when 29 was old

Read or listen to the book "this is your brain on parasites".

Scolding seems to he viable 😂

Telling them that biting is not the proper way to greet someone. So they won't bite someone upon meeting them.

@@azurelectrium1100 so greet them first then bite them

@@boxinabox6608 Oh great, now we have vampires!

As British zombies that would actually be pretty effective. Even when dead a true Brit would loathe to be seen as uncouth.

same

Hope I do it justice!

@@RoanokeGaming you always do, your content is top tier!

Definitely a good test. If she doesn't like Shawn of the dead, she likely has no sense of humor and you dodge a red flag... Course, chances are she sends you red flags well before you ever get to movie night...

Naaaah they slow af u would prolly outrun them

Did you see the newer Predator movie, "Prey?" I thought it was really good, like a return to form to the original two, which were my favorite movies along with original Alien. Keep it simple, keep it interesting, etc.

@@furiousapplesack nah but a friend if mine wanted to, I refrained since I didn't like most recent movie, guess I'll give it a watch.

4: love the Halo CE BGM

Bro what is a generator rex???
