Nice try, but you failed to use the correct taxonomic terms for them

Via the incredible scientific journal that is uncyclopedia

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Zombies#Zombie_Physiology


"There are several varieties of the typical garden variety zombie. Depending on what caused the people to become zombies, they may show different varieties of physical and mental strength.

Slow-Dumb Zombie
These zombies are the easiest to defeat. They are unable to move quickly, and are not smart enough to do anything other than walk(actually, shamble) towards the nearest human they can detect. What causes these zombies to form is disputed, but leading authorities in zombification literature believes that it is caused by a waterborne bacteria and/or virus. These zombies are the easiest to deal with because they are so predictable and slow. Most of the time, you could survive an attack by them simply by walking away somewhat quickly. The only time you may really need to destroy these zombies is if you are really bored.

For more fun regarding Slow-Dumb zombies, view the film Shaun of the Dead.

Fast-Dumb Zombie
These are somewhat trickier. While they still just go in a straight line towards you, they are able to run like freaking triathletes. These zombies are caused by, what scientists call, "Mysterious Forces" that randomly beset people and cause them to desire eating human flesh (esp. Brains.) See the great documentary, "Dawn of the Dead" for information on this type of zombie.

To defeat zombies such as this, get to a high place, block any easy entraces, and open fire with a semi-automatic rifle or carbine. Or throw rocks if you want it to last a while.

Slow-Smart Zombie
These zombies are unable to move quickly, but are smart enough to use weapons and hide in wait until you are vulnerable to attack. These zombies can be really tricky. These zombies are created by hellspawn that crawl out of some portal that opens up when humanity meddles in things it cannot comprehend, and the punishment is dire indeed. For a good idea of how to deal with these zombies, see the fine computer simulation, "Doom".

Fast-Smart Zombie
These zombies suck. Although they are the rarest kind of zombie, the destruction and death they cause is complete. These zombies are undoubtably caused by Zombie Jesus urinating on a dead human body. If your town is beseiged by fast smart zombies, get a gun, and kill yourself. Unless you want to be a zombie, then you should simply find the nearest neighborhood zombie group (zombies ALWAYS travel in groups) and run at them, waving your arms above your head in the signal for "I like watermelon" and screaming the words "I DRIVE A FRICKIN' ZAMBONI", which is proven to attract the living dead.

Awesome Zombie
First appearing in the children's story Hellsing, these are known to be the perfection of the zombie art, combining the most ideal characteristics of the previous four types and perfecting them to create the ultimate zombies.. They are very similar to Slow-Dumb Zombies, except they actually have leaders, such as traveling tourists. Usually riding tour-buses, Awesome Zombies are equipped with shields, huge-ass guns, armor, helmets, and gas masks. Why they need gas masks is a debate that has spawned countless wars, including the one in which they had been invented. Their shields are painted with various inspirational slogans, such as "boo-doo peo-ple mur-der peo-ple," and they are known to imitate various military formations. Besides that, little is known about them, since only one battalion of them has ever existed, and they were all destroyed by a butler immediately after their first experience in combat.

For more information regarding smart zombies in general, consult the film Land of the Dead.

OH S***!!! Zombie
As depicted in the Return of the Living Dead documentaries, these zombies are impervious to just about everything. Damaging the brain won't slow them down at all. Decapitating them just means you now have a zombie head and a zombie body both coming after you. They also seem to posses a certain level of intelligence and a variety of speeds.

While burning them destroys the zombies themselves, it also guarantees the ashes from the zombies will infect something else and make that into a zombie.

If these type of zombies are encountered ... well, you're screwed. Nice knowing ya'."

Techincally, the thing possessing the body is a demon, but the body itself is a zombie.

It's called a joke. I was saying that he had not researched the specific terms that zombies are called by, (like calling the the wolf 'that big hairy quadriped' as opposed to Canis lupis or a wolf) and refered the uncyclopedia as a scientific journal, and a definitive guide.

Why is that, neither in real life or while typing, no one gets my jokes?

The Romero zombies are bad enough - I don't need them running around like in the Dawn Of The Dead remake or 28 Days Later...
Hell, Shawn Of The Dead was pretty much how I'd like my zombie apocalypse to go down.

AGH! DAMNIT! That was the one! 28 Day Later Zombies! I was even thinking about them while writing my list! But I forgot them by the time I actually was writing it.
Not bad

Voodoo zombies, because they are the only real ones and I like the way voodoo sounds.

Although...I never thought of egyptian mummies as zombies until I read the poll, but I seenow that mummies are certainly zombies, and every bit as good as voodoo zombies. Except they dont have "voodoo" anywhere in their name, so definitely voodoo zombies are the best.

28 Day Later Zombies are Fast dumb zombies.

The Zombies I hate.

The kind that are not only smart, they plot both to take over the world while at the same time create Frankeinstien like monsters, fly helicopters, and infect the people who were supposed to save you. (They Hunger was hard!)

Slow dumb zombies are fun though.

Don't sweat it - besides, those are definitely my least favorite zombies!

I second that! Nasty buggers... Especially when you consider how fast the infection spreads. Sucks big time!

I - like you - prefer the slow & dumb kind. Slomb Zombies are the best!

Yeah, the 28 days zombies were the first that were actually scary. They were fast and really violent. Slow dumb zombies you can punch in the face and run, with 28 days zombies, you just run and hope you are in really good shape.

What about They Live. I know those were actually aliens, but they looked like zombies.

I like the zombies in Area-51, they can use guns. But they arent really zombies just people infected with this virus. The virus makes you all skinny, makes you become radio active and your eyes glow green. Those ones are cool:p


There are pics of them, in hear, look for the bulky things with glowing green eyes....http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/frame_lead.php?pid=562074&img=4&sid=undefined

Speaking of zombies, I know of a really great, yet little known zombie film. Everybody who has watched it has given it great praise, and I do too. Well it isn't exactly a true zombie film. Zombies don't actually make an appearance until it's more than half way through. It's a horror suspense film centered around a private investigator trying to find out as much as he can about a series of murders at a mountain resort that he's staying at and ends with him trying to solve the mystery centered around the necronomicon. The aptly named movie is called Mystery of the Necronomicon.

Oh and some of you probably wont like it due to its anime nature. But everybody I know who has watched it has spoken no ill of it.


Another great zombie film is Cemetery Man


They're the reasons why I had to vote other
