Synopsis[]
A bit of unholy cemetery sex ends badly, kicking off a worldwide zombie plague. It's the cutest apocalypse you'll ever see.
Plot[]
A drunken couple drives to a cemetery to fool around and have sex. When the man climbs up the overlooking angel statue and starts humping its face, it falls and disturbs the nearby building. The wooden cross on top of the building's spire falls, landing in an inverted position on the statue's unoccupied pedestal. Lightning strikes the inverted cross, setting it ablaze with green flames and raising the dead. The zombies make quick work of the couple before heading up the cemetery path toward civilization.
Chaos and carnage begins in California and quickly spreads throughout the world, with zombies overrunning Mexico, France, Thailand, Canada, and The Vatican. Word of the plague reaches Washington (which is somehow unaffected at this time), whereupon air strikes are ordered on major American cities. The survivors in these cities have resorted to Mad-Max-esque modifications to their vehicles in an effort to combat the zombies.
Attacking a nuclear power plant, the zombies receive an exponential boost in power after being doused in mutagens, with certain ones several times larger than the others and able to spit green flames. With no other choice, world powers launch nuclear ordnance, destroying the planet in the process. Towards the end of the episode, the camera pulls back to show the immense scale of the Milky Way. The end of the world is represented by a brief flash of light and a pathetic fart noise.
Trivia[]
- A gas station is seen with neon letters spelling "HELL" on its roof. A fallen "S" can be seen on the ground below it, implying it is a Shell-brand petrol station. Interestingly, the station has no other Shell branding.
