Humorous Entertainment in Zombie Culture

     Although when people think of Zombie Culture such as in movies, television shows, video games, comic books, etc. it is commonly associated with a serious, thrilling connotation, more and more often in today’s society, that is beginning to change. As a result, zombie culture is beginning to undergo a transformation of a comedic association, as obviously observed in Zombie Land, among other films or mediums of entertainment such as Shaun of the Dead,  Dead Rising, Dawn of the Dead, and other various forms of entertainment that focus on Zombie Culture with a humorous or comedic standpoint. Within this film, there are many aspects of Zombie Culture that are prime examples of the rapidly changing way that society focuses on zombies and entertainment as a whole.

     Among these aspects that are ever changing other than the perception of zombie culture is the search for a cure. In movies such as World War Z, the group is constantly looking for a cure or vaccine with a sense of urgency to reverse the effects of the apocalypse, whereas movies with a comedic association such as Zombie Land don’t really take a cure into consideration, and are more occupied with how many zombies they can kill in very unrealistic ways, and spend their time looking for things that are somewhat unnecessary in the post-apocalyptic world such as Twinkies being a reoccurring high priority without even the simple mention of a cure.
