History Characters / Zombieland

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:When everybody notices that Albuquerque was bitten, he points out that Flagstaff was bitten twice. Both of them turn into T-800 zombies and are put down by Columbus and Tallahassee.]]

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: While Tallahassee and Albuquerque [[OtherMeAnnoysMe go all out in their animosity towards one another]], Columbus and Flagstaff - typical of their awkward, nerdy personalities - try to outdo each other by cordially comparing their rules list (or "commandments" in Flagstaff's case) that basically boils down to dick-measuring.

* NiceGirl: Despite her obliviousness and unwittingly irritating the others she is actually quite a sweet natured girl, so much so that, despite the fact they can't stand her, both Tallahassee and Wichita [[spoiler:feel remorse when they briefly mistake her allergic reaction for a zombie infection, voicing that she didn't deserve it]]. [[spoiler:She even steps aside without any ill feelings when it becomes clear Columbus is only into Wichita.]]

* TheDitz: He is shown to be just as dumb as Madison, such as when he mistook Tallahassee shouting his name as him being from Berkeley too. He also fails to realize the dangers of obliterating guns ''[[TooDumbToLive during a zombie apocalypse.]]''

->''"I was never a very good practical joker."''

* OlderThanTheyLook: Much like Eisenberg himself, he is around 36 years old as of ''Double Tap'', yet he still looks no different than a college student.

* DumbIsGood: In contrast to [[AntiHero the rest of the group]] (save for Columbus), she is dim but easily the only sweet member of the group.

* EveryoneHasStandards: She was a crooked con artist even before the Zombie Outbreak, and yet is absolutely appalled when she's told that none of the girls in his high school asked the sweet and cheerful Columbus to the Eighth Grade dance in 1997.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Tallahassee's Red Oni.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red Oni to Columbus' Blue Oni.

* ManChild: Lampshaded by Columbus a few times.

* SelfInducedAllergicReaction: [[spoiler: She didn't know that there were peanuts in the trail-mix she was eating; her reaction similar to that of [[ZombieInfectee zombie infection]].]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Spacey she may be, she does hold a good chance against the zombies both during the RV fight and at the climax. Wichita even complements her on this.

* 4: [[spoiler: She didn't know that there were peanuts in the trail-mix she was eating; her reaction similar to that of [[ZombieInfectee zombie infection]].]]

* NotQuiteDead: It was assumed that she turned into a zombie and was shot dead by Columbus, but [[spoiler: it later turns out that she just suffered an allergic reaction which she recovered from and that Columbus shot over her head to scare her away.]]

* TheStoner: He carries a bag of weed with him which he shows off when Little rock asks about it.

* BigDamnHeroes: Bails the heroes out in the nick of time in the sequel with some serious CarFu.

'''Murray:''' ... ''Film/{{Garfield}}'', maybe.\\

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: [[spoiler:In ''Double Tap'', a flashback to a press junket for Garfield 3 has him telling an interviewer that his real reason for doing the films is "Drugs cost money"]].

* MsFanservice: downplayed, but it stands out a little in the setting.
