- “No... I'm Sorry Shaun.” Ed is a great character but, when he tells Shaun he is sorry for being messy! His "silent fart" gives away that he wasn't being genuine about his apology.
- "Maybe It's Not As Bad As All That -- Oh, No There They Are." One of the most iconic moments where Shaun discovers just how real and horrible the zombie outbreak is.
- "Thanks, Babe." What really makes these Shaun and Ed scenes is just how they're so close as friends and sometimes take it a bit far!
- “I’ll Do It On The Night.” Ed just might have the most comedic timing! What really keeps these moments so unforgettable is when Ed, who's supposed to learn how to be a "zombie," doesn't take this seriously. Instead, he throws it off by saying, “I’ll Do It On The Night.”

We've even seen Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" become so iconic because of it! But what really makes this movie stand out is its quick humor that brings laughter and great entertainment! It's such a good line and so silly because he was really trying to have David turn off the "jukebox."
