Zombie game shows, On creating

Zombie game shows are awesome1, action-packed and often unintentionally hilarious, which is why you should create one of your own and become rich! Now there are a few formats that really lend themselves to the zombie theme:

  • Zombie Island - Strand a group of people with minimal supplies on an island and then release zombies around the island. You can make it a game of survival, or more amusingly you can plant an important clue on each zombie and force the contestants to hunt the undead until they can get off of the island. Note, this can work at a mall, a prison, or even in the middle of a national park.
  • Zombies Do the Darndest Things or America's Funniest Undead Videos - Film zombies doing stupid things, laugh, repeat until bored.
  • The Bachelor: Extremely Desperate Edition - Take one man and twelve well preserved zombie women and let the fun begin. They go on dates, have fun, are equipped with muzzles to prevent biting, and of course shoots one in the head at the conclusion of each episode.
  • Add zombies to any Japanese game show.
  • The Price is Right - Bring a zombie Bob Barker2 back to replace the abomination that is Drew Carey.

All of these shows are obviously absolute gold, and will make everyone involved something like a gazillion dollars. Remember of course to force all contestants to sign a ridiculous waver before filming starts, as you really don't want to get in a situation with zombie lawyers3.

  1. This is all under the assumption that a zombie apocalypse has already occurred and the situation has been brought under control. If there has not already been a mass-outbreak of zombies then you probably know nothing about controlling them, and creating a game-show with them will most likely cause a zombie apocalypse of it's own. So don't be the guy who fucks over the world, let someone else do it first! [↩]
  2. I realize he's not dead, but still, awesome. [↩]
  3. No really, I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about right here. Zombie lawyers? What the fuck does that have to do with anything at all? [↩]
