Zombeh Attack

Zombeh Attack (also known as Eddsworld Zombeh Attack or Zombeh Attack 1 and EWZA as its flash file name) is a flash animation by Edd Gould and is the first installment in the Eddsworld Zombeh Attack Trilogy. Released on Newgrounds on October 4, 2005, it was inspired by Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead.
== Synopsis ==
After their van gets wrecked the gang walk into a zombeh-infested town and they must escape from there.
==Plot==
The film starts with Edd, Tom, Matt and Tord in a van driving down a dark road while The Blue Wrath from Shaun of the Dead plays in the background. Suddenly, the van crashes into a man running away from something, which causes the van to flip into the air and land in a cemetery. With the van now broken, Edd decides to go into the nearby town of Bittensborugh. While walking through, Matt decides to ask a zombie (also known as a Zombeh) for directions, which causes the zombeh to tear his arm off. Edd decides to ditch Matt, with Tom and Tord soon following. They stop to catch their breath, but they then see a massive horde of zombehs crowded around a petrol station. The zombehs see them and start to slowly walk towards them. Edd just decides to run away again, and Tom and Tord agree with him.
Tord then explains that they need a safe place to hide in, which also needs to be camouflaged. They decide to hide in a portapotty, placing an 'Out of Order' sign on the outside as "camouflage". Edd then says that they need weapons, so Tom looks out the hatch on the top of the portapotty and looks out for some places where they could find weapons. Out of a weapons shop, a knives and weapons shop and the local mall, Tom picks the mall. A montage of weapon shopping is then shown. Edd gets a chainsaw, Tom gets a shovel and Tord almost gets a gun, until Edd and Tom switch it for a fork and spoon. Tord then explains that they need to attack the zombehs by surprise and then they all jump out, ready for battle, only to realize that no one's there. With shocked expressions on their faces, Tom collects the repair kit for the van. When they turn around, however, the Zombeh horde is there... and the leader of the horde is none other than Matt, who is now a zombeh himself. Edd is shocked and confused, but Matt explains that he was bored of laying there while festering. Matt then orders the other zombehs to attack.
Edd, Tom, and Tord then start to kill all the zombehs, but in the process, Tord gets bitten. However, Edd seems to care more that the Coke Machine got broken, before Edd and Tom run away to the van and drive out of the cemetery. Zombeh Tord then stands up in the back seat and lunges at them.

==Behind the Scenes==

*There is a prototype version of the intro in Edd's DeviantArt scraps section, the only difference being that the "Eddsworld" logo is a red hand-drawn logo instead of a green logo using a font.
===Removal from YouTube===
Zombeh Attack was removed from YouTube in late 2013 due to copyright infringement. It, as well as a few other episodes have been remastered and re-released on the Eddsworld Legacy channel as of March 16, 2016. The original version is still available on Newgrounds.
==In-Jokes==
*The scene showing Matt's arm being bitten off up and the gang running away was featured again in WTFuture, along with an additional scene showing Matt on the ground asking Edd's future self for help. Tord returned to do the voice of himself.
==References to other media==
*The hat on the globe on the Eddsworld logo is a reference to the movie "Wayne's World". Edd Gould got the inspiration for the name "Eddsworld" from the "Wayne's World" title.
*One of the graves in the graveyard scene is labeled "RIP OSX". This is a reference to the Mac OS X operating system.
*The petrol station is called 'Smell', a parody of the Shell oil company. Not only that, but the logo is the same, just the "H" replaced with an "M".
==Trivia==
* This is the last Eddisode where Tord wears his original black coat before he switches to a red hoodie in Behind the Scenes of Eddsworld. (not counting Edd vs Randomness)
* Newgrounds (SWF) version has the audio more compressed comparing to the official Eddsworld website. Newgrounds version has 22050 sampling rate and the Eddsworld website has 44100 sampling rate.
==Goofs==
*When Tord shouts "Oh my God! They're getting closer!", the caption box disappears. Not only that, but Edd has 2 ears on 1 side.
*When planning out the strategy of how to attack the zombehs, Tord says Tom would take the left, but the captions say the right.
*Just after Tord says "Oh my God! They're getting closer!", Edd's pants are blue. However, when the camera first shows Edd, Tom and Tord hiding in the portapotty, his pants change to a light green.
*When Tord gets bitten by an Zombeh he falls from the left but when he’s getting eaten in the next scene he’s shown to be on the right.
*For most of the episode, Tord is voiced by Alex L'Abbé. However, Tord Larsson speaks his final line detailing their attack plan. The explanation for this is likely due to Tord getting a microphone late into production, but nonetheless, this is the only time in the series where Tord has two voice actors in the same episode.
