Zombie vs. Baby
[ click the image to enlarge ]
A simple examination of the common attributes of babies and zombies so that a greater mastery of each may be achieved. Why, you ask? Uhhh… Okay, maybe it’s just more like one of those “why the heck not?” questions, but this is in no way intended to offend lovers of either subject.
This could very well serve as a key to understanding the one you’re kinda weak on if you’re only familiar with one of the subjects (zombie or baby) and perhaps provide, theoretically, the insight necessary to your own survival in the raising of a baby or combating an apocalyptic army of walking dead.

Before you guys launched, you promised that this site was going to be the “Best Blog you’ve ever seen.”
This is an example of such. Just AWESOME.
We’re gonna keep trying on that account!
Ha ha ha! Well, we didn’t set out to make ourselves out to be liars. At least, not about that. Thanks!
This is awesome! So true . . .
Thanks, Chris! We didn’t realize how similar they were until we started looking.
Complete awesomeness.
Wow! Thank you, Jenny. Means a lot to us, coming from you.
Hoo to the ray! We were just hoping for 50-60% awesomeness! Ha ha!
OMFG
I know. LQTM. zOMG, right? WSIWYG.
Ha ha ha! zOMGie vs. Baby
Hahahahaha wow this is ironic…I’m scared to death of zombies…but I absolutely LOVE babies, especially my own…this post might just help me get over my insane fear! Not only an awesome site, but a lifesaver as well!!! You guys rock!!
Think about it… zombies just want love too. They want hugs and time with mom. And maybe a side of brains to go with it.
I will have to remember this should I ever come across a zombie. It really might just save my life!!
I’VE HAD 3 KIDS, I’LL TAKE THE ZOMBIE ANY DAY! “NO DIAPERS TO CHANGE” LOL!
No wonder I’m not all that afraid of zombies. Awesome!
Yep. You’ll be a General in the Zombie Apocalypse before you know it.
HAHAHAHA. That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Epic!
We share because we care. It is our duty.
You said “doody”.
You know…I thought this picture looked familiar. It kinda reminds me of Finn during his second bout of the stomach flu. Remember, Charlie? You came home and found us in the bathroom…drool/barf, etc. on our clothes, in my hair, running down the glass bathroom shower door? Projectile vomiting is really a force to be reckoned with, no?
It was like the movies “The Exorcist” and “Dawn of the Dead” combined into a mega-horror reality TV show. Scary and crazy.
We can not be held liable for any resemblance this illustration bears to any person of any age, real, imagined, undead or even robotic. Any resemblance is coincidental and is not intended to make fun of anyone with stomach flu or cursed resurrection from the dead.
Hi there,I have recently become a dad of the age of 20, and wouldn’t change it for the world. Fatherhood is the best and hardest thing u could ever dream of. I have just found the blog and read through and its soo true and funny, had a great time reading it thanks. X
People like you are the reason we started this blog. Keep coming to the site and we’ll keep posting the best stuff we can.
This rules!
this is so funny and yet credible….. explains why the sudden change on people with babies….. lol
Great stuff as always. Of course, the guy on the left looks a hell of a lot like me most mornings!
Oh, wow. We thought he looked familiar! We forgot to put in the zombie graphic and put in “dad’ instead…
best.diagram.ever. LMAO!
The resemblance is astounding. I don’t know why no one pointed this out before.
Now, how are you going to top this?
We do not know. We do NOT know how we’re going to top this one. But we will never stop trying. Hopefully people laugh at our attempts more than the general attempt.
So all I’ve seen thus far are ultrasound pics of my little girl and she for sure has a the “Zombie-look” going on right now. I guess it sticks around during the infancy too?
It does indeed. Also, see the Kanye West VS Baby diagram, for further info: http://www.howtobeadad.com/2011/1840/kanye-vs-baby
Yeah, those 3D shots can be pretty creepy. I didn’t care for it myself when the ultrasound operator said “and now check THIS out.” and switched to the 3D mode. It looked like someone did a bad clay sculpture of a baby, threw it in the back of their trunk and went to a crash derby.
OMG…this is exactly what I have been talking about. Except my 9-year-old has the behaviors of a zombie when it’s the middle of summer and he’s bored. He mopes and groans and act as if he dead…it’s unbearable.
Yeah. We forgot to warn people that these zombie similarities sometimes continue into childhood. Sorry for the oversight.
Frakkin awesome! Now, what do I feed her when I run out of paramedics?
We don’t know. Male nurses? Once you run out of paramedics, maybe they’ll send all the male nurses? I don’t know. Just sounds funny.
Night of the living dead, fits great to new parents
Oh yeah. Babies turn parents into zombies for sure.

Awesome!!!!Very astute.
My son was a “zombaby” for his first Halloween last year! He drooled and chewed on his very first brain.
That’s rad! I’m trying to get my boys to go zombie. I’ve added it to all of their ideas. When they say something like Wolverine, I say how about zombie Wolverine. Pilot, zombie pilot. Hippie, zombie hippie. Ha ha ha ha ha!

I think “frequently bites” also applies.
You can stop thinking and knowing, it DEFINITELY applies!
Whoa… we are completely on the same wavelength. Check out our Kickstarter campaign for A Baby’s First Book of Zombies…

The zombies are already controlling our minds from their graves. The Apocalypse is nigh! (why the Hell can I never spell Apocalypse right the first time!?! I’m blaming it on more zombie mind control.)
I absolutely love watching zombie movies with my three teen boys. And, finally, someone has explained why. I am also a foster parent who has taken care of about four dozen babies and toddlers over the last 5 years. Also, I have often made the comparison between handling toddler boys and puppies. Love your site!
Looking forward to it myself. My two older boys are old enough for a not-too-hardcore zombie movie I think.

Makes me glad I’ve chosen to never have children.
LOL! Zombies are cuuuuute! When they’ve got their jaws still attached.
Only difference – with a zombie, you have to destroy the brain. With a baby, you have to help it grow.
Both are lots of fun. Don’t get them reversed, whatever you do!
“Okay, now what does a cat say?”
“Blaaaarg!”
“No, good try. A kitty says AAAaaaaaaaaaaa…”
*nom nom*
Only difference – with a zombie, you have to destroy the brain. With a baby, you have to destroy its innocence.
There. I fixed that for you.
LOL!
This is probably the funniest site I’ve come upon in a long time. I love seeing a man’s point of view on all of this!!
Ha ha! RAD!
LOVE IT!
Awesome. I love both and this is so true.
Very Funny! I am a zombie right now, like the living dead! I was infected by my first daughter,
Ha ha ha! The firsts are the most potent. They’ll turn you into one of those zombies that isn’t even a threat to anyone. Limping slow as a snail with parts falling off.
Hilarious! Sometimes I feel like the zombie. I just wrote a post about it on my blog, “Love Me Some Zommbies”.
So glad you liked it. Parental zombification is all part of the process.
I never saw the connection before. You are oh so right!
Very funny. I used to always think that there were many similarities between our son and a puppy, but I never thought of a Zombie.
Ha ha! You’re welcome. That’s what we’re here for, making people think things they never would have thought of otherwise about being a parent. Or something. Until we make up a new reason we’re here.
Very funny. Since I had 4 children in 6 years I am going to say that baby is 13 months old and had oranges for breakfast.
This is even better than the comparisons my husband and I constantly make between living with a baby and hanging out with a drunk man. Babies fall down a lot, vomit, soil their pants, drool, go from laughing to crying back to laughing again all in the space of 4 seconds, slur what speech they do have, repeat themselves, dance clumsily, hang on you whenever they’re near, take off their clothes at odd times, and sometimes can’t hold their heads up very well. Just like your best drinking buddy.
Ha ha ha ha! So true! We were going to do a Baby vs Drunkard but we thought it might be too similar to the Baby vs Redneck we already did. But what you wrote is solid gold.
You are welcome to the material for a Baby vs. Drunkard comparison. I’d love to see it formalized.
Rockstar. We’ve got a big list of planned content, but it’s really a good one.
My breastfed son knows how to crawl and climb. Combine this with groans and groping at the food source, and have yet another similarity.
So true. Thank god they don’t have teeth capable of eating brains.
Is there any chance of getting this in poster format? I’ve got a baby shower to go to in November that this would be a perfect goofy gift at.
Also, if permission was given, I’d be happy to get it printed and all that myself, I’d just need either a vector or really high res version of this.
Aw man. I wish we could oblige but we don’t offer posters on this one. We really should, though. Sorry man. Thanks for the love though.
But it costs nothing to post it as a poster on zazzle, and you already have the art up as a t-shirt as well as something else up as a poster. Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top!
After marathoning The Walking Dead during late nights with my son, I can’t agree more. I had set him down after he (finally) fell asleep, and then he gurgled and my response was #$%!!# WALKER!

“Can turn others into a zombie”
+100 YES I’m a zombie
One more to add,
They both try to eat your brain !
Last night my son (soon to be 8 mos old) grabbed me by the ears and bit my forehead with enough force to hurt.
I compare him to my race car;
* Loud
* Fast
* Expensive
* Leaks fluids from everywhere
* A lot of fun
