Talk:28 Pranks Later/@comment-26423071-20160819024808

One common excuse why they went with the "cookie zombies" angle rather than with real zombies is that this is a family show.

To that, I have four words for you:

"Codename: Kids Next Door".

"Operatin Zero" is "28 Pranks Later" done rights. The zombies there are actually zombies. They don't even need gore (you don't see blood or exposed brains), but the zombies actually look like zombies.

And the zombies want to rip apart the Kids Next Door, not "get all the cookies" or whatever.

If this episode had the nuts that "Operation Zero" had and went with real zombies for the massive Ponyville pranks, I would have liked it a lot more.
