Zerg Rush/Western Animation

Back to the main page.

Examples of Zerg Rush/Western Animation include:

• In several episodes of Futurama, Zapp Brannigan reminisces about winning one of his many "victories" using this tactic with human troops. What happened was there was an attack by "Killbots", in which he just sent waves and waves of his own men against them until they filled their pre-set "kill limit" and stopped. Yes, he did just devoid the purpose of attempting to fight the Killbots in the first place.
  • There's also the episode where he plans to send wave after wave of ships to clog the enemy's weapons with ship wreckage:

Zapp: The alien mothership is in orbit here. * points to map* If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!
Kif: (sighs)
Zapp: Now, like all great plans, my strategy is so simple an idiot could've devised it. On my command, all ships will line up and fly directly into the alien death cannons, clogging them with wreckage.

• A Zerg Rush gives the Monarch's henchmen a rare and costly victory over Brock Samson in The Venture Brothers.
• The aptly named "Rush" in Wakfu. The favorite pastime of the Shushus, those who invoke it are pitted against 666 low-level Shushus until they fall. When the heroes face it, they also have the added challenge of fighting Anathar.
• This is the primary strategy of the Generator Rex villain No-Face, who telepathically directs all of the EVOs at strategic points to overwhelm opponents who are attempting to escape.
• The Changelings do this during their invasion of Canterlot in My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
