The Last Man on Earth is a FOX Network television series that ran for four seasons between 2015 and 2018. It stars Will Forte, Kristen Schaal, Mel Rodriguez, Cleopatra Coleman, January Jones, and Mary Steenburgen. The series was created by Forte himself, with Phil Lord & Chris Miller producing.After a mysterious virus wipes out humanity some time around 2019, Phil Miller (Forte) spends two years looking for survivors. Failing to find anyone, he returns home to Tucson, Arizona, and occupies a mansion. The crushing loneliness drives him to despair, and Phil is about to kill himself, when he finally finds another human being, fellow plague survivor Carol Pilbasian (Schaal), who has come to Tucson after seeing the signs Phil left up. In spite of their extreme incompatibility, they forge a relationship of necessity. However, once a second woman (Jones) comes along, Miller falls head over heels for her. Of course, Hilarity Ensues, and things get even more complicated. The show then ultimately becomes an ensemble piece as more survivors join the group.(After a second character also named Phil Miller joins the group, the original Phil reluctantly goes by his middle name, Tandy. Entries below may use either name for him.)Not to be confused with the 1964 Vincent Price film of the same title.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: It took until season 3 for one of these moments to involve the entire group. They had a group hug to console Todd, who was incredibly guilty over accidentally running over Pat. Phil and his brother Mike have always been at each others throats, but the season four episode "The Blob" shows that they still manage to find ways to bond and have fun together.

Stopped Caring: Having failed to find anyone, Phil reverts to an essentially feral existence, turning a swimming pool into a giant latrine and allowing the mansion he occupied to fill up with garbage. Carol starts to bring him out of this, as shown when he rigs up an irrigation system to water her tomato garden.

Out Giving Birth, Back in Two Minutes: Carol gives birth while sleeping, only finding out when she wakes up in the morning. And then she has another painless birth shortly after when the second twin comes out while Gail and Tandy are arguing on whether to induce labor or not. Erica is greatly annoyed at this.

 The Last Man on Earth / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Season 2 takes a darker turn. Even though the first one occasionally shows a darker side of other survivors, it's mostly Phil being dumb and trying to get laid vs. the morally superior rest of the group. In season 2, the rest of the group turns out to not be particularly good people either. They all burn down Phil's house out of spite; Phil #2 turns out to be an intimidating and lying dick... and then dies of appendicitis; Todd hides food from the rest of the group and has an affair; Melissa starts to go crazy; a new member dies immediately after Carol frightens him and Gail breaks down due to the new member's death. Also, Mike learns the first man he meets upon returning to Earth is a paranoid loner who fears catching the virus from anyone and ditches the astronaut in Miami. The second season also starts acknowledging some of the hard realities of a post-apocalyptic life, such as the non-sustainability of their lifestyle and lack of proper medical care.

 The Last Man on Earth / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: Since this universe exists to torment Phil, any prediction he makes falls squarely into this category; His reassuring Todd that no one will show up to take Melissa away from him. The season 3 finale "Nature's Horchata" has two in a row. When the gang has to move back to Los Angeles, Phil reassures them that there is no way Pat could find them, while his and Carol's house, hitched behind the RV, is on fire, leaving a conspicuous trail of smoke. Then, when they're ready to set sail, Phil gives a long speech about how they'll be safe from now on... which is interrupted by Pat wielding a shotgun. Fortunately, he is immediately killed by Pamela.

Romantic Fake–Real Turn: Phil married Carol thinking she was the last woman on Earth, but when Melissa shows up, he immediately regrets it. However after Carol proves that she is loyal to Phil, during the six months the two were separated from the rest of the group, he has indeed fallen in love with his wife, and from then on is a loving, steadfast, if zany, husband to Carol.

Artistic License – Biology
 The Last Man on Earth / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: In "Mooovin' In" the gang finds a random cow, and after a short period of debate, they use the cow for milk and cheese. In Real Life, cows, much like humans or any other mammals, only lactate and produce milk when they birth offspring and are nursing. That cow shouldn't be able to produce milk any more than Carol or Melissa can. Mike Miller suffers no ill effects upon returning to earth after three years in microgravity. No one has ever spent three years in space in Real Life but if they did they'd almost certainly be bedridden upon returning to Earth. Mike lives with a batch of caterpillars that have been slowly dying off over the course of three years. However, caterpillars only live for a few weeks or months before turning into moths or butterflies.

Always Someone Better
 The Last Man on Earth / int_19d1c1ae
comment
Always Someone Better: Todd is better at everything than Phil is and a much nicer guy overall. His one flaw (his weight and general unattractiveness) is completely compensated by his great personality and the fact that looks don't matter as much when there are only six people on earth. And then the ultra-handsome and skilled Phil Miller #2 shows up... Phil's brother Mike was the more successful sibling, while Phil was constantly living under his shadow. When Mike arrives in Malibu and charms his way into the group, the old resentments Phil has for him bubble up again. Not to mention Mike is insanely good at archery compared to Phil and stays one step ahead of him consistently during their prank battle in "Fourth Finger". The situation between Phil and Mike is later reversed in "The Blob". Despite Mike's advantages, he's jealous of Phil because he now has a wife and kids, while Mike doesn't have those things. Which is why he goes off to find the source of the heat signature, to see if there are other survivors that he can find happiness with.

Green-Eyed Monster: Phil's immediate responses to almost all men who join the group are jealousy and annoyance. The only exceptions so far have been Mike, who he was initially overjoyed with being reunited with until their Sibling Rivalry kicked back in full force and Pat, who Phil got along with almost instantly before he turned on the group. He seems to have finally overcome this by the time he begins forging a relationship with Lewis, who he consistently (to the point of annoyance) attempts to bond with throughout the third season.

comment
Gender-Equal Ensemble: The show has kept the gender ratio almost even as more survivors come trickling in over the course of the first season. The order goes male (Phil), female (Carol), female (Melissa), male (Todd), female (Erica), female (Gail), male (Phil #2), male (Mike), male (Lewis). There is always a slight leaning toward the female side, however, as the men have a higher tendency of dying and are frequently living separate from the group.

Cosy Catastrophe: The show does not dwell on the harsh realities of living in a world where almost every animal suddenly died from a virus. There are no bodies or signs of destruction. No cars littered around the roads (in fact, the roads and highways are completely empty). It's as if everyone simply disappeared. The survivors don't have to expend much energy on their survival either. They have plenty of food and fuel to sustain themselves. Only in the second season does at least one character start to point out that their lifestyle isn't sustainable. The lack of bodies is also addressed and handwaved in season 2. In the series finale, the survivors finally resolve to live a sustainable life, but the show was canceled before we ever see them start to do the hard work.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: While Phil initially only pretended to be "bros" with Todd as a way of sabotaging his relationships with the women of the group, Character Development on Phil's end has caused them to become this for real. By the third season, Todd is Phil's strongest and most consistent form of moral support after Carol, and Phil is repeatedly shown to value preserving their friendship over improving his own reputation within the group. In Season 4, they even share a "friendship kiss."

 The Last Man on Earth / int_1e12b5b7
comment
Melissa fills this role in the first season. While Carol's Lawful Stupid tendencies make her no better than Phil most of the time and Todd's Nice Guy attitude pushes him into Extreme Doormat territory, she is the only one who seems capable of calling Phil out on his bad behavior. This continues even after Gail and Erica are introduced, as they, like Todd, are quite a bit more willing to give Phil the benefit of the doubt than they should be. This gets played with at the beginning of season 3, where her detached and condescending calm in the face of everything starts to enter The Sociopath territory, to the point where Todd worries for her mental health.

 The Last Man on Earth / int_1e95dd12
comment
Adam and Eve Plot: Carol just assumes that she and Phil have to mate in order to repopulate the human race. Like most other instances of this trope, this ignores a lack of genetic diversity. Until episode 5 it also ignores the fact that their children would have to have sex with each other. Phil finally realizes this while brainstorming ways to convince Carol to let him have sex with Melissa. On "A Real Live Wire", the subject of repopulation is brought up again, with Carol trying to convince the other women that having children is a good thing. The episode ends with the revelation that Erica is pregnant.

comment
Engineered Heroics: In "Mooovin' In" Phil finds a cow and hopes that will make the others think he's indispensable, but when Todd shows him up yet again, he takes the cow in the middle of the night with the intent of making the others blame Todd, then bring it back to make himself look like a hero. It fails when the cow runs away from Phil and Todd finds it again, but then Todd claims that Phil found it because he felt sorry for him. In "Crickets" Phil tries to do this for Todd regarding the bacon that Todd has been hoarding, but just ends up making things look worse for both of them. In "The Wild Guess Express", Phil fakes killing Pat, using a dummy in a hazmat suit, to cover up the fact that he didn't tell Todd that Pat was dead.

Chekhov's Gun: When the group moved to Mexico, a sidestory played out about a Mexican crime gang from before the plague. A bomb was placed in a puzzle box, which found its way into Tandy's hands, but he was never able to open it. As a last request before Tandy would execute Karl for being a cannibal who admitted he wanted to kill everyone, Karl was allowed to toy with the puzzle box. When he figures it out, he explodes just before Tandy shoots him.

Aborted Arc: A minor example, but a large part of the second episode is devoted to Carol's tomato plants. They must have all died horribly because no mention of them is ever given again, despite ending with a hopeful implication.

Brutal Honesty: The comedy derived from Melissa's character is how much of a straight man she plays compared to other actors. She doesn't sugar coat or mince words when explaining anything to Jasper in season 3. He asks what a prolapsed anus is, and she blurts out the truth. Even when she was off her meds, she said what she felt like saying.

Only Sane Man: Melissa fills this role in the first season. While Carol's Lawful Stupid tendencies make her no better than Phil most of the time and Todd's Nice Guy attitude pushes him into Extreme Doormat territory, she is the only one who seems capable of calling Phil out on his bad behavior. This continues even after Gail and Erica are introduced, as they, like Todd, are quite a bit more willing to give Phil the benefit of the doubt than they should be. This gets played with at the beginning of season 3, where her detached and condescending calm in the face of everything starts to enter The Sociopath territory, to the point where Todd worries for her mental health. Phil #2 quickly takes charge when he arrives and is the only person to suggest moving out of Tucson, as it's too arid for growing food. Later in season 2 he's the only one who who cares at all about the food and fuel expiring. His characterization is zigzagged, however, as he grows increasingly obsessed with Carol and alienated by the rest of the group. Lewis takes over this role in Season 3, by virtue of being the Naïve Newcomer. He calls Phil out for pretending to kill an obvious dummy of Pat, thinking it's a bad prank and insulted that Phil thinks they're all idiots, while the others take it in stride, recognizing it as one of Phil's ill-conceived yet well-intentioned plans. He finally warms up to the group in the middle of the season, while remaining the most grounded-in-reality character. For a man who's been stranded on a deserted island since just before the virus wiped out humanity, Glenn has managed to maintain a healthy mind. Learning about it came as a bit of a shock to him, but he continued to maintain a rational and healthy outlook on the current situations, focusing on goals that are within reach. It was only when he saw a beach filled with countless bodies that he started to break down from it all.

Trash of the Titans: Five months after settling into a new home, Phil has filled it to overflowing with garbage. He even has a nearby pool as a personal dumping ground. That is, he turned it into a "toilet pool" by cutting a hole in the diving board. In his defense, he does point out that there is no in-door plumbing anymore, so he thought it was a functional solution for disposing of his waste. The problem is that after several months it really starts to stink.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
 The Last Man on Earth / int_2764d432
comment
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Phil #2 seems like a cool, sensitive, capable and all-round perfect guy, but there are several suggestions that this trope might be in play. In the Season 1 finale he ultimately proves ruthless and cold-hearted enough to abandon Phil #1 in the desert with barely any supplies instead of driving him to another town and leaving him there. This is in direct contrast with Phil #1, who plotted to do the same thing to Todd but ultimately couldn't go through with it. Carol decides that for better or worse she'd rather be with the Phil who couldn't do something like that to someone no matter how big a jerk he might be on the outside rather than the Phil who would do something like that, no matter how perfect he otherwise seems. In season 2, his Jerkass tendencies have been ramped up to contrast with Phil #1 trying to atone for his previous bad behavior. Phil #2 even turns out to have lied about having no middle name: his driver's license shows it's "Stacy".

Guest-Star Party Member: The group has a hard time keeping any male members besides Phil and Todd in it for more than a few episodes. Phil #2 joins at the end of the first season, and sticks around with the group for several months before dying in the middle of the second. Gordon (Will Ferrell) joins the group in the interim between seasons 1 and 2, only to die of a heart attack when Phil and Carol reunite with them in season 2's second episode. Mike joins near the end of season 2 and only manages to stick around for three episodes before realizing that he is dying of the virus and choosing to leave the group in order to avoid forcing them to watch him die. However, he is revealed to still be alive and temporarily returns to the group in Season 4. Pat joins in the first episode of season 3, only to attempt to kill the group at the end of the same episode. He is supposedly killed by Todd, but escapes. He returns at the end of the season, but is finally killed by Pamela. Darrell arrives with Pat and is immediately killed by Melissa. Lewis also arrives with Pat and stayed a while longer, but was killed in a plane crash in the second half of the season. Rear Admiral Roy Billups (Jack Black) is killed off literally 2 seconds after he shows up on camera. Glenn is discovered on a deserted island in Season 4, but leaves with Pamela in the next episode. Karl is freed from prison by Tandy and Todd, but is later discovered to be a cannibal who wants to kill the group. Before Tandy tries to execute him, Karl inadvertently blows himself up using a booby-trapped puzzle box.

comment
Blatant Lies: Phil tells Carol he doesn't know who took her tomatoes even though he is the other half of the known human race and has tomato on him. After lying about being horribly lactose intolerant, Phil gobbles up some milk and cereal claiming that it's his "cheat day." When Phil meets Gail and Erica, he lies about there being other survivors and claims that Carol was his late wife. When the lie is found out, he claims that it was all a prank. It was after this that he realized how much lying he's done and decides to come clean about everything. After Phil #2 arrives, Phil falls back into his lying ways to make himself more competitive, such as having been in the military and being the son of Jessica Tandy. Melissa casually shoots down his claims. Carol gets in on the act when she claims that Phil is dead in order to get back with the group. Even Phil realizes this is a bad idea. Phil tries to cover for Todd's transgression by painting Todd as a hero and himself as a villain, but he tells such a fanciful tale that the gang ignores him and asks Todd for the real story. Phil and Carol's flimsy scheme to make Todd feel better after running Pat over with the A-Team van: Phil fights a mannequin dressed as Pat on the beach while Carol gives over-the-top color commentary to the group through binoculars. At this point in the story, no one buys it, with Gail flatly telling Lewis, "Just let it play out. I like to see where these things go."

Malaproper: In spite of being a Grammar Nazi, Carol often gets expressions wrong or twists existing expressions in confusing ways. Carol believes the expression is, "I was holding my breast" instead of "breath," reasoning that holding her breath would cause her to die. She tells Todd, "I'm watching you like a hog," instead of "hawk," then oinks at him. She says that her family members were all avid walkers, calling them "pedophiles," confusing the Greek prefixes of "ped" meaning "foot" and "pedo" meaning "child."

Ambiguous Ending: Since the show was cancelled at the end of season 4, the show ends on a Cliffhanger. Moments after Mike drives away to parts unknown, Tandy's crew are completely surrounded by a huge group of survivors who just emerged from an underground bunker. It'll never be revealed what their intentions are.

Important Haircut

comment
Important Haircut: Phil finally shaves his beard to impress Melissa. Ironically, she and Carol think he looks silly without it. When Tandy gets half of his body shaved as a prank, Todd does the same as a sign of solidarity, but after Tandy lets Mike have sex with Carol to get pregnant instead of Todd like they agreed, Todd shaves his whole head to show that he's no longer taking Tandy's side. Mike makes amends to Tandy for shaving half of his body by shaving down the other half to even it out. When Mike returns, he shaves half of Tandy again. He also shaves the other half again, only this time he leaves a rat tail.

Screaming Birth: Erica ends up giving birth in traditional fashion at the end of season 2. It was a long and painful process. Carol, on the other hand, ends up giving birth in her sleep and only realized it when she woke up. When talking about this with Gail later on, Erica is extremely annoyed that Carol didn't have to suffer the same way she did.

Butt-Monkey: It's a running theme in the first two seasons of the series that everything bad that happens to Phil is a result of his own actions: Because Melissa arrived first in Tucson, she would have found him before Carol if he had thought to write his address on his "Alive in Tucson" signs. Phil shamelessly tries to seduce Melissa with fireworks, which allows Todd to locate them and break up the sex arrangement Phil had worked out. Phil suggests playing "shirts versus skins" in tennis to embarrass Todd in front of the women over his obese frame, but by taking his shirt off Todd reveals the scar from his donated kidney, endearing him to them. Phil steals the cow and blames Todd for tying the tether incorrectly, but Todd ends up finding it again, making him the big hero. Phil lies to Gail and Erica about being alone, then almost immediately runs into his other friends, alienating both groups. When Phil realize that his good graces with Gail and Erica hinge solely on other men not showing up, he modifies one of his "Alive in Tucson" signs and gets stuck, which causes Phil #2 to spot him and bring him back to the group. Phil's Season 2 punishments go from bad to worse because he keeps pissing everybody else off.

Wham Shot: The Season 2 finale ends with Pat and two other men in hazmat suits arriving at Malibu with guns. "Five Hoda Kotbs" ends with the group discovering a large office complex with electric power. "Got Milk" has an In-Universe one for Pamela. While she's hiding in the bunker, she uses the drone to look over the countryside. At one point, she flies the drone over a city and comes upon a football stadium. When she sees the rows upon rows of body bags, she realizes the magnitude of the virus. "The Spirit of St. Lewis" has two. The first is Lewis dying in a plane crash moments after taking off on his first flight, and the other is the final shot, where the elevator where Gail is trapped starts working again, and a seemingly dead Gail starts moving her fingers. "Hair of the Dog" has Carol finding a person in the background of the photos she took of her and Gail. "M.U.B.A.R." ends with the group headed towards an island... as someone spies on them from the bushes. "Not Suitable For Miners" ends with Tandy and Phil looking for Jasper in an abandoned prison, with a prisoner watching them from the inside. "Release the Hounds" ends with someone finding one of the balloons Tandy has been using to disposed of dirty diapers. "Special Delivery" has Tandy wake up and look in the mirror. Finding his hair and beard half shaved off. The calling card of... At the end of "The Blob", Todd is painting a room to use as a nursery when he makes a hole in the wall and discovers a dead body inside. "Barbara Ann" ends with a large number of survivors emerging from an underground bunker and heading in the direction of the group, all the while implying Pat was right all along. The next episode, "Cancun, Baby!", ends with those same individuals completely surrounding the group.

Go Mad from the Isolation: To the point that Phil has a whole array of faces drawn on sports balls that he talks to, almost goes on a date with a mannequin, and finally attempts suicide. Even after meeting other survivors, he sneaks off to talk with his ball friends. Pat, the man Mike meets after landing on Earth, has been living at sea since the virus hit and has become paranoid about getting infected. Pamela has spent years in a bunker and tries to get her dog Jeremy to say the word "milk", getting mad when he doesn't do so.

Kavorka Man: Played with and deconstructed with Todd. He's overweight and unattractive, but his Nice Guy personality leads to Melissa taking an instant liking to him. By the second season, every single woman in the group besides Carol enters a relationship with him based on his being a nice, reliable guy when in reality he's cheating on all of them. To his credit, he is shown to be deeply guilty about it, though it still hardly makes his behavior justifiable.

Disproportionate Retribution: Sure the first season was Tandy being a manipulative bastard the whole time so the rest of the group had good reasons to not like him, but after seeing him become a much more caring, likable person at the start of season 2, forcing him into a pillory, solitary confinement, and ultimately wearing a shock collar and staying in a tiny patch of lawn and a tiny shed for weeks as punishment was a bit much. The thing that makes it worse is Melissa's constantly torturing him for laughs and the fact that nobody even acknowledges that he's trying to prove himself. Even after putting out the house fire despite immense pain from the shock collar they take off the collar but still shun him.

Drowning My Sorrows: In the season 1 finale, after Phil gets confronted about his plan to get rid of Phil #2 in front of everyone, he runs off and locks himself in his room.

In season 2, Phil #2 gives up on trying to save the group and gets rebuffed by Carol, so he has nothing left to live for and drowns his sorrows. Tandy finds him passed out on the beach, about to get washed into the ocean.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 The Last Man on Earth / int_60547993
comment
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When Gail and Erica arrive, Carol accepts that either of them would probably be more compatible with Phil, so she divorces him, even knowing she may never find another man. Subverted when Phil #2 arrives and he and Carol hit it off. Phil #1 realizes he misses her and tries to get back together. Carol makes it clear that he missed his chance. Double Subverted when Phil #2 banishes Phil #1 from Tucson. Carol chooses to leave with Phil #1. In Season Two the Tucson gang has moved to Malibu and left a note for Carol to join them, but not to bring "Tandy" because it could be dangerous for him. Phil finds the note first and hides it from her, but after seeing how much Carol misses them, he gets her drunk and drives her to Malibu while passed out so that she could be with them, risking trouble for himself.

Dream Sequence
 The Last Man on Earth / int_615fdb1f
comment
Dream Sequence: In the pilot Phil is being woken up by an insanely gorgeous woman. It turns out to be a dream, and he's really being revived by the decidedly more average-looking Carol. Just before he and Carol get married, Phil dreams that after the wedding they are surrounded by well wishers, and are not the last two people on earth after all. This is presented as Phil's worst nightmare. In "Sweet Melissa", Phil dreams that Melissa is inviting him to have sex. Then he finds Carol in the toilet instead. He wakes up with a start. "She Drives Me Crazy" opens with Phil having sex with Melissa, then waking up with Carol. He then wakes up from that and finds himself in bed with Melissa. And Todd. Then he wakes up screaming. In "The Boo", Phil dreams that Carol went to live with the others in Malibu, and as he drives after her he's attacked by Phil #2. He wakes up, then finds himself with Melissa, who shoots him dead. Then he wakes up for real.

It's a Small World, After All
 The Last Man on Earth / int_61e3b6ae
comment
It's a Small World, After All: Played with according to what the writers want. Tucson is big, and Melissa says she was there a while before running into Phil and Carol (literally), and Todd says he was almost ready to give up searching and leave when he saw Phil's fireworks, and the two new girls have been there long enough to set up a house. They had evidently not seen the stores Phil and company have raided for supplies over the course of the show, nor run into each other when they searched the whole city for the cow in a previous episode. However when they do run into each other by accident, thanks to the aforementioned fireworks display/seduction attempt, spitefully burning a shopping cart full of trash, passing each other on the same dark road, it is a small world.

Driven to Suicide: Tandy ends up attempting suicide due to his despair over being alone as the last man, but he's interrupted by seeing a sign that someone else is alive, and stops himself at the last minute. Mike tries to throw himself into the vacuum of space after the last worm in the space station dies. As with Phil, he stops himself at the last moment when he sees one last surviving worm. This appears to be the case with Gail in the season 3 midseason finale, after being trapped in the elevator and realizing that she'll never be found. She picks up her gun with one bullet in the chamber and we hear a shot, but it turns out she's OK and escapes the elevator when the power comes back on. Karl is about to hang himself after being in prison alone when he sees Tandy and Phil looking for Jasper. Later, when he realizes that he cannot help being a cannibal, he asks the gang to kill him.

Grammar Nazi: One of the ways Carol irritates Phil is her pedantic belief in not ending sentences with prepositions. This makes some of her statements almost incomprehensible. Indeed, this "rule" is actually spurious. In "Find This Thing We Need To", Carol is convinced there's a wild "Yoda" walking about near the complex, aptly named after the shape the creature she ended up taking pictures of looked like. When Phil starts talking like Yoda, she corrects his grammar.

Naturally, every attempt he makes to come clean with the women just digs him in deeper.

Carol just assumes that she and Phil have to mate in order to repopulate the human race. Like most other instances of this trope, this ignores a lack of genetic diversity. Until episode 5 it also ignores the fact that their children would have to have sex with each other. Phil finally realizes this while brainstorming ways to convince Carol to let him have sex with Melissa.

For Want Of A Nail: It's been pointed out a few times that one small change in Phil's actions might have resulted in him not meeting one of the other survivors, or else meeting them sooner. If Phil had listened to Carol when she insisted that he stop at stop signs, he wouldn't have crashed into Melissa's limo. Melissa would have found Phil before he found Carol if only he'd thought to write his address on the billboards. Todd would have given up on finding anyone in Tucson and driven straight on through to Mexico if not for the fireworks Phil used in his attempt to seduce Melissa.

Off with His Head!: After Pamela shoots Pat in the back of the head, he still wasn't quite dead. After pumping him full of holes, they decide the absolute best way to make sure he's dead is to take a shovel and decapitate him.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Two years on his own has left Phil seriously lacking in social graces. As the series progresses, Phil is shown to be a selfish liar whose actions alienate him from all the other survivors. Character development in the second season has him genuinely trying to make amends to the group, but often failing due to terrible judgment.

What Happened to the Mouse?:In-Universe In "Whitney Houston, We Have A Problem", everyone wonders where Gail went because they haven't seen her in days. She's still trapped in an elevator after Lewis and Tandy cut power to the complex's other buildings. At the end of "The Spirit of St. Lewis, Phil returns power to the building, and the elevator stops at its floor and opens the door. We see Gail is still just barely alive. At the end of season 3, when the gang is evacuating from a nuclear meltdown, Jasper asks where the cow is, only for everyone to admit they forgot to take it in their haste. The cow hasn't been shown or mentioned since the middle of season 2.

Bait-and-Switch: In "Dunk the Skunk", a man speeding toward Tucson in a sportscar is presented as some sort of ominous badass. When he finally arrives, it turns out to be Todd, who is goofy, kind and completely nonthreatening. In the second season, Todd is implied to be having an affair. In reality, he's hoarding bacon. This leads to a Harsher in Hindsight moment later in the season, as he actually does end up two-timing both Melissa and Gail. In "The Big Day", Tandy seems surprised when Jasper speaks for the first time in the series. Turns out he was just excited that Jasper painted his toy car, suggesting that Jasper had been speaking for some time.

Took a Level in Jerkass: As Phil gains maturity, the personality flaws of other members of the group become more apparent.

Didn't Think This Through
 The Last Man on Earth / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: This is Tandy's entire existence. Put up Alive in Tucson signs all over the country, but didn't think to include an address, so it takes the rest of the survivors a while to actually find him once in Tucson. Melissa actually arrived first but didn't find him until after he met (and married) Carol. Turned his pool into a toilet pool with no attempts at sanitation. This bites him when the rest of the group forces him clean the noxious waste out. Tells Todd that it would be easy to kill Phil #2 by leaving him out in the desert without remembering he tried and failed at that exact same thing with Todd. He finds the cow and immediately wants to kill it for meat rather than milking it. He steals the cow away in order to find it again and be the hero. It didn't work out the way he intended. He didn't secure the cow so it wandered off. Todd finds it, but gives him credit anyway. After being separated from Carol, Tandy writes his location on party balloons in an attempt to send them across the US to find Carol. Apart from the obvious problems with this plan, he doesn't even fill them with helium. In season 2, Tandy discovers that Todd was hording a freezer full of bacon. After enjoying most of it for themselves, Tandy thinks it'd be a good idea to share the rest. In an effort to get rid of the evidence, he took a jet ski, tied the trash bags to it, and sent it out to sea. He didn't expect it to get turned around and head back to shore, where everyone found it. One for Carol: She tells the rest of the group Tandy is dead, thinking they'd remember him fondly. She plays up his alleged heroism, but the rest of the group are unimpressed. Another for Carol: Jumping out and surprising Gordon, which causes a fatal heart attack. Tandy holds the group at gunpoint to apologize, just as they were ready to forgive him. A subversion happens to Tandy in "Baby Steps". He attempts to use a surf board as a stretcher to bring the unconscious Phil back up to the house from the beach, but the fin on the bottom got in the way. He grabs a gun and prepares to shoot it off, but then realizes that Phil's feet are right next to the fin. He didn't want to shoot his feet off, so he moves the board away to another angle before shooting the fin off. In season 3, Carol tells Tandy he could have pretended to kill Pat instead of telling a remorseful Todd that Pat is alive and creating a whole mess of confusion over whether the paranoiac is alive or dead. Later on in the same season, he tries to calm Carol by putting scented candles in her makeshift home attached to the end of the group's RV, but an uneasy drive makes the candles tumble and set the house on fire. Hey, Pamela, what did you think would happen when you kept denying your dog food simply because he can't say "milk"? Eventually, he'll start looking for other things to eat - and it just might be your clothes! In Season 4's "Señor Clean", after Gail reconciles with Tandy and the two begin bonding with each other, he mistakes her putting her hand on his own and saying they're more than friends as Gail coming onto him (as opposed to Gail implying that the two were like family). He later accuses her of trying to have sex with him, ruining all of the good will he built up with her.

Minimalist Cast
 The Last Man on Earth / int_8e3b5b4d
comment
Minimalist Cast: The whole point of the show is that these characters have no choice but to interact with each other because there's no one else on Earth. Outside of flashbacks, hallucinations, and dreams, there have been 17 human survivors introduced so far (not including the numerous gas-mask-wearing individuals introduced at the end of season 4). In order, they are Tandy, Carol, Melissa, Todd, Gail, Erica, Phil #2, Mike, Gordon, Pat, Daryl, Lewis, Pamela, Jasper, Roy, Glen, and Karl. Only 7 have been in the main cast at the same time, with Mike finding the group a couple episodes after Phil #2 dies, Lewis joining up two episodes after Mike leaves, and Jasper joining after Lewis' death. The group limit is soon broken, however, as Erica's daughter Dawn, and Tandy and Carol's twins, are born.

Not So Above It All: Todd, the nicest guy in the whole group, is the one who hoards a freezer full of bacon all to himself, despite the others having to eat bugs and expired canned food, and gets uncharacteristically angry when Phil suggests sharing it with the group. Of course, given his obesity there is quite possibly a food addiction to blame for this. Season 2 has consistently showed the other survivors to be much more mean-spirited and petty than they previously seemed, and aren't as morally superior to Phil as they may like to believe.

Men Are the Expendable Gender
 The Last Man on Earth / int_974b47a7
comment
Men Are the Expendable Gender: After the virus wipe-out, only men have died in the series. Unless one counts the cow. Gordon, a survivor living in Malibu, dies of a heart attack in "The Boo" when Carol surprises him. Phil #2 dies after a failed appendectomy in "Silent Night". When Mike starts coughing up blood, a sign of the virus, in "Smart and Stupid", he leaves for Tucson, believing that, if he will die, he should die in his childhood home there. However, he is revealed to still be alive in Season 4, so he has subverted this trope. In "General Breast Theme with Cobras", Melissa shoots Darrell, one half of Pat Brown's crew. The other half, Lewis, joins their group... ...and dies in "The Spirit of St. Lewis" when he tries to pilot a plane and crashes seconds after taking off. Finally, Pat himself is killed by Pamela in "Nature's Horchata" before he can kill anyone else. Rear Admiral Roy Phillips (Jack Black) is killed off by a Not Quite Dead Pat literally 2 seconds after he appears on camera. Karl blows up while holding a booby-trapped puzzle box.

Infinite Supplies: The gang can simply loot nearby stores for whatever supplies they desire. In season 2, however, they start having to cope with the fact that perishable items like food and fuel are going bad.

Big Little Brother: Mike is a good few inches taller than Phil and much better built. He is also far more mature, competent, and successful. We don't actually learn that he's Phil's younger brother until they're finally reunited (although this could be inferred because Jason Sudeikis is younger than Will Forte).

Mood Whiplash: The series finds perfect moments to switch between light-hearted comedy and serious examples of when reality bites, including characters dying and disasters taking place. For example, Season 3 ends with the birth of Carol's baby, a beautiful moment immediately ruined by a nuclear meltdown. After having no choice but to go back to Los Angeles, Pat tracks them down, only to be immediately killed by Pamela.

In addition, he says "Oh, farts!" whenever things go wrong. His brother Mike also uses it. Even Gail has adopted it. Finally, whenever he is jealous of another man, Phil mutters "Friggin'" and then the name of the man. Todd joins him in saying "Friggin' Phil!" when Phil #2 becomes popular among the ladies.

Retcon: Although the first season takes place around late 2020 to early 2021, the series changes its date in the second season by skipping two years ahead to the latter half of 2023 even though Phil and Carol have been away from Tucson for only six months between the two seasons. This sudden date change is further evidenced in "Five Hoda Kotbs" when the gang learns Phil accidentally burned San Francisco two years prior to Season 3's current year, 2024, meaning he was still a loner in 2022.

The Ace: Phil #2. He's a handsome and handy ex-special forces soldier with a host of useful skills. He's even good at Jenga! Phil does not measure up in any way — to the extent that he even loses his name to Phil #2 for a period. Even Todd gets insecure. Season 2 introduces an element of Broken Ace, in that his lust for Carol and his dislike of Phil (albeit hardly unjustified in the latter case) hint at a much darker character than the perfecter-than-perfect champion he appeared to be in Season 1.

Hypocritical Humor: Phil watches Cast Away and berates Tom Hanks for talking to a volleyball, while talking to a movie. Five months later, he's put faces on dozens of various balls and talks to them. Phil talks about how selfless his act of irrigating Carol's garden was and states that he'll be rewarded for his selflessness later in the evening. Phil spies on Melissa milking a cow and moans with lust. When Todd approaches her and says that he enjoys seeing a woman milk a cow, Phil snorts "Oh, gross, Todd!" In "Wisconsin", Todd (dressed in fetish gear) tells Tandy (dressed in a diaper) that he looks ridiculous.

By the end of the first season, they've developed real feelings for each other and ultimately become the show's happiest couple. When Carol and Phil return to the group, Phil's attraction to Melissa is completely gone, but she remains incredibly hostile and suspicious of him for nearly the entire second season.

Failed Future Forecast: The series offhandedly depicts Mike Pence as being the 46th president of the United States, whether because he was elected after Donald Trump's term or assumed office due to Trump succumbing to the virus. The show also assumes that Pence's cabinet would be very similar to the one Trump established at the beginning of his term, since the line of succession (and virus victims) includes Paul Ryan, Rex Tillerson, and Jeff Sessions, all of whom ended up resigning or getting axed during Trump's term in office. Of course, the actual 46th president would end up being Joe Biden, whose election coincidentally occurred during a pandemic similar to the one depicted in the show.

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Melissa and Todd become a couple not long after meeting. Phil attempts to drive them apart by emphasizing how unattractive Todd is, but to no avail. Todd is such a nice guy (and the only other man around except Phil) that Melissa is quite willing to cohabitate with him. A one-sided inverted example can be found in the dashing Phil #2's fixation on the plain-looking and bizarrely dressed Carol.

Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: In the series, we see nuclear reactors blow up due to disuse. In real life, they have fail-safes to prevent this exact scenario, called the SCRAM system. If a reaction was to go into meltdown (due to a lack of maintenance), inert lead rods drop between the active radioactive material while the chamber itself floods with a combination of deuterium and bromide known as "heavy water." The nuclear disasters of the age (Chernobyl and 3-Mile Island) occurred because the SCRAM system was taken offline to test different solutions. The last thing to consider is that when reactors run out of fuel, they simply shut down, not explode.

Yank the Dog's Chain: Things tend to begin looking like they're going well for Phil before immediately getting worse. Hooray! Phil meets another survivor! Turns out she's incredibly annoying, and actually ruins his odds with the girl of his dreams. Hooray! Phil gets to have sex with Melissa! Oh wait, no he doesn't and Todd shows up and destroys any chance of it ever happening. Hooray! Phil meets two more attractive women after requesting a do-over. Then he ruins everything by trying to keep them ignorant of the other survivors. Hooray! Phil finally unshackles himself from Carol, and Gail and Erica both show definite signs of interest. Then Phil #2 shows up and it's a repeat of the Todd situation to the nth power. Hooray! Phil and Carol have a happy life together away from Tucson, with Carol's influence turning Phil into a much better person. But she's miserable without other human contact, which leads to the chain of events that convinces Phil that they have to go back to the group, for her sake instead of his. Hooray! The group is finally willing to give Phil a second chance. And then Phil holds them all at gunpoint in a desperate attempt to get them to listen to his apology, which gets him put on the stocks. Hooray! He's mended Erica and Phil #2's relationship. And then Phil #2 dies of appendicitis that night. Hooray! He's finally mended his relationship with Mike. Mike promptly gets sick of what might be the virus. Hooray! Phil has finally found a friend who immediately likes him for who he is and respects him as a man! Too bad he's a psychotic lunatic who tries to murder Phil and the rest of the group, convinced that they lied to him about not having the virus. And previously tried doing the same to Mike. Hooray! Phil convinces Lewis to try flying a plane for the first time. He crashes and dies moments after takeoff.

Cliffhanger: The midseason finale of Season 2 has Mike hurtling toward Earth, and Phil #2 flatlining during his appendectomy. Season 2 ends with Pat and two other men with guns arriving outside the house in Malibu. The midseason finale of Season 3 ends with an apparently deranged Melissa locked in a focus group room for her own protection and Gail on the edge of suicide by playing Russian Roulette. In Season 4, a huge group of survivors surround Phil and the gang after Mike drives off to parts unknown. The show's cancellation means that this will be forever Left Hanging.

Shout-Out
 The Last Man on Earth / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To Cast Away. Phil rigs up a DVD player to a generator, watches the movie, and mocks the idea of talking to a volleyball. Sure enough, pretty soon he is doing just that, and conceding that the makers of Cast Away got it right. Phil tells Mike that he's going to be a godfather too, to which Mike responds, "Better than being a ''Godfather 3." Phil gets it, but when Mike quotes the first film doing a Marlon Brando impression, Phil has no idea what he's doing. In "The Open-Ended Nature of Unwitnessed Deaths", Melissa tries to seduce Todd by acting out a scene from The Shawshank Redemption. When Erica gives birth, Phil tries to calm everyone down by singing Enya's "Orinoco Flow" using improvised lyrics. Erica's last name turns out to be "Dundee." Phil is unable to contain his mirth that she's Australian and has a name "like the movie." Jasper wears a number of costumes of popular children's characters, such as He-Man and the Hulk. While painting Gail's portrait, Karl listens to "Goodbye Horses", a song that was liked by another serial killer, Jame Gumb. Todd destroys his trains à la Godzilla in "Release the Hounds".

Rage Breaking Point: In "The Wild Guess Express", Tandy spends most of the episode trying to convince Todd that is did NOT kill Pat by running him over just to spare his feelings, but at the same time tried to convince everyone else that he really was dead. Lewis, the newest survivor to join the group, hasn't even been with the group for a full day yet, and gets completely pissed off with Tandy's back-and-forth behavior on the issue. He yells at Tandy to shut the hell up, look him straight in the eye, and tell everyone the truth about the situation at hand.

Description Cut: Carol tells Phil that "a man's home is a reflection of his soul." Cut to Phil showing her the pool he uses as a toilet. In "The Boo", Phil mentions how beautiful the beaches in Malibu are. Cut to the beach littered with whale corpses. In "No Bull", after the gang hit a bull with a dozen or so tranquilizer darts, Phil claims that he'll be fine. Cut to the group eating beef. In "The Wild Guess Express", Phil finds Pat's dead body and muses that even though he tried to kill them, he still deserves a proper burial. Cut to Phil dumping the body in with the garbage.

Series Continuity Error: In Malibu, the group is spied on by a drone, which appears three times — 1) when Gail was alone, 2) when others were with her, proving its existence to them, and 3) when the group holds up signs and Melissa shoots it out of the sky. When the later episode "Got Milk?" shows the event from the drone operator's perspective, she sees Gail alone, then the group holding signs before losing the signal to a "fatal system error", with no evidence of the second encounter.

Logical Latecomer: By the time Lewis joins the cast in season three, the group has gotten used to Phil/Tandy's peculiar logic. Lewis grows exasperated not only at Phil's antics, but also by the others' blasé attitude towards it. It takes Tandy forcing Lewis to travel to Seattle and then Tucson with him to give them enough time for Tandy to explain to him why he is the way he is, and for Lewis to finally warm up to him as a person.

Serial Escalation: In "Fourth Finger", Phil's prank war with Mike escalates as they try to one up each other. Mike shaves Phil's entire right half of his body, and Phil responds with poison oak in his sleeping bag. Before he can fall for that, he leaves Phil a gift box full of money. As soon as Phil touches it, he is sprayed with ink. Trying to get him back for that, Mike plays headgames and gets Phil to cover himself with poison oak, then sets him up with another prank while he is sleeping. He finally calls it off when Phil convinces Todd to follow through with shaving the right half of his head and body to try and set a trend, but Phil insists that things are just going to continue getting worse.

Apocalyptic Logistics: Through season one, the survivors don't have much trouble getting food or fuel even after two years of it all just sitting around, which contributes to their Cosy Catastrophe. In season 2, their electricity is justified by their solar panels, though they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of candles for nighttime. Season 2 also introduces the gang dealing with the fact that their canned food and fuel have started to expire.

comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Basically every one of Phil's schemes backfires on him. Phil's schemes to get Melissa to like him, make Todd look bad, and/or put some distance between himself and Carol always have the opposite of the intended effect. His attempt to drive away any other men by painting over a billboard leaves him stranded and definitely not having sex with Gail or Erica. It gets worse when the charismatic Phil #2 saves him. He disposes of his and Todd's bacon evidence by way of a loose jet ski. It turns right back around and spills on the beach when everybody is watching. His attempts to get back at Mike alone fail most of the time during their prank battle. After telling Todd that Pat is alive and then telling the others the paranoiac is dead, everyone is confused over Pat's actual status. To make matters worse, Phil tries to resolve this by staging a brawl between him and a fake Pat, but everyone can see through this ruse.

Memorial for the Antagonist
 The Last Man on Earth / int_d8ce4f07
comment
Memorial for the Antagonist: The survivors always hold a funeral for those who die, even those who are dangerous to them. As Tandy usually organises them, things often go wrong: In the season four premier, after several close calls Pat is finally dead, so the group hold a service at sea. Which is mostly sincere until Tandy attempts to cut his head off with a shovel, just to be absolutely sure this time he is dead. And they send his body parts off on two separate speedboats, that proceed to crash into each other. Following Karl getting accidentally blown up, they hold a funeral for him with his remains in two separate coffins to symbolise the two different sides of him. Phil ends his eulogy by acknowledging he'll be burning in hell right now for all the people he murdered during his life. Parodied. At the end of season four, after discovering the house they have been staying at used to belong to a Cartel boss full of drugs, guns and bombs and with walls that are literally stuffed with dead bodies. Phil attempts to hold a funeral for the house in the same manner, planning to blow it to hell, only for him to somehow fail despite the sheer number of explosives inside.

Manchild: As a 41-year-old temp, Phil was apparently not a very mature person before the apocalypse, but his years of isolation have made him regress even further. He lives in heaps of his own trash, amuses himself with juvenile destruction, and his idea of romance doesn't seem to have evolved since his teens. The introduction of a mute kid the gang named Jasper leads to Phil trying to connect with him in any way he can. This leads to his own childish behavior completely coming right out of the woodwork.

Not Quite Dead: In the season 3 opener, Pat finds the group and wants to settle down and start a new life after a sudden misunderstanding with the hazmat suits and the guns. After finding out that Mike is Tandy's brother, he goes psycho. The group hops into a van and tries to get away, running him over in the process. Tandy comes back and assumes he's dead, dragging his body out to the trash behind the house. After Carol wonders what happened to the boat, they find his body is no longer in the trash. Cue the Oh, Crap! moment. At the end of the Season 3 midseason finale, Gail is implied to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot after being trapped in an elevator. In "The Spirit of St. Lewis", the elevator is started again when Phil turns the power back on for his rainbow tribute to Lewis, and the final shot is of Gail's fingers twitching back to life. The next episode, "Hair of the Dog", begins with her stumbling out and being greeted by the others, who had no idea of her ordeal. In the season 4 opener, Pamela introduces herself and her lover, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Roy Billups. Then, Pat, whom she thought she'd killed, springs back to life and kills Roy, so Pamela finishes off Pat with more gunshots. In the season 4 episode "Designated Survivors", Mike comes back and explains that his immune system must've needed some time to adapt to Earth's environment after being in space for so long, because he made a full recovery.

comment
Meaningful Rename: Phil #1 starts being referred to by his middle name Tandy after Phil #2 enters the group. While it at first is used as a way of showing that the group prefers the new Phil over him, it ends up marking the moment Phil #1 makes his largest and most consistent amount of Character Development and becomes a better person. He continues to call himself and be called Tandy following Phil #2's death, cementing that he has moved past his old self. Interestingly, Mike, who never knew Phil #2 (or Stacy), continues to call his brother Phil, possibly as a reminder that Mike symbolizes past issues Tandy needs to resolve so he can grow into the hero he never could be before the apocalypse.

Mildly Military: "Rear Admiral" Roy Phillips's hat has only one set of "scrambled eggs" on the brim. Flag officers have two sets, indicating that while possibly a sailor, Roy probably wasn't an actual Rear Admiral (his age is off as well.)

comment
Satellite Character: Throughout the first season, Erica has done very little on the show without Gail. Erica only takes action separate from Gail when she is competing for sexual partners with her. Even in season 2, she continues to be defined by others, this time in her jealousy of Phil #2's crush on Carol. Only in "Smart and Stupid" does she finally get some character development of her own: she tells Mike, who starts dating her as Phil and Carol celebrate the conception of their first child, that she was incarcerated for an armed bank robbery before moving to the U.S. and getting a job at the State Department under an assumed name. She also lampshades this by remarking to Mike that the only thing the others really know about her is that she's Australian.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Phil and Carol avert their usual Captain Obvious tendencies when Carol makes an extended metaphor about their failed marriage. Carol doesn't explain it, and Phil simply says that he understands. In season 2, it's made clear that the group as a whole really doesn't want Phil back when Nice Guy Todd casually calls him "human garbage."

Big Damn Heroes: Phil expects this after finding the cow, but Todd gets it instead for knowing how to take care of it. During his solitary confinement, Phil puts out the house fire when everybody else is asleep. Phil tries to force this on Todd when he gives the last of the bacon to the group, under Todd's name. It would have worked better if he disposed of the evidence properly. Phil tries to let Phil #2 get this chance by releasing him from the stocks to go find the bull. He does find the bull, but the group poisons it with tranquilizer. In the Season 3 finale, Pat finds the group and is about to shoot them when he's shot by Pamela.

Jerkass: Phil in season 1, when he is obsessed with getting an attractive woman to have sex with him instead of Carol. He undergoes some Character Development in season 2. The later seasons paint Melissa as one more and more. Her cold, scornful treatment of Phil even after he makes it clear that he is genuinely attempting to improve himself, as well as her complete lack of inhibitions with killing another person make her come off as almost unsettlingly cruel, which is noted by Todd in universe.

Moment Killer: Todd's arrival just as Phil is about to bang Melissa. Tandy lets an insensitive, borderline racist remark out when dining with Gail and Erica. He recovers enough that they decide to bang him anyway. Carol's idea of dirty talk during sex isn't what most people have in mind. In the opening of "Crickets", the group seems on the verge of accepting Tandy again but he can't resist making a terrible pun. Commence synchronized eye rolls. Melissa proposes to Todd, but before he can respond, Phil #2 suddenly collapses. Tandy mends his relationship with Mike upon asking him to be the godfather to his child, but Mike then gets sick of what might be the virus. Pat finally gains the courage to take off his hazmat suit on dry land, but he turns against everyone as soon as he learns Tandy and Mike, the latter he thought was carrying the virus, are brothers. Lewis crashes his plane and dies just as he attempts his fist real flight.

Lewis takes over this role in Season 3, by virtue of being the Naïve Newcomer. He calls Phil out for pretending to kill an obvious dummy of Pat, thinking it's a bad prank and insulted that Phil thinks they're all idiots, while the others take it in stride, recognizing it as one of Phil's ill-conceived yet well-intentioned plans. He finally warms up to the group in the middle of the season, while remaining the most grounded-in-reality character.

Law of Inverse Fertility: Carol wants to have children desperately, if only to repopulate the Earth, while the other women don't think raising children in a post-apocalyptic world is the best idea. The first couple to get pregnant is Erica and Phil #2, the latter of which has doubts about being a good father. Later, Phil takes a male fertility test and it comes out negative. He blames it on the test being past its expiration date, but after Todd takes the test and it comes out positive, he has to come to terms with the fact that he's infertile. Then he manages to get Carol pregnant despite this.

Running Gag: Phil's collection of priceless artifacts that he picked up on his travels. He has a collection of famous paintings, he has an Apollo spacesuit, he lounges around the house in Michael Jordan's Bulls jersey, he uses the U.S. Constitution as a napkin, etc. Firing guns into the glass windows of retail stores before raiding them. Carol's aversion to ending sentences with prepositions. Phil performing his one terrible song "Closure" for a wide variety of occasions, modifying it only slightly by changing a few lyrics and leaving the chorus intact. Phil having weird hair. In the first season, he has his Beard of Sorrow, which he shaves and eventually grows back. Then he has the right side of his body completely shaved for a while. Then he regrows his hair and beard, but gets his eyebrows shaved and replaced by fake eyebrows made of felt. Cameo actors dying immediately after they appear. This starts with Will Ferrell, who has a heart attack when Carol jumps out. It's followed by Jon Hamm, who is fatally shot while pointing a gun at the survivors. It's next followed by Jack Black, who is shot while introducing himself. Then a flashback shows Martin Short getting killed by Karl. In Season 4, Phil repeatedly tries to get Mike to drink his urine by presenting it as lemonade. Mile always calls out all of the obvious inconsistencies in Phil's offer but never actually acknowledges that it's urine, causing Phil to keep trying.

Comically Missing the Point: Phil does this three times in "Hair of the Dog": First, when Melissa leads him and Todd to what she claims is her apartment, they notice that all of the family photos are an African-American family with no sign of Melissa. Todd immediately realizes they've been duped, but Tandy concludes that Melissa was adopted by the family and left out of their pictures. Second, after Melissa disappears, Tandy and Todd start driving around Akron looking for her. Todd stops and points to a billboard with one of Tandy's "Alive in Tuscon" messages on it. Tandy thinks Todd's complimenting him on it before Todd points out the billboard is for a realtor's office with Melissa's picture on it. Third, they look for clues to Melissa's home at the realtor and find a magazine. Tandy suggests using the subject of the magazine to determine where Melissa's house may be. Todd ignores this and suggests going to the address on the subscription label.

No Healthcare in the Apocalypse
 The Last Man on Earth / int_fbf08d90
comment
No Healthcare in the Apocalypse: Lack of physical and mental healthcare becomes a HUGE problem for the survivors. Phil (not the Tandy one) develops appendicitis, forcing Gail and Todd to try performing emergency surgery even though they have no medical experience. It doesn't have a happy ending. Melissa begins acting strange, paranoid, and violent, and the survivors realize she was on an antipsychotic medication that's run out. They end up having to keep her restrained while desperately searching for the right meds. Erica gets pregnant and has to give birth in an office building (assisted by Gail, who has PTSD from her previous attempt at doctoring). They have no anesthetic, which means Erica feels everything when Gail has to turn the baby around in the womb.

Blink and you'll miss it: In "Alive In Tuscon", we see Phil put the rug with the Presidential seal in his new house. In 'Is There Anybody Out There?', we see a shot of the Oval Office. Guess what's missing?

comment
Once a Season: Just about every season ends with the group moving away from their current home. They moved out of Tucson and burned Phil's home just to spite him after the end of season 1. The moved away from the coast in California early in season 3 because they feared that Pat was going to hunt them down. They moved away from the secret testing complex because of a nuclear meltdown in season 3. They chose to move away from their home in Zihuatanejo in season 4 after discovering that it used to belong to a drug cartel, and there was still plenty of cocaine, hand grenades, dynamite, and guns stashed all over.

comment
Cut Short: Due to being cancelled after the end of season 4, several questions were unanswered: What happens to the main characters? What happens to Mike, Jasper, Pamela, and Glen? Who were the individuals that surrounded the group in the final episode? What was the origin (if any) of the virus that nearly ended humanity?
