Bite Me is a web series created by Machinima.com and FearNet about a trio of gamers and roommates who find themselves thrust into that immortal scenario that they've been dreaming about.Mike is an overworked office drone who has to put up with both a Pointy-Haired Boss and his domineering girlfriend Lauren, who's constantly bugging him about moving out from his roommates and getting their own apartment. Jeff is a waiter at a fancy restaurant who is regularly served abuse by his customers, who he gets a modicum of revenge on by mixing his bodily fluids in with their food. Greg is an overweight college graduate whose degree in marketing has gotten him a job carrying a spinning sign out on the street. Together, they fight zombies... on Xbox Live.But one night, the three of them are forced to fight zombies for real after a Craigslist ad for a new roommate brings them a most unwelcome visitor. Together with Lauren and their neighbors Devin and Shawna, they put their knowledge of zombies built up by years of games and movies to the test.Watch the first two seasons here.

Miles Gloriosus: In season 2, Derrick tries to keep Shawna from leaving him for Jeff by proving that he's the better zombie killer, and can defend her more effectively. He fails.

Failed a Spot Check: When trying to get the zombie out of their home in the second episode, there's a very prominent katana mounted on the wall behind them. Gilligan Cut to them rushing out of the bedroom and attacking the zombie armed with an umbrella instead.

Celebrity Survivor: In one scene, Rod Putman makes reference to a zombified Kirstie Alley going "off her diet... way off." The main group also runs into one Monte St. Clair, a Roger Corman-esque horror movie producer who turns out to be responsible for the Zombie Apocalypse. In order to give his new zombie movie Evilution a killer gimmick to draw in crowds, he hired someone to develop The Virus so that he could put real zombies into the movie.

Our Zombies Are Different: Both Romero-style shamblers and 28 Days Later-style fast zombies are seen, and "jumpers" are referenced in one conversation. Jeff, Greg, and Mike also argue as to what qualifies as a zombie or not, and what movies can, therefore, be properly called "zombie films".

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Season 1 ends with the main characters facing down the horde of zombies outside their house, ready to kick ass. Season 2 opens with the survivors driving off in Derrick's (formerly Devin's) Hummer, with the anticipated zombie melee depicted through a graphic novel-style animation.

Jerkass: Devin in season 1, Derrick in season 2 (initially, at least). In both seasons, there's Roger, the teenage asshole that Jeff, Mike, and Greg have to deal with on Xbox Live. They actually meet him in season 2, where he turns out to be General McRuby's son, and just as big an asshole in person as he is online. The ending of season 2 sets him up as the new villain, seeking revenge for Dad's death.

Product Placement: Mainly for the Xbox 360 and for Capcom's video games (Dead Rising 2 in the first season, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and Revelations in the second). Lauren also uses a Shake Weight as her weapon in season 1. Machinima.com also did cross-promotion with another zombie-related series, the MythBusters/Deadliest Warrior-esque Zombie Go Boom. Two episodes featured cast members from the show testing out some of the weapons their characters used to see if they would actually work against zombies.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In season 2, the backwards-cap-wearing, Hummer-driving bro Devin is replaced by his nearly identical friend Derrick. Explained in-universe as Devin getting killed in the zombie melee at the end of season 1, and Derrick fleeing with the group from the party he and Devin were at (and taking Devin's Hummer and his girlfriend Shawna).
