...it's a tongue-in-cheek homage to a "signature line" in the original black & white "Night Of The Living Dead" that occurs when the brother and sister are visiting the cemetery at the beginning of the movie.
A zombie starts ambling across the grounds. The brother and sister (and the viewer of the film, for that matter) have no idea that anything is out of the ordinary, they think he's simply a messed up old guy.
The brother says, sarcastically, in a voice imitative of Boris Karloff, "They're coming to GET you, Barbara..."
30 seconds later he finds out that the harmless old guy wants his sister for lunch. It's a turning point in the script, and I'm sure Simon Pegg named his mother's character in "S.O.T.D." Barbara just so he could toss in that homage.
