In Postal 1, he could be suffering from some sort of schizophrenia, what with his paranoia, (possible) voices in his head and hallucinations. Diagnosed by the Audience: There is clearly something wrong with The Dude, but the games never specify what.note Postal Dude even says almost exactly that, particularly when he kills a black person What you end up with is " I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally: The Game". Even seemingly normal civilians walking down the street can suddenly pull out a gun and start shooting for no reason. But next to that you have the cops being gun-toting thugs who gleefully abuse their authority, the military are thugs with even bigger guns, rednecks are inbred gun-toting sexual predators, political activists are hypocritical idiots who turn violent at the drop of a hat. This would be disgustingly racist if other groups were portrayed as idealized or even just neutral. The immigrant running the local grocery store turns out to be a secret Taliban supporter with several heavily armed veil-wearing wives at the back of his house. The same can be said for the use of offensive stereotypes.When the over-the-top gore whips back around and becomes funny again.And that's not even counting the stuff he does in the actual story, such as nuking the entirety of Paradise for a publicity stunt. A trailer-dwelling, deep-voiced, incredibly psychotic Lower-Class Lout with a total bitch of a wife who can, among many other things, throw a machete like a boomerang, carry around an absurd amount of stuff, use dolls as grenades, weaponize anthrax-ridden cow heads, withstand explosions to the face, use cats as silencers for his weapons, and heal himself by smoking crack. Crazy Is Cool: The Postal Dude is possibly this trope given form.Postal III features Uwe Boll, kill-able in the same way you could kill Gary Coleman in Postal 2.Otherwise, the sequels play this straight. Postal 1's atmosphere may repulse or disturb players. And then there's the third group who find it entertaining for all the wrong reasons. Others find it to be a dull, unfunny In Name Only adaptation of the games. Some think it's hilarious and Uwe Boll's best Video Game-Movie yet. Sure, it's still horrifying to commit mass murder, but now you're committing mass murder with badass grindcore in the background and much more! Awesome Music: Postal Redux's Rampage mode has absolute kick-ass music.The characters are meant to be seen as fictional more or less and the setting is a parody of a highly dysfunctional society where even a simple errand can turn into a life-or-death battle. Anvilicious: In a case of Tropes Are Tools: the disclaimer that the events depicted should NOT be reenacted in real life makes sense as Postal is not meant to be taken seriously.BUT then again, Paradise was destroyed again after Paradise Lost and Postal 4 reveals that The Postal Dude went to Edensin. That said, Postal Redux retconned the first game to be set in 2017, he's out of Paradise with military grade guns and experience, and he's seen fucked up things thanks to his brain damage after his failed attempted suicide, which clearly worsens.That is however assuming the first Postal has it's continuity connected with Postal 2, which is to say unlikely because The Dude is almost nobody in Paradise instead of a wanted mass murderer.

While the manual of the first game hints that the townsfolk of Paradise are under the effect of The Virus and that the Postal Dude is trying to get to the bottom of it all, the presence of a moving truck outside your house in the first level has led some to conclude that he's gone insane because he was foreclosed upon.
