History YMMV / Postal

** Postal III features Creator/UweBoll, kill-able in the same way you could kill Gary Coleman in Postal 2.

* ScrappyLevel: The brewery in Postal 2.
** The Military Base to the end of the game are a long string of these in ''Apocalypse Weekend''.

* AcceptableTargets: In the first game, it's suggested in the manual that the citizens of Paradise may (keyword: may) be infected with some sort of "madness plague" (i.e. they're zombies) and that the Postal Dude truly is fighting off evil...well, up until you reach the ending anyways. Let's just say that you're not as much of a hero as you deluded yourself to be.
** Postal 2 lets you shoot Islamic (Hindu? [[FridgeBrilliance Maybe Pakistani?]]) terrorists, MoralGuardians, the game's developers, and shotgun-wielding rednecks, among others. The expansion also includes a PETA-like organization.

** Postal III has all that plus violent anti-porn Hockey Moms and [[TakeThatAudience annoying video game nerds.]]

* DudeNotFunny: the rather blatant violence against certain groups (animals, random civilians, police/servicemen) smacks a little too hard if brought into the light of reality.

* GoodBadBugs: There are several - lighting yourself on fire makes the instant-death fire harmless, dogs propel you skyhigh, and one well-aimed rocket lets you skip the "Confess your sins" and "Uncle Dave's birthday" chores.

* GuideDangIt: When you're off to get the Krotchy doll, [[BossInMookClothing Krotchy]] himself decides to fight you if you're on your way back from the back of the store. And he got a rocket launcher with him. Of course it's easy to defeat him prior to fetching the doll, and [[GoodBadBugs spamming the gas can and setting him on fire, literally breaks his ability to use the rocket launcher for a while.]] He does pull out a shotgun if you did the bug.

* LawfulGood: It's actually possible to play the Dude as this if you go on a PacifistRun in the second game.

** Postal III features UweBoll, kill-able in the same way you could kill Gary Coleman in Postal 2.

!!The movie:
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The opening scene alone undoubtedly offended MANY people and the film just kept going from there.
* {{Squick}}: Dave Foley's penis makes an appearance in all its uncensored glory.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The opening scene alone undoubtedly offended MANY people and is the main reason why the film was barely given any sort of significant theatrical release.

* GoodBadBugs: There are several - lighting yourself on fire makes the instant-death fire harmless, dogs propel you skyhigh, and one well-aimed rocket lets you skip the "Confess your sins" chore.

* ExcusePlot: Everyone is your enemy and you want to kill them all because... well, that bit was excised so it wouldn't get in the way so much. You're probably just deranged.
** In the sequel, you do your chores, mostly by killing anyone who denies you the objective. [[PacifistRun Or you can just watch]] [[HumansAreBastards the world fall]] [[WeirdnessMagnet apart around you.]]
** Postal III is really just about the Dude trying to escape Catharsis, as it's not much better then Paradise.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The Pigeon Hunting mission. The Postal Dude has been given a rocket launcher and told to take out flocks of pigeons carrying disease. The game then cuts to a live-action video where it's shown the developers have run out of money and cannot possibly afford designing another mission. When we return to the Postal Dude later in the day, he is standing amidst ''enormous'' puddles of blood and feathers, proclaiming what he has just experienced as "[[LampshadeHanging the most awesome thing [he's] ever done]]." Also doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

** In Postal 2, you can pee on things. Peeing on people generally causes them to throw up violently, with some fairly advanced liquid physics for the game's time. In one level, the Dude gets gonorrhea, and his urine becomes green and burns when you pee, which guarantees that people you pee on will throw up in reaction. And, in Apocalypse Weekend, it's possible to decapitate someone as they're vomiting, causing it to continue to spew out of their neck stump.

** Even people who hate the games tend to admit the badgersaw is pretty cool.

* CrazyAwesome: The Dude

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The ostriches in Postal 1. Just...the ostriches.

* DudeNotFunny: YourMilageMayVary. For a lot of people, the rather blatant violence against certain groups (animals, random civilians, police/servicemen) smacks a little too hard if brought into the light of reality.

* YourMileageMayVary - SoBadItsGood or completely terrible? Your call.
** And then, surprisingly enough for a Boll movie, there's a lot of people who find it legitimately good. In fact, several of Boll's most vocal detractors changed their minds about him after seeing this movie.
