10	* BannedInChina: The first game was banned in Brazil.
11	* {{Defictionalization}}: [[https://runningwithscissors.com/product/talking-krotchy-doll/ You can actually buy Krotchy.]] And [[https://runningwithscissors.com/product/talking-kunny-doll/ Kunny]]. And [[https://runningwithscissors.com/product/alien-head-shirt/ the Dude's]] [[https://runningwithscissors.com/product/smokey-the-test-monkey-shirt/ T-shirts]].
12	* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: While an exact reason as to why the [[spoiler:school shooting]] ending was changed in ''Redux'' is unknown, a couple guesses could be made, the most obvious of which being the Columbine Massacre happening just two years after the game was released. There's also hearsay about Running With Scissors getting a warning from the FBI and a reported quote of "[[spoiler:School shootings]] have lost their shock value".
13	* DummiedOut: It seems that ''Redux'' at one point was meant to have the [[spoiler:school shooting]] ending, as a [[spoiler:child]] model can be found in the game files.
14	* FanTranslation: While the game did see a Russian release, [[NoDubForYou it was not dubbed to Russian]]. However, some fans in Russia have made their own Russian dub for the game as a mod.
15	* FictionalCounterpart: While there is a Paradise in southeast Arizona, it's essentially a barren GhostTown rather than a passive-aggressive residential community as seen in the game.
16	* LateExportForYou: The exclusive Tokyo and Osaka levels in ''Super POSTAL'' were exclusive to Japan until 2017, when the game was patched on Steam and GOG to include these levels and the Japanese dub, among many other fixes and upgrades.
17	* NoDubForYou: The game never received an official Russian dub, despite every other ''Postal'' game before ''Paradise Lost'' getting Russian dubs.
18	* TheOtherDarrin:
19	** The Postal Dude was voiced by Rick Hunter for the first two games. For ''Postal III'', he was replaced by Corey Cruise. While fans frequently assumed this was [[ExecutiveMeddling another cost-saving measure by Akella]], Hunter stated in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu2i0bd8XnQ interview]] that he was going through personal troubles that killed his motivation to reprise the role at the time. Rick made a return to ''Postal 2'' in the ''Paradise Lost'' expansion. [[spoiler:This doesn't stop Corey Cruise from [[SplitPersonality reprising his role]], however.]] Rick Hunter would be Darrin'd again for the fourth game, this time by Creator/JonStJohn. Unlike the last time he was Darrin'd, however, Hunter had work commitments of his own. With Rick Hunter busy with his work and Jon filling his role as the Postal Dude in ''Postal 4'', Corey Cruise takes the role of the Dude once again in ''Postal: Brain Damaged'', as he was the only voice actor available for the character after he lost his job as a radio host during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
20	** The Bitch in ''2'' is played by Victoria Bell. When she returns in the flesh in ''Paradise Lost'', she's played by Wendy Carlson, and then Ashley Maina [[spoiler:in her demonic form]].
21	** Uncle Dave is portrayed by Mark Davis in ''Postal 2'', but is replaced by Jim Halstead in ''III'', which carried over into ''Paradise Lost''.
22	** Krotchy is played by Marcus Davis in ''Postal 2'' and ''III''. By ''Paradise Lost'', he's instead played by Greg Blackman.
23	* NoPortForYou: Any hopes of a ''Postal Redux'' port for the Platform/XboxOne and the Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS have been squashed by Microsoft, which outright rejected the game due to the series' controversial nature.
24	* RereleasedForFree: In 2019, the original ''Postal'' became free on Steam and GOG, and also come packed with the ''Special Delivery'' expansion and the Japanese exclusive ''Super Postal'' release.
25	* WordOfGay: Played for laughs, so it might not actually be true even though admittedly it's funny. When someone commented under a piece of fanart [[https://twitter.com/CCARKUS/status/1268622887499390982?s=20 depicting The Dude as bi]] that he's "probably gotten jiggy with a guy once or twice", the official Running With Scissors Twitter account responded with "[[https://twitter.com/RWSbleeter/status/1269486004198469633?s=20 He is an equal opportunity lunatic.]]"
