YMMV / Creepshow S 1 E 1 Gray Matter

• Jerkass Woobie: Richie, who was raised in the "Men Don't Cry" school of thought. His refusal to open up about his pain and have just one good cry leads to him becoming an alcoholic out of guilt for unintentionally causing the death of his wife, who ran out of the house during a vicious argument and into a brutal storm. His bottling of his emotions leads to his becoming a ravenous blob thanks to a contaminated can of beer, and as the story ends, he and his duplicates are implied to soon cause The End of the World as We Know It.
• The Woobie: Richie's son Timmy. His mother dies during a fight with his father, which leads to said father becoming an aloof beer guzzler. One contaminated beer and several days later, his father mutates into a Blob Monster that develops a taste for human flesh and self-duplicates at a rate that will bring about the end of the world in six days. And despite how much his dad changes, and how afraid he is, Timmy refused to give up on him to the very end.
