** When Jeffrey's crimes become known worldwide, he was surprised to find out he had some admirers. While in prison he receives a letter and money from a highschool girl who mentions him becoming a popular Halloween costume that year, asking for an autograph, and signing it as "[his] biggest fan". Another letter from a man included a Dahmer themed Christmas card, said he was like a real life [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] or [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Kruger]], and also asked for an autograph. This is TruthInTelevision as there are still some people even thirty years after his arrest who unironically admire Jeffrey Dahmer.

** In Episode 8 When Lionel and his attorney mention Ed Gein to Jeffrey in an attempt to talk him into an insanity plea, Jeff recalls reading about Gein in a comic book. Both Lionel and the attorney are dumbfounded at the idea that someone would write a comic book about a real life killer's crimes.

** Zigzagged but ultimately subverted in episode 1. The cops find it bewildering over Tracy Edwards bizarre story of Jeffrey trying to kill him. But the cops eventually agree to help him out but they only agree to go back to Jeffrey’s apartment since he has the only keys to Tracy’s handcuffs. Jeffrey offer to go back to his room to get the keys, but the cops insists they come inside instead of waiting outside, since it’s obviously Jeffrey could to use this chance to escape. Then they finds the trophy pictures of Jeffrey’s mutilated victims and arrest him on the spot.

** However, the final episode concludes that nothing can be blamed for what Jeffrey Dahmer became, and [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse ultimately nothing can justify his actions]].

* TrashyTrueCrime: Both Dahmer's parents and the families of his victims are tormented by gruesome comic books detailing Dahmer's crimes.
