* FreudianExcuse: The characters are all flawed in various ways, and a number of them have this to one degree or another.
** Ted is a serial killer as an adult, and he places much significance on his father hitting him as a child.
** Otto was mocked and bullied in his childhood, and he later became desperate and manipulative.
** Dagmar had troubled relationship with her father; when she was a child, a man tried to kill her just to get revenge on her dad. Her upbringing influenced her later rocky relationships.
** Jocko spent an unhappy period in an orphanage in his childhood, and he became a very tough customer later in life.
** Ike's memories suggest that his father didn't give him the understanding and approval he wanted as a child, and that he became obsessed with Hitler due to a vague similarity between Hitler and Ike's father.
** The IRS man saw his dog run over by a man speeding to file a late tax return, so he became fixated on supporting the legal system and punishing cheaters.
** Even Oscar wants, on some level, to get revenge on people after being used and abused in the past.
