Postal skewers politicians, cults, and terrorists with equal-opportunity absurdity, rejecting all identity politics and systemic messaging. The result is neutral, story-first entertainment with a 0/10 woke score.
Postal (2007) delivers an unapologetic black comedy that targets sacred cows across the political spectrum through its absurd plot involving the Postal Dude allying with cult leader Uncle Dave to hijack shipments of Krotchy dolls, only to confront Al-Qaeda terrorists under Osama bin Laden portrayed by Larry Thomas who intend to infect the toys with bird flu.
The narrative opens with a crude 9/11 hijacker sequence joking about heavenly virgins and concludes with President George W. Bush and bin Laden holding hands as mushroom clouds erupt, while also lampooning obesity, cults, and politicians without invoking any notions of systemic oppression or identity-based victimhood.
This equal-opportunity mockery ensures no ideological favoritism toward progressive causes. Director Uwe Boll framed the project explicitly as a stand against political correctness, aiming for humor that offends all sides equally rather than advancing any social agenda. Casting choices such as the scantily clad cult women and Verne Troyer’s cameo function purely to amplify the film’s shock value and satirical edge, free from any diversity mandates. Audience and critical reception centered on outrage over its anti-PC stance, confirming the absence of progressive messaging and highlighting its role as a deliberate rejection of such trends.
