Cool Old Guy: David's father, whose humble origins as a Polish immigrant made him a struggling and caregiving person to his family and customers. At the end of the film, he gives David all the earnings from his delivery job to pay the debt with the Russian mafia. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Delivery Man / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Several of them as the film zigzags between comedy and drama. The film goes to hilarious scenes like David pretending to be a Mexican and Brett's children sleeping in the sandbox to a teenager almost dying of overdose, David meeting his disabled son and the Russian mafia performing a drowning torture on David. | |

Parking Problems | |
| Delivery Man / int_cf62f907 | comment |
Parking Problems: As a delivery person for his family's butcher shop, David has his delivery truck repeatedly ticketed for parking improperly. He uses the truck to pick up the shop's basketball team uniforms to wear during a team photo, which his family doubts he can retrieve and deliver in time for the photo due to his unreliability. David manages to retrieve the jerseys, but the truck is towed with the jerseys inside. | |

| Delivery Man / int_f8ecb0a1 | comment |
Glorified Sperm Donor: David sold a great amount of sperm to the sperm bank, fathering over 500 people under a pseudonym. Once most of them grew up, they tried to nullify his anonymity through legal means. David sued the sperm bank to prevent this from happening, and won the case. Not long after, he decides to reveal his identity publicly. All his children began to love him dearly. | |
