The protagonist is to some extent the epitome of the modern adult man, and certainly probably more of the less successful adult man in every way. Excessive pressure makes them psychological freaks, neurotic, depressive, and of course physiological effects such as impotence and premature ejaculation, etc. (haha). Because these men are subconsciously dissatisfied with their situation, but have no way to resolve and vent, they often become angry with themselves and evolve into inferiority complex and self-denial. This is a kind of social disease. In fact, there is no way to cure it. It can only self-regulate to a certain extent. Like in the movie, it may not be possible to fire the boss and then propose marriage in front of thousands of people to rebuild self-confidence. There's something pleasant about the movie, though, not just some witty humor but something like a mirror.

Dr. Buddy Rydell: So, Dave. Tell us about yourself. Who are you?
Dave Buznik: Well, I'm an executive assistant for a major pet products company.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: [interupts him] Dave, I don't want you to tell us what you do. I want you to tell us who you are.
Dave Buznik: Oh, alright, um... I'm a pretty good guy. I like playing tennis on occasion.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Also, not your hobbies Dave. Just tell us who you are.
Dave Buznik: [stumped] Maybe you could give me an example of what a good answer would be? Um...
[to Lou]
Dave Buznik: What did you say?
[the group laughs]
Dr. Buddy Rydell: You want Lou to tell you who you are?
Dave Buznik: No, I just, uh... I'm a nice, easy going man, I might be a little indecisive at times...
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Dave, you're describing your personality. I just want to know... who you are.
Dave Buznik: [snaps] I don't know what the hell you want me to say!
[the room falls silent]

Dave Buznik: Kendra, even though I'd love to see you take that bra off because it represents a team I've hated my entire life, you gotta keep it on.
Kendra: Why?
Dave Buznik: Because I've got a girlfriend.
Kendra: [she becomes angry] I'm not a child Dave. If you think I'm a porker, then just come right out and say it.
Dave Buznik: No no no, I don't think you're a porker.
Kendra: Well then why when the idea of sleeping with me comes up, you all of a sudden have "a girlfriend."
Dave Buznik: Because I do, I do. I do have a girlfriend.
Kendra: Said the liar to the beached whale!
Dave Buznik: You're not a beached whale! If anything, you could even afford to gain a few pounds.
Kendra: Oh, so now I'm too skinny for you?
Dave Buznik: No, no, no, no I didn't mean that.
Kendra: Is this what you want, Dave?
[stuffs her face with brownies]
Kendra: If I put on a few pounds, would you be able to stifle your vomit long enough to have sex with me?
Dave Buznik: Holy shit.
