Me i think he is an annoying, lazy and whiny sponge who should be blessed and lucky to have someone like Susie and Arnold in his life and them being as nice and caring towards him when he really deserves nothing but disdain and disrespect from everyone.
shareHe is a lazy scumbag and Susie really needed to divorce him
shareI don't understand how Suzy could stand to be with a jerk like Oscar, he was a sponging and lazy jerk.
shareTo be fair though, Oskar would often redeem himself in the end of an episode. Like he didn't like little baby Oskar at first, but he still took him to a doctor when he got sick.
Intelligence and purity.
I never cared for Oskar for the most part. I did feel some pity for him in the episode where we find out he's illiterate, but other than that...he didn't have much going for him with being redeemable. I'm pretty sure if we had a series epilogue, we'd hear something about him and Suzie getting a divorce.

Except we won't be able to hear Oskar like before since Steve Viksten is dead.
shareI don't see how Suzie could be attractive to someone like that. His behavior in the baby oskar episode was just cringe worthy.
