Caboose is that character.

Think about it. Have you ever met anyone who even acts close to how Caboose does? Aside from stupid youtube commenters that do it on purpose? It's because Caboose is made-up. He's written the way he is for entertainment purposes. Because if you notice, way back in Season 1 he was fine. For the most part, he acted normally. It's certainly nowhere close to how he acts today. The general consensus is that he became dumber as a result of O'Malley being forced out of his head, while having three AI inside his head at the same time (twice, though he was already dumb by the first time), as well as AI always going in and out of Caboose like a fast food drive-thru. Because in all honesty that's easier to explain than any mental disorder he may have.

RT weren't thinking about any sort of mental disorders when they made him dumber. He just turned out that way. So you could try and analyze it and find things it seems he may have, but you're going to just drive yourselves crazy trying to pin down his exact symptoms or something. Because the Caboose Syndrome doesn't actually exist. Caboose is just Caboose.

This could also apply to some other characters, particularly Sarge, because if you find anyone who legit acts like Sarge I'd be amazed. Also, the whole thing with Doc's split-personality-O'Malley thing is bullshit because split personalities don't actually exist. The media just thinks it's fun for them to. Damn Western gets involved interesting to see that never saw it coming also i think Caboose is just Caboose should be a hastag get that trending
