Id, ego and super-ego
Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction our mental life is described. According to this model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego. The super-ego can stop one from doing certain things that one's id may want to do.
Although the model is structural and makes reference to an apparatus, the id, ego and super-ego are purely psychological concepts and do not correspond to (somatic) structures of the brain such as the kind dealt with by neuroscience. The super-ego is observable in how someone can view themself as guilty, bad, pathetic, shameful, weak, and feel compelled to do certain things. Freud (1923) in The Ego and the Id discusses "the general character of harshness and cruelty exhibited by the [ego] ideal – its dictatorial 'Thou shalt.'"
Superego (podcast)
Superego is an improvised sketch comedy podcast by American comedians Jeremy Carter, Matt Gourley, Mark McConville, and Paul F. Tompkins.
Concept
Superego is an improvised, absurdist sketch comedy podcast presented as a collection of case studies prefaced by "doctors" as a primary example of a particular disorder. Nearly all the sketches are completely improvised in each recording session, typically with one or two characters at the center and the rest of the cast reacting to that set-up. The segments generally run 5–10 minutes unedited and Gourley edits them down to a 3-5 minute show length.
The podcast is presented in an enhanced format that allows listeners to pick a chapter and provides additional visual content.
History
Superego was developed by Jeremy Carter and Matt Gourley, who met at a ComedySportz tournament in the mid-1990s and were founding contributors to Channel 101 where their show, Ultraforce, was a number one series. After finding the video production process to be a burden, they hit upon the idea of audio sketches as a less production-intensive medium. At a bar on the day after Christmas in 2005, Carter and Gourley first came up with the idea of a "Godcast"; the idea then transformed into a clinic for personality disorders in order to grant more improvisational freedom.
Egotrippi
Egotrippi is a Finnish pop group, founded in the early 1990s. Among their hits are "Älä koskaan ikinä", which is featured on the soundtrack of the Finnish movie Nousukausi (2003), "Unihiekkaa" and "Matkustaja", which reached #11 on the Finnish Top 20 and featured on the soundtrack of the movie Kukkia ja sidontaa (2004).

Excuses
by: SparkMaking excuses because I'm just a man
Making excuses for my fallen stand
Wanting more than what is really my share
Taking more than what I can bare
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But I see Your hand, and I see Your smile
I feel Your presence at every extra mile
You call my name when I walk away
You search my heart day by day
(chorus)
Every where I go You are there
Every step I take You always show that Your care
What I don't deserve You give me more than my share
Your loving touch shows me You are always there
Wordly values seek my searching mind
Taking Your time and making it fit mine
Living how I want for others that are seeing
Hoping they will like this
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But You touch my heart, and open my eyes
You reach in and fix inside
You lift my burdens so I can walk again
You came to this earth to die for my sins
What I thought I had was nothing
What I have in Christ is more than something
I still struggle throughout His days
