Feelin' Kinda Patton

Rating:

The other posters aren't kidding -- it's actually not safe to drive while listening to this. I really did almost go off the road, I was laughing so hard.

I don't know if most of the other reviewers are old enough to remember playing around with LPs and/or The Chipmunks. But for us boomers, "My Christmas Memory" is sidesplitting. My brother and I both can listen to it again and again and laugh til we cry each time. "Steak" and the one about Open Night Mike are equally wonderful. Thanks, Mr. Oswalt.

Mr. Oswalt is a great story teller, mimic and funny man. For me not all of his stuff is ha ha funny. But I really enjoy just listening to him. He is very intellegent, on point and amusing.

Taboo subjects aren't cutting it in comedy any more. They're slowly being eroded away by overuse and mere shock value. What truly shocks us any more? While Patton Oswalt deals with a number of taboos, he does it with an incomparable imagination and a faculty of language. This is what comedy needs in order to evolve.

I bought this CD, returned it because it skipped like crazy, replaced it with a new one and it skips like crazy. That's why I'll only give it 4 stars.

This CD is the worst "comedy" CD I have ever heard. Yet the reviews on here mostly claim it was hilarious????

Ok, I've come to the conclusion, the only people writing positive reviews on Amazon MUST be the people trying to sell the junk.

I've seen this guy on some tv shows, and on comedy central, and he's a somewhat funny guy, but it is painful to listen to this CD. You can feel the awkwardness of the crowd, not knowing if or when to laugh. And it continues throughout the entire CD. There don't seem to be any jokes on the CD at all. It is all disconnected negative rants from a bitter angry human being.

Don't believe me? Then go ahead and waste your money on this horrible piece of junk, and see for yourself.

Like my review title says, Do NOT read the positive reviews. Just read the negative ones, and decide how credible they seem. Then make your decision to buy or not buy.

"222" is the 2-disc uncut version of this standup set. Its a full 2-discs, but it is non-stop funny. If you know that you like Patton's standup (from watching Comedians of Comedy, or his Comedy Central special) save yourself the trouble and get 222. Its only sold through a smaller site (or at indy record stores, apparently) you can find that if you go to Patton's website.

So, really, there's no reason that you shouldn't buy this CD, but if you want the "full" Patton Oswalt experience, hunt down a copy of 222 while you still can!
