Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything

I'd like to start by saying I have enjoyed Patton Oswalt's stand up in the past but this special just didn't resonate with me at all. It started ok but quickly fell apart. Even Patton himself predicts that the audience will have to fake it later in the show. At times is feels like he abandons scripted jokes for other bits because the first wasn't getting laughs. This gives the special a confusing feel to it as Patton rambles on about nonsense for most of the show. It just isn't good and pity laughs help no one.

Not hilarious but some parts are good. Never seen his comic stand-up so was not expecting anything. With some bits laughable others boring, not a 100% enjoyable but pretty decent compared to other recent Netflix standups by Chris D'Elia or Pete Davidson which were flop and disaster respectively.

Some of this was funny, not pee your pants but laugh quietly funny. At no point was I laughing out loud, I did not think the Jesus bit was funny and not because i was offended ( I was not) it just was not funny. They only bit that was really close to laugh out loud funny was the Denny's bit. When I say laugh out loud I mean I'm at home watching from my couch and I laugh so loud they here me in the other room and come out to see what is so funny. I will not tell others about this but if they will ask I will tell them it is mildly funny and a decent way to waste an hour on a bored night at home.

The hate and most of the negative reviews are mainly due to Patton admittedly being anti-Trump and have little to do with his act. To give you an example: if you read a review criticizing his act by saying his style, delivery and sense of humor is a bit too similar to Dave Attell's... that's a point of thought you might want to pay attention to. The rest of the bad reviews where the main argument is about Patton being a meanie to the orange man... That's not really adding anything to the conversation. Browse through the user reviews on the net and you'll see which is openly biased and which is reasonably helpful. If you're into Patton's delivery, you're going to enjoy this more than his previous specials. It's Patton's best and is cleverly thought through with a lot of effort put into it, yet for me it was just OK. For a day without my girlfriend to kill time, it was decent. I'm definitely not going to re-watch it every now and then like specials from Louis CK, Burr, Chappelle or Rogan.

Of course Patton Oswalt does not everything. Anyone who has seen his tweets or appearances, know that he is not a fan of Donald Trump for example. And I'm not going down that rabbit hole and he somehow avoids it too to a degree. It's almost impossible doing contemporary comedy and not even mention him or the status he has achieved.

But back to this, because as said he this special is not about Trump, it's about observations of Mr. Oswalt. Now you may find them funny or you may find them annoying. Another reviewer said he wanted to like it, but couldn't. And that's more than fair enough. While some will think this is the funniest thing they've seen, others will either fast forward or curse after its over. It's good we have different tastes - not just in comedy. And the special that followed this or was attached to it, was something I couldn't bear to watch. I thought it waas quite annoying - a different comedian, with a twist in his "comeback" performance. So watch the trailer, get an impression of what this is and decide if its worthyour time
