Patton Oswalt: We All Scream

This is by far the worst time i have had since this all started. Patton Oswalt is neither funny or enlightening. He is obviously misinformed. He is mean. Dirty. Folks like myself would be happy to see Patton Oswat's career return to the community theater where it is still above it's rank. Oswalt is not only misinformed, he spews hatred towards those whom he considers dumb but has been proven in recent weeks to be much smarter than he is. Don't waste your time. This is probably the final straw with Netflix. Not only is this simply bad entertainment, it is hateful, full of bad information, given to you by a man that is not funny at all.

I've enjoyed Patton Oswalt in exactly one thing, his minor role in Justified. In it he plays a sheriff of a very small town if I recall correct. He didn't write his own material and the role, while it has some comedic elements, isn't strictly comedic. I don't know if he possibly got his start in stand up but I don't possibly see how, he's just not funny at all. That's quite an accomplishment cause the only people I know of that are this terrible at comedy are Amy Shumer and maybe Melissa McCarthey. Its kind of amazing how terrible some content is, and all just to appease the streaming gods. Our options quadrupled but its like there's less quality television than ever.

I've watched Pattons stand up specials in the past and enjoyed them, I've been a fan of his for a while.

This special however was one of the worst stand up comedy routines I've ever seen. It's hard to believe a professional comedian wrote this material and thought it was worthy of a special. Probably the most glaring issue with this is that there are no actual jokes, just unfunny stories.

Might be worth the watch though because I did get some enjoyment out of the immense second-hand embarrassment each time one of his "jokes" didn't land and the audience was dead silent, which was nearly every joke.

Overall a major disappointment and hopefully Patton can redeem himself in the future.

The special was recorded recently, in 2022, can we stop the ridiculous covid vaccine jokes already?? Or are those necessary to please a certain demographic or the Netflix overlords? After being a big fan in the past, this made me lose all respect for him... My wife and I really enjoyed his previous specials and we loved watching him in other TV shows like King of Queens, but were really disappointed by this special. I wasn't expecting that we wouldn't even end up watching it all the way to the end, but here we are...

Too bad, we likely won't bother with whatever Patton Oswalt ends up producing next.

I love stand up when done right. This isn't done right. I would watch Dane Cook regurgitate other comedians jokes over watching this past 40 mins. He isn't funny, my wife had this playing in the background, i came in and sat down to relax and well was too lazy to look for the remote. After 40 minutes of trying to give it a chance i got up and went outside again so thanks Patton for giving me the energy to be nowhere near you. He just isn't funny, his jokes don't land and all I can see is the two faced back stabbing creeper he is. There have been comedians with scandals I've still found funny but the thing is they were actually talented and funny, no idea how Patton keeps getting roles and gigs. Avoid It isn't funny and its not even worth being background noise.
