Patton Oswalt: We All Scream

It's a shame, I used to like Patton Oswalt. I had Netflix send me a reminder when it dropped so I could watch it. Hearing/watching him go on a 6 minute tangent/"joke" about clown pubes (no I'm not kidding) right at the beginning that wasn't even funny.... I ended up turning it off. I was so bored, I tried to keep it on and get past it, but it just wasn't any good. I don't know what happened, but maybe he's just not funny anymore. Or if he has outside people writing his jokes, he needs to fire them. It seemed like the audience was just laughing to be polite, and that's too bad. Get new jokes, buddy.

Disappointed.

To be very honest I wasn't expecting much when I put this on but found myself laughing out several times. I don't understand all the low ratings. When foing his routine, he connects with real life experiences and how.most of us coped while going through the pandemic. I could certainly relate yovthe partd of the show when he talks about getting older. We're the same age. I don't watch stand up very often but I'm very hlad I did with this one. I was so impressed I'm going to check out more of his routines when I get a chance. Definitely better than a lot of othervtripe you see on Netflix, Prime, etc.

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've loved everything Patton has done. His inclusion in anything boosts it. This special was so hyped and I was so looking forward to it so perhaps I set myself up for disappointment. It dragged right up to the final disappointing scatalogicsl bit.

Couldn't believe the 10 minutes of front row 'what do you do for a living' filler crowdwork in a special. It's like this review. It is too short so I'm having to add filler to reach the arbitrary minimum. This review is worse for it. How did that crowd work stay in?

Not terrible but Payton's bar is so high and this was not there. I need to go back and watch any of his previous fat superior work.

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.
