Later next month, I am going to see Patton Oswalt live. In celebration of this grand event, I present to you 5 of my favorite Patton Oswalt jokes.
5. Tivo
I think this is a pretty great, short introduction to Patton Oswalt. It’s off his first album, Feelin’ Kinda Patton, and includes excellent analogies for his new favorite invention. Grape Job!
4. Rats & Orgy
This is actually two different bits from his new album, My Weakness is Strong, but it’s all in one video and they segway nicely into each other. This is pretty amazing since one is about Rats and the other is about an Orgy. The description of the appearance of the rat and what happens to it is incredible. Ditto for the realization and explanation of social protocols in the Orgy.
3. At Midnight I will Kill George Lucas with a Shovel
Off of my favorite Patton Oswalt album, Werewolves and Lollipops, this is actually the first Oswalt joke I ever heard. If you have any anger about the Star Wars prequels, then you will love this video. You will also never view Angelina Jolie the same.
2. Sky Cake
Also off of My Weakness is Strong, Sky Cake might be my favorite explanation for the origin of religion. I’ll probably use this argument next time I find myself in a theological debate.
1. America has Spoken
Off of Werewolves and Lollipops, America has Spoken is probably the most famouse Patton Oswalt bit. Someone is finally able to put in to words the feelings most of us have about KFC’s Famous Bowls.





I’m a fan of “The Magician,” and anything related to anything involving Christmas pop-culture (The Christmas shoes bit, The Chipmunk Song played at half-speed big).
The term “Wave of Fuck Fumes” simply has me in stiches!
The Oswalt is funny lols.
