 | | Patton Oswalt (born January 27, 1969, in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA) is a comedian, actor and writer who first began headlining comedy clubs in 1996. |
 | | Oswalt's style of stand-up comedy is often described as acerbic and sarcastic, and it covers topics ranging from pop culture frivolity such as comic book supervillains and 1980s hair metal to deeper societal issues like American excess, rampant materialism, foreign policy, and religion (Patton is an avowed atheist himself). |
 | | Oswalts famous Quip: ""If you hit a midget on the head with a stick, he turns into 40 gold coins", is remarkably similar to a Folktale told in India in which a Poor Merchant hits a holy monk with a stick, turning him into coins. |
