 Patton Oswalt: No Reason to Complain | PopMatters Television Review
Patton Oswalt may be growing up, but that doesn't mean he has to be happy about it.
For the most part, Oswalt sticks to personal stories -- about his girlfriend, places he's lived, and what he wants from a movie: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best movie titles of all time because just reading it lets you watch a free movie in your head.
The roots of Oswalt's personality are there: absurdist humor, cultural references based in the 1980s, etc. But the sketches are just plain awful, and not in the enjoyably bad sense; they're simply unwatchable, full of awkward pauses and forced delivery and rough edits.

 Patton Oswalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.

 Review: Patton Oswalt : No Reason To Complain (DVD) - Film Junk
One comedian that has not received nearly enough notoriety or respect is one Patton Oswalt, perhaps (unfortunately) best known for a recurring role on “King of Queens”;, rather than his amazing album of a couple years back “Feelin’ Kinda Patton”, or its 2 and a half hour extended version known as “222″.
Instead of a re-release of Patton’s record, which I was hoping for, we have a straight 45 minute feature presentation of Patton’s special for the channel.
A half hour special Patton made around 5 years earlier (looking uncomfortable in a suit) is also on there, and while its nowhere near as good as Patton’s newer material, its enjoyable.

 Patton Oswalt Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Oswalt that has been on stage for over sixteen years is different from the one seen within the warm, family-friendly confines of television.
Named after General George S. Patton, Oswalt was born in Portsmouth, Virginia and spent his youth desperately trying to rebel against his conservative parents—often looking ridiculous or behind the times to friends in the process.
In 2002, Oswalt’s fame grew when he was named Entertainment Weekly’s “It” comedian of the year, which described him as “one of stand-up’s most scathingly literate minds.” Oswalt continued to perform onstage, but such events became less frequent due to a heavier filming schedule.

 Patton Oswalt: Feelin' Kinda Patton - PopMatters Music Review
Comics like Patton Oswalt fall uncomfortably in between art and edifice, achieving a sort of stymied irreverence that doesn't always connect or satisfy.
But Oswalt is more of sprinter than a marathon runner, and therefore is more successful at bizarre, seemingly off-the-cuff bits than the stretched-out sections that slow the album's otherwise quick-witted flow.
Oswalt certainly has the promise to deliver an entire set of solid comedy, but right now he's only halfway there.

Oswalt spoke with The Daily Collegian Monday night about a variety of subjects, including his brand new special Patton Oswalt: No Reason to Complain, which will premiere at 10 p.m.
I purposely do shows in really crappy rooms leading up to the special, because then it's that much better, and my delivery is stronger from having to work my material on these crappy audiences, and then it's that much better for my fans when they come to my big shows.

Oswalt: I’m wary of claiming him as an influence because, if he truly were, I’d be a much better comedian.
Oswalt: Not specifically, but I think they can contribute to the overall process of opening people’s minds and eyes – things they read, talking to friends, hearing a comedian – it’s a snowflake in an avalanche, but it’s necessary.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Patton Oswalt: 222
222 is billed as the "complete, uncut" 2.5-hour live performance from which Patton Oswalt's outstanding comedy album, Feelin' Kinda Patton, was drawn.
Feelin' Kinda Patton hasn't strayed far from my stereo for the last six months, and I'd been looking forward to 222 since Oswalt started pimping it on his web site.
But unless you're the sort of rabid, obsessive fan who starts every day by pulling on a fresh pair of Patton Oswalt underoos, washing up with Patton Oswalt Cannabis-Scented Liquid Soap and choking down a big bowl of Patton-Os, you don't need to own this material in two slightly-different forms.
