DVD Reviews of Patton Oswalt: My Weakness Is Strong (DVD / CD Combo)
DVD Review: Airplane humor? Really?
Summary: 3 Stars
Patton is known for deriding the stale droves of comics that overpopulated the late-80s/early-90s but when he went into his bit on the rigors of flying I thought I was watching Stand-Up Spotlight with Rosie O'Donnell. Seriously? Flying an airplane is annoying? I think I've heard this bit a millions times. Also, his references to depression, drugs and drinking make this an awkward set: He may be laughing at it but I just feel sorry for him in a way. The references to domestic life dull his edge as well. Most of all, the "Bush bad/Obama good" stuff is kinda played.
It seems like instead of being Patton Oswalt he's just doing what it takes to be Patton Oswalt, i.e. making a joke and then sprinkling some reference to Tom Waits or whatever other indie musician to make the "alternative comedy" connection. It's like he's finally realized how to hit his mark, with his delivery becoming less slick and more like a formula. Maybe it's because this set was done in a theatre for Comedy Central rather than at places like the 40 Watt that it feels so out of place from his regular stuff. I had been watching his new sets from the Purple Onion and Amoeba and heard the Frankensteins & Gumdrops EP and was getting really excited because I was expecting all of that awesome material to be on his next album, especially the bit about Daniel Plainview being a phone sex operator. Except for the Family Crest bit NONE OF IT MADE IT TO THIS SET!
After David Cross became the worst comedian ever with his constant arrogant whining Patton Oswalt was a breath of fresh air, bereft of all the preachy posturing. His impish self-deprecation and perverse witticisms knew no bounds. Now his set is becoming a self-loathing hatefest filled with creepy anxiety and banality. At least we have Feelin' Kinda Patton and Werewolves & Lollipops.
Fare thee well, sailor! Sail the sea of fame, but come home soon!
