Patton Oswalt - "To Be Loved & Understood"

[@emersonlake192]

Eating a good burger and listening to Patton Oswalt would be the shit

[@bgbreakdown]

What Patton wrote about Boston will live forever as a letter to humanity. Luv him.

[@randolphr]

Patton is a brilliant writer & performer. A gifted man.

[@5tran9eMCMLXXII]

That's what I love about Patton -- he's quite the wordsmith

[@technologyisgreat]

When he turns on the camera crew & director in the lobby…"Why do you need this?" My answer "Because only once in every few decades or so, does someone come along who says things or creates things that you can't stop looking at or listening to: Michelangelo, John Steinbeck, Bob Dylan, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There are some things in this universe that are mind-blowing in their beauty: images of star nebulas from the Hubble, that footage of butterflies from that National Geographic show. Taking a camera to show the world footage of you pressing elevator buttons is the closest I will ever get to this kind of greatness or beauty. We all want to hear what you have to say. I want to hear what you have to say. You are my hero." And at the end of that, I would crack like Frank Oz speaking at Jim Henson's funeral ("That's when I knew he loved me…and I love him"), and walk off, crying.

[@jack_rabbit]

boy i sure do love hearing pattons bit with loud beeps over it

[@tummysticks80]

I agree with you, and the choice of music just makes it all the better

[@JoshuaWhiteJW]

You rock Patton...Thanks Thrash Lab for doing this one!

[@MelindadelosSantos]

I wish him well for the people he gives a spark of joy to! :-)

[@DylanRayGMT]

Thanks Keith from ETID for posting this. Gotta love Patton

[@Jack102589]

DO A MUCH LONGER VERSION OF THIS

[@waitingforacentury]

Great video Thrash guys!

[@Xt0tallyXr0cknX]

I really like this guy.

[@TheDissident77]

If you haven't seen him in 'Bigfan" do. He's brilliant in it. So much talent. very good movie

[@JonasPolsky]

Even Patton was embarrassed by the freeze at 9:41

[@KLoWnXXX]

Patton is a genius

[@youngritchey]

Great stuff, hands down the best channel I sub to

[@SlimeYee]

Thumbs up for getting out of bed swimming through calcified layers of self regret and horrible decisions and self loathing!!!

[@thegrumptastic]

omg so dam awesome! love it love it love it!

[@P00P0STER0US]

A brilliant 10 minutes.

[@BommySan]

I wouldn't categorize myself as a nerd, but I would definitely call myself a big Patton Oswalt fan. Funny's funny. ~And that's all I have to say about that.

[@Obiwancolenobi]

Because it is!

[@Obiwancolenobi]

HOLY SHIT! The intro guy plays Dungeons and Dragons with Brian Poshen! Nerd Poker!!

[@BigBrianStormer]

"Look at that office. Look at that poor face" Patton, you're looking at my job and making me sad.

[@persnikity12345]

Welcome to the pre-301 club. Also, great vid.

[@BetaMaxxX]

Julien Nitzberg - Guy does good work -

[@DaniCha]

Was he in The Following??? He looks like the cop in the first few episodes if the series.

[@derblehigginbotham7597]

Is that Grumpus driving a Lexus at 0:52?

[@UpperCrustthe3rd]

"...calcified layers of regret..."

[@quichenovel]

He's so grumpy!

[@frostychickenprods]

He looks like my friends mom

[@Vaporvice84]

Is the guy at 9:08 reading his lines off of cue cards to his right?

[@tho2ea]

"You don't need it...You don't need it."

[@CrandMackerel]

Suddenly I'm craving a failure pile in a sadness bowl.

[@1234kingconan]

I'm curious why the filmmaker chose the fans s/he chose. Like the first couple around 0:03 sharing a burger, and the large man who says something about how he perceives Oswalt as being the "voice" of the "upper middle class"... I wonder if there is intentional irony in capturing these kinds of fans? At first I thought they were poor choices, why interview this guy of all people, but now I think it was intentional. Still curious though.

[@frostychickenprods]

Just to show that his audience is like him: Fat, nerdy, junk-food eaters

[@ErichoTTA]

The Most Triumphant Example of the Sad Clown trope probably is Real Life.

[@itillbeme]

As far as comedy goes in film or stand up. Where is it. I did not find any this time.

[@cinephilefromhell]

I think he was being facetious.

[@JonasPolsky]

That guy at the beginning looks SO MUCH like Blaine Capatch, that it's scary!

[@BenjaminWirtz]

"I couldn't describe Irvine if you paid me". I could, the ultimate planned community, near the beach.

[@BoomboxRocker]

I'm wearing Boots of Escaping!!!!!

[@xx-kv1ix]

it's b-roll, dude. settle down

[@MatthewRayDavila69]

Why are you bleeping it only sometimes?

[@ejjiii]

Patton Oswald

[@MissHalfro]

Punctuated by the woman sitting next to him looking at him like "Whaaaaat the hell are you talking about?" and then giggling. I wonder how Patton feels about being the voice of angst, "oppressed", white, upper-class Orange Count-ians.

[@FatManRedemption]

Pat Tonoswalt.

[@tiananman]

look at you! missin the joke

[@paredown.]

Why is this fucking video fucking censored? You're doing a doc about the expression of an artist, while censoring his expression. Pretty fucking contradictory, wouldn't you say?

[@Benjabola]

look at him wearing those $200 sunglasses and talking about depression

[@WhosFriedChickenIsit]

2:38 , " he taps into that angst depression of the upper-middle class orange county white person so he speaks my voice"...da fuq

[@ii121]

Apparently Steve has cancer.It's like, fuck off, we all have cancer, right? I have cancer pretty bad right now, but I go to chemotherapy, I get it taken care of, I get back to work.

[@brotherjmis]

Ashton Kutcher as the executive producer....interesting.

[@Bobojanglesbo]

what bad decisions has patton made recently? this guy seems to be doing ok these days.

[@SamsGuaranteed]

RatatouilleRatatouilleRatatouilleRatatouilleRatatouilleRatatouille

[@Benjabola]

maybe i was giving him a compliment? i'm sorry you fail to see how a condition like depression would affect your income

[@davidblackbird]

če si srečen in če srečo rad bi še delil z nekom ...

[@steveconn]

Wonder what that hotel room smells like. Patton looks like he's lost in a sea of farts.

[@chrisdavison2622]

Go figure executive producer Ashton Kutcher.

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

FATton Oswalt

[@ToGetToTerrapin]

that's one moody lesbian

[@TodKopfstein]

is patton quirky? lord i hate that word so much i dont even know what it means, maybe.

[@LeavingCaladan]

the trumpet in the intro song is annoyingly off tempo. sorry. unnecessary douchebag comment, i know.

[@silver1shine]

Why do people keep saying he's funny....Iv'e seen him in films, I've listened to his jokes and skits and none of it is funny in the slightest. Normally I don't try to judge as much as criticize in positive way, but seriously people he's not funny and in films it's painful to see him perform. In cgi or cartoons yeah, but in the heavy spotlight NAY!! He reminds me of a city version of the larry the cable guy without a solid backbone of humor clichés.

[@Omnishred]

You say you are trying to be constructive, be you really aren't. The only thing you have against him is just saying you don't like him otherwise than saying he's not funny and reminds you of a different version of Larry (which is not really an apt comparison showing me you really haven't seen much of Patton's material.) He has a contemplative, analytic style that contains a nice balance of sophomoric and nerd humor with fairly eloquent speech to boot. It makes him interesting to listen to most of the time and it is a style that has broad appeal rather than a limited demographic. So outright saying he's not funny is out of the question when he has headlined sold-out show across the nation. Although, you are more than welcome to hold on to your opinion granted that you give him more chances if you haven't already. Ultimately if you don't like him, alas, you don't.

[@technologyisgreat]

"Without a solid backbone of humor cliches" That's good. Did you write that?

[@dpd604]

yes he is funny and one of the top comedians right now...comparing him to Larry the Cable guy ? really ? now that's hilarious i'll give you that...great joke
