Title: Last Night, Patton Oswalt Went on an Epic Twitter Rampage and Here it Is Read mo
Post by: EvilEvoIX on April 03, 2015, 05:57:21 AM
I thought this was brilliant satire but a very under rated comic. 

"Inspired by The Daily Show Trevor Noah controversy, the comedian took to Twitter with a 53-part piece of performance art like nothing the medium has ever seen, satirizing the ongoing death of comedy."


Brilliant.


Here it is re-posted here in its entirety:

Only the final tweet was even remotely humorous.  The rest is contrived and belabored well beyond the point of being clever.

Ooooohhhhhoooohhhh! It's a comedy expert! ;)

But subjective opinions of humor aside, the point is valid. I'm so f*cking sick of hearing how offended people are. We live in a society of thin-skinned pussies.

I was just joking, though. I agree that it went on a bit, but that was sorta the point, I think. The article sort of over-sold it, right? Jesus...

Take a breath, buddy.

Nevertheless, as I said, it's a point worth making again and again since every other day some group of pussholes are whining about something a comedian said.

The point had to made.  I agree it is a diatribe but it got attention.  People are being crucified for making any joke that can be considered offensive to anyone and the persons livelihood is constantly being threatened.  Only the cream of the crop ( Chris Rock, Louie C.K.) or those who truly don't give a f*ck (Ari Shaffir, Sarah Siverman) can get away with offensive comedy.


For those looking for a more poignant opinion on the subject, Comedian Jim Norton's take is nothing short of brilliant.

Why didn't you bitch about evo labeling it as 'brilliant'?  I guess if someone doesn't share your viewpoint, they're a$$holes with incorrect opinions but it's all good if you agree.

Go f*ck yourself.

That's kind of Patton Oswalt's thing. He "peaked" maybe 10 years ago. Now he's "look at me, I have commentary on social issues while being clever and funny"
If you can't tell, I'm not a big fan.

THIS POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PATTON OR DEATH OF COMEDY:

It is so f*cking easy to be shocking. Or offensive. Or nasty. Or blasphemous. Or inappropriate. Or mean. Or malicious.

It really is.

I have respect for folks who are actually witty.

To be witty AND offensive?

That's even better. But it really requires skill and wit to pull it off.

To simply be offensive and think you are doing something worthwhile?

Pathetic.

And sad.

Happy Jesus Friday.

   That's true, and if you don't follow those specific ideologies people try to get you fired or even get your kids taken away.  You have to tow a specific ideology or they try to destroy you.  As Norton stated they have become what they hate and are the bullies, the thought police, the race baiters, and the like.

Gawker wanted to destroy this guy, Gawker loves sticking their noses up peoples asses and pull out information out of context and simply shaming these people over what they deem offensive.  It's sickening

Haha...Jesus man, take a step back and calm down. I said I was joking. I guess I should've double-winky-faced to make that clearer. God damn! ;) ;) ;)

You sure added a lot of conjecture into my post. You also missed the part where I said they oversold the whole thing. But hey, rage on, pal!

You're a f*cking moron!  But I'm only kidding, so we're good, right?  RIGHT?!?

If only I could share your opinion that Patton Oswalt is the funniest guy in the world, then we could be besties.  :lol:

Here's what one innocent comment said to you:

-You're an a$$hole with incorrect opinions.
-You should shut the hell up and screw off.
-My opinion is that Patton Oswalt is the funniest guy in the world.

I understand that things can get lost in translation on forums, but Jesus Christ! Clarifying ahead of time that it was a joke apparently doesn't cut it so I guess need to be more delicate with how I address you in the future so I don't call down the thunder!

I'm not sure why you're being such a hardass about this, especially since I've gone on record as a fan of yours, but I give. Uncle. You win. Congratulations! I've insulted you, however unintentionally, and for that I apologize...I suppose.

f*cking hell...

My purely subjective conjecture on this little spat...

Jlued: look at this thing!

Necro: that thing sucks.

Jlued: *slightly patronizing sarcastic remark* but anyway...

Necro: Go f*ck yourself.

That escalated quickly, eh?  Maybe he's getting his panties in a twist to be ironic in a thread for bitching about how people get their panties in a twist too much.  Though this isn't the first time Necro's dropped a bummer bomb on a thread...maybe he just needs hugs?

Either way, the one that resorts to dismissive cursing first is the clear loser.

When I read something that says "Epic",  "Twitter" or "Rampage" I think of dick pics and Rampage on the Master System.  I never had a chance to own the Master System version of rampage.. but I hope to change that fortune someday...  I mean, I've got the NES one, but it pales in comparison to the power of the Master System.  Or so I've heard.

All in all, a pretty big let down on this thread.  No dick pics, no rampage.... super sad.

Man that game was great. I can't tell you how many quarters I dropped into that arcade game. I think I played it on NES as well, but nothing was as great as the arcade version.

One could argue it was more clever than Oswalt's attempt at irony, no?  Whatever it was, jlued sure ate it up.

Either way, the one that resorts to dismissive cursing first is the clear loser.

If you can't handle naughty words, stay off the internet or at least confine yourself to your frozen fan forum.

P.S. - Go f*ck yourself.

There you go with the assumptions again.  Did I say I couldn't handle it?  Sometimes I'm surprised nobody's called me out for using the wordy derds...but then I remember Arkhan posts here. Lol

I just found it odd that your eloquently delivered critique on Oswald's rant was followed up with such an inarticulate dismissal.

Sorry, but if you can't win your arguments without cursing, then you're a dolt.

Also, I've yet to see Frozen.  Since you mentioned it & have therefore clearly seen it, is it any good?  I don't really do the CGI Disney stuff so I've avoided it thus far...

I am indeed a crabby motherf*cker, but that's neither here nor there; and now that you've said the f-word, VenomMcDouche thinks we're both idiots.  But that's okay - he still looks cute in his blond wig and long, blue dress.

Whatever this shit is, it's funny.... to me anyway.  It sure is easy to get all worked up over very little and to keep beating a dead horse, even after you've claimed to have given up.

Whatever this shit is, it's funny.

As someone who gave my unsolicited opinion on your little hissy fit, I agree.  And cursing doesn't make you stupid - defending yourself with curses is stupid.  Pardon me, f*cking stupid.  Maybe that'll get the point across to you.

Mainly I just wanted to call you out & get your goat for being a Bitchy McCrabby-Crybaby-Pants.  And it worked.  ^-^ And to add to my satisfaction, you childishly accused me of being girly.  This is 2015; how is that an insult anymore?

And for the record, it's apparent you don't know me at all.  I prefer brunette/black for my wigs, or something with a vibrant color like purple or blue.  I like my dresses in black or burgundy, because I'm a classy bitch.  I like to be pretty sometimes.

I'm not seeing any insults coming your way. "Crabby motherf*cker"? Is that an insult? "Sensitive"?

Dude, what the hell?  I've gone out of my way to say, hey, I meant nothing by my comment and that I've been a fan of yours on this forum. Most people would respond, "Hey no problem. It was a misunderstanding." But nothing seems to appease you.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm continuing either, other than I'm completely baffled by this whole thing. You're like a riddle. So sure, let's continue the circle-jerk.

You know what? On second thought: sorry for stringing this along. And Necro: sincerely, sorry if I insulted you with anything I posted after the original "comedy expert" thing, which I swear was not meant to insult. If I came off as passive-aggressive, it's just because I was surprised by how this all turned out. So yeah: sorry.

I'm just going to pretend this was a meta-commentary on the original topic, let it go at that, and go have a few drinks.

Juled and Venom, Necro told me you should both move to one of those states where weed and interspecies unions are legal, then secede from the forums.

If he said that, I'd just send more good vibes his way.

You hear that, Necro? I'm just gonna love you more!

But on an unrelated note: I like "Juled". I created my account over a decade ago and wish I could change my stupid profile name.

Post by: VenomMacbeth on April 06, 2015, 12:33:52 PM
Doesn't Joe live in one of those states? ;)

Anyway, weed is fine, but the interspecies union would be a little harder to explain to my kid...

And secede?  No way!  I'm not trying to start my own Duoph--ermmm...ahem, FORUM, myself.  This circus is enough entertainment for moi. 

But in all honesty, no hard feelings to anyone my post may have offended.  Even you, Necro.  I didn't mean to insinuate that you're a cunt, but even if I did, always remember this: balls are sensitive, but a pussy can take a pounding!
