This Netflix comedy special will be available to view on\nMay 19th<\/sup> (<\/strong>netflix.com\/pattonoswaltiloveeverything<\/strong><\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll admit that it\u2019s a bit difficult to review a stand-up comedy special, given that a performer\u2019s style may be hilarious to one person while not striking the funny bone of another. However, with current entertainment options for review still being limited, I\u2019ll do my best to give readers a sense of what they can expect from anything new coming your way. In this case, the program is Netflix\u2019s Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything<\/em>, which features the famous comedian delivering jokes to a live audience in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This reviewer is very familiar with the speaker\u2019s style,\ndelivery and subject matter. For those unfamiliar with Oswalt, his material\nfrequently includes stories from his life that reveal personal observations and\nrevelations, as well as a hearty helping of pop culture references. While there\nare still nods to various franchises like Star Wars<\/em> present in this\nspecial, it does feature less of those asides. Instead, the focus is on how\nOswalt\u2019s life and priorities have changed after turning 50. The stage backdrop,\nwhich includes a fa\u00e7ade of a Californian home, establishes this theme as the\nperformer steps out to start his set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As expected, the stories delivered describe some very\nunusual experiences. Most of it is incredibly entertaining, with some bits coming\nacross as particularly hilarious. Early on, Oswalt tells the audience about buying\na home and the unexpected upgrades required. This leads to the hiring of sub-contractors\nand an entertaining discourse involving the odd behavior of one of the workers\u2026\nas well as the tolerance required on Oswalt\u2019s part to get the best possible\nresults from these eccentrics. Another, darker standout involves his time working\nas a budget-friendly DJ in the 1990s and how some bad experiences were all rationalized\nby his boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet if I were to pick a couple of favorite moments, one\nwould involve the resolution to an argument that Oswalt has with his spouse. The\nbit almost brought tears to this reviewer\u2019s eyes. Another enjoyable tale\ninvolves a trip to Denny\u2019s with his daughter. The quick meal ends up inspiring a\nstudy and analysis of the unusual clientele at the restaurant during off-hours\nand what may have brought some customers to this specific crossroads in their\nlives. Again, it\u2019s another series of hysterical jokes sure to result in\nlaughter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers may note that a second \u201cepisode\u201d is available to\nstream after the special. As the comedian explains to viewers after the\ncredits, this bonus is a 53-minute set performed by Bob Rudin, one of the Oswalt\u2019s\nstand-up heroes. Rubin\u2019s delivery is quite different from Oswalt, with a series\nof wide-eyed, manic, stream-of-consciousness rants about various subjects like job\nprospects for Olympic athletes, as well as yarns from his past about his drug\nuse (including a trippy story about being pulled over by police while in\npossession of acid). For some, his aggressive style will take some getting used\nto, but there is plenty of funny and astute commentary found within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Patton Oswalt: I Love Everything<\/em> may be focused more on the trials of turning 50 than it is on pop culture jokes, but it provides plenty of funny stories over its running time and serves as an amusing stand-up set for anyone in need of a humorous escape. And due to the subject matter, it may even be more accessible to those who aren\u2019t up on their Star Wars<\/em> references. If you enjoy the comedy of this particular artist, then this latest effort is most certainly worth your while. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
