Patton Oswalt, one of my absolute favorite comedians, rants about YouTube on this Comedy Central “Root of All Evil” video excerpt.
Good to know he’s watching.
Hey, Patton… Forget the sneezing Panda bear. I think Farting in Public rival Citizen Kane.

I like Patton and I love Lewis Black, but I hate the other guy and I don’t think this show is gonna last. And if the only video this guy can cite is the sneezing panda, he’s not enough of a youtuber to do commentary about it. Even if it’s supposed to be a joke.
Oh my God. What is happening to me?
I like Patton too! Search for his Stella Dora breakfast treats skit and his conversation with George Lucas skit.
I first heard Patton on XM and immediately researched him and wrote him a note. He wrote me back, and I’ll probably never forget that. Now I try to respond to every message personally. Oh, no. I don’t do that at all do I?
He’s right, though. A lot of what is on YouTube is junk and I can’t understand why it gets views. And then there’s Nalts, Viral Video GENIUS.
i don’t believe him.
We invaded Iran already? I thought that was scheduled for Sweeps Week.

You have it wrong, MDJ. We invade Iran during the Democratic convention.
That can’t be right, Marilyn. We’ll be invading Democrats that week.
