(in which he was great btw). I was reading it like, really? Professional comedians should be able to make you laugh uncontrollably even if you're by yourself. Patton Oswalt just tells marginally humourous stories with well picked words, but he's not really funny.

He's a good example of how the space between professional comedian and funny guy at the party has shrunk considerably. He's like Dane Cook for the nerds.
