Patton Oswalt: My Weakness Is Strong (TV Special 2009). 1h 4m | Unrated

“Oswalt has logged some of the more compelling character performances over the last few years with u0026quot;Big Fanu0026quot; and u0026quot;Young Adultu0026quot; as standouts. Turns out his stand-up entertains as well. He brings a broad set of references and flights of fancy to many oft-sown comedic fields including technology and dealing with the wife. To call his flourishes Robin-Williams-esque does not overstate the matter. The material stays saucey and very much adult but doesnu0026#39;t cross the line into the Sarah Silverman shock comedy so much in vogue. It also avoids the pedestrian, family-oriented stuff from comedians most particularly Jim Gaffigan. The set lacks a big ending somewhat chugging into the station on a story of Oswaltu0026#39;s experience opening for a magician/comedian somewhere in rural America. Before that, however, lots of imaginative material and strong laughs. In short, whether or not you are a fan, worth a viewing.”
