Patton Oswalt is one of the figureheads of the "alternative" standup scene of the early 2000s, but a star turn as the voice of Remy in the 2007 Pixar film RATATOUILLE introduced him to an entirely new and younger audience. For the kiddies, however, his 2007 comedy album WEREWOLVES AND LOLLIPOPS most certainly ain't. Oswalt lobs merciless, profanity-laden, venom-soaked barbs at everyone and everything from Paris Hilton and Jon Voight to Cirque Du Soleil and KFC's Famous Bowl (he calls it "a failure pile in a sadness bowl"). He is, however, most effective--and indeed relatable to--when he implicates himself in the very ignorance and stupidity he rips into. Oswalt might feel the need to turn on himself now and again, but he's far too quick-witted, gleefully absurd, and outright smart for self-loathing--even if he did once eat one of those sadness bowls.
