THE BEST Patton Oswalt

Let’s face it. 2020 will go down in the history books as one of the worst years in modern history. While it’s too soon to turn the year into a big-screen adaptation, Screen Junkies created a trailer for it anyhow, with a little help from guest narrator Patton Oswalt.

“I will actually know real happiness when I run into it again.” Patton Oswalt recently won an Emmy but it felt empty without his wife, who passed away earlier this year. At Conan, he articulated how his loss caused a profound shift in his understanding of happiness.

Patton Oswalt pokes fun at True Detective’s Rust Cohle, philosophising with a statement which coincidentally is the name of his upcoming Comedy Central special “Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time.” Also, there are five dimensions.

In this sketch from the 2014 Spirit Awards, Patton Oswalt and 5SecondFilms simultaneously poked fun at the stripped-down style and pretension of some independent films, hipsters and crowdsourcing sites like Kickstarter.
