That's his way of telling the audience his wife is expecting, and if there's a noticeable difference between this one and 2007's Werewolves and Lollipops, it's that Oswalt has matured accordingly. There are only three distinct geek references -- mobile tech, The Road Warrior, and the video game Galaga -- meaning all the folks who got to know the comedian through the Pixar film Ratatouille will be warm to the material, that is if they're of age, leftist leaning, and cool with making fun of religion (note the great Jack Chick-inspired cover art). Grown-up life means dealing with rodents ("Rats" isn't about the Pixar film but just about the funniest rat story you'll ever hear), house hunting ("Orgy" is an open house gone horribly wrong, as in "fog bank of twat mist" wrong), and shopping ("Grocery Robots" sums up the average checkout clerk's career path with "meth, meth, meth, biker boyfriend, dead cop, technicality, rehab, Jesus, pharmacy assistant, meth, checkout clerk"). Elsewhere he explains how Lucky Charms are pagan tools to sway impressionable youth away from Christianity and that "Uncle Touchy's naked puzzle basement" is a place where you won't wear shirts but you will cry. As returning customers will notice, none of the edge is gone; in fact, his attacks on George W. and religion are fiercer than ever. The jokes may be placed further apart than before, but the belly laughs still hurt real hard and the wordplay, observations, and delivery remain brilliant, often wicked. Unlike Werewolves, the CD and DVD combo here features basically the same show, but hardcore fans might enjoy picking out the minor changes. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dpfoxztaldke Contents (as copied from the CD): 1 Text 2 Birth 3 Fat 4 Treadmill 5 Whisky and Weed and L.S.D. 6 The Sad Boy 7 The Oswalt Family Crest 8 Rats 9 Orgy 10 Lofty Thoughts 11 First 12 Obama...and Time Travel...and Coolness...and the Last Racist 13 Demons 14 Sky Cake 15 Grocery Robots 16 Airplane 17 The Magician

Skip it folks.
It's really hard to watch a great artist fall from grace. I knew the honeymoon wouldn't last forever. Even the Beatles knew when to say when. I've watched or listened to all his work over the years, and this his least funny work ever (at least since he's been recorded). I'm usually in tears by the first minute. Fame, wealth, marriage and kids are not what makes great art. Pain, loneliness and misery are.
This is the beginning of the end. He's officially peaked.

Correction: I just noticed something - it wasn't fame, wealth, marriage or kids that spoiled his funnybone. He's stone sober! He drank liberally through all his previous acts. There you have it folks. Sobriety makes you boring.

Fuck you spunkster, your just a jealous little dick. Patton is hilarious!
You go hide under a bridge you fucking troll.

While I think it's a dick move to piss on someone else's parade--you don't like something? Fine. But STFU because I do like it. But I've got to admit Spunkster has a point. This isn't nearly as funny as his other stuff.
If that makes me a "a jealous little dick", so be it. I'll just be hiding under a bridge.

But seriously, I don't think it's because he's sober--it's because he's happy. He's married and he's going to have his first child and he's obviously in bliss.
That's GREAT For him. But a guy filled with anger is funnier than a guy filled with bliss. That's just simple comedy arithmetic.
