My Weakness is Strong by Patton Oswalt

I have been enjoying Spotify recently. I will be posting a blog about this new Music Service very soon. Today I listened to Patton Oswalt's comedy album My Weakness is Strong. Oswalt a popular comedian who has found his niche right on the edge of stardom exhibits an everyman persona if your everyman is a chubby, pop cultured obsessed tending to nerd white male.

One can argue the constant language issues in modern stand up comedy which is why I look forward to listening under this same arrangement to Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby but for modern sensibilities there is no doubt that Oswalt is a very funny man.

This album has him riffing on giving up alcohol and drugs, family, marriage and having a child. These are very funny but a few bits are genuine standouts such as Oswalt's take story about Rats in his neighborhood, accidentally walking in on an orgy, airplane travel and a hilarious but about time travel from the days of Obama to the days of Clinton which must is much funnier and thought provoking than the premise might make one think.

If you want to laugh and can deal with the everpresent language this is a funny record.
