Random Review #44: The comedy album "Werewolves and Lollipops" performed by Patton Oswalt

Holy shit, this is the best comedy album I've ever listened to. Patton Oswalt has been one of my favorite comedians for a few years now, ever since I saw him on "The Comedians of Comedy" tour documentary a while ago. A lot of you may know him as the voice of Remy in the Disney/Pixar movie "Ratatouille" that was released last year. Well, his comedy is raunchy and fucking hilarious. I love him so much that I can't even come up with enough adjectives to describe it. Now, I watch and listen to a lot of comedy, so this is pretty high praise. If you can get this album, do it. It's epic. I love how he rants on about everything over and over.
Also, if you watch the show "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil," you'll see him on it frequently. He's just as amazing on that as well.

Random Review #15: The stand-up comedy of Dan Mintz

The man above, Dan Mintz, is the unfunniest comic I've ever watched. I just got done watching his new "Comedy Central Presents" episode, and I chuckled twice (maybe).
He's one of those types of comedians that serves semi-raunchy one-liners in a monotonous voice to try to make them more funny. I was convinced that part of his act was pretending to be an extremely unfunny comedian, until I realized he was completely serious ten minutes into it. He literally just stands there and recites his lines; no laughing, weird voices, or other comedy must-haves. I'd reccomend avoiding watching any of his stand-up, but if you must, here is his website:
