So what's an OFFICE fan to do for comedy during this interminable Summer rerun season?
Me? I'm on a Patton Oswalt kick right now. I empathize with his "wow he reminds me of ME" nerd character Spence on THE KING OF QUEENS, I enjoyed his voice work as Remy in RATATOUILLE, I laughed my ass off at his last comedy album FEELING KINDA PATTON, I dug his COMEDIANS OF COMEDY TV show (with Zack Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, and Maria Bamford)... he's a comic book geek, loves Star Wars, and other pop-culture crap, but is also highly educated in the same snooty "English Major" way that I and most of my friends are. In fact, if there's one "celebrity" I'd like to hang out with, Patton's probably the guy. His new album WEREWOLVES AND LOLLIPOPS came out on July 10th, and he's been making the rounds this week. He's got in interesting interview in THE ONION, and is also featured in the latest episode of THE SOUND OF YOUNG AMERICA podcast. So if you'd like to hear a bit about why Patton wants to kill George Lucas with a shovel, how Bush and Cheney are like the Dukes of Hazzard, or how KFC's new #1 menu item is a "failure pile in a sadness bowl," check out the new album. Well worth it.

I\\\'ve been on big Patton Oswalt kick lately, too. And I just downloaded \\\'Werewolves and Lollipops\\\' before reading this post. His riff on 80\\\'s heavy metal videos on his last album might be one of the funniest things I\\\'ve ever heard. The dude was even hilarious on \\\"Emeril Live,\\\" while promoting \\\"Ratatouille.\\\" I\\\'m kicking myself for not seeing him and Janeane Garofalo when they were in Detroit last month.
