Estranged Reality Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I feel this way sometimes. Recently I disabled my Facebook for about a month and a half because I just feel as though I need a 'detox' from it. I really loved how Oswalt expressed his concerns.https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152254538632655&id=10671482654&refid=17Do any of you guys relate to this/ever feel this way? Social media can be like a rabbit hole you fall into and never find the bottom of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXzilla Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I want to know when Patton Oswalt became someone? Like someone famous outside of Comedy Central? He's like king nerd now, so I'm curious as to how he became relevant nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Who the fuck is Patton Oswalt?Haven't had facebook in years. It was pointless anyway because I don't many friends and all the people who truly care about me can find ways to contact me. Also I find it troublesome in a sense that it reminds you of your past mistakes. Mental hurdle shit I guess. facebook is bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like king nerd now, so I'm curious as to how he became relevant nowadays.Well, let's see. He worked the comedy club circuit for many years and built street cred. He was on a hugely popular sitcom as a recurring character. He voiced a character in one of the most popular animated films of all time. He earned raves and award noms for his acting in Young Adult. And his stand-up comedy is excellent and deals with many 'nerd' themes. He also wrote a stunningly good memoir.Who the fuck is Patton Oswalt? Patton Oswalt (born January 27, 1969) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actor and voice actor known for roles such as Spencer Olchin in the sitcom The King of Queens and for voicing Remy in the film Ratatouille.

dalsh327 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think for him it's not a big deal to break away from it because he remembers what life was like before AOL, plus his livelihood doesn't heavily depend on it. Comedians seem to have mixed feelings about social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think he was great in the movie "Big Fan". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I recently stopped using Facebook actually. I used it to stay in touch with people and all that jazz but it just got to be too much. I've been having some minor family issues with my parents and one sister and they've been pretty clearly using mine and my wife's Facebook to keep up on us and our daughter and it was just getting ridiculous. Add in that all my friends are getting to that age where we have very little in common anymore (I'm the only one who's married with a child, and I just bought my first house), we just don't talk as much as we used to, so I just got away from it all. Honestly, it's made me feel better in a way. I use twitter just to keep up on feeds from radio stations and bands for potential concert announcements, but other than that I've just lost the purpose of social media.

Estranged Reality Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 This is one of my favourite bits of his stand-up because it's so true:This as well: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobodys_Fault Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Not a huge fan of his stand-up but I have a lot of respect for him as a writer. Very intelligent guy. Edited June 4, 2014 by Nobodys_Fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
