As big fan of Oswalt and his stand up, I was waiting for this special like a kid Christmas. However, even after watching it twice, I couldn't name a single joke from it, because they are quite forgettable. I don't think I had one proper belly laugh, unlike I usually do with Oswalt. Maybe a couple of chuckles, tops. The special just was a bit...meh. Not the quirky, funny and unexpected material I'm used to expect.

And the Rubin set? Wtf did I just see? It was so weird and loud, I couldn't even finish it. Did some AWOL patient from the local loony bin just happen to wander off and bump into a live microphone? It genuinely sounded like the ramblings of a mental institute resident. The set wasn't Oswalt's in all fairness, but his decision to pair it with his special seems questionable, to say the least.

Somebody should tell Ms. Slate, that being self-harm-inducingly annoying does not equal funny in any culture or language. Referring to her as one, is not only an insult to any comedian, but also to the definition of the word itself. Absolute garbage.
