History Creator / PattonOswalt

* TheAtoner: After a lifetime of making fun of and sneering on people who wear sweatpants in public, he had a kid. Suddenly he totally understood, and dedicated a bit to how wonderful they are.

** Also included a gravy pipe, and a name tag with "Peaches" written on it for the bachelor.

* ''Film/YoungAdult'': Matt Freehauf, the nerdy former classmate of Mavis (CharlizeTheron) whom he forms an unusual bond with.

* RefugeInAudacity: The track "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5dV2j3EXO0 Wackity Schmackity Doo!]]" on ''Werewolves And Lollipops'', where he talks about [[ItMakesSenseInContext adding jokes to footage of the Holocaust and 9/11]].

** His bit on ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. In order to stop a bill from being passed, he decides to filibuster, and what does he talk about? His proposed script for Star Wars episode 7, in which he has it cross over with the Marvel universe and has Luke Skywalker fight the Avengers and X-Men. He goes on for almost nine minutes, and the entire sequence is thought up right on the spot. The cast actually cheers for him when he manages to finish.

He goes on for over 10 minutes, and the entire sequence is thought up right on the spot. The cast actually cheers for him when he manages to finish.

* ''Series/TheKingOfQueens'': Spence Olchin, Doug's nerdy friend.

* ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'': Psychopath Randy Tugman, a fat, Internet-addicted virgin using a ZombieApocalypse as a chance to get women.

* ''BigFan'': Paul Aufiero, a lonely Giants fan who is beat up by one of his favorite players in a nightclub. A good example of TomHanksSyndrome.

* {{CrazyAwesome}}/{{CloudCuckoolander}}: Patton sent in over-the-top movie reviews to AintItCoolNews under the pen name "Neill Cumpston." No one figured out who it was until Oswalt admitted it months later. It was definitely GushingAboutShowsYouLike, and you only wish they printed his quotes on the posters.
-->'''Neill, in a review of 300''': I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.

Significant Roles

* ''TheKingOfQueens'': Spence Olchin, Doug's nerdy friend.

* ''{{Ratatouille}}'': Rémy, the protagonist; a rat who isn't content with eating garbage, and yearns to become a professional French chef.
* ''[[{{Reno911}} Reno 911 Miami]]'': Jeff Spode, the acting mayor of Miami, who has to oversee the Reno sheriffs, and has a dark secret.

* ''WordGirl'': Theodore "Tobey" [=McCallister=] III, a ten-year-old supervillain.

* LullDestruction: Lampshaded in "Wackity Schmackity Doo." He relates how script doctoring for animated movies usually involves this, and shows the absurdity of it by applying it to [[CrossesTheLineTwice The Halocaust and the destruction of the World Trade Center.]]

** In a StealthPun in his bit about weight loss, he mentions he's gonna "Exert some Willpower, [[GreenLantern Hal Jordan]]!"
** He fulfilled one of his personal all-time dreams by writing "Welcome to the Working Week", one of the greatest one-shot stories in the history of the ''JusticeLeagueOfAmerica''.

** His bit on ParksAndRecreation. In order to stop a bill from being passed, he decides to filibuster, and what does he talk about? His proposed script for Star Wars episode 7, in which he has it cross over with the Marvel universe and has Luke Skywalker fight the Avengers and X-Men.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: His role in ''{{Ratatouille}}''. He actually has a routine about how much the movie has affected his day-to-day life, and how jarring it is to realize that he now has child fans.

** And if he had a TimeMachine, he would travel back to the mid-nineties and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDCjIjsZp_Y kill Creator/GeorgeLucas with a shovel]].

--> Hi everybody. Listen, I can only do about twenty minutes of comedy 'cause I got this gig in the House of Blues in {{Miami}} and it pays like four times the money.

--->'''Neill, on [[Film/300 300]]''': I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.

* PromotedFanboy: He got a role voicing a character on ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' after he met the show's creators at a convention and told them what a huge fan he was.

* ''Series/{{Caprica}}'': Baxter Sarno, an {{Expy}} of both Jay Leno and [[TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] (ItMakesSenseInContext)
