The Couchpotatoes In the description it says this is Patton Oswalt's best show. Well if it is so then I won't watch any other of his shows because I didn't think there were much funny moments in Annihilation. Lately I've been watching alot of stand-up comedies and this one was the one I liked the least. When you just watched a Jim Jefferies show and then you watch this one it is like watching Premier League soccer followed by a soccer game from Luxemburg. Patton Oswalt had a couple okay jokes about Trump, but for a strange reason this show became just unfunny. That he just lost his wife is a tragedy and I honestly think he should not have included that in his show, nor the daughter stuff he spoke about. I don't want to hear sad stories when I watch a stand-up comedy, and that was exactly what it was, and not just for a couple seconds. No he would just continue with that story, adding some jokes that were way too long and not really funny. I guess this will be my only Oswalt show then if this was his best work.

bettycjung 10/21/17. Despite the tragedy of his private life, Oswalt rises above it in this stand-up comedy worth watching. His honesty about the death of his wife was truly cathartic for him but was probably somewhat reassuring to the audience as well. He is funny without resorting to bad language. His observational humor is spot on and hopefully we will get to see more of him in the future.

aquaphoenix Patton Oswalt has been a long time favorite comedian of mine, following him through his career and life. When his wife Michelle died tragically in her sleep in April 2016 at age 46, Patton was faced with the daunting task of being sole parent to their kindergarten daughter, Alice.Patton handles his material with grace, anger, intelligence, humor and honest heart-wrenching grit. I laughed and wept, was angry alongside him and felt buoyed with hope in spite of it all.Because as Patton explained Michelle's philosophy of life as "It's chaos. Be kind" in a bit thru which he walked the thin line between humor and sadness, with looks from people in the audience who were trying to stifle polite & nervous laughter, he brought the audience through to the other side. Because there is no place else to go...Patton's "Annihilation" is the best of what I love, respect and admire in comedians: they bring us to a place out side our comfort zones, encouraging us to look more closely, leading by example that a best lived life, is the examined life, and a life examined with humor."It's chaos. Be kind." ~ Michelle Eileen McNamara

Zawinul Joe I haven't been too impressed by Patton Oswalt's past few stand-up comedy films, but this one is, in my opinion, his best and most hilarious! It's all comedy on or beyond the caliber of his famous KFC "Bowl of Sadness" routine. He somehow puts everything into perspective -- Trump, the world, the loss of his wife -- and does it with such wit and hilarity.A must watch! 10/10
