Patton Oswalt has been on a hot streak as both a comedian and an actor for the past several years: ringmaster of the Comedians Of Comedy tour, voice of the cartoon rat in Ratatouille, and most recently star of ex-Onion editor Robert Siegel's film Big Fan and a recurring character in Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica. His new comedy CD, My Weakness Is Strong!, is as hilarious as ever, capturing his smart, geeky, sarcastic observations on everything from impending fatherhood to the absurdity of religion to grocery-store robots that make you do all the work. Onstage, online, and on his albums, Oswalt zeroes in on a joke with the focused intensity of a laser, burrowing through the surface until it’s so funny it hurts.
