This guy stole Patton Oswalt's material...

[Indoor Living]

and has been caught with his pants down. Patton is not happy, and it's completely understandable. Some douche named Nick Madson did a set that was recorded on Youtube, and he recited (VERBATIM!) about 7 or 8 of Patton's bits. As a huge Patton fan, I am extremely angry at this guy, and am glad he is being confronted. Patton has two blog entries on the topic, how it went down, and it's extremely hilarious and angry. I hope this asshole gets what is coming to him. Here are the links to Patton's Myspace blog:

Assholery! (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=67077201&blogId=533681759)
and
Thievery! (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=67077201&blogId=533643624)

Like I said before, it really pisses me off that someone would do this. However, Patton writes like he gives stand-up, and because of that, fans of his will still get huge laughs out of these entries.

[Mibabalou]

wow

soo lame

dude is terrible at telling the jokes anyways

[KellyGleason]

Caught in a lie! This is scandalous!

[Mibabalou]

ill just post the videos

dude stole word for word

[underdawg1119]

I don't think I have ever seen someone steal jokes verbatim like that. Usually they'll try to cover it up or put their own spin on it, but fuck. What an idiot. I know Patton's no Carlin or anything, but it's not like he's some schmuck no one's ever heard of. This dickbag had to know he was going to get caught.

[anthonydarko]

Wow what a loser. He sucks at telling them too.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I love Oswalt and I'm glad he's taking big initiative over this

[eraserhead]

I was under the impression that all comedians borrow from each other's work to some degree. But blatantly stealing material, word for word, is pretty ridiculous.

[drawndead]

Wow what a douche bag. The best part of the blog is when he calls out a certain comedian for telling Louis CK jokes to sold out stadiums haha


Oh and if you type in "Nick M" in google, this douche is the 2nd guy to come up haha

[NateFoundGlory]

What a cockass.

[drawndead]

Jesus Christ, Nick -- you craven, pudding-spined clitoris of a man.

epic.

the whole thing in that is great

I mean, I can see stealing from me, who’s still relatively obscure. But who would be stupid enough to steal from Louis CK? You may as well take a classic bit from, say, Bill Cosby. Maybe something off of the album Himself, about training your son to be a football player. And then just yell it at the top of your lungs, with no nuance, finesse or humanity.

That’d be mucho stupido.
I wonder who he's talking about hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm der der der

[White]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate pass.

[thesollopsist]

Hahaha. What a dick. I love Patton Oswalt, only just discovered him a few months ago, hope to see some more of him.

[HometownHero]

It's lame for anyone to steal anothers material. I still hate Patton Oswalt though. Terribly unfunny

[knoxgoalie]

What a cockass.

good word haha

You really don't like him?

[JTMcKrackles]

What a cocksucker

Also Patton is the greatest living comedian

[HometownHero]

You really don't like him?
I don't find him funny in the slightest

[Indoor Living]

I don't find him funny in the slightest
What is it about him, if you don't mind me asking?

[HometownHero]

What is it about him, if you don't mind me asking?

He puts out this arrogant vibe that I don't like. And I just don't like his delivery and don't think his jokes are very funny. There is just so many other comedians out there to listen to and watch. But King Of Queens ftw

[sleepyseanzzz]

anyone see the video of carlos mencia stealing bill cosbys joke about the kid whos dad coaches him his whole life in football, and like training and driving him to the game and everything then when he makes the nfl and wins a big game the first thing he says is "hi mom" (that was the short version but cosby said it perfectly)

[Indoor Living]

I love Oswalt and I'm glad he's taking big initiative over this
I can't say I'm surprised. He seems like the type of comedian to not let this go.

[sleepyseanzzz]

i wish i could catch the whole kevin james standup, i dont think he has a cd and u never know who is gonna be on comedy centrals stand up specials until they are actually on

he comes off as a depressed, anti-social loser. which is like me, so thats why i like him haha.

can't believe he used physics for poets. thats one of my favorites.

[Indoor Living]

A lot of 'Sweat The Small Stuff' is on Youtube, actually.

Haha, yeah, some of his stuff (mostly the older stuff) gives off that vibe. I think he's just genius.

Yeah, Physics for Poets is awesome. The fact that the delivery is terrible makes it even worse.

[drewraffe]

what a douuuche

[Scrandon]

they're not funny man

[HometownHero]

I would buy Kevin James stand up

I read your post before the actual blogs, and didn't realize you were quoting Oswalt in the second paragraph. I was like, "I wonder what comedian this guy is."

[anthonydarko]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate pass.
People still say that?

I'm curious to what you mean by an arrogant vibe because I don't see what you mean by that.

[MyNameIsRoss]

what a dipshit hahaha

[ohitsmark]

What a cocksucker

Also Patton is the greatest living comedian

David Cross is still alive.

[*crying stars*]

Glad Patton is actively telling everyone this.

He's pretty good on US of Tara too

[HometownHero]

This is hard to explain. In my opinion, as a comedian, yes someone needs to know that they are funny. But when you show that you think you are funny it annoys me. When he comes out he just acts like he is the funniest, hottest shit in the world. That's just my opinion though so no need to flame me. It doesn't bother me that people like him, I see his appeal. I just don't find him funny

[JuneJuly]

so he stole from Louis CK and Dave Attell too?

[HometownHero]

He's pretty good on US of Tara too

Never even heard of that

[drawndead]

Never even heard of that

On Showtime, he has a small role but doesn't disappoint

[Indoor Living]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate pass.

Cooooooooooooool Guy.

they're not funny man

What?

David Cross is still alive.

I love David Cross outside of stand-up. Some of his stuff is funny, yeah, but he tends to lose me halfway through a lot of his bits.

[jwicklun]

that was painful to watch. Being a big fan of Patton Oswalt, this pissed me off, and that guy is an idiot for stealing from such an amazing comic.

[pth231]

Wow that really is unbelievable. Word for fucking word.

I'm not flaming you or nothing, I was just asking to what you meant by that because that's something I don't really see in Patton's act. It's all good if you don't like him, I'm not going to get all butthurt if you don't.

[Mibabalou]

reminds me of this

I just like his sort nerd vibe to his stand up. His bit on killing George Lucas with a shovel is great. "Would you like some ice cream?"

[HometownHero]

On Showtime, he has a small role but doesn't disappoint
I'll have to check that show out

It's probably his overuse of the word fuck. Dude loses me too, despite his hilarity, due to his excessive cursing and mumbling.

Fair enough. Maybe I'll give him another shot. What's a good special/cd to start with?

[anthonydarko]

If you haven't already, check out Werewolves and Lollipops, which I think is his best. Also try his new record/special My Weakness is Strong, there's some good bits in the one as well.

You should check out the new David Cross album that is coming out soon. I was never a fan of his stand up because it tended to be very drawn out but it finally seems like he has really found his voice. Also it might have been cause I had a hard time picturing him not being Tobias...

[hoser1689]

new David Cross is his most solid stuff yet

[the seventeenth]

That's so low, not cool, Nick. The apology he gave to Oswalt was hysterical once you read Patton's evidence and response. He needs to write a bit on this dude.

[popdisaster00]

Patton is awesome / fuck this dude

[anthonydarko]

I imagine he will, considering how blatantly the guy ripped him off.

What's it called? That's sweet that he's settled into himself. Yeah, David Cross has always been Tobias to me. Haha.

Yeah. His stand up is awesome, but some of the politics and stuff he talks about is way out there and I can't even keep up, but still great.

[Star Slight]

He said the word "hillock"... come on. Like people still general ideas from comedians all the time, and thats extremely douchey, but when you're taking it word for fucking word? How did he think that would be a good idea?

Oh, and is Bigger and Blackerer out yet?

It's on EpixHD.com however you need to get a subscription through a cable/satellite provider in order to watch it :-/

Consider me stoked then.

[Genuma]

i've got bigger and blackerer, if anyone needs it.

[re7ard1337]

i can't imagine stealing material from a comic that is so well known. perhaps if patton stole stuff from this guy he could get away with it, but the other way around is ridiculous.

[Formatfun]

1. Fuck him for stealing.
2. He's boring as hell. Doesn't deliver good.

[Indoor Living]

Apparently it's awesome, so I would totally love to give it a listen.

You have different tastes. Cool for you

[atticus18244fss]

Was outside Letterman last year and looked up who was going to be there. It was Patton. At the time I didn't know who he was but when he came outside I knew instantly. He's a cool dude.

[KellyGleason]

i wish i could catch the whole kevin james standup, i dont think he has a cd and u never know who is gonna be on comedy centrals stand up specials until they are actually onIt's so weird that you mention that. I was watching it last night! His bit about door handles had me on the floor!

[mht]

Patton is great live, he doesn't rehash too much of the same material, so something is always fresh and original, at least the 3 different times I've seen him now. Definitely a great artist to look up to, he is in it for all the right reasons. That said, Patton will/can capitalize some jokes/bits off this guy so basically this guy just signed some nice paychecks for Pattons next release.

[ImTheSheriff]

i've got bigger and blackerer, if anyone needs it.

i'd like it please. i saw the special for it, it was hilarious as usual.

Another thing about Patton that rules in these types of situations is that he's not afraid to step out and say how much money he's getting from it, and that just makes me laugh. Another time, he was getting heckled by these two chicks, and so he just talked about how they're not getting a refund and his drinks were on them. Call it arrogant (many will), but I think it's hilarious.

[ImTheSheriff]

patton's jokes are so tailored to him that they aren't funny when someone else does them.

[Formatfun]

Ironic.
Doesn't deliver well?
Who cares about a slight mistake in grammar compared to a shitty heartless delivery of stolen jokes? Really?

Carlos Mencia is a fucking chode. He steals everyones material. There is a video of that guy from Joe Rogan getting on stage during one of Carlos' sets and just owning Mencia so hard in front of his fans. It's a classic

EDIT: Here it is

Bigger and Blackerer. I am not sure if it is out yet but it is out there.


It's suppose to come out this month.

[Burn_Burn_Burn]

Those blogs were fucking hilarious.
Go get em Oswalt!

[Smash Adams]

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/patton-oswalt-plagiarized-comedian-busts-columbia-university-valedictorian/story?id=10740791
wow at him being plagiarized twice in a month

[Star Slight]

Le Sigh.

EDIT:
And come the fuck on, how do you not expect to get caught doing this. Like I honestly don't understand how the kid could think he could deliver the speech without at least one person in the crowd noticing. Or after it was put up on youtube.

[atticus18244fss]

Just saw that on Gawker and lol'd hard. Didn't anyone realize that class probs didn't exist at the school?

[Smash Adams]

edit: oops wrong Columbia, class doesn't exist and I'm sure his friend he mentioned would be like what we never took that class and I never said that

[jwicklun]

at least admitted it unlike the last guy. still pretty shitty.
