I'm baffled... he takes the biggest tradegy of his and his daughters lifes and turns it into comedy gold. That polish woman bit was hilarious!! He's an incredible person and I wish him and his family all the best.

It could also be therapy... Considering he is a comedian and his entire life is comedy, it could be a way to express his sadness that doesn't make people around him sad.

It sucks. I lost my wife a few days before Patton lost his. He's been an inspiration to me and has helped me through the process. It's literally the hardest thing I've ever encountered. Took me over two years just to be comfortable with myself being what I was. I've learned over time the phrase, "It is what it is" is one of the best things I can every say/live by. Being a widower sucks...but it is what it is. 4/25/15 her name was Amy. She rests next to her mother in a beautiful home in Honolulu. Not begging for likes or anything, and I don't do this often...but do think about it. When you've been to your lowest low, okay feels like a miracle sometimes. The best people I know have been at their darkest, whether addicts or abused or hurt in some way..I've never met a broken human being I didn't love.

Given the circumstances, especially the sudden and unexpected passing coupled with his and her young age and seemingly close marriage and young child he actually seems to be healing rather well and rapidly. Something like this you don't "move on" or "get closure" or any of that other clichéd crap. You simply keep going because there's nothing else to do but you're scarred and changed as a person. I've dealt with loss like that and you just slowly, quietly add layers of time and experience without your loved one and make as good a life for yourself as you can going forward.

Death sucks, especially when it's unexpected like that. My cousin/best friend passed away 3 years ago, sometimes I'll just start crying out of nowhere just because I was thinking of something we did or never got to do. The grief gets better, but in my experience, never truly goes away.

@halomasterr117 7 жыл бұрын

yeah it does really suck. before she passed away she had two strokes in her brainstem so her brain was damaged beyond repair, for 3 months we pretty much just was in denial that she would come back until I made the decision with my dad to let her go. it gets easier, but the pain will never go away. which is fine. it changes someone. i also notice that nobody really "gets" it unless if it happens to them. losing a parent in your 20s is totally different than losing him/her in your 40s or 50s. especially if it's something as sudden as this. but thanks for the support everyone, really appreciate it.

he's neither, he's a comedian and he uses comedy to cope and it fits perfectly in this setting. He's perfected his comedy mode over the years i guess. He is most likely a wreck when he's alone. His appearance kind of gives it away and it's understandable.

@trekkiejunk Жыл бұрын

What's funny is that he made a joke about his daughter's friend having "a new mommy" right after her parents separated, but how he's only thinking about mourning his wife right now. Patton himself got engaged less than a year after his wife's sudden death. Not judging, as love comes at us at weird times. But seems a bit hypocritical to make the joke, and then get engaged while your wife's corpse is still warm.

@Braskypants1 7 жыл бұрын

I was seriously worried about the guy as well. He spoke about dealing with depression in his routines a lot. He also spoke about how his wife saved his life or something to that effect. Good to know he has a strong support group through all of this, but damn he has to be in so much pain still. Humor is a strong coping mechanism, so when you're as funny as Patton, I would imagine that helps a lot.

This is kind of strange to me. There was parts I laughed at which I guess(????) is the point, but you all do realize that (1) the questions are rehearsed and (2) even then, no talk show host ever in a million years would think to ask a widower about their spouses death on live TV, even if it were rehearsed. Which means that Oswalt himself wanted to make it a topic on the show. But it could be his way of coping I guess.
