Man, I wish my life sucked as bad as his does. Had a role on King of Queens and Reno 911 along with main voice of a movie. :s

Too bad, I actually like his material. I tend to stray when someone gets really wierd. If wierd is part of your act, then fine, but he seems to be losing it. I accept this behavior from Joe Rogan.

This isn't like that other guy that was actually getting paid to perform and was using oswalt's material. This is a kid graduating from college. Get over it dude.

Agreed. No big deal.

I think he's lost it. He lost a role in a Broadway show, and then a few weeks later lost the lead role in a pilot for NBC. The dude is teetering on the edge. Scouring MySpace videos to look for people hacking his material is pretty damn crazy. But to call out a valedictorian on his speech is pushing it.

I like Patton's material. And the guy has always been a little weird. But I think he's officially gone over the deep end.

Yeah, it's definitely warranted when another comedian is stealing material, hence why I have a great deal of respect for Rogan after confronting Mencia.

But this kid wasn't trying to profit off it. He's probably just an unfunny guy who wanted to lighten the mood for his speech.

its not that big of a deal, but a kid graduating from college should know better than anyone that you have to cite your sources!

If you actually watch the kid's speech, you'll notice he went out of his way to personalize the story, etc . . . . . to me, it shows an astonishing lack of judgment on the kid's part. Kind of frightening that he's the valedictorian, and going to law school at Berkeley.

Whoa, back from the dead. Where have you been? I haven't seen any posts from you in what seems like months.
