""222" is the 2-disc uncut version of this standup set. Its a full 2-discs, but it is non-stop funny. If you know that you like Patton's standup (from watching Comedians of Comedy, or his Comedy Central special) save yourself the trouble and get 222. Its only sold through a smaller site (or at indy record stores, apparently) you can find that if you go to Patton's website.
So, really, there's no reason that you shouldn't buy this CD, but if you want the "full" Patton Oswalt experience, hunt down a copy of 222 while you still can!"

"Patton Oswalt is one of the best comedians going today. The reason: he has respect for comedy. This CD is a perfect example of that respect. In comedy, you can pull no punches. You can't lay off people because they are the president, or metally retarded...or both. Patton's gift is in his descriptive phrasing. He gives so much description into the scenes he paints that you can almost see it. It makes the joke even funnier because you are using almost every single sense you have in order to experience the joke. His best bits are hilarious:
His take on Black Angus and steak in general
80's Metal
Robert Evans on ESPN(anyone who heard those spots will crack up with laughter because it is essentially true)
Bad porn advertising
And my favorite bit...Stella D'oro breakfast treats!(I remember those ads!)
I recommend that you listen to this CD in your house sitting down. Do not use while driving because you will have an accident. Keep it up, Patton. I can't wait to hear another CD."
What A Great CD

"Patton Oswalt is a sheer comic genius. This CD of his proves it once and for all. I've heard a lot of his routines, and the unique thing about him is that he doesnt have the exact same routine with the exact same jokes on all of them. Most comedians have the same jokes over and over, which is usually okay because they're traveling to different audiences who havent heard them yet. But he's so creatively funny, he makes me laugh louder, longer, and most frequently than any other comedian i've heard in a while, and i listen to almost any big name comedian out there. be it lewis black or jerry seinfeld, george carlin or denis leary, patton oswalt has the better jokes in his routine. this is a must-get if you are into good comedy."
Just as funny the first, fifth or twentieth time

"I'm a huge fan of Patton's stand-up and have seen him perform live many times, so few of these routines were new to me. (The porn spam bit was one I hadn't heard before.) But what separates good comedy from great comedy is its repeatability, and that's what makes this CD a must-buy. I still laugh and laugh at classic Oswalt bits like "80's Metal," "Steak" and "Your Moment of Irony." And "Robert Evans" slays me every single time. If you're new to Oswalt's stand-up, buy this CD and enjoy what you've been missing; if you're a long-time fan, you'll be glad for the opportunity to be able to listen to Patton without a two-drink minimum."
THE BEST

"Most masterful turn of phrase in the comedy world.
Hilarious, dark, wonderfully bizarre.
If you don't find this funny, turn yourself in and get a new you. You're broken."
