Step by step:
@pattonoswalt: Why won't the White House release the results of the sticking-a-hot-wire-in-a-dish-of-Obama's-blood test? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
Patton Oswalt is a funny comedian.
However, he played "Spence" on "The King of Queens."
"The King of Queens" blew chunks.
His co-star Kevin James was never funny in his life and only has a career because he's friends with Ray Romano, who is also not funny yet had a series that destroyed the cherished funny memories of Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle.
Jerry Stiller was last funny some 50 years ago. Since he stopped playing off his wife he has concluded that loud is, necessarily, funny. It is not.
Ergo: No matter how funny Patton Oswalt may seem at the moment, one should look at his track record and ask, "Is that really funny, or is that the result of a thousand monkeys throwing their droppings at the screen?"
FTR: He's funny and I congratulate him for getting a few years of residuals for selling his soul to TV, because, given the chance, I would, too.
ETA: Okay, I had a tenth of a chance, but since I don't do standup (Can you believe a classic Borscht-Belt once asked me for more of my material so I could tour with him? Neither did I, blaming his Alzheimers.

) it didn't happen.
