physics for poets was the best comedy standup ever. clearly explains my courseload at a college back west. i was a theater arts major. my first year they had a freshmn. interest group. they took us and put us in a group according to our major and you would all take the same classes together so you could study together. to try to get some of our gen eds out of the way the first yr, they had us take some science classes. we would meet in the dorm lobby and discuss how 'it all related' to theater.
"Physics for Poets" describes my fucking University career in a nutshell. "Are the political whims of Obama much like the duplicitous diatribes of Milton's Satan character?"
@Accisma Kill yourself if you must, but I just laughed as hard at that as I did at the clip (which means the animals all ran and hid in another part of the house a second time).
This guy is one of the funniest human being I have ever come across. I wish I could discover laughter like this every day of my life. Instead of the pain and misery that can only subside with the death of another victim.
i too, am an english major, and i also have to take "physics for poets"
what bullshit.
i don't understand why you need to force kids in one major to take classes completely unrelated to that major.
i think it's just a scam to make you have to stay in college longer and pay more tuition, because if i didn't have to deal with all this math and science bullshit, i could easily be done with college in 2-3 years.
@sleepingtrinity lol, u seem to be forgetting a school is also a business (and from your comment I'm sure you been forced into a business class or two) so let's refresh...what's the number 1 goal of a business again???
I love this story, because it shows how different nerds can be. After all, everyone in the classroom is a nerd/geek. It 's just that the professor is a very different kind of nerd than the students. Even though they're all nerds, the professor probably has more contempt for the "English queers" than a non-nerd would. It's like a nerd dipole.
Patton conflates English majors with nerds in the science story. English majors study literature, we read books. We don't dance around garages swinging fake swords. Nerds do that, and other odd things, like cataloging Darth Obi FIsher's weaponry in "Star Trek Special All-Laser Digest Vol. 78." They waste their intelligence on hobbies instead of developing original ideas, seeking an academic discipline, or anything useful. They are also robotic and almost impossible to talk to.
I cant stand politicians and personally hope Obama gets ran over by a mac truck. Who gives a shit, Patton is funny as fuck and is a comedian people. Who cares if you agree or disagree or even get offended at what he says, hes still frikin funny and i dig him. Now stop your whining and crying already.
Plenty of viewers don't feel the need to espouse their political views, and can enjoy the comedy for what it is. Arguing over this crap just snowballs it out of control and detracts from the real fun: Patton's awesomeness.

I love this guy, but I hate his polotics. Bush could have never put a stop to 911. No one saw it comming, but the CLINTON administration could have stopped it. Sorry to go politcal... good comical album.
Bush and his administration were actually warned of the attacks days in advance. The only way the Clinton administration could have "stopped" it is if they had gone Falcon Punch to Flight 11.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They were not warned that it would hit the towers.. they were told OF an attack that could POSSIBLY happen SOMEWHERE in the united states. It did not specify where. There was not a whole lot they could do. Clinton could have gotten Bin Ladin when he had a chance back during his presidency but he didn't. Thus making all of this shit, his fault.
Yep. I went to the same college he did. And while I guess I missed Physics for Poets by a few years, the idea of it having been taught at my alma mater doesn't surprise me one bit. I almost wish I coulda taken it, out of sheer masochistic curiosity.
"If she could get Cancer of the AIDS of the Leukemia of the eyes that would be awesome; if like a biker could fuck that into her skull--" "All right, funnyman Patton Oswalt, let's go to the Sizzler." XDD
