As big fan of Oswalt and his stand up, I was waiting for this special like a kid Christmas. However, even after watching it twice, I couldn't name a single joke from it, because they are quite forgettable. I don't think I had one proper belly laugh, unlike I usually do with Oswalt. Maybe a couple of chuckles, tops. The special just was a bit...meh. Not the quirky, funny and unexpected material I'm used to expect.
And the Rubin set? Wtf did I just see? It was so weird and loud, I couldn't even finish it. Did some AWOL patient from the local loony bin just happen to wander off and bump into a live microphone? It genuinely sounded like the ramblings of a mental institute resident. The set wasn't Oswalt's in all fairness, but his decision to pair it with his special seems questionable, to say the least.
