Patton Oswalt sez… Spike TV VGAs “Godawful”

Patton Oswalt is a pretty funny guy. He’s not my favorite comedian, but he’s better than most who try. Either way, Oswalt recently handed out the “Most Addictive Video Game” award at the laughably pathetic Spike TV Video Game Awards. And he wasn’t pleased about it.
“The worst thing about this show was the fact that I’m the cheap, money-grubbing asshole who agreed to do it,” said Oswalt on his MySpace blog, “The producers wanted me to do “a little bit of stand-up” before I presented the award for “Most Addictive Video Game”. Oh wait, I forgot — “The Most Addictive Video Game…Fueled By DEW!” That’s because Mountain Dew was “sponsoring” the award. I had to say “Fueled By Dew”. I will also be saying it on my deathbed, when I’m begging my relatives to unplug by respirator.”
He doesn’t really go into detail on why the show as a whole sucked. He actually spends most of his time on the award show rant complaining about how insessantly retarded the audiences for these things are, and how he is ashamed to have been duped into performing at this show.

Yet he’s not too good to take their money.
