Patton Oswalt Rips TV Network That Fucked Up His Comedy Special
Last night, TV network EPIX was supposed to premiere Patton Oswalt's new comedy special online. But something went wrong and the special didn't air. Oswalt, as you might expect, was not pleased and took to Twitter to let EPIX know exactly how badly they fucked up. And then—to really rub it in—he tweeted some fake material from the show, including references to Judy Blume, Led Zeppelin, his own naked body, and Pulp Fiction.
Uh, yeah...sorry guys. @EpixHD fucked up. My special airs TOMORROW night, 10pm EST. NOT tonight. Watch @parksandrecnbc instead.

Countdown clock: finished. Special: unavailable. This is fucking embarrassing. Sorry, everyone. Guess we'll try again tomorrow night.

Hmm... The countdown clock was a failure. Just 'cause @EpixHD is completely incompetent, doesn't mean you, the customer, should suffer...

Right now, I'm going to Tweet as much of my first (and last) @EpixHD special as I can remember. Here goes...

Okay, so, Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" plays in its entirety (250K). Fog. During the closing riff, I rise from the floor, nude... #special

...except for a Milwaukee Brewers cap and a throat amulet with the word "STRYOFOAM" and one of those "slash/circle" symbols over it.

Then I recite the 3rd chapter of @judyblume WIFEY while goose stepping through a tiny model of Bonn, Germany made of Legos.

I then do twenty minutes of soap bubble sculptures while T'Pao's "Heart and Soul" plays on a loop (2K)...

...and I finish with an impression of Rhea Perlman doing Jule's speech from the end of PULP FICTION. More fog. Throw Brewers cap to crowd.

It would've been glorious. Thanks for nothing, @EpixHD. Learn to run a fucking website. (Drops mic)

And now they just put it up on their fucking website. Seamless launch, @EpixHD. GODDAMIT: http://t.co/wZcuKDk2BT
