Leave it to a comedians abstract view of the world to describe this whole situation so beautifully.

@IAmKillEveryone 8 лет назад

Not to mention one of the most depressed, misanthropic comedians of our time.

@prodigalbrock 8 лет назад

as a comic I can honestly tell you that even though I'm no where near on pattons level there is something broken in all of us. We use the ability to make others laugh and like a leech we gleam some sort of happiness from others. We make you laugh so we can laugh.

@lumen8341 8 лет назад

Indeed, guys.

@Thechangelingpnw 8 лет назад

If he didn't have his sense of humor and be able to laugh, he'd probably be in an institution, because I think this is one way he's coping. He is still hilarious.

@corbelius6 8 лет назад

No he used his comedic skills to shield over the tragic and severe loss of his Wife and still make us laugh.

@FishoD 8 лет назад

It is a normal coping mechanism. When my mother died a week later when I was playing a multiplayer shooter and someone told me he fucked my mom I told him that jokes on him because he is a necrophile and police is on his way. Tragedy+Time=Comedy

Can we all just agree that Patton is an American treasure? I know my name doesn't really allow for me to be taken seriously but the facebook post he had after she died really shook me and I wish him the best in life after going through such a hard time.

@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5 8 лет назад

He took his sadness and transformed it into laughter for us, and he did it without flinching. For me, that's one of the hallmarks of a truly talented performer with a good core.

halomasterr117 Bro I'm sorry. Just remember she'll always love you.

@bucky13 8 лет назад

Death sucks, especially when it's unexpected like that. My cousin/best friend passed away 3 years ago, sometimes I'll just start crying out of nowhere just because I was thinking of something we did or never got to do. The grief gets better, but in my experience, never truly goes away.

@halomasterr117 8 лет назад

yeah it does really suck. before she passed away she had two strokes in her brainstem so her brain was damaged beyond repair, for 3 months we pretty much just was in denial that she would come back until I made the decision with my dad to let her go. it gets easier, but the pain will never go away. which is fine. it changes someone. i also notice that nobody really "gets" it unless if it happens to them. losing a parent in your 20s is totally different than losing him/her in your 40s or 50s. especially if it's something as sudden as this. but thanks for the support everyone, really appreciate it.

@mikerowsdower9896 8 лет назад

I can't imagine dealing with that, and I hope I never have to. He sounds like he's healing slowly.

@munalisa11 8 лет назад

it surprisingly gets better, i was such a mummy girl and my mum and dad died while i was overseas. I was in denial at first , had loads of dreams about them for couple of months then it lessened. somehow my brain started shutting it out.

@logandh2 8 лет назад

+munalisa11 I think we're sort of programmed for it. Starting the day we really understand the fact that everyone dies, it's just a built in expectation that we'll outlive our parents. So, even though it's mostly subconsciously, people spend years, decades even preparing to outlive their parents/guardians.

@vamanosninja4143 8 лет назад

Interesting. I'm having the opposite experience; I shut out trauma from my childhood until a few yards ago, now I get dreams and flashbacks.

@zyxwut321 8 лет назад

Given the circumstances, especially the sudden and unexpected passing coupled with his and her young age and seemingly close marriage and young child he actually seems to be healing rather well and rapidly. Something like this you don't "move on" or "get closure" or any of that other clichéd crap. You simply keep going because there's nothing else to do but you're scarred and changed as a person. I've dealt with loss like that and you just slowly, quietly add layers of time and experience without your loved one and make as good a life for yourself as you can going forward.

@logandh2 8 лет назад

+zyxwut321 I said in another comment that laughter is the best medicine. Comedians, from what I gather, take joy in making other people laugh. So, in this sad and uncommon occurrence, he's giving other people "medicine" and it's making him feel better by proxy.

@PintsofGuinness 8 лет назад

conans laugh during the Halloween bit here. thats the genuine conan laugh. he always has it when bill burr is on. its distinctly different from his obligated laugh during most interviews.

Sorry for your loss. But might i say i think it's a strange sentence. ''Remembered''? Like you forgot he passed away? No disrespect, just thought it was a strange sentence

What up again Slade. I think English isn't his first language and means it reminded him of his dad and his passing

@rahminh 8 лет назад

What a great comedian, actor, and a father.

@barkergirl33 8 лет назад

What an amazing man and dad, I'm so sorry for his loss. Humor is such a huge part of getting through that. my kids were 6 and 8 when I was widowed and he's right -telling them was the hardest thing I've ever done and ever will have to do. His daughter sounds like an amazing girl also. Very caring of Conan to ask.

@krisreese6754 8 лет назад

Laughter is the best medicine for grief. Lost my dad to cancer last year, and although it was rough, I found ways to laugh through comedy.

@Maesan90 8 лет назад

Haven't laughed/cried at something in awhile. Heart goes out to ya, Patton.

@ThePamilya Год назад

All I will say is not only is he making a joke out of it but he announced he was engaged a little over a year after his wife's death.

@Christian-Rankin 8 лет назад

He must be either very well adjusted or very disturbed to be this self-aware and funny at the same time, in spite of such a sad event. I hope he is ok when he is alone, I hope he is healthy, he's a good dude.

@logandh2 8 лет назад

The most effective and natural coping mechanism is laughter, for comedians I'd imagine even more so.

@stop08it 8 лет назад

he's neither, he's a comedian and he uses comedy to cope and it fits perfectly in this setting. He's perfected his comedy mode over the years i guess. He is most likely a wreck when he's alone. His appearance kind of gives it away and it's understandable.

@Christian-Rankin 8 лет назад

stop08it Possibly, we don't really know, though.

@Widdekuu91 8 лет назад

André, I don't know if you meant for it to sound that mean, but the part with blood on the altar kindof crossed the line there.

@Christian-Rankin 8 лет назад

Widdekuu91 I think it was fine, what he said, but that's just my opinion. I wasn't offended by it.

@CoachAndre3K 8 лет назад

I read a quote from Patton talking about how grief makes depression look like an elementary school bully. lost my mom unexpectedly in November, it was really nice to read it and I wasn't alone in how I felt. polish lady impression is hilarious also

My respect for Patton has increased ten fold. I can't imagine what it's like to lose someone, let alone trying to get through it. I wish the best for him and his daughter.

@danscherman4085 6 лет назад

Jeez, had me in tears twice. First of sadness, then of laughter.

@TheGoldcountry 7 лет назад

I think Patton is one of the most genuine people around. He says what he thinks, and doesn't mince words. I can't imagine raising a daughter without her mother. I do recall an article he wrote for "Playboy" where he was sincerely grateful for his wife's family (and he talked about it here.)

A man who understands one of comedy's most purest purposes, and who uses it correctly. There will be plenty of self-harm and grieving, but sometimes you gotta channel it through comedy to manage.

@melissa6733 8 лет назад

I am so happy he is talking about this, i've always thought that he was hilarious :)

@tartfuel 8 лет назад

Just seeing him on the show, able to access his sense of humor in such a way and after such a deep loss means that over time he will be okay. I know he will always love her and mourn for her, but his sense of humor will help him move forward, not just for his daughter but for himself.

@gorrillawarfair 8 лет назад

really glad he 'seems' to be doing alright, i was worried about him after hearing about his wifes death. his comedy definitely doesn't shy away from dression or suicide. i really hope he is doing as well as he shows on camera, and cant wait to see his next special.

@tontoepstein6860 2 года назад

He copes by fondly remembering he was the guy who bought the drugs that killed his wife. Who in their right mind wouldn't be able to cope after knowing they got away with manslaughter? That's enough to brighten up anyone's day, knowing you got away with committing a crime. Especially when that crime is killing your wife. The man is a HERO, I say.
