Read MorePatton Oswalt Is Back With a Revelation From His Summer Away From Twitter
Sadly, it's not that he's a wizard.
Patton Oswalt had an incredibly visible Twitter presence until June of this year. He spent his time telling jokes, getting crap for telling jokes, joking that he'd made jokes that would've gotten him crap, and getting crap for those jokes. He needed a break from all the crap, so he took the summer off, and now he's back to tell us what we're all missing in the real world.

Guess I'm going to start watching SHIELD again.
Despite having an entire comic book universe (which there's usually a conspicuous lack of) to draw on for its nerd-cred, Agents of SHIELD is going straight to the source by having Patton Oswalt guest star on the show.

Read MoreAxe Cop Voice Cast Will Chop Your Heads Off With How Great It Is
Fox didn't consult us about the cast of Axe Cop, but if they did this is probably what we would have come up with.
Did you know that Nick Offerman wasn't officially Axe Cop until yesterday? I mean -- we've seen heard him be Axe Cop, but no one could officially say it until yesterday because of Offerman's deal with NBC and Axe Cop is a Fox project. Now, though, not only is that thing we already knew confirmed to be a thing that is, there are even more Axe Cop casting details and they're all amazing.
