Patton Oswalt on the miracle of 80's Metal videos

The one thing I really liked about the 80’s hair band videos that needs to come back, the one recurring motif, were the bands that would rock so fuckin’ hard they could change the physical properties of things! Like they would blow holes through walls with their rocking, or they’d go up to your shitty Honda Civic and go “squibbely doo!” and all of a sudden it’s a sleek Lamborghini! Like Hey! Thanks Night Ranger!

That needs to come back. Y’know? Like System of a Down or Queens of the Stone Age have to do a video where they’re going “That cheese sandwich isn’t grilled – squibbly flabbily doo!” And all of a sudden it’s a melted cheese! Oh god damn, you Armenian geniuses!

- Comedian Patton Oswalt from "80's Metal" on "Feeling Kinda Patton"
He is also known as the voice of Remy the rat in Disney's Ratatouille
