Why Scott Baio's Tweet About Patton Oswalt Is Turning Heads

Scott Baio found himself in the middle of some more Twitter drama when he replied to comedian Patton Oswalt's sarcastic tweet that included his name. Oswalt wrote on March 4, 2021 that he was "at the DuPont Circle Pinkberry for the #TrumpInauguration," mockingly referencing a conspiracy theory Trump had a plan to take back the presidency on that day. "I'm here with four Proud Boys, their moms and Scott Baio. Did we get the address wrong? Help me out, this Minuteman costume is super-itchy," he continued. Baio responded to Oswalt's jab with a head-turning tweet. "Poor Oswalt needs 2 prescriptions. One for his TDS and one for his STD itch!" he said, seemingly trying to play on the "super-itchy" costume Oswalt mentioned.

However, the tweet didn't resonate with the Twitter world, and it immediately called Baio out for his response. "Throwing two fake diseases at the guy and still lacking a punchline. ... uber-talent here," one person wrote. "This is the type of humor that shows your true talent! It makes it super easy to see why you don't work anymore, Chuck," another slammed. Many people pointed out that Scott must have searched his name to see the tweet and used that as an insult — including Patton Oswalt himself. "Oh YIKES. I didn't even "@" this guy. Poor sap searches his name on Twitter," he said. "No one dunk on him, this is really depressing."
