In other Patton Oswalt news, the set-destroying comedian addressed the recent Sigma Alpha Epsilon controversy on Twitter this morning. How? By placing the SAE fraternity’s racist chant in famous movie scenes, that’s how. As expected, the results are quite funny — albeit powerful enough to ruin (mostly) classic films:
The headphones scene from GARDEN STATE except he's listening to the SAE chant.
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) March 14, 2015
The boom box scene from SAY ANYTHING except he's playing the SAE chant.
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) March 14, 2015
The "help me Obi Wan" scene in STAR WARS except R2D2 plays the SAE video.

Oswalt’s Twitter followers soon joined in on the fun, adding the chant to other beloved, obscure, and questionable scenes:
@pattonoswalt The Bus Scene in ALMOST FAMOUS except they're singing the SAE chant

@pattonoswalt The bar scene in Top Gun, except Maverick and Goose are serenading Meg Ryan and Kelly McGillis with the SAE chant

Every contest needs a winner though, and the title of ABSOLUTEL CHAMPION goes to LessThan Or SequelTo for adding the chant to Spike Lee‘s Do the Right Thing:
@pattonoswalt any Radio Raheem scene in DO THE RIGHT THING, except the boom box plays the SAE chant.
— LessThan Or SequelTo (@LTOSTP) March 14, 2015
The “Radio Raheem” scene is brilliant but, honestly, any scene in this (or any other Lee film) would have won. The irony behind the pairing is infinitesimal — not to mention terrible. If anything, LessThan Or SequelTo won outright for the sheer size of the cojones he or she is sporting.
