Comedian Patton Oswalt on Wednesday was busy “deleting” a series of risqué tweets and issuing apologies to the offended parties.
Oops. Just deleted my last Tweet. & would like to apologize to seniors & sufferers of Lyme disease. I was out of bounds.

Yikes. Had to delete another Tweet. I crossed a line on that one. Also, I thought 12 YEARS A SLAVE and THE BUTLER were brilliant.

PLEASE disregard last Tweet. Already deleted. Transphobia is hurtful, and I'm a big fan of HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH.

Forgive me. Previous Tweet deleted. Sorry. Yes, we all know what "grape", "ape", "tape" & "cape" rhyme with. I'm an asshole.

Previous Tweet very hurtful. Already deleted. @KimKardashian & @JoeBiden are national treasures. As are our Native American friends.

Another Tweet deleted. I apologize. That one was just mean. Go ahead & block me, @AnthonyCumia & @thelindywest. #tolerance

The FUCK is wrong with me? Last Tweet deleted. The victims of the Holocaust deserve our highest respect, not penis limericks.

Gonna leave Twitter for a bit. Deleted my last Tweet. Just because "Don Sterling" rhymes with "Gone curling" doesn't make it funny.

@pattonoswalt I can literally hear the heavy breathing coming from @Salon as they feverishly try to find these "deleted tweets".

What’s the occasion?
Looks like it's "@pattonoswalt weeds out people who don't understand humor" day.

@pattonoswalt Don't people have a reasonable right to be offended by rape jokes? Not sure what you're trying to defend here.

.@coolsexguy I didn't make a rape joke. But YOU somehow heard one in your head. Hm.
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) May 7, 2014
@pattonoswalt I'm so confused. So there are people who think you're fake apology for a joke you didn't make is in itself a rape joke?
— Eric J. Boisen (@EricBoisen) May 7, 2014
.@EricBoisen Yes. They're from the "Lewis Carroll" level of Twitter.

I think @pattonoswalt just invented telepathic twitter offensiveness. Is he the antichrist, or an anarchic wizard? Either way, hilarious

Anyone else witnessing @pattonoswalt troll out everyone's inner demons? There needs to be a word for this. #Twitception maybe?

@pattonoswalt I'd love to see a pie chart of this feedback just to see the tiny Lyme disease sliver.

@pattonoswalt I am disgusted by this. My father was murdered by a deleted tweet. BLOCKED.

@pattonoswalt I disapprove of what you didn’t say, but I will defend to the death your right to not say it.
