Scott Baio and Patton Oswalt found themselves trending on Twitter after a really absurd social media fight.
Patton Oswalt is giving a lesson in compassion. The comedian, 49, showed one critic some love on Thursday after he realized the social media user was suffering from serious medical problems. Patton Oswalt was one of the very first people I followed on Twitter.I’d admired his dexterous standup comedy for years, from an HBO special to his set for Comedy Central Presents and up through.
The whole feud began on March 4 when Patton poked fun at a Qanon conspiracy theory that said Donald Trump would be appointed President of the United States that day. Of course, that didn't happen. To capitalize on the foolish theory, Patton tweeted, 'Guys, I'm at the DuPont Circle Pinkberry for the #TrumpInauguration. 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.'
Scott, a huge Trump supporter, saw the tweet the following day and wasn't going to stand for it.
'Poor Oswalt needs 2 prescriptions. One for his [Trump Derangement Syndrome] and one for his STD itch,' the 'Happy Days' actor wrote.

The comedian saw Scott's tweet and retorted back, taking a shot at 1976's 'Bugsy Malone,' a film Scott starred in.

'Oh YIKES. I didn't even '@' this guy. Poor sap searches his name on Twitter,' Patton wrote. 'No one dunk on him, this is really depressing. BUGSY MALONE's still a great movie, right?'
As one point, Scott also called Patton 'fat,' 'ugly,' and a 'coward.'
Twitter… what a place.
