The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale |OT| Reheated Soup (Sundays on Netflix)
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Never even heard of The Soup. But was a Community fan so gave it a go.
This had completly lost me with the yank reality rubbish at the start. Was thinking this was going to be the whole show, but hung in there. Turned out ok.
Few good laughs. Kunts and the Korean specifically. Lazy Monday viewing.
In for next week. Hope they ease back on the American stuff, was weaker than the international content, but unfortunately think it's going to make up the majority of the bits.

Best part was that the end credits auto-exited 14 seconds before they ended, so I didn't get to hear the whole song because of how Netflix made their own mobile app work.
Now I'm wishing once again that Netflix had done Community rather than Yahoo.
Did Love end? I wonder why Gillian wasn't in that segment.
I'm also not finding this nearly as funny as Tosh.O

God I hope that's sarcasm. But with today's youth, you never know.
It was pretty meh. I will probably make this my hungover Sunday viewing at best. The Netflix stuff got tired fast and I just felt like Joel McHale should be above this kinda thing. I haven't seen The Soup or anything else he's done so I guess this is his bread and butter?
I wouldn't call him insufferable, but he doesn't really make me laugh.
Joel even broke character and was like "Sorry I haven't heard that yet..."
It's a strong entry into the genre originally created by Robert Dyrdek.
I'm just a few months shy of 30.
I love me some good low quality bait.
The show was more Soup. I needed that.
You do know this is a revival of a show that was a good 5+ years before Tosh.0, which was itself revitalization of a show that was airing 20 years before Tosh.0
The American reality stuff is good if there's good material, bad if there isn't. I think this week there wasn't really material for it.
You'll groan through it until they find the right way to edit some clips together from Gold Rush: Alaska.
I am curious too as to what bits they can keep doing. I'm assuming recurring characters won't come back (even though I doubt that E! is ever going to do a Mankini spinoff), but can they keep editing an endless list of Inside Edition previews? Can they keep stitching together Gold Rush Clips? Is Gold Rush even still on TV? Is Nick Lachey allowed in now, or does he still have to stay out of it?
When she threw the bike at the motorcyclist, I laughed harder than I have in recent memory. So glad Joel and this format is back.
Show is going to be a lot of American reality stuff.
There just has to be good content there for it or after a while they have enough of it to start doing full segments or recurring jokes
Weekly, or else there'd be no clips to pull from for stuff airing currently.
One a week. How else is going to be able to mock stuff like Fergie's National Anthem in a timely fashion?
Really enjoyed this - never watched The Soup, but love McHale and Community.
I'll keep watching this. Cheesy and snarky, and it's easy watching. The opening where he looks at various US TV shows honestly took me a while to realise they were real. I thought they were parodies. Unbelievable stuff.
This show feels weird on Netflix though - at the end of the day, it's a throwaway show and timely. Someone watching in a year isn't going to go back to Season 1 and watch from the start because it'll be out of date. Netflix is designed to keep this stuff forever - so in 20 years, will we still be able to watch this?

So you don't know anything about him but you think he should be "above it." This is literally his thing.
I've seen him in some of Community and a few other things (I meant I've not seen any of his variety stuff like this), seems like a smart, talented dude, that's all. No need to get antsy.
Very decent first episode. Glad they've kept the same spirit of Talk Soup in tact. Very promising. Happy to see my comfort television show return.
Considering that it's basically supposed to be The Soup 2.0, I'd say it hit the mark.
Not even "weak" or "middling" but I'd say this first episode was good and funny. Then again, I've always appreciated the style of humor. This is junk food programming at its best, for me.

I'm honestly surprised Netflix didn't have this or something similar a lot sooner, unless I missed it? Like, I would've gone here before I tried something like Chelsea if I were in charge.
We still watch clips of Talk Soup on this very thread. How many comedy show or movies will we remember in 20 years regardless?
With Joel bringing Mankini over(who was actually a writer and producer on The Soup) I wonder if he brought or will bring anyone else over.
Maybe eventually Kelly Levy who was also a writer, producer and always did the impressions of Amanda Bynes, Brittany Spears, etc.
I always loved those
Edit:
God the edit stuff was so good

Man, you guys keep saying this is just like The Soup but it's really not.
The Soup was funny.
I didn't laugh once, even the clips were meh.
But Tosh.0 is a bad version of Talk Soup...

New season is gonna hit right in the middle of their run, so, that's something to look forward to
I missed The Soup and Joel McHale so much. The Netflix (dun dun) show is just as good and that first episode made me literally LOL. Special props to the Beastmaster, South African and K-drama clips. I hope it opens those shows for Netflix (dun dun) distribution so we can really see how batshit those stories are. I want to see this get extended beyond that initial 13 ep order.
