The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale |OT| Reheated Soup (Sundays on Netflix)
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
They feel really forced.
But the majority of guests on The Soup tended to not be great bits either so I won't really complain about it.
This show is like %90 bad but for some damn reason I like Joel and the %10 that he nails is fucking great.
Does Joel help write the show?
My thoughts exactly.

This true, honestly I think Joel could do 45 minutes.
I like the Dorable Pseudo Fued, but never liked that Billy dude
Man, what a bummer this show has been. I used to watch The Soup regularly and launch my ass off. I didn't get a single chuckle out of today's episode.
I thought he really sold the skit.
I do agree the Paul Feig stuff has been more cringy than funny.
Also, better selection of US clips this week.
Saw the first episode when it came out.
I expected the next one to come on. Then I was like, oh, yeah, this is weekly.

Liked the new episode and enjoy finding new trash MTV shows to rag on. Glad to see they fixed the messy lighting from last week.
I watched Difficult People and loved it until somewhere in the third season. Really kind of unraveled.
I watched the episode from last week....that is to say I watched 5 minutes of it. Couldn't stomach watching any more. It feels like a youtube show.
That's a good way to put it. I accept it as a junk food show. Nothing special, but still fun enough to watch.
It is literally 'The Soup' with a different name, and more swearing. It has always been like this.
You know Donna Dorable is gonna show up sooner rather than later.
Of course, I am still waiting for the Olsen twins to show up on Last Week Tonight.

I enjoyed the first two episodes, but didn't care so much for the very last one. I guess that's the last one?
Anyway, the first two had us rolling

Oh shit, I missed the Soup showing Japanese game shows so much.
Literally the reason I started checking them out(well besides always loving MXC) was a clip they showed of a guy's ass getting launched into the face of another guy who was locked down.
Seems like they didn't show any for years before it ended though.
Edit:Definitely feels like it is improving as they get more comfortable with everything, getting a bit tighter.
I think I have seen that game show it is typically hilarious.
I have definitely seen that Japanese movie though.... its absolutely garbage.

I was hoping the shows premise would have evolved a bit but it didn't at all. The show worked well in the early 00 because of the sheer glut of bad reality TV so it exposed how much there was. Now? It just feels out of touch.
I so very much disagree with this, Riaru Onigokko is a great surrealistic horror film. There is a reason Sion Sono is such an iconic filmmaker. This maybe isn't his best work, but it is still pretty damn good.
Every time I see Paul Feig I'm reminded how he ruined Ghostbusters. Please leave him off camera.
From the clips they showed, I thought it was some Noboru Iguchi stuff. Gonna check it out.
I watched it right after watching this lousy episode. What a great movie. I was expecting it to be dumb after the clip they used, but it's kinda like Robocop or Starship Troopers with extreme surrealism thrown all over them.
No, it's The Soup minus comedy.
The show isn't funny because the writing sucks, not because the format sucks.
I gave it two episodes and I couldn't get through either of them, and I loved The Soup. Plus the clips they pull here are oddly uninteresting.
Yeah, S3 isn't great, but S1+2 were quite refreshing in the age of "every comic gets a pet project where they play a version of themselves".
New episode was pretty good. First appearance of anime. I sort of feel like Japan will give this show more ammo than they know what to do with, though.
Honestly I was like "eh" on the anime clip because I recall seeing gifs just like that scene on the other site...
however the size at the end redeemed the whole thing.
Paul Feig, stop. Please. You have better things to be doing then making awful cameos.
I eagerly await the resumption of the Donna Dorable feud. The Eric McCormack bit was great.
I was just disappointed they didn't do a Franxx reference given that Kim Kardashian was talking about it last week.

I think people should go back and watch old Soup episodes. Its literally this lol.
Most recent episode was probably my fave, but I've enjoyed them all. Easy watching, only weekly thing I've stuck with this long on Netflix.

Yeah I really don't see the difference other than this has to start from scratch with the in-jokes and 'chicken tettrazini' type recurring clips.
Yeah, I don't get the complaints that this is missing something that The Soup had.
The Soup was frequently unfunny too! The charm of both these shows is the laidback, low-budget feel of it. Especially on E! it felt like they were getting away with something. The standard of humour has always been the exact same. Some jokes landed harder than others, but it was very much the same show this is.

I feel a lot of the naysayers either only starred paying attention to Joel after the Soup or are not from the U.S and never got the show in their home country,
