The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale

I am writing this review mostly for the people outside U.S. this show focuses on American tv, and if you are not very used to that kind of stuff I think some jokes wont be very understandable but overall I think you can make a sense of the jokes and I did so too, but the problem might be because of american humor is kind of different than what I am used to, I do really like some american comedy shows but some just make me very confused just like this one, I have started to watch this show because I really like community and I also like Joel as an actor so I wanted to check this out, the show is actually very addicting but I won't say it's very funny, the clips they show are actually very good for comedy purposes but while watching it I am like " ah this is a very funny video I wonder what Joel gonna say about this...." (joel makes the joke) "oh come on you could find way better jokes than this" , but then I tried to find jokes by myself if I could think of a better joke and...yeah, it's hard, I suppose it is diffcult to come up with a joke when the video comes out of nowhere therefore finding a relevant joke is hard, but still I think they can find better jokes or more jokes to make the show more entertaining. I think I watch this show more for Joel McHale than the jokes themselves because he is a good entertainer, I do enjoy his style of comedy even if I don't really like all the jokes, even if you are outside of the United States I would say give it a chance, I think it will grow on you.

3/27/18. I used to catch Joe McHale on The Soup whenever I could. His sarcastic commentaries about pop culture were great! Now it seems this is sort of an update of The Soup, which was canceled by E! in 2015. I love this show! Keep the episodes coming! McHale remains the master of snarky remarks.

This is his lane. He's an equal opportunist. Do dumb stuff on tv and he'll call it out. He's quick smart and funny. Was always wondering what happened to the Soup... i hope Netflix never cancels this show.

As a massive fan of The Soup, I was ecstatic to hear that Joel MacHale was getting a new show on Netflix, and I am happy to say, its as if they just picked up where they left off. Taking hilarious jabs at pop culture and silly TV shows. Its basically the same format as the original Soup, Joel stands in front of in front of a green screen as he makes fun of the bottom of the barrel of TV trash. I laughed just as hard as I did with the original soup and I highly look forward to the rest. Its going to be a weekly show so I cant wait for the next episodes.

The show is also uncensored, which is very fun to see. It also tales many jabs at the Soup and his team of workers. The exclaim its amazing that someone gave Joel another job, and also remembering how bad the animated titles were. The show also doesn't just do TV like the Soup did, it also does internet videos like Tosh.0. I'm am so overjoyed that this show didn't suck like so many other Netflix shows, I highly looking forward to what is basically more episodes of the original Soup.

I recommend this to any Soup fan.

While some review(s) balk at the concept of the show, saying that Joel McHale can't run something like this or that this is some sort of low point, I need only reference the fact that this is, in all relevant ways, The Soup which ran for over a decade.

And this show is The Soup, except on Netflix (dum-dummm), and aside from some jokes geared at the network and other slight changes, this is essentially the same show that you remember.

From the fantastically ridiculous and out-of-context clips to the impromptu cameos and cheesy segment openers, it is the perfect successor to the series, and the same parts that used to make me laugh are doing so once again.

That all being said, this show is not for everyone (the same could be said for the original), but if you liked McHale's last half-hour standing in front of a green screen once a week, you should not be disappointed.
