The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale

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.

I was an avid viewer of The Soup and absolutely loved it. Was really looking forward to "Soup V2" but honestly, it's not as good or clever. The writing isn't that strong and the segments are also just okay. I will continue watching it since I'm a fan of Joel McHale but was expecting much more. Hopefully it gets better.

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.

A while back I used to watch Tosh.0 off and on. The comedy in the internet clips was apparent, but the host's comedy never really landed for me. It lacked any real depth, it was mostly shallow, cheap jokes. I started watching this show because I had seen a bit of The Soup before and liked it. Nearly every episode off this show has me crying, holding my gut laughing! Not only does the crew do a fantastic job of finding the right clips but Joel has great charisma and comedic delivery. Nearly every bit is not only a great gag, but also a slightly deep satire on comedy (and other) tropes. Hats off to the writer(s) of this show.

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.
