What TV Moments did Joel McHale Make Fun of This Week?

Whitney Jefferson · 03/01/10 12:28PM

The Soup targeted Tyra's self-obsessed side, how dumb the Amazing Race contestants actually are, the biggest crybaby at the Tool Academy, and KTLA having a laugh at at old man who tried to high jump and fell down hard!

Community Achieves Comedy Gold Without Using a Single Word

Whitney Jefferson · 02/05/10 01:41PM

Sexual tensions were high during last night's Community when the gang realized that "unlike a real family, there is nothing to stop any one of us from looking at the others as a sexual prospect." Let the longing glances begin.

The Night The Soup Seemed All Too Familiar

Matt Cherette · 12/19/09 12:00AM

While watching tonight's episode of The Soup, we had a case of serious déjà vu (more on that after the jump). Luckily for us, though, McHale and Co.'s hilarious clip from the SYTYCD finale brought us back to reality.

The Soup Mocks Tiger Woods Reporters

What's better than mocking Tiger Woods? Watching The Soup mock the reporters obsessed with the random, salacious details of the story! After the jump, watch what we think was the funniest part of tonight's episode. Also, a bonus: WENDY. WILLIAMS.

Every Nerd Will Have His Day

A director gets a big new job, and so does MacGyver. SAG stalls, Chevy Chase steps on the gas, the Sci-Fi Channel takes a soft left turn, while nerds everywhere gather and celebrate.

'News,' Comedy Worlds Collide on The Soup

Richard Lawson · 07/28/08 12:39PM

In a bizarre mash-up of some of our pop culture touchstones, professional opinion-haver Keith Olbermann made a cameo appearance on The Soup this weekend. Olbermann popped up on E!'s pop garbage digest hosted by the lovable Joel McHale to introduce a clip of noted idiot Brooke Hogan (daughter of Mr. Nanny) saying that she doesn't really do the whole voting thing because she doesn't think it's appropriate for women to run for president. Because who trusts anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die?? Is she right or is she right? Anyway, Olbermann made a Gary Busey joke and the world felt just a little bit more snug. In kind of a too-tight way. Clip after the jump.

Comedian Brave in the Stretched Faces of Those He Mocks

Richard Lawson · 07/14/08 01:07PM

Joel McHale, host of E!'s talkie blog The Soup, is a courageous fellow. After making fun of Kathie Lee Gifford on this past Friday's show, he nobly appeared during her Today Show segment to talk shop and further shame the irascible Kathie Lee. Watch the video above to see our hero, dreamy as ever, gently refuse to back down in the face of such unmitigated wickedness. Also, what's being discussed here? Crabs or craps? I can't quite tell. Though, I'm not sure it makes any lick of a difference anyway.

Mmm Mmm Good

Swoon! The Soup's Joel McHale is interviewed by the A.V. Club today. He talks about the horrors of television and how Tyra Banks gets pissy about his show.
