The Soup: "Whip-Smart About Nonsense"

joel

In reading this profile of Joel McHale and The Soup, there’s an obvious love-hate thing going on between the Washington Post staffer that praises the adept “meta-contempt” of Joel and his always aggregating production team with one hand, but condescends to the need for a show that traffics in clips from the “ninety percent of what’s on television [that’s] not good” with the other. Problem is, if you can’t bullshit a bullshitter, you’re not going to outsnark a black-belt like McHale either.
