It wasn’t great it was fricking amazing. “Unlikely words of wisdom” segment with clips of the dumb girl from The Hills, and every once in a while she’d pop her head up like a good sport. Those were it, those were the last rays of light of a setting sun. Everything started getting bad after that show ended….and this was during a recession.
It wasn't quite as good. The Soup isn't meant to be binged, since a lot of the jokes develop overtime. It still wasn't bad and I would've taken it if they had made more.
>The Soup isn't meant to be binged, since a lot of the jokes develop overtime.
Season 1 was released weekly, but the ratings were bad so they tried releasing season 2 as a bingewatch and the ratings got worse.
The show was for smug humanity degree types who were wayy too good for reality tv, but were perfectly ok with a smug recap show of reality tv disguised as a show making fun of reality tv, by the time the show ended, you couldn’t even pretend making fun of reality tv was worth your time as the veil was off the scripted nature of reality tv
Very poor take, at least where I'm concerned. Maybe there's some validity in the comment for other sectors of the population. I legitimately had zero interest in reality tv both then and now, and I found the show a useful way to stay abreast of memes, exactly as advertised (he watches all of this stupid shit so you don't have to). There is some value in being able to toss out this-or-that reference when dealing with younger people, I recognize that.
I don't understand why people ever watched things like Real Housewives or Judge Judy or Survivor. I think that your latter comment (on how reality TV is scripted) is really superfluous to your central point. Because it's still stupid shit at all events. t. smug STEM grad

My ex housemate watched three hours of Judge Judy a day, and it was by her own admission because those people's lives were worse than hers

Exzactly my point, you still want a recap of reality tv, but didnKt want to watch reality tv.
Meanwhile the real elites would spend that time at a bridge club discussing business or polities or real art.
Bet you still made fun of people who watched reality tv dispite still watching tv slop yourself
>watching 20 minutes of actually funny 10 seconds clips vs watching 200 hours of women screaming at each other >feigning intellectual superiority on an Icelandic quiche baking forum using dark knight gifs
I know which one of these two is the moron and it isn't the first one
>smart people written by stupid people: the post
the two most intelligent and successful people I ever met both watched six hours of Family Guy every day
It was the first show that E! had on the air practically when the network started. The '90s were the peak days of cable TV. Henson was the best host. Does anyone know if Tom is still alive?

KYLE LOVE IT,
KYLE LOVE IT
Or then there's Whitney (RIP)
KISS MY ASS
came here to post this
what are some other good running jokes
a speecy spicy meatball
CHICKEN TETRAZZINI
I also miss this show. But am not nostalgic for the 2010s. I've never felt more trapped and controlled in my life than in my 20s.
She drove a PTCruizer!
mchale thought he was going to be a movie star
>The Soup
It's Talk Soup you fricking zoomer
Good things don't last.
Remember when Netflix tried to reboot it?

S1 was pretty nice but s2 fricking sucked.
made more money showing Kardashian reruns
She had a big ass and a sex tape, you know. A little Male Nurse told me so.
I just found out that they brought it back for one season in 2020 with a girl host.
the only entertainment industry show i ever went out of my way to watch
I loved the "Steven Segaaaaal" segment whenever it came up.
does it exist anywhere online?
As far as I know it's not streaming anywhere. Maybe being a show made up entirely of clips from other shows makes streaming rights tricky.
there is a google doc but you have to message someone on reddit for the password
Wrong platform just like the first time they brought Beavis and Butthead back. Netflix brought it back for a bit but it didn't get renewed.
The show doesn't work on any network in an entertainment landscape dominated by Youtube and Twitch.

Yo don’t know anyone successful

Playground tier comeback.
I’m taking my owl and my concubine back to the club
>Why did The Soup get canceled
It was on the air for like 30 years, you dumb fricking zoomer

Because comedy isn't allowed any more.
this homie gets more hair transplants everytime i see him
spider-man 2 was MPB kino
His show host license was fake
underrated
Usurper.
That time MST3K hosted.
For one the puritan hipsters (that survived the 10s, apparently) didn't help...
there is no such thing as getting canceled chud
This isn't fair. I'm glad it's cancelled.
i was more of a tosh.0 kid
Joel McHale is not very charismatic which is saying something for a white man that is handsome and 6'4.
He played football at University Of Washington. If he would've played ball at Alabama Crimson Tide he'd be the most charismatic person on the planet.
what type of moron did you need to be to watch that shit
>here's that babe magnet I was telling you about
