The show, which has existed in various iterations for years, has reached new comedic heights on McHale’s watch. In a nutshell, it features 22 minutes of distilled television trash; the very worst of what American culture has to offer. Degenerate attention-seekers looking for “true love?” Check. Startlingly self-absorbed celebrities padding their inflated egos? Indeed. Washed-up/cashed-strapped stars demeaning themselves for a paycheck? Oh yes. The Soup peddles in the lowest- common-denominator programming that’s beamed to cable boxes and satellite dishes from coast to coast every day.

I love that show!!! :D That's so awesome that you watch it too. That show makes me feel better about myself, b/c not only am I extremely far from the low-lifes and hilariously sad people on those shows, but it also makes me feel awesome that I'm hardly one of the few people that enjoys making fun of those shows! Haha! And Joel McHale (?) does a great job on there. Hearing the whole crew in the background comment and laugh about what's going on the set and making fun of the shows is awesome. Good stuff! :P
