I think The Soup is the best thing ever, but my mom is always asking "What the hell are you watching?" and doesn't get it. Maybe there is a generation gap after all. And Joel is an Olbermann fanboy...I loved their clip war last year.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think it is generational. Beau cannot stand "Talk Soup" and does not understand why I like it.
I think that the humor is a little like those who like puns. I get that "Talk Soup" is a little juvenile at times, but it still makes me laugh so no apologies!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have gotten TCG hooked on Talk Soup. We usually end up watching it on Sunday morning while caffeinating ourselves. It is a good way to start a weekend day.

My favorite joke this past week was "I would applaud, but it seems that someone's given you the clap."

OK, usually when there's a product tie in for a show I'm all cynical and annoyed by the merchandising. Whereas last night's Glee had me desperately rifling through computers at work today until I could find one with a recent enough version of iTunes to buy "Somebody to Love." And then playing it on a loop all afternoon as I worked.
I like the Glee cast version better than Queen's original.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oooh. heresy.
I liked their version, but I prefer Queen's.

I know! I fully expect Freddie Mercury to rise from the grave this Halloween and bitch-slap me for it. But I've never felt compelled to listen to him sing the song 15 times in a row.

“Not dead yet!”
My favorite version (until last night) was the Mercury tribute with George Michael singing lead. So I guess I'm guilty of heresy too.
Because seriously, that was amazing.
And once again, Matthew Morrison turns into Super Hawt every time he opens his mouth to sing. *fans self*

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I was begging the television to make them do the entire song, Barb. BEGGING.
Poor Joe. I think he felt left out.
