    Most well known for his dry, harsh character on Community, Joel McHale brings all that but less to his new Netflix special. The 20-minute comedy-news recap fails to compare to any other shows of its kind, its best gags simple jabs at the host-company itself. Overall the show made me laugh, but the gags were cheap, boring and unoriginal. Almost feels like Joel McHale's creative humour hasMost well known for his dry, harsh character on Community, Joel McHale brings all that but less to his new Netflix special.

    What distinguishes it is the snarky, superficial brand of postmodern commentary about reality show narratives and foreign soap operas’ recurring tropes, and it’s rewarding to see that again. But again and again, McHale reminds you that all the comedy the writing staff has to offer about these clips is barely elevated vulgarity. Almost every clip would be funnier if McHale just said nothing after airing it.

    McHale’s place in the culture has been taken up by Twitter. ... On his new show, McHale sorts through some very meager pickings.
