** "AROOOOOOOOOO!" ("Clip of the Week")
** "''Dance Your Ass Off'' continues to be the biggest exploitation of fat people since X."
** "It's Reality Show Clip Time!"
*** Joel will occasionally play with this one a bit. Variations on this include Joel whispering it, silently mouthing it, just letting out one long yell or random excited gibberish, and "[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|By the power of Greyskull, I have the power!]]"
** "On the newest episode of (insert phrase that insults Hugh Hefner) with Hugh Hefner.." for ''The Girls Next Door''. Often mined as a source of [[Black Comedy]]; for example, "On the latest episode of [[Crosses the Line Twice|'beep,]] beep, [[Rule of Three|beeeeeep']] with Hugh Hefner..."
Line 117:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''Talk Soup''.
* [[Studio Audience]]: The off-screen crew serves as this.
** As does the actual studio audience, which is usually comprised of friends and family of people who work or intern at E!, Style, or G4. It's a small studio though, so it's a small audience.
* [[Take That]]: Basically the show's premise in regard to all bad television.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJVP-FMDkmo The intro to Gay Shows.]
** [[Camp Gay]]: What the Gay Shows segment covers.
* [[Through His Stomach]]: A woman on ''Maury'' accuses another of luring away her man by cooking him "CHICKEN TETRAZZINI!" '''''The Soup''''' turned this into one of their running gags, and the segment was the Clip of the Year for 2009.
* [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent]]: E! UK ran a British version called ''Celebrity Soup'' (one of the channel's few locally-produced series) hosted by Iain Lee. Suffice to say that [[Completely Missing the Point|completely missing what makes something work]] is [[Not So Different|not exclusively an American trait]]; started in 2005, binned in 2006.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: The segment "What the Kids Are Watching" deserves special mention for focusing on children's show clips that range in content from this to [[Have a Gay Old Time]] to potential [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** Best example? Joel discovering anime—he showed a clip from ''[[Dai Mahou Touge]]'', which is certainly not in any way a kid's show. It's easy to make that mistake, though.
