Good. The amount of people who were offended by him was embarrassing. I mean goddamn, have some self awareness and stop taking some of this shit so seriously.
Oh god no.
I liked him, but in terms of pure unadulterated cringe, that show he was on with Geoff has yet to be matched.

Five years already?
Loved the shitshow back then. Geoff was so uncomfortable all the time because of him, it was a joy to watch.

Pack it up boys, Game Awards are ruined /s
Color me intrigued, maybe he'll joke about his own performance last time he was in the awards?

Genuinely can't believe it's been 5 years since that disastrous show, where Joel made Geoff look like the size of an ant. Feels like yesterday.
Fuck that, Joel was the best part of that show.
Hope he just shits on everything tonight.
I see you're new to Joel McHale. That's his schtick. It's why people like Don Rickles are adored.
The Game Awards are more "legit" now (in terms of presentation and celebrity features), I don't think it would really work this time haha
I wasn't going to watch because I knew it was probably going to be a train wreck, but I might have to watch now because it's definitely going to be a train wreck.
Yeah, I'm down for Joel shitting on everything for old times sake. Hopefully we get to hear him take a piss again too.
I dunno, I think a good-natured ribbing could help remind people to not take this whole thing too seriously.

Geoff saw my post and made the call. You're welcome

I'm okay with him being rude and douchy though, he should be welcomed.
With more time to prepare and an actual budget to work with I think they can do something great.
Also, Jade Raymond should co-host and announce her new Splinter Cell game.
'Gamers' are so fucking delicate sometimes, Joel making fun of the 'gamer' stereotype was fucking awesome.
Glad he's back.
Glad he's back.
Talking about spoooooky "outsiders" while this is the same show that had a mascot for a razor company integrated into it.
I find it hard to believe Joel didn't run his bit by Geoff ahead of time.That's just not how these sorts of things are done.
Joel McHale respresented the attitude I wish the world didn't have on video games. I thought Joel was funny but it definitely wasn't why I was watching the show. It turned that first show into a lot of mocking of video games rather than celebrating the game industry and it's achievements which is what I think Geoff was going for.
That is not to say the Joel + Geoff debacle was not extremely entertaining, I'm just glad that the Game Awards have come so far from what that was.

I don't follow him so I was always a little bemused how he went from hosting VGX to hosting the White House Correspondent's Dinner.
