A television personality most familiar to viewers for his stint as the host of the E! network's satirical pop-culture commentary The Soup (updated and reworked from the channel's original Talk Soup), Joel McHale grew up in the Seattle area and attended the University of Washington as a theater major, where he earned his master's in drama. After relocating to Los Angeles, McHale signed for guest roles and bit parts on series including Will & Grace and Oliver Beene, then landed a small role as Mr. Jacks in the Sam Raimi feature Spider-Man 2, followed by parts in Catherine Hardwicke's Lords of Dogtown and the sketch comedy outing The Onion Movie. On the side, McHale also emceed a series of Burger King commercials. He culled his broadest fan base on The Soup, however, distinguishing himself with sharp sarcasm and a quick wit. He had a breakthrough when he was cast as the lead in the cult hit sitcom Community on NBC, and he continued to act in projects such as The Informant!, Spy Kids: All the Time In the World, and 2012's Ted.

Quotes from Joel McHale's Characters

Mr. Weenie:	[Getting taken away by Bob and Bobbie] No! No!
Elliot:	[Terrified, witnessing all this] Noooo!

Elliot:

Giselle!

Elliot:	Isn't this great, Boog?
Boog:	What's great?
Elliot:	Well, not great that Weenie's been kidnapped, but great that we're livin' life on the edge! It's just like old times! Two guys, out on the road!

Elliot:

Have you seen my new horns? They're completely natural!

Boog:	[Disguised as a sheepdog] Elliot! Weenie! Thank goodness you safe! [Elliot and Mr. Weenie scream] Shh! What are you doin'?!
Elliot:	Who are you?!
Boog:	What do you mean?! I'm your best friend!
Elliot:	McSquizzy?!
Boog:	[Putting his hands on his hips] McSquizzy?! He doesn't even like you!
Elliot:	[Hands on hips] Look, I'm not talkin' to some random, overweight sheepdog about my personal relationships! [Crosses arms]
Boog:	It's me! Boog!
Elliot:	Boog's fat. [Whacks Boog's belly] No way.
Boog:	[Annoyed] Elliot!
Elliot:	Huh? Wow! It IS you! Did you lose weight?
Boog:	When did you start thinkin' McSquizzy was your BFF?!
Elliot:	Oh! Heh heh. Well, you were hibernating. And we were hangin'. Turns out we have a lot in common. [Puts his hands on his hips] We both like nuts.
Boog:	YOU are nuts!

Elliot:

Rabbit fight!

Boog:	Giselle, we gotta stick together out here. We're partners, right?
Elliot:	[Long gasp] BOOG! You traitor! [Pointing to Giselle] And you, traitor ex!
Giselle:	[Looks offended]
Elliot:	Enjoy your new-found partnership!
Boog:	Oh, come on, Elliot...
Elliot:	I don't need any of you! I'll find Mr. Weenie on my own! So long!
McSquizzy:	Hey! You're goin' the wrong way, ya choob!
Elliot:	[Sarcastically] Oh, thank you very much! This is a shortcut-- [Falls down the edge and screams] I'm okay, guys. You don't care.
McSquizzy:	Not really! Was that too harsh?

Boog:	Look, man. We need Giselle. She's a good tracker.
McSquizzy:	Yeah! And without her, we never would've found Weenie and that giant, tin-canned thing!
Elliot:	[Scoffs] Beginner's luck!
Elliot:	[scoffs] Beginner's luck!

Elliot:	Who are you?
Boog:	What do you mean? I'm your best friend!
Elliot:	McSquizzy?

Elliot:

BING! Shhh.

Elliot:

I can live without them!

Elliot:

Aaahhh!

Elliot:

I win!

Mr. Weenie:	Where are the others?
Elliot:	Oh, they're rescuing Mr. Weenie and Buddy. [Notices Buddy] Hey, Buddy.

Elliot:

RABBIT FIGHT!

Elliot:

Married!

Elliot:

I'm okay, guys.

Elliot:

[Along with Mr. Weenie] AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Elliot:

Shhhhh.

Elliot:

Bing!

Elliot:

[Investigating the Pet Paradiso parking lot] BING! Shhh.

Elliot:

I'm okay, guys! You don't care!

Elliot:	[After falling off the cliff] I'm okay, guys! You don't care.
McSquizzy:	Not really! Was that too harsh?

Elliot:

[Repeated line] Aaaahhh!

Elliot:

I'm not talking to a random, overweight sheepdog about my personal relationships. [Crosses his arms]

Elliot:	[After the argument; to Giselle] Hmph!
Elliot:	[after the argument; to Giselle] Hmph!

Elliot:

Forever AND after?

Elliot:	Who are you?
Boog:	What do you mean? I'm your best friend!
Elliot:	McSquizzy?
Boog:	McSquizzy? He doesn't even like you!
Elliot:	Look, I'm not talking to some random overweight sheepdog about my personal relationships.
Boog:	It's me, Boog!

Boog:	[Annoyed] Elliot!
Boog:	[annoyed] Elliot!
Elliot:	Wow, it is you! Did you lose weight?

Boog:	This plan will never work!
Elliot:	Don't doubt me, number two friend. Trust the plan.

Elliot:

We're not even married yet, and you're already telling me what to do.

Elliot:

Close to you!

Elliot:

Why do these birds and ducks suddenly appear every time you're near?! Unless, like me, they long to be close to you.

McSquizzy:	You're going the wrong way, you choob!
Elliot:	Oh, thank you very much. This is a shortcut-- [Falls off a cliff]
Elliot:	Oh, thank you very much. This is a shortcut.. [falls off a cliff]

Boog:	Giselle, we gotta stick together out here. We're partners, right?
Elliot:	[Long gasp] Boog! You traitor! [to Giselle] And you, traitor ex! Enjoy your new-found partnership!
Boog:	Oh, come on, Elliot...
Elliot:	I don't need any of you. I'll find Mr. Weenie on my own!

Boog:	[After Elliot's horn falls off] Ooh, that just ain't right.
Elliot:	Oh, come on!

Boog:	Look, man, we need Giselle. She's a good tracker.
McSquizzy:	Yeah! And without her, we never would have found Weenie and that giant, tin-canned thing!
Elliot:	Beginner's luck!

Elliot:

Giselle!

Elliot:
