In case you haven’t heard, Joel McHale is a pretty swell guy, as evidenced by the amazing live discussion he starred in here last Thursday. But, believe it or not, he’s even more swell than that!
You see, Joel loves all of you UPROXX readers so much that he ALSO agreed to do an UPROXX 20, so prior to last week’s Q&A we spent some time on the phone where he went through the standard twenty questions and gave me his answers. Go ahead and swoon a little more over him. He most certainly deserves it. And, of course, tune in to Community and The Soup regularly, but you probably already do that.
ANYWAY, on to our questions and Joel’s answers…
1. You walk into a bar. What do your order from the bartender?
You assume that I have time to walk into a bar.
2. Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
I’m gonna go with Donald’s dad.
3. What’s currently waiting for you on your DVR/TiVO?
I think it’s an old cup of coffee that’s sitting on top of it right now.
4. It’s your last meal — what are you going out with?
My guess is I’m not gonna be eating because I know my death is coming, so I’m not gonna be like, “Well, lobster’s great!” I’m gonna be more focused on my death.
5. What websites do you visit on a regular basis?
BBC, CNN, MSNBC, Metacritic, Reddit, and Clown Penis.
6. What’s the most frequently played song on your iPod?
Fuck you I have a Zune.
7. The first face that comes to mind when you think “punchable”?
Punch and Judy.
8. What’s your favorite meme?
Cocaine Bear. The bear covered in snow screaming “I fucking love cocaine.”
9. Dogs or cats?
I love both, preferably in a stir fry.
10. Best concert of your life was…?
I’m gonna go with Jorge Perez…He’s a guy who plays drums on four womens’ asses.
11. What book are you most likely to give as a gift?
I don’t give people books. It would be a DVD of a book. Or maybe a book on tape.
12. What’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
Asked me questions out loud over the phone.
13. South Park or Family Guy?
Stop putting me in these Sophie’s Choice-like situations.
14. You have an entire day to do whatever you want. What would you do?
I’m gonna grow gills and swim to the bottom of Marianas Trench.
15. What movie can you not resist watching if it’s on?
I’m a human being and I have free will. I have no problem turning off any movie.
16. Android or iPhone?
iPhone.
17. Where did you eat the best meal of your life?
I was too drunk to remember.
18. The last movie you saw in a theater?
The Black Stallion.
19. Who was your first celebrity crush?
Princess Leia.
20. What would you cook if Nic Cage was coming to your house for dinner?
A large, deep-baked casserole full of bees.

Joel McHale having a Zune has elevated my man crush to a whole new level.
I have a feeling he does not actually own a Zune.
I had the exact same thought
I want to believe he does and am going to remain in my fantasy world.
I still rock a Zune HD
As do I Whitey.
If he had a Zune he would probably not have an iPhone…
It’s a fine machine. I think mine is going on 5 years old, with few problems other than my general clumsiness. I really wish Microsoft hadn’t pulled the plug on the Zune.
still have mine. works just fine. i troll my friends with it too. that’s double the functionality people!
I don’t care if it it was sarcasm or not, Zunes are awesome.
I’m still using my 120gb, and I like its functionality so much better than my old iPhone.
I will use my Zune HD until it disintegrates.
I have a 120GB zune I’ve had for 5 years. No other mp3 player I’ve had has lasted that long.
I just realized what Jeff Winger is doing the whole time he’s fiddling with his phone on Community: HE’S COMMENTING ON WARMINGGLOW!!!
Does he mean Punch and Judy?
No. Joel means exactly what he means. But what Judy?
No, you’re right. I misheard him. Correcting now.
Judge
Cocaine bear with no hesitation. Heart you so hard, Joel McHale.
Is he the first star to know what a meme was?
I think. Combo of meme knowledge and going cocaine bear is why he is my spirit guide.
@Aloicious. He is the first to know what a meme is and yes it was a good one.
Such effortless brilliance.
That pic needs to be a meme.
Best meal answer was perfect. Every meal you have when you’re drunk is amazing.
Also, I hope I’m not the only one who had to Google Clown Penis.
*Spoiler alert, there is no Clown Penis website. The definitions on Urban Dictionary are hilarious.
When I was in high school, a friend showed me a joke site titled “Stop The Clown Porn!”, speaking out against the clown sex slave industry. I want to say the url was clownpenis.com, but I could be wrong
clownpenis dot fart was a fictional website in an old SNL skit if I remember correctly.
here’s a link:

Bonus Know Your Meme – the Nic Cage dinner of Bees. I’m going to watch The Soup and the Community tonight just for that.
So the real Joel McHale is pretty much Jeff Winger, right?
You’re just twisting the knife in all our hearts knowing we’ll never see Alison Brie interviewed on this website.
He’s lying about 15, no one can turn off Goodfellas when it’s on.
This is why I stay away from Spike TV most of the year.
Problem with Dog/Cat stir-fry is that there’s no wine that goes with both.
except for the whine of PETA members
Well done @Sep.
I don’t know 3 Penis Wine pairs pretty well too.
i think we just found out why rosé wine exists
Good. But my favorites so far have been Mike Rowe and Jaleel White. It’s just so hard to be impressed after having been exposed to their answers.
I agree. It’s great to see the guest expound on their answers and put in some thought. Granted that Joel McHale probably has the comedy improv ingrained to give quick answers. Lets be honest though, Mike and Jaleel probably have a lot more free time.
“A large, deep-baked casserole full of bees.”
Perfect answer, you have once again stolen my heart, Mr McHale.
I bought a refurbished Zune HD at a great GREEAt discount and it worked for 6 months. Then I hit it with a 4-wood and it belongs to nature now.
Did someone just steal my heart by making a reference in #5 to a 2008 SNL skit? Yes, yes he did.
(Okay, that’s not true, he already had it.)
2008? More like 98, or 99.
Princess :Leia. Love that.
