Okay, so I noticed I've been down on Joel in most of my recent postings, and hey even a bearded fungus-topped dwarf can feel guilty every once in a while, so I got to thinking about some really, really great Joel antics.
And I admit that I'm not the biggest Joel booster.
But I LOVE LOVE LOVE Joel's scene in "Operation Double 007" where he stalks around the SOL like Mr. Big, hamming it up with the cigar and saying "I KNOW" to everything the bots tell him.
That just might be my very favorite Joel sketch.
What's yours?

Man, there are a lot of them. A lot more in my opinion, than there are of Mike... which isn't a slight to Mike at all, but more the host segments (yeah I'm one of those who feel it dropped in quality after Frank left).
Personal favorites of mine have to include Joel being turned into Arch Hall Jr., the Captain Joe reenactment from Fugitive Alien (where he stuffs grapes in his mouth) and the Trumpy goes insane sketch... ooh! Along with the Idiot Control Now sketch. In fact, pretty much all the sketches from Pod People are great.

The parody of the horrid pop song in "Pod People". A wonderfully hilarious moment.
There are others of course, but I'm another of the few who actually prefer Mike's host segments.

I'm sure there's some better one's I'm forgetting, but off the top of my head, I'd have to say Joel as the farmer from Fugitive Alien. Not the funniest sketch from the Joel era, but probably the funniest Joel ever was during a sketch.

I second all the Pod People skits. I loved it when he says "It stinks!"...that never gets old. And I didn't laugh out loud during the objects going nuts skit until the rack of clothes came out.

Joel's off-the-cuff remarks about the 60s in Catalina Caper is a favorite of mine.
"People would smoke, openly, on the Tonight Show."

I quite like all the sketches from Eegah!, myself. When we as a nation said 'no' to Yahoo Serious.

I enjoy many Joel sketches, I'm in the camp the feels the host segs were slightly better in the Joel years. I guess my fave would be the My White Goddess sketch from Jungle Goddess. I thought Joel played it perfect, and the Jackie Gleason ending was the icing on the cake.

Being a big QM fan, Joel's The Explorers skit was always a favorite. The way the bots just not going along with it, then Joel's Barnaby Jones tie-in at the end. So, so Joel. Loves me some QM Productions! My latest Avatar: Knew Cannon, I did!! |

There's so many classic host segments in season 2. Funny/Not Funny Floating Charlie McCarthy hearings Civil Defense Quiz Bowl The Old School Intellectual Bikers Hugh Beaumont visits on the Hexfield the Explorers sketch And of course all the ones from GvsM are great. |

Anytime that Joel and the Bots would do a song, it was usually a great sketch. Pod People, Daddy-O for example. Or the song for Attack of the Giant Leeches.
The sketch for Operation Double 007 was great, and I just watched that episode for the first time a few days back. Definitely a great sketch, and it would get my vote.
