Since we did favorite Mike moments last week, let’s give the original host equal time. Let’s hear your favorite Joel moments. Here are my top ten, in episode order:

• 107- ROBOT MONSTER–Joel narrates the love scene, borrowing liberally from Alice Cooper
• 202- THE SIDEHACKERS–Song: Only Love Pads the Film–Joel has long stretches of unfunny lyrics directly from the movie to sing, but still makes them funny.
• 204- CATALINA CAPER–Joel vapor-locks as he remembers the ’60s. Joel is not known for being a master of long monologues, but he nails this one.
• 213- GODZILLA VS. THE SEA MONSTER–Joel succumbs to space madness. Joel actually sort of acts! And does well!
• 301- CAVE DWELLERS–His face in the final segment, when he complains to the Mads about the movie, is priceless.
• 310- FUGITIVE ALIEN–Old Joel Robinson had a farm? Every once in a while, the bots find Joel completely immersed in some odd reverie and have no idea how to react. This is probably my favorite.
• 407- THE KILLER SHREWS–And here’s another one: Joel vapor-locks while trying to do Will Rogers.
• 416- FIRE MAIDENS OF OUTER SPACE–Joel is pretty much brilliant throughout the whole Dark Timmy story arc.
• 512- MITCHELL–Joel departs, and gives us the exact right balance of pathos and silly.
• 1001- SOULTAKER–A returned Joel offers some uplifting thoughts, and handles his return splendidly.

Least favorite moment:
• 210- KING DINOSAUR–The Joey the Lemur sketch. I like the fact that people blow their lines and they just keep going, but Joel blows SO many here. Start again!
