S02.E13: Joel McHale vs. Jim Rash

[The Crazed Spruce]

Actors Joel McHale and Jim Rash compete against one another.

Joel was great at lip syncing. I wasn't blown away by his second song. I didn't know the song, but the performance was just weird.

Jim clearly won as a performer. He was incredible in both songs. I laughed so hard when he turned around after giving the lap dance and just pointed at Joel's crotch. 

It's clear that these two play well off each other. I really DO hope they get another show together. I'd watch the heck out of anything they do.

My DVR cut off before the results--who won?

Fantastic battle.  These two really brought it in their performances.  Jim Rash was the winner, but he worked for that win. 

I love the second half of this season so much more than the first half, except for the Tatum battle.  Last week with Hayley and Clark was also a terrific battle.  These are more fun, and the performances show it.

This is so weird. No new episode taped for me last night, and my onscreen guide shows 2:13 as Clark Gregg vs. Hayley Atwell, which I watched and enjoyed last week. Thanks to this thread, I knew enough to hunt it down OnDemand, where it was hidden as episode 2:9.  Thanks to this thread, I found it OnDemand, and loved it. So much fun! I've really liked almost all the sycners, even if I didn't know them or like them before. I smile through the whole thing.

@Darian, this episode was listed as a repeat on my DVR. I just happened to be looking at upcoming episodes and noticed that this was listed as a repeat and wasn't set to record. I had to record this as a single instance since my series recording skipped over it.  I wonder if something similar happened with you.

It was a great battle. I liked the second song Joel did but I didn't recognize the staging.  I imagine it's an homage to something but not something I could place.  Jim Rash was just amazing and fun.  I loved his energy and choreography.

Wow. That was even weirder than McHale's version.

He was very good at lip syncing. I thought the performance was a perfect parody/homage to Bjork's original video but I think he suffered from it not being a well-known song - Jim has the better idea by picking a well-known pop song that the audience would recognise.

But they both fully committed and my husband and I were laughing hysterically through most of it, including the behind the scenes stuff!
