Shirtlessness starts at 1:10 if you have that short of an attention span
DListed just posted this video and I got kind of irrationally happy for a moment and assumed that Joel McHale was just named People’s sexiest man alive! He wasn’t though, this is just his “audition” video for People. Apparently he was supposed to make a “mundane” activity look sexy, so he made some coffee in a french press and served it, shirtless, to the other guys from the show including Dani Pudi (Abed), Donald Glover (Troy), Ken Jeong (Senor Chang), and Jim Rash (Dean Pelton). All that’s missing is Chevy Chase! You know he has droopy moobs, but I still would have loved to see him here. The Dean is giving me Moby vibes here, and I also find him so hot! Who knew?

At about 1:30, the boys starts take off their pants with Pudi (Abed) unbuckling McHale’s belt for him! The video ends before we get to see the goods though, which is a shame. My other complaint is that it’s pitifully low res. This needs to be in HD.

Now I’m imagining McHale serving me coffee shirtless while cracking jokes. It’s actually making my day. It’s also making me consider getting a french press so I can prolong the fantasy. God, I’m so much of a fan girl that I want to have the same type of coffee as McHale.

Also, can you guys please start tuning into Community on Thursday nights on NBC or watching it online? We have no affiliation with NBC or the show at all, but I just love it so much and I’m afraid that it will be canceled due to low ratings soon. That show is ridiculous at times, but it’s also funny as hell and so unique.

Oh this reminds me that Diablo Cody interviewed Joel McHale (video above) as part of her “Red Band Trailer” web series. It’s long at 14 minutes, and if you want to get to the good part just go to about 9:10. McHale’s dry humor and excellent delivery really come through. He talks about his career and how he got his start. At around 3:00 in he discusses his gig on “The Soup.” He joked that when they got their start “we would do things just to see if the network noticed. Sometimes they did.” They talk about “Community” around 4:00 in. He addresses the fact that it’s in a crap timeslot at 8:00 on NBC Thursday:

“In the Fall, it’s on against NFL football. In the Spring, it’s up against American Idol. Other than that we have no competition other than Big Bang Theory.”

McHale also talks about some of his upcoming films, including The Big Year with Steve Martin and Ted with Mark Wahlberg.

At 9:18 (again in this video), Joel holds a rented baby and sits at a Tiki bar to answer questions. This part is hysterical. They claim the baby’s name is Inspector Maroon Five.

On the Kardashians:
Thank god for their ratings and their marketing genius and Bruce Jenner’s face.

If Ryan Seacrest could fire him
Ryan Seacrest has the power to kill all of us right now.

Kody also asks him about the fact that he’s been married since 1996. He jokes that he’s “very abusive, that’s how I keep her…. No, she’s great. I’m very lucky. I couldn’t do any better than her and we really like each other. I never thought about being with anyone [else] and she’s just the best. And we have two little boys. Isn’t that great?” Awww!

Here are a bunch of photos of McHale shirtless from last season’s Community. [via Squarehippies]
