There is no audience but the crew will often laugh loudly at the clips and McHale's comments and cheer whenever a favorite segment/clip is shown.

Regular features/running gags:

At the mid-point, the show will feature "Reality Show Clip Time!" where clips from various reality shows are played with McHale throwing in sarcastic comments on them.

At one point in the above, a clip will run from "Iron Chef America" where the secret ingredient is shown, the crew cheering at the way it's announced in a loud manner.

"Chat Stew" shows clips from various talk shows with equal comments.

Also a regular feature are looks at the Sci-Fi Channel's original movies with McHale mocking the cheap special effects and bad acting involved.

Among the many clips that have been shown, one has become a regular gag: A clip from "Being Bobby Brown" of Whitney Houston wildly shouting "Kiss my ass!" The clip has popped up in nearly every episode since it was first shown, always to a loud ovation, with McHale at one point calling it "the 'Hey Jude' of clips."
