Web Soup is a Clip Show that aired on G4TV from 2009-2011, hosted by Chris Hardwick. It's a Spinoff of E!'s The Soup; rather than TV clips, a variety of clips taken from around the internet are snarked upon.Common segments on this show include: "FIRSTIES!" — The first clip or two doesn't have a theme per se; it's just a term borrowed from the practice of racing to be the first to respond to a post on a message board, YouTube, etc. Mixed Nuts Sampler — A plethora of Groin Attack videos...usually self inflicted blows, at that. To drive the metaphor home, the title card is a parody of a Whitman's Sampler box with two walnuts, in which one of them splits apart. Please, Please, Please, For the Love of God, Don't Try This at Home — Someone does something really dangerous and/or stupid to themselves. Predictable consequences ensue. This Week in Fail — Someone tries to look cool on camera, and fails. Predictably and spectacularly. Operators Are Standing By — Strange local commercials that have found their way to the internet. Audience Participation — Twittershots, in which a clip is posted online for viewers to snark upon via Twitter; the best three make it to the show. Webcam Junction — Videos of people getting on their webcams and ranting about anything on their mind. Even if that anything is nothing at all. Web Soup Sports — Sports-related hijinks. That's Unincredible! — A video was intended to be awesome, but fell short. Is That Really A Thing? — Rule 36 in video form. WTF? — Something that "bizarre" doesn't even begin to describe. Please Stop the Music — Bad amateur music videos/performances. Why? — Somebody pulls a stupid stunt for reasons only known to them, and all we can ask is...Why? Things You Can't Un-See — A combination of Nausea- and/or Nightmare Fuel. Palate Cleanser — Immediately following Things You Can't Un-See, it counteracts the Nausea and Nightmares with pure sugary fare. THE GREATEST WEB VIDEO EVER! note this week — The last video of the show, which has elements from one or more of the tropes listed on this page. | |

Recycled Set: The show began to use the E! News set in the third season, the first time a Soup series wasn't shot in front of a green screen in a broom closet. | |

Couch Gag | |
| Web Soup / int_c4d09d24 | comment |
Couch Gag: The operator in Operators Are Standing By and the hillbilly in Webcam Junction. In Season 3, the opening sequence has Chris doing something strange on his way to the stage — delivering a baby, making a sandwich for a bystander, etc. — and the "FIRSTIES!" intro has the announcer in different situations as well (such as a Bond Gun Barrel). | |

Self-Deprecation: Hardwick is pretty much stuck on knowing most people still remember him only as the host of Singled Out and Shipmates eons ago and plays it for laughs. | |

Groin Attack: So many have appeared that in one episode, he consulted a special thesaurus to find fresh slang terms for the affected parts (he chose "Fraggle Rocks" and "Harry and the Hendersons"). | |
