 Hey Joel
comment
Hey Joel was an animated sitcom that aired on VH1 in 2003. The plot revolved around Joel Stein, a talk show host who was only interested in talking about himself. Supporting characters included his producer Michele and production assistant, Kevin. Celebrities often appear in the show, and often play important roles in the plots, but never actually have their voice provided by the actual person. That includes Stein himself, a real-life music columnist for The Los Angeles Times and Time magazine and a talking head on VH1's I Love the Exties series of shows. While he created the show, Stein's character is instead voiced by Jon Cryer.

The Tease
 Hey Joel / int_1c571556
comment
The Tease: Michele sometimes uses Joel's crush on her to manipulate him. A perfect example would be when she wanted to prove she could book a Rolling Stone, she told Joel the breasts he'd grown as a side effect from a bulk up powder, were sexy, because Bill Wyman would do the show if he thought Joel was a young girl.

Sensitivity Training: Joel and the rest of the people working at VH1 are forced to undergo this because, as Z puts it, if they don't stop with all of the sexually-suggestive talk, "we'll be screwed."

My Eyes Are Up Here: A bulk up powder causes Joel to grow a pair of breasts in one episode. During his show Bill Wyman won't stop staring at his chest, prompting him to say this. Theres also a song about it earlier in the episode.
