The Big Picture As Animal Control firmly establishes itself as a deftly smart and mature series in its sophomore season, the single-camera comedy delivered one of the show’s best episodes yet on Wednesday night. In a half-hour that was laugh-out-loud funny and found series star Joel McHale sharing the screen with his former Community co-star, Ken Jeong, for ridiculously hilarious shenanigans, the Fox sitcom is swiftly setting itself apart from other primetime comedies.
It’s at this moment that McHale interjects and claims, Jeong’s “not funny.” Naturally, at this point, the two begin to argue and Patel counters his co-star’s assertion. However, McHale admits that Jeong has “low energy” and it was this that put him off. “He doesn’t bring it when the camera’s on. I had to do a lot of extra work to make the scenes exciting. I don’t know his work,” he teased. “, he was so funny, so I hope he’ll come back because he needs the work.
Along the way, Frank will also get some help from Emily, who McHale points out is helping him piece it all together. “My character is very excited because it’s like old police work — because he was fired from the force,” he says. “So, he’s really excited about this kind of investigation again, and we come across some exotic animals, including a lemur.”
McHale adds there is a caveat to that dynamic though. “A lot of times when Ravi and I are in scenes, he starts clapping after I say a great joke. I’m like, ‘You gotta keep the scene going, dude.’” Yet, Patel sees it otherwise: “Things happen. People uncouple.” While McHale is surprised at the prediction, Patel says he’s simply predicting twists and turns to make the show exciting, to which McHale joked it’s going to be “Patel and Shred” together at the end of the series.
