I personally really like Mike over Joel. Not that Joel was bad or anything.
I don't know episodes per say but I do know skits.
Mike: The singing one with it raining out the window, The 'Don't give matches to Mikey' one, and When he was Captain Janeway.
Joel: The newspaper spinning one, ah... geeze I'm having to think on his more. XD; I don't remember that many. Though I'll chalk that up to having seen the Mike episodes more. Was it also Joel who had to collect the bots when they were trying to leave the theater? Or was that Mike? *ELISA FAIL*
Haha! Those a great skits. Well as for the Joel Vs. Mike I can't say I love them both but I used o just be onto Mike. Joel has some GREAT episodes. Pretty much all of season 3 and 4 are gold.
The skit you are thinking of is episode 107 - Mad monster, when Joel had to wrangle the bots. "you can't make me!"
Also Mike has to wrangle the monsters during Hobgoblins.
