Drawn Together
Drawn Together is a fictional animated parody of reality TV shows on Comedy
Central. Comedy Central advertises it as the first animated reality show. In it,
eight cartoon characters (mostly recognizable parodies of cartoon archetypes)
are forced to live in a house together. It is adult-oriented, with plot lines
revolving around such topics as the fact that Princess Clara's vagina is a multi-tentacled
monster (this is a theme found in a number of adult-oriented Japanese Anime films).
In some episodes, characters participate in challenges that are based off of reality
TV challenges.
Drawn Together was created by Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein, and first aired
on 27 October 2004.
Characters
Captain Hero
Voiced by Jess Harnell. Captain Hero is a chauvinistic superhero with a frat-boy
mentality. He is also a devoteé of bondage and crypto-homosexual behaviour.
He is a macho parody of comic-book heroes like Superman.
Princess Clara
Voiced by Tara Strong. She is spoiled, pampered, racist royalty, and a spoof
on Disney/storybook characters like Snow White and Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
She has a "special" cousin named Bleh. Her genitalia was cursed by her
stepmother. She also has a crush on rebels like Spanky.
Ling-Ling
Voiced by Abbey McBride. He/it (Ling-Ling was placed on the male team in a
parody of The Apprentice, but is usually called "it") is a spoof on
Pikachu and speaks in an incomprehensible parody of Japanese. Though the other
characters cannot understand it, they often pretend it is saying just what they
want to hear. It is suggested that Spanky Ham can understand it, but doesn't bother
to translate for the housemates. It releases an hallucinogenic enzyme when disappointed.
Foxxy Love
Voiced by Cree Summer. She is a sassy, promiscuous, African-American fox-girl,
and a spoof on Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats. Foxxy in several lines on
the show hints at a deranged relationship with her father, with elements of abandonment
and a desire for her father. There are also hints that she gave up a child for
adoption.
Spanky Ham
Voiced by Adam Carolla. He is a horny, dorky swine with no social skills, making
fun of bad internet flash movies. He often bosses around other characters for
his personal gain. He is a spoof on Porky Pig and also resembles porn star Ron
Jeremy, who was featured in the reality show The Surreal Life.
Xandir
Voiced by Jack Plotnick. He is gay and a spoof of Link from the Legend of Zelda.
Like many platform characters, he has multiple lives. Until he comes "out
of the closet" he is on a "never ending quest to save his girlfriend"
who is a spoof of the eponymous Zelda from the Legend of Zelda and other video
game maidens. Thereafter he is on on "never ending quest to save his boyfriend",
the boyfriend being a parody of Robin Williams's character, the Genie, from Disney's
Aladdin.
Toot Braunstein
Voiced by Tara Strong. She is a feisty black & white former sex symbol
and a spoof on Betty Boop. She cuts herself or overeats when depressed (which
is often). She is upset when other characters are getting a lot of attention.
Wooldoor Sockbat
Voiced by James Arnold Taylor. He is a spoof on Spongebob Squarepants.
