Drawn Together

ChristHimself! · 09-01-2006, 07:41 AM

Here in the UK you don't hear about shit until about 5 years after it's actually happened.

I just discovered Drawn Together a couple of weeks ago and have sinced watched seasons 1 + 2. I really wish the episodes were longer and there were more seasons (I hear season 3 comes out in the US soonish?) but the sense of humour in it is just right up my alley, so much of it just tickled me.

I love Captain Hero, Ling Ling and Xandir.

The thing was that I'd never even heard the name of the program before, my brother had got it on dvd from a friend. Anyone else a fan?

i've heard of it before, there was a big poster of it up at my uni. it described all the characters, eg "captain hero - lame superhero", "xandir - gay adventurer" and "ling ling - socipathic pocket monster". i was intrigued. hm maybe they have some eps on youtube? i'll look

They do, but I think it's mostly half episodes and odd scenes. One of my mates is torturing himself by watching through them till i get back next weekend with a copy of the 2 series for him.

it's hit or miss

Izzle · 09-01-2006, 08:45 AM

it's technically funny i guess, but i found this clip more horrifying than enjoyable:

Izzle · 09-01-2006, 08:48 AM

man, that clip is just sick and disturbing. i don't like this show anymore

That's just because you had flashbacks to the sandwich incident dude.

Izzle · 09-01-2006, 09:03 AM

you think?

i was specifically horrified by the gratuitous execution of the woman

celluloid_love · 09-01-2006, 09:07 AM

it's not funny

You might get one funny moment in an episode if you're lucky

ammy · 09-01-2006, 09:45 AM

i thought it tried too hard or something.. every once in a while it was funny.

so like the others said, hit or miss

ChristHimself! · 09-01-2006, 09:56 AM

fuck y'all

(BIRDS!!!)

KrazeeStacee · 09-01-2006, 09:57 AM

I think it's great. We've been watching it since it came on, and now it's getting a little old but it's still funny as hell. One of my favorites is when Ling Ling gives off some psychedelic substance when he's disappointed.

I love when they have become total addicts and give up on elaborate tricks

"look ling ling there's a quarter, no it's not"

Ling Ling is my favorite character

I can't remember what it was, but I think he was trying to pronounce the name of a shampoo? Was that even the same episode? Anyway he's like Plurr or something and it had me giggling for a while.

TheCatCameBack · 09-01-2006, 02:18 PM

It would've been better if they had done it Harvey Birdman style with existing cartoon characters.

homechicago · 09-01-2006, 02:24 PM

I've tried to like "Drawn Together" but it isn't consistently funny, and I agree with the statement that it tries too hard.

Perfect Hair Forever is more to my liking. The Coiffio segement here is funny. How can you miss with a singing hot dog?

Fattening Ass · 09-01-2006, 02:27 PM

season 2 wasn't as good as season 1

TuralyonW3 · 09-01-2006, 03:08 PM

drawn together is ok but a big letdown compared to south park/family guy.

perfect hair forever is brilliant, esp. if you're high

has anyone seen the korgath of barbaria pilot?

Yeah, very Venture Bros.'y, but still bad-assfully fun.

I thought it was way funnier than venture bros. I really hope they make it a series

Mablak · 09-01-2006, 03:42 PM

I find drawn together consistently fairly funny, but sometimes it's ruined by a couple things. For one, a lot of the funny moments revolve solely around violence or sex humor, still funny, but the show could use more generic/intelligent humor that doesn't have to rely on often random violence / sex jokes. Also yeah, each show really dishes out joke after joke, I wouldn't say it tries too hard when most of the material is great, there just needs to be more build-up sometimes, and sometimes you're confronted with one joke while you're concentrating on another, but anyway, a lot of creative humor comes out of that show.

my favourite episode is when ling ling gets his eyes taped open.

i'm lame and don't have aim. laziness is the enemy that keeps me down. but thank you all the same.

how would you describe it though?

Orenthal James · 09-01-2006, 08:12 PM

very much like venture brothers. extremely violent. extremely ridiculous plotlines. extremely ridiculous characters. extremely bizarre shit happening all the time.

i think im hyping it up a little too much here.

but its still good.

Mablak · 09-01-2006, 08:15 PM

I just watched korgoth via youtube. It definitely wasn't that funny, but it was pretty enjoyable, the animation is so crazily dirty/ugly, that is easily the coolest aspect of it.
