Drawn Together is my favorite new show.
Has anyone else been watching this completely insane new show on Comedy Central? It's an animated parody of those crappy "fishbowl" reality shows and the writers have to be high. I love it.

Is it wrong that I think Xandir is hot? And that he looked even hotter in the Slave Leia outfit? Hee.

1. It is funny
I have not caught all the episodes, but the ones I watched were great. I hope they run a marathon this weekend so I can catch up.

I guess that made it for my falling in love with it. I mean, if we are to go nuts, at least spoof the right targets!
The princess is the best - and the Octopusoise....:evilgrin:

3. Totally hilarious.
THAT'S NOT CHARMING! :D

Foxxy is my other favorite character besides Xandir. She's a freakin' riot, I loved it when she had Charlie Brown on the leash! "Come on, Blockhead, I'mma give you some good grief."

So incredibly wrong, but so damn funny. :)

4. Just got a video for my kid: "My neighbor Totoro" - an anime story
not bad at all really. But Totoro looks exactly like LingLing which gives me a secret amusement when watching.

5. Hehe
Well, when I have to be somewhere on Saturdays I always set the timer on my TV to come on the local WB channel (I figure loud cartoons will wake me up). I did that the other day and what should come on but Pokemon Advanced Challenge. Not that I could take Pokemon seriously before, but I REALLY can't take it seriously now...thank god Ash and friends haven't figured out Pikachu is a walking LSD tab (not to mention a Scientologist).

Poor Ling-Ling, I felt SO bad for him in that last episode. One of these days the little guy is just gonna snap and kill the rest of them, just you wait. :evilgrin:

Japanese one shape fits all furry ball with pointy ears creation. In case you missed it, it was the South Park's version on the Pokemon trying to take over the world by ensnaring kids. (It was defeated by parents joining in - thus making it uncool, discarded - a triumph for ADD)

7. I remember that episode
Funny as hell. The sad thing is I wanted a Chimpoco Man plushie, if they made one I'd totally buy it.

Geez. :crazy:

8. Yeah that's one reality TV show I can get into
I love that they made the characters look like famous cartoon characters
Only who/what is Spanky Ham? I recognize Betty Boop, Princess Ariel, Superman, Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats and Pikachu but what "real" character is Spanky Ham? And does anyone know who does the voices? They flash by so damn fast I can't read 'em. I saw Adam Corolla's name, but that's it.

9. Not sure
I think he's just supposed to be some generic character representing the disgusting unfunny legions of webcomics out there but I think that's just my generalized hate of that genre talking.

As always, IMDB is your best bet for finding out who's on a tv show. Here's the list though:

Spanky - Adam Corolla
Captain Hero - Jess Harnell
Ling-Ling - Abbey McBride
Xandir - Jack Plotnick
Toot/Clara - Tara Strong
Foxxy - Cree Summer
Wooldoor - James Arnold Taylor

I'm such a huge dork though that I recognized almost half the characters' voice actors as people from the Final Fantasy X games. Tara Strong voiced Rikku in both of them, James Arnold Taylor was Tidus in both, and Cree Summer was Belgemine in the first and Lenne in the second. Actually, aside from Abbey McBride, who apparently is an unknown, and Adam Corolla, who is known for being a tool, if you've played enough video games and/or watched enough cartoons you've probably heard these folks before. Jack Plotnick is another exception, he hasn't done any previous voiceover work according to IMDB and has just has a series of forgettable bit parts in various tv shows/films. I think it's funny that Jess Harnell also voiced Wakko Warner on Animaniacs. American voice acting circles are pretty incestuous though and you tend to see the same people over and over again *cough*CreeSummer*cough*.
