It's really unseemly how much we love this heinous show,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Drawn Together - The Complete Series (DVD)
Got this for Christmas "for my husband." Yeah, right. Fact is, it was as much for me as for him. We save it to watch just before bed on only the worst, most stressful days, because it's so incredibly hilarious and utterly vicious. This show gleefully shatters taboos you hadn't even realized existed.
Let me say right here that I don't think offensiveness is funny just because it's offensive. That's lazy humor, and it's boring. This humor is funny because it's brilliantly well written, it offers a joke about every 15 seconds, it's character-driven, and the comedy springs from its premise: A parody of the kinds of "reality show" that put dysfunctional people together in the same living quarters and watch them fight, act out, and drive each other crazy. I hate those kinds of shows, but I love Drawn Together. Unlike those reality shows, it somehow retains its humanity and even some sense of compassion for the insane characters. Go figure. It wallows in the worst and, by mercilessly mocking it, somehow makes me feel good. I'm so sorry they cancelled this brilliant thing. Oh, Drawn Together, this world was never meant for one so... *sniff*... beautiful as you.

Makes South Park look like a Merchant Ivory film,
By
This review is from: Drawn Together - The Complete Series (DVD)
The show is about a "Cartoon Reality Show". Various character archetypes from reality shows e.g. Captain Hero (the Superman character), the Princess (the Disney Princess character) and misc cartoons live together in a house. Outlandish hijinks ensue that often poke fun at real-life stereotypes (e.g. Ling-Ling, the "pikachu" character speaks "Engrish") and cartoon cliches (i.e. Captain Hero reads his own origin story). And of course, as mentioned raunchy hijinks necessarily ensue.
This is a low-brow (no political or social commentary like South Park), but funny show with lots of scatological humor, pop culture references, and a ridiculously over-the top nature. If you like over the top slapstick and scatological humor, you'll like this show. If you're in college, the board game set included is also pretty nice, and the special features include a "milk" drinking game. If I was 10 years younger, I'd probably think it was amazing. Recommended if you like Tripping the Rift (the humor is fairly similar) or South Park. *Just a warning - if you're easily offended don't watch this show. It makes South Park look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur by comparison. It really is probably the most offensive thing I've ever seen on TV. At some point, every human being will be offended by something on it. It kind of reminds me of Fritz the Cat, except funnier. They explore every possible stereotype regarding race, religion, and orientation humanly possible. There are also plenty of graphic discussions and depictions of sex and nudity. This show is the kind of thing that would give the PMRC nightmares. I'd watch an episode on comedy central's website before purchasing. This show is really, really offensive and the DVD is uncensored which is much more offensive.

Funny-but dont watch when you're eating!,
By Bean Slap (COLORADO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawn Together - The Complete Series (DVD)
Funny show about a variety of cartoon characters from different shows "drawn together" into a reality tv show. Of course the angle of the show is to mock reality tv shows and the stupidity they entail. Real funny and one of the rarer places to find where they go further than most shows. I say dont watch when youre eating because there are far too many barf, fart, poop, blood,snot, bodily fluids,gore or other nasties to not get a little grossed out-even though they are just cartoons!
