Drawn Together
« on: 22 Nov 2007, 23:31 »

How many people here have actually watched it?

Because I, and I know I'll live to regret saying this, like it.

It's so completely inane, but...it's a good inane. The ridiculous pop culture references are fast, obscure, and aren't immediately preceded with "Remember that time...". The disgusting shock humor knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to shoehorn 'social satire' into anything.

The episode I'm watching is a parody of Hostel set in a Hot Topic, where annoying cartoon characters are tortured for profit. That's not even trying to make sense or be insightful, but it's damn hilarious to watch Davey and Goliath burn to death.

I watched it, and I think it was epically terrible.

The one episode I saw was the most wretchedly, aggressively mediocre things it's ever been my misfortune to stumble across on television. And I live in the country that invented Neighbours.

 The show is pretty funny at its peak, but there are moments of complete un-funniness.

admittedly, i don't watch much television but i've seen little bits of this here and there and every second was like a thousand years encased in ice that is on fire.

what i'm getting at is that Drawn Together is terrible. ozy, i congratulate you for finding something positive about this show.

You have real talent.

I've only seen a few episodes. It had its moments but it was mostly crap.
The one thing you'll ever need to remember from it are "Clum Babies". Call me juvenile but I do, indeed, find that funny

I used to watch it, and it was hilarious.

Now a days I dont laugh often, so when I watched it I didnt like it.

There were some points in Season One that I chuckled at when I caught pieces of an episode, but I'd say as a whole it has been inane and disappointing.  Offensiveness for the sheer sake of it.

As for the black and white alcoholic girl, does anyone actually think that showing her doing something absolutely disgusting is funny in any way?

I think the humor with her makes more sense in the context of her being Betty Boop.

I watched a few episodes of this in the first couple of seasons. I gave it a fair chance. I really did. I wanted to like it too. I just couldn't get past it being painfully unfunny 96% of the time.

to me it the episodes are usually hit or miss, though I can't say I have been following it since the end of the second season

I remember watching some of the first season and thinking it was kind of funny, but I do believe I stopped after one or two episodes because it just kinda got dumb.

watching this show makes me feel the same way after spending a night looking up some really odd fetish porns. Sure, it is interesting, but ultimately, I feel really sick, and gross, and in disparate need for a shower, with bleach.

I do, actually. It is interesting. It's not like "ohmygod, hot porns!!!!" It's more "Oh my god. what the hell?"

I remember that I was looking forward to it coming out. I thought it had a good concept, since Reality TV was driving me nuts at the time and I figured it could have used some lancing. But it came out and was more or less an unremarkable context free Family Guy-esque gag delivery system. Oh well.
