Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Arc_Reviews This show mainly relies two selling factors. One is the concept of the show and the second is all the outrageous drama in the show.So the concept of the show is interesting, you have these cartoon characters parodying different cartoon media forced to live together. It's okay. So how about the characters. Now the biggest problem I have with the show are each of these characters. They are parody characters and are essentially designed to tell one joke over and over again. So they are pretty much one dimensional characters. Clara is probably the worst example. She's racist she has no motivation for her actions other than she's racist and that's one joke she tells over and over again. Even more I don't understand the joke about these characters or what they are supposed to be. Woldor is some SpongeBob parody. Xander is an effeminate Link from the Legend of Zelda. I guess it supposed to be a reference to how a lot of people think Link looks like a girl and of course the main joke they tell is Xander is gay jokes.Now what they are parodying is not a huge problem. The bigger problem is that these 1-dimensional characters designed to tell one joke can't run a show for 22 minutes straight. In reality television you have all these complex personalities butting heads with one another, but Drawn Together pits eight cardboard cutouts and see how far they can go with it. After a while the jokes get old and the characters don't have complex motivations for their actions.So the second selling factor is how crazy and over the top the stories are. This is actually what the show is best at creating these wacky situations to put the characters in. It is absolutely insane and it works... at least partially. This over the top drama comes at expense to the characters. Which character do you want to come out on top? No one. I don't want to be invested into any of them they as are all as horrible as possible and are way too simple characters to care about. The over the top drama and shock humor get to the point where it's overplayed, everything is in your face and taken to the point where is does get old really fast. Sure they create interesting situations but after awhile nothing really shocks you.This type of show can only be taken in small doses because it gets old really fast.
mwcrunner This is a show I'm never ever watching again. I mean I know that Tara Strong is one of the voices in this show, but I like it better when she's voicing Bubbles and Twilight Sparkle. I do not recommend this show to anyone. I mean there's too much gross stuff in this and it makes me sick. One of the many things in this show that also makes me sick is that in the pilot episode, we see Powerpuff Girl Bubbles and she is pregnant. I mean who would want to see a 5 year old girl be pregnant? Nobody that's who. That makes me so mad. Also why is there a peverted orange atrocity of Pikachu in this? That's also sickening. I mean all the main characters in this show make me sick including this one character that Tara Strong voices who is of course an abomination of Betty Boop. It may seem funny to other people but to me it's just completely and utterly unpleasant. Horrible, just horrible.
Stalfos Conner The idea of the show is quite inventive. The show is a spoof of reality shows and the characters are spoofs of well known characters. Put together in a house, what could go wrong? Well, an awfully lot. It's really a missed opportunity because the show could have been great. The show tries desperately to be at least ranked among shows like Beavis and Butt-Head (1993), South Park (1997) and Family Guy (1999), with the intention to surpass them in offensiveness, shock and smuttiness. Movies and TV shows nowadays have the tendency to support and promote sexual promiscuity, sexual perversity, drug usage and the trashing of Christianity. Not only is Drawn Together one of such shows, it also tries to do it more more than any other TV show or movie. Drawn Together is so desperate to achieve that goal that everything that makes a good TV show (story, character development, etc) is thrown out of the window. What is left is hard to explain because the show acts more like a device to test what can be shown on TV and what will be accepted by the audience. It's really a shame because the idea of the show is good.The fourth wall is broken all the time. That doesn't have to be a problem, but it is in this show because of the lack of continuity. The characters talk to us as if they watching the TV show with us. Whatever you see in the show it's completely irrelevant because of the lack of continuity. You may see someone dying at one point with a complete dramatic scene, then that person is alive and well in another scene and everybody acts as if nothing has happened. Thus no episode has any real story to tell. It all comes down to pushing the limits of what is acceptable (on TV and by the audience). It's all about shock, offensiveness and smuttiness. In that regard, the show's attempt to spoof film and TV clichés backfires because the show itself becomes overloaded with clichés. The main characters of the show are a good example of that.Captain Hero, a spoof of Superman, is a mentally challenged pansexual sociopath (even worse than Family Guy's Glenn Quagmire). Xandir P. Wifflebottom, a spoof of Link from the Legend of Zelda video games, is a feminized gay (often portrayed as one of the most reasonable characters of the show). Princess Clara, a spoof of Disney princesses, is racist, religious, spoiled, selfish, arrogant and anti-gay. Get the drift? Anything religious and heterosexual is portrayed as insane, hateful and wrong. Anything anti-religious and sexually perverse is portrayed as sane, loving and right. In other words, it follows the the standards of the movie and music industry nowadays, but taken to the extreme in Drawn Together. Once you figure out what the characters are about, they become highly predictable (the show uses shock and offensiveness to combat the predictability, at the cost of rationality, continuity, etc) and therefore clichés. That's how the show also tries to make "jokes". It's like a movie that markets itself as a horror movie that is scary but all the movie really shows is show people getting chopped up in pieces. Gore is not scary, it's just repulsive. Likewise, anything based purely on shock and offensiveness is not funny, it's repulsive. That's exactly how bad Drawn Together is. Some TV shows (like Family Guy) limit themselves in how much they show their support or mere exposure to sex, drug use, etc. Not Drawn Together. The show is overloaded with sex, even exposure to incest and/or inbreeding ("Hot Tub" (season 1, episode 1), "Xandir and Time, Sitting in a Tree" (season 2, episode 11), "Little Orphan Hero" (season 2, episode 3), Unrestrainable Trainable (season 3, episode 4), etc). Drug use, necrophilia, murder (even the murder of children to sell their meat (Unrestrainable Trainable)), racism, etc. That's basically what the show is all about. Insulting Christianity, for example, is enough for most TV shows and movies today, but Drawn Together has to go one step further, like portraying God as touching a penis in curiosity (Gay Bash (season 1, episode 3)). That's Drawn Together, it's shockingly bad, has no standards whatsoever and it's so far the worst insult to TV viewers and their intelligence. I have personally never seen a show (or movie) that has sunk so low, is so disgusting and has absolutely no conscience, humanity or anything like that.Drawn Together is worst adult cartoon ever. Period.
sebabella I don't hate this show because is disgusting and crude, I mean South Park and Beavis and Butt-head are pretty amazing, but no, I hate because they forget to make jokes. The idea is good, make fun of cartoon characters, like the Disney princess, for example, and reality shows(which suck). But instead of that, they just cram in as many fart jokes as they can in an episode, wow, this makes the king of comedy crap, Family Guy, look o.k. I mean wow, talk about boring, the plots are so uninteresting. Again I don't hate this show because it makes no sense, cause I knooowww its a cartoon, but I mean its seriously unfunny. They keep going for the shock laugh or the "Oh my God! they showed that on TV??!?! i guess i hafta laugh..." But I guess I cant blame Comedy Central, its the sh*t people want to see now...
