“Drawn Together” made me cry
Last night, I saw the best thing since South Park: Drawn Together.
A cast of mismatched cartoon and video game characters, each a fantastic parody in its own right, find themselves doing the real-world thing with hysterical results.
In episode one, the chubby 20’s sex symbol cartoon (ala Betty Boop) made a move on the ultra-gay video adventurer always on a quest to save his ‘girlfriend’ (ala Link from The Legend of Zelda), got rejected (of course), and degenerated into the evil sociopathic member of the household; the never-met-a-black-person-who-wasn’t-a-servant Princess (ala Diskey) has already made out with the never-met-a-racist-hotter-than-life black girl (while they sing a Disney-esque musical number about tongues); and the tiny yellow japanime half-rabbit half-whatever battle monster has already challenged the chubby 20’s sex symbol to an ultra-flashy seizure-inducing sub-titled fight to the death.
Who knows how long they’ll be able to keep this going, but it’s off to a roaring start: Preview/summary
