The Latin American dub has a huge reputation because they always translated the jokes very well, many of the editors were elderly and made everything very funny because they said some messed up stuff

my favorite plotline in this show was when Captain Hero found a way to communicate with his past self, but instead of understanding that's what he was doing, he kept pranking his younger self and ruining his own future as a result. it's just such a thing his stupid character would do and I've never seen it done elsewhere

My favorite joke from Drawn Together was the episode where some of the character hit a bum while drunk and take him home to treat him, only for Captain Hero to realize the bum is in fact one of his super villains. Torn between finishing off a villain and treating a helpless person, he calls out "Lord, give me a sign!" And at the moment, a flaming goat smashes through a window, wrecks the room and runs out. After a moment Captain Hero simply says, "Well what the ☆●@! did that mean?"

I ALWAYS quote Foxy “not for real-real, juss for play-play” lmaooo

Fun fact: Some of the voice actors in the Latin American dub did express how uncomfortable they were with the things they had to say. The woman who voiced Toot was an old lady who reportedly prayed anxiously after recording each episode asking God to forgive her for saying such dirty jokes, lol. She did a great job though.

The longer the show ran, and especially with the movie, the more clear it became that they were never “breaking down barriers”, they were just shitting on walls.

In retrospect, it's amazing how well they deconstructed Superman before it was trendy.

in mexico we still worship to this day "malcolm in the middle" and "drawn together" for their wonderful dubs, and pure gold comedy

I always assumed the shoehorned moral messages were the joke, not a misguided way to balance out the crude🤷‍♂️

“How did such a successful show get cancelled?” Saber. Drawn Together is the definition of “how DIDN’T it get cancelled?” 😂

I remember watching this show in high school I loved it but remember being uncomfortable at times. It was definitely a show I had to keep my finger hovering over the change button over incase my parents walked in.

Just here to tell you I appreciated the 3-second joke of telling the audience to read a book while showing "My Immortal." Sublime!

It surprises me that you didn't bring up "Xandir figures out he's gay" episode from the first season, because that was unexpectedly nuanced and even was nominated for a GLAAD award, if I remember correctly. Nevertheless, the show did lose me back then over the course of the second season, because, as you say, it just got too mean-spirited and all over the place in its execution.

You know a show is controversial when it takes more effort to get a video on the show approved than it does to make the video

Aparrently Matt and Dave got bullied by the studio into making the full length movie, which they didn't want tk dk in the first place. So they deliverately went out of their way to make it as bad and un-funny as possible.

"People are too sensitive these days" is a strange argument to me, because it seems like people were just as if not more sensitive in the past about controlling the portrayal of social norms and minorities. The fact that Star Trek was so controversial over a biracial kissing scene, that queer characters were censored out or relegated to negative roles in films, that the Hays Code was even a thing. These days, that history of bigotry is commonly condemned (and still being dealt with, especially with regard to gender norms). It is possible to go overboard and censor in the opposite extreme, with mere mention of the topic being too offensive for some, and it's also possible to lean into stereotypes and controversial opinions for contrarian's sake and, well, become a proponent of bigotry yourself. You're allowed to find whatever you like to be funny, but these days you can't expect most people to agree that it's funny and laugh with you because public opinion is becoming more varied over time. All that said, I would like these kinds of shows to continue existing for the audiences that enjoy them.

Say what you will about this show, but the episode where the gang helps Xandir practice coming out to his parents was a masterpiece.

If I had a nickel for every time a duo named Matt and Dave created an adult animated series, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

This show had so much potential to succeed. I loved the hell out of it when it first came out, and when I heard it was being canceled, I did get upset a little bit. I still occasionally watch clips and episodes time to time.
