A couple months ago, Comedy Central started to advertise a new cartoon called Drawn Together that they referred to as "TV First Animated Reality Show". They played the ads over and over and over. It looked like crap. I didn't think anything of it.

Prior to the debut show, the reviews came out, and they were bad. Really bad. Basically the reviews said the show was juvenile, idiotic, in bad taste, crude, and not funny. So my initial thoughts were simply validated.

Yet, I was intrigued. I don't know why, but I was.

I watched the first episode and I was hooked. The premise is that the show is like MTV's The Real World, except with cartoon characters. Each character is a parody of a real character. "Toot" = Betty Boop, "Ling Ling" = Pokemon, "Wooldorf Sockbat" = Spongebob Squarepants, and so on.

I can't write a review to save my life, so I'll skip that and simply mention the hilarious highlights.

Toot cuts herself with a razor blade to deal with pain

Spanky Ham pisses on the couch

Toot tries to seduce Xandir by showing her boobs, then she cuts her head off, it rolls away, and Spanky Ham takes a shit down Toot's head. Yes, this was actually on TV.

Spanky Ham kills Princess Clara's wilderness friends and eats them.

God is in a confessional booth that also serves as the other side of a glory hole, and a little fellow pokes through the hole.

A chipmunk jumps out of Xandir's ass.

Ling Ling implores Clara to say his name three times so he can kill her and have sex with her skull.

Maybe its just my sense of humor, but that kind of crazy-ass sick shit cracks me up. So I have to recommend that everyone check this show out. Its on Comedy Central, Wednesdays at 10:30PM, and also repeated. Holy shit, that show is freakin' hilarious.
