Fans of Drawn Together?

[RayB]

Anyone?
It was a little hard to get into at first, but DAAAMMNNN it's gotten funny! Plenty of video game references too. I think last week was the season premiere.

Disgusting. The sooner it gets cancelled, the better.

I'm with RayB, I found it boring at first, but then it got pretty funny.  They pretty much go after every taboo.

[Ed_McCarron]

Love it.

Sometimes I feel that way.  I like the show and watch it often...but I feel like....I dunno.

I don't like it when people say South Park is just toilet humor and they just try to be in your face and offensive.  I don't think SP is like that at all.  It may make fun of your beliefs and be "offensive" to you, but I honestly think there's a good message in almost every episode of the show.  it makes me think about something.  Important or not.

Drawn Together on the other hand..I feel does just try to be in your face and offensive.  I still laugh at it..but sometimes it's like an..."oooohhhhhhhhh-heh"

Makes me wonder if I'm just getting old.

for some reason i think ATHF is pretty funny.  maybe I just like cartoons.  I can't get anyone else to watch ATHF.  of course...I dont do drugs...nor do any of my friends.

I think part of the misunderstanding of SouthPark is that fans just seem(ed) to repeat the same dumb-ass quotes all the time in the same dumb-ass voices giving non-viewers (myself included) the impression that the show was really really stupid and/or just toilet humor.

That's because ATHF IS pretty funny!    Or, at least, it used to be.  The newest episodes haven't done much for me.

I love it when people don't watch something and then tell people how bad it is. 

of course...everytime someone asks me if I liked the LOTR movies...I reply with...."dude...I haven't seen them....I'm straight"  sometimes I point to my wedding ring for added effect.  and harry potter was obviously gay as hell.....until I started reading it.  I guess we all do it, but it sucks when someone does it to SP.

For me personally it didn't have anything to do with "telling people how bad it is".  Everything I heard about the show from fans of the show indicated to me that it was a stinking pile of idiocy. 

I had no desire to watch South Park at all because I was never given any indication that it was more than talking pieces of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and annoying high voices saying "You killed Kenny".  And the fact that fans of the show seemed to think that particular line was the absolutely funniest thing they'd ever heard didn't make me any more interested at all.  It's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I'm sure there are people who have no interest in watching As The World Turns, American Idol, Fear Factor or Pat Robertson on CBN.  You don't have to first watch those things to decide that you don't want to watch them.  You're informed about their content by their advertising, articles, word of mouth or whatever and if it's not of interest to you, you don't watch it.   There's no obligation to watch any of those shows.   

The issue with South Park is that their ads and their fans don't do the show justice.  They give no indication that there's anything smart or clever about the show at all.   When a friend forced me to watch the SP feature film, I was amazed that it wasn't nearly as stupid as all the South Park fans make it sound.  It was really funny.

I like both. I thing Drawn Together tries to hard to offend people, but is still pretty good. South Park was better in the earlier seasons.

[cdbrown]

Have recently been watching the season 2 episodes and enjoying every one of them.

[danny_galaga]

weird, but funny. i love the blatant plagiarism of well known characters (whats that called? familiar-but-legally-distinct?). the betty-boo type, the pokemon type, the generic superman type and androgenous elven type (",) . i still shudder when i think of the episode where octopus legs were coming out from... well, i cant say here.

An age-old problem. Judging a book by its cover. The video game industry faces exactly this, with people only judging the hobby by a few things they see. (Blood?! Violence?! OMG it must be horrible! Save the children!!)

I prejudged Beavis n Butthead when that first came out. "All it is is two idiots chuckling all the time". That's what it looked like anyways. But I got into a few episodes and it had some damn funny moments.

Then watch the show. It's just as brilliant (more so actually) as the movie. If you can get past the "shock" moments, there's always some underlying "truth" being told, or celebrities getting their just desserts. (It swings fairly left wing, so obviously churchy right-wing Bushies STILL wouldn't like many episodes).

Actually thats not always true, they seem to have two type of episodes.  One type is very smart and clever, giving their view of a religion or something going on in the news.  The other type is to try and disgust the viewer and have no agenda other then to be gross and funny.  One example coming to mind is the episode where Cartman made the guy eat his parents, the only lesson there was don't F with cartman.

As for drawn together, I've seen a few episodes and it seems to be pretty funny, but not funny enough for me to set my tivo to record it.

An age-old problem. Judging a book by its cover.

Again, I was judging it by information given to me by fans of the show.  If the people who love the show and watch it religiously tell me that it's all about talking logs of crap and Killing Kenny, I think it's logical to presume that that's exactly what the show is about.

Do you watch every reality show?  Do you watch every talk show?  Do you watch every religious show?  Do you watch every soap opera?  Do you watch every show on Lifetime?   Of course not.  Do you have some opinion or impression of what those shows are about?  Of course you do.   Do you use that information to decide whether or not you're going to watch that show or not?  Of course you do.   

This isn't the "age old problem" of "judging a book by its cover".  This is the age-old technique of taking available information and making decisions based on that information.

If you were given 100s of descriptions of a show by avid fans of the show and every one of those descriptions sounded like something that you'd hate, why on earth would you waste your time watching?

I know what you mean... I know what you mean...
I never watched Seinfeld until it was in reruns.

Drawn Together is nothing.  Has anyone here seen 12 Oz. Mouse?  Holy mother of god it's funny.  I stumbled across it while visiting my brother recently.  It only comes on Monday mornings at 1:45 a.m. on Adult Swim.  Seriously....set your TIVOs.  It's unbelievably good.

[SOAPboy]

I record it on the DVR everytime its on..

[shmokes]

I've only seen one episode.  I'm hoping they get released on DVD soon.
