Drawn Together/Characters

The dramatis personae for the animated series Drawn Together.

Captain Hero
A super-powered, sex-obsessed lothario whose machismo hides a fragile ego. Initially a minor character, but eventually came to dominate the show. Parodies Superman as well as the macho jock stereotype.


 * Adult Child: One of the older housemates, and probably the least mature.
 * Ambiguously Jewish
 * Anything That Moves: And anything that doesn't.
 * Clark Kenting: With Tim Tommerson, who he claims is a separate person, though Xandir sees through this immediately. Then quickly contradicted in the second season finale, where Tim Tommerson really was a different person.
 * A Date with Rosie Palms: There are plenty of jokes involving him masturbating.
 * The Ditz
 * Embarrassing First Name: Leslie.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Xandir, Wooldoor, and even Spanky have been suggested to be into him.
 * Handsome Lech
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath
 * I Love the Dead: Oh... dear... God.
 * Karma Houdini: He's destroyed an entire planet, caused the deaths of thousands on innocent people on Earth, and has also raped a few people. The only time he ever gets punished is when he gets caught with a photo of his naked teenaged self.
 * Made of Iron: Which makes him Too Kinky to Torture.
 * Miles Gloriosus: His Catch Phrase is "Save yourselves!" (though in the DVD documentary on how Drawn Together was created, Jess Harnell had no idea people would associate that line to Captain Hero).
 * Ping-Pong Naivete
 * Plot Induced Stupidity: Lampshaded when he states that because he smokes marijuana, he didn't think to use his powers to save the cast from the crashing helicopter.
 * Power Perversion Potential: The only times that Hero uses his powers with consistent skillfulness.
 * Psychopathic Manchild
 * Remembered I Could Fly: Even when he does remember that he has super powers which could easily solve the problem at hand, he's still at a complete loss how to apply them properly.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Often misuses or forgets to use his powers at crucial moments.
 * Too Kinky to Torture
 * What the Hell, Captain Hero: Constantly called out on his atrocities by the other characters.
 * Your Makeup Is Running: Whenever he cries, his mascara runs.

Foxxy Love
A 1970s-style mystery-solving musician who parodies Josie and the Pussy Cats and Scooby Doo. She plays the token Sassy Black Woman/put-upon minority (also the Village Bicycle, though most of the cast competes for that title). Foxxy was the show's most heavily featured character until Captain Hero took over midway through Season Two.


 * Good Bad Girl
 * Little Bit Beastly: The show is inconsistent regarding the issue of whether her fox tail is real or not. She's seen without it on a few occasions, but a later episode suggests her mother is an actual fox.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: She once made a comment about the Kyoto Protocol, followed by everyone in the room looking at her in shock. Foxxy then mumbles "blackity black black, stereotype, black" rather indignantly before turning to the viewer and asking "Ya happy?"
 * Only Sane Man: Wooldoor has lampshaded this by telling her she's the only one that's not "completely retarded".
 * Positive Discrimination
 * Really Gets Around
 * Sassy Black Woman
 * Stripperiffic
 * Third Person Person
 * Twofer Token Minority

Ling-Ling
An ill-tempered Pikachu knock-off. He speaks in faux-Japanese babble (his voice actress calls it "Japorean"...) and seldom interacts much with the other characters (who usually don't understand a word he says). He plays the fish-out-of-water foreigner/TeamPet. He is also incredibly violent (expect bucketloads of blood in any of his scenes) and parodies the tendency of Japanese animation to be far more mature than its Western counterparts despite both being aimed at a younger audience.


 * As Long as It Sounds Foreign
 * Badass Adorable
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: Ling-Ling is male; his voice actor, Abbey DiGregorio, is female.
 * Fun with Subtitles
 * Grotesque Cute
 * Japanese Honorifics: On occasion ("You mean Toot-san?")
 * Japanese Ranguage
 * Killer Rabbit
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse
 * Shock and Awe: His powers seem to be lightning-based.
 * Theme Song: Ling-Ling into battle go ...
 * Third Person Person
 * The Unintelligible
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Tries to get his father to notice him.

Princess Clara
A parody of both the generic Disney Princess (to the point of her design being very close to Ariel's) and the naive airhead, complete with the ability to spontaneously generate fuzzy woodland creatures when she sings. An obsessive religious fanatic, she also parodies the "upper class WASP" stereotype by being condescendingly biased against all ethnic and religious minorities.


 * Badass Princess: At times. Multiple episodes demonstrate her as being adept at handling firearms, and in one episode, she hacks the proprietor of a torture enterprise to death with a sword.
 * Blue Eyes
 * The Chew Toy: Gets beat up on a regular basis, has had her scalp ripped off her head twice, and was savaged by possessed trees.
 * Disney Creatures of the Farce
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * Friend to All Living Things: Exploited by Spanky as a source of food.
 * The Fundamentalist
 * Graceful Ladies Like Purple
 * It's All About Me: Falls into this at times, due to Word of God stating that she is fundamentally a fairly spoiled princess.
 * Knight Templar
 * Miss Conception: In the second episode, she thinks that being kissed (by another woman, no less) has made her pregnant.
 * Never Bareheaded: The only time in the entire series she is seen without her tiara is when Captain Hero punches her and it falls off.
 * Noble Bigot: Once. She suggested to Xandir that if being gay was so horrible, maybe he should try not being gay. And then suggested they "wish the gay away" when Foxxy points out homosexuality is something you're born with. Most of the time Clara acts like this, or seems to think she's this, before switching to a generally open and ignorant attitude.
 * Ping-Pong Naivete
 * Precision F-Strike: Curses far less than the other characters, making it much more noticeable when she does so.
 * Slapstick Knows No Gender: Tends to be the most physically abused of the characters.
 * Technical Virgin: Never has straight-up coitus over the course of the series, but she gets off to watching car crashes in one episode, and is seen with a masturbatory aid in another.
 * Token Wholesome: She is the only character on the show who seems to possess a sense of modesty.
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: As Toot gradually became more sympathetic, Clara soaked up the excess bitchiness.
 * Virginity Makes You Stupid

Spanky Ham
An Internet-derived character who enjoys exercising his warped, disgusting sense of humor. Parodies both internet Flash animations and the "party animal" stereotype.


 * Ambiguously Jewish (He's also been Muslim and Scientologist).
 * Big Ol' Unibrow: Spanky's voice actor Adam Carolla thinks it's a reference to his own.
 * Catch Phrase: "Nothing can possibly go wrong."
 * Gasshole: One episode has as a major plot point the issue of whether his farts are funny or not.
 * Greed: His primary vice.
 * Only Sane Man: Often is the one to give a speech with the reasonable solution to an issue, like saying that cartoons may be offensive, but denying them as part of our culture is dangerous.
 * Tempting Fate: His catchphrase, uttered immediately before something goes wrong.

Toot Braunstein
A black-and-white cartoon gal from the 1920s who's an overweight, bitter, washed-up, borderline-psychotic, alcoholic parody of Betty Boop. She fills the role of the "bitch" character.


 * Abusive Parents: Neglect toward her Nicaraguan baby, resulting in it running way and getting pregnant itself.
 * The Alcoholic: One of the heaviest drinkers in the cast.
 * Ambiguously Jewish
 * Attention Whore
 * Big Beautiful Woman: Toot thinks she's this. She comes from a time when women having curvy bodies and generally weighing a bit more was considered aesthetically pleasing. Of course, her weight varies depending on Rule of Funny and multiple close-ups of her are quite unsettling.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Character Development: Becomes less spiteful and more proactive over time, possibly as a result of Xandir acknowledging her as a friend, if not a lover.
 * Extreme Omnivore: She's eaten a television and a cell phone, among many other things.
 * Gold Digger: Her reason for marrying Ling-Ling's father, despite initially being repulsed by his advances.
 * Hollywood Pudgy
 * One-Winged Angel: When she swallows a whole lot of jello and grows massive during her fight with Foxxy in the season 1 finale. She soon falls down and loses the fight, though.
 * Pie-Eyed: She's drawn this way to reflect her origins.
 * Plucky Girl: Became one by the end of the series.
 * Transsexual: Or possibly Hermaphrodite, she's had a fair share of boners poking through her skirt throughout the series.
 * White Dwarf Starlet
 * Yandere: Toward Xandir through the first season and a half.
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Wooldoor Sockbat
A goofy yellow whatsit who parodies the "WTF" cartoon character stereotype, especially SpongeBob SquarePants, but also including Stimpy from Ren and Stimpy, any of the Warners from Animaniacs, any of Tex Avery's wacky characters when Avery worked for MGM, and basically whatever the plot demands. He plays the attention-seeking Team Pet.


 * Ambiguously Jewish
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny
 * Captain Ersatz: Even more so than the other characters. Notably, the other housemates are parodies of their respective characters, but Wooldoor basically is Spongebob Squarepants in all but name, and acts exactly like he would if Spongebob became a more adult-oriented cartoon.
 * A newspaper in one episode even refers to him as a "poorly-conceived Spongebob parody".
 * Catch Phrase: Wooldoor likes to say "WEEEEEE!" a lot, so much so that he has it on his headstone. In "Drawn Together Babies", he claims that due to an injury he sustained, he has to say it very often or he'll drown in his own bile.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Does Not Like Shoes
 * A God Am I: "You ask me if I have a god complex? I AM GOD."
 * Keet

Xandir P. Wifflebottom
An effeminate (later openly gay) elf swordsman and video game character who parodies Link from the The Legend of Zelda games (and Video Games in general). His role on the show is that of the Camp Gay.


 * All Gays Are Promiscuous: He comes out of the closet in episode 3. By the very next episode, he has already lost his gag reflex.
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Bishonen
 * Camp Gay
 * Dark-Skinned Blond
 * Driven to Suicide: Repeatedly, after his girlfriend leaves him.
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait
 * Exposed to the Elements
 * Only Sane Man: He tends to play this role in stories where he gets paired with Captain Hero.
 * Pinball Protagonist
 * Stripperiffic
 * Surrounded by Idiots: Captain Hero is enough to be considered "idiots" given his massive stupidity.
 * Transparent Closet: His main gag for the first two episodes, before coming out in episode three.
 * Uke: Subverted, when he has sex with "Tim" he is on top.
 * Underwear of Power
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Zettai Ryouiki

The Jew Producer
The only non-housemate to have any sort of recurring importance to the show. Originally, "Jew Producer" was just his nickname amongst the cast until he established that "The Jew Producer" was, in fact, his name.


 * Author Avatar: He is the in-show representation of the show's creators, a rare villainous example of the trope.
 * Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other: The movie shows that deep down, he truly does care about the housemates.
 * Bad Boss: Never misses an opportunity to abuse his power.
 * Characterization Marches On: In his first non-intercom appearance, he is a heartless creep who is perfectly willing to kill the cast if they disobey him. In the movie, he's kept the housemates supported for his own amusement long after the show has been canceled only to eventually save them from being erased.
 * Driven to Suicide: In the second season clip show he becomes upset after Xandir denies sleeping with him. He kills two staffers and then himself soon after. He got better though.
 * Heroic Sacrifice: He's Killed Off for Real in the movie saving the cast.
 * Jerkass: For many many reasons, though forcing the cast to spend three hours praising his genitals is probably the best example.
