Drawn Together Forces Xandir Out of the Closet

For better or worse, Drawn Together represents a very real trend in mid-2000s humor. It specifically sought out to tell the most offensive jokes it could get on air, but that’s what makes it surprising that the episode where Xandir admits he’s gay isn’t the parade of easy jokes you might expect. The B plot sucks rancid balls, to the point that we don’t even use clips from it in this discussion, but you might be surprised how this animated reality show makes its token gay a sympathetic guy.
Check out Bradley Smith’s YouTube interview with series creators Dave Jesser and Matt Silverstein, from which we grabbed a few anecdotes about the development of Drawn Together.

NECA is releasing a San Diego Comicon exclusive Flash Gordon figure this summer and it comes with the wood beast. I'll be buying one for my gay action figure shelf! https://sdccblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/447740133_437117482287501_4289006479630661462_n.jpg

This is the only place I could find Drawn Together on the site with a search, but a lot of the site is pdfs or jpgs of newspaper articles so isn't searchable. https://www.ratingsryan.com/2021/03/broadcast-cable-nielsens-20041031.html
