'Drawn Together - Season 2'
(2-Disc DVD / NR / (2004) 2007 / Paramount)
Overview: 'Drawn Together' is back for an outrageous second season. This time around we answer almost all of the unanswered questions left by season one; like what happens when an Asian battle monster tries to drive a car, can animation and live action co-exist peacefully and what’s that smell in Captain Hero’s closet?!
DVD Verdict: The second season of Comedy Central's animated, reality TV spoofing 'Drawn Together' gets off to a great start, but sadly, it wears thin the further it goes on. The season begins where the first one left off, with the house mates crash landing and eventually getting back to the house for plenty of animated insanity. The visual gags are still quite funny, but the show's constant bombardment of homophobic jokes (especially with Captain Hero, which gets real boring and tired) and toilet humor without any kind of substance goes from hysterical to boring and contrived.
Granted we see the same kind of treatment on South Park, but with that show there's always an underlining hint of social commentary at the very least. You won't find much of that here with Drawn Together, but then again, the show never really attempts to do such a thing either. All that being said, there's still plenty to admire with the second season of Drawn Together, but it's nowhere near as funny as the first season was either. All in all though, if you enjoy the show for what it's worth despite it's flaws, this DVD set is definitely worth picking up regardless.
