Summary

"Gay Bash" (November 10, 2004)

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 Silvertsein, from which we grabbed a few anecdotes about the development of Drawn Together.

Hello and welcome to Gayest Episode Ever, the podcast where we discuss the LGBT

episodes of classic sitcoms, but also apparently drawn together.

I'm Drew Mackie.

And yes, you heard right.

This week we are discussing queer representation on drawn together when a much more long-lived

and culturally significant

0:38.8

comedy central animated series is just sitting there unanalyzed by us.

0:43.6

Why?

0:44.1

Because we said so.

0:45.3

Someone said so.

0:46.1

Did someone put a gun to our heads?

0:48.2

Well, last week when we were talking to Bob, I mentioned that someone, a listener,

1:12.2

when I said, like, oh, yeah, Bob, I'm talking to this is going to be guests, he's like, oh, you should talk about drawn together. I was like, I don't think of what I don't do that. But after I thought about it a little bit, I was like, actually, there might be some interesting observations to be made here. You tell us viewers, if maybe, maybe they're just going to stop listening right now.

1:24.0

And when I do another animated show that has an entirely different audience base and an entirely different sense of humor. And less to say. And less to say possibly. I'm actually going to... It's a great time cap. So I'll just get it right here. Like, I think if you want to know where the culture is at at this point in time, tune into this. Yeah. Or listen to us talk about it so you don't have to

rewatch it yourself if you don't want to. This is going to be an episode that features more
