Two (ok, three) words: LIVE-ACTION COW! The episode wasn’t great overall, but the very concept of Live-Action Cow made this episode a classic. The Live-Action Squirrel was semi-cool, too, but nothing can compare to a Live-Action Cow.

I have absolutely nothing of substance to offer you good people this evening, so how about some light-hearted quickies?

“I’ve missed you like a retard misses the point!” - Unusually Flexible Girl to Captain Hero on “Drawn Together”

The CowCat enjoys eating ham. Of the thinly-sliced deli variety. Is that normal for a cat?

“These are the voyages…of Marshall Oak, Starfleet Captain…” (via MeFi)

You’ve all met the Fluffy Pigeon, but what do you know about the Common Grackle? For instance, did you know that the Common Grackle sports “… entirely black plumage (and a) pale eye?” (inspired by Chaz)

My favoritest “new” show lately is “Drawn Together” on Comedy Central. If you’ve seen it, you understand. If you haven’t seen it, well…brace yourself. It makes “South Park” look like an episode of Barney & Friends. The premise, such as it is: several stereotypical cartoon/comic characters are locked together in a large house, a la “Big Brother.” The situations are absurd, the “plot” exists only in theory, as the characters rarely get involved in reality-TV challenges, and there are no sacred cows: everything gets skewered. The characters represent different types of cartoons and styles, but each one has a repressed and/or bizarre trait that runs counter to their “real-life” inspiration: Captain Hero is modeled after Superman, Captain Marvel, and such; Xandir is loosely based on epic tales of quest and the standard rescuing-the-princess video games; Princess Clara is, well, a Princess; Wooldoor Sockbat is some sort of goofy Spongebob-like creature; Toots Braunstein is a way-past-her-prime incarnation of Betty Boop; Spanky Ham is based on an obnoxious internet video character; Foxxy Love is a take-off on Josie & The Pussycats mixed with some Scooby-Doo elements; and Ling-Ling is an homage to Pikachu and Japanime. I won’t go into detail yet about some of the surprises and jaw-dropping scenes, but I will tell you that episodes of “Drawn Together” can now be purchased on ITunes for $1.99 each (with volume discounts available!).
