"Drawn Together" is NOTHING like Billy and Mandy, there not even remotely in the same category or general area. Drawn is probably the most offensive show I have ever seen in my life: racism, sexism, homophobia, stereotyping, swearing, sexual imagery, violence, drug references.

Billy and Mandy isn't even in the ballpark of how crude, disgusting and down right offensively hilarious Drawn Together is.

I know that. But sometimes I like to go into the really twisted. My sense of humor ranges from slapstick (silent movies), to the extreme (Drawn Together). I am an ecclectic person, so my humor can swing from clean to extreme!

Don't feel bad, I'm EXACTLY the same way.

My feelings for comedy can be as complicated as sophisticated humor like in "Boston Legal", crude swearing like in "Drawn" or even kid based humor like in "Foster's".

I'm a man of many tastes and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm the same way with music, one hand I listen to Rob Zombie and Soilwork, heavy metal music, then the next I listen to pop stuff like Westlife and Faith hill.

That's something a lot of us here have in common, I think, and yeah, it's definitely a good thing.

Yeah, it is a bit crude, but I do like the show to some degree. There are many characters I like in the show, and it does have its moments.

I only really watched the show to kill 30 minuits while waiting for another but it's really grown on me. Mandy is definetly my favorite character. She's cute in a way. I really liked the episode when she showed some of the human side and was asking Grim and Billy if she was pretty. And she's voiced by Grey Delisle so thats a win for me.
The show can be on the crude side, but I find its nostalgic in a way. It reminds me of Ren & Stimpy or Roccos Modern Life. But the show has plenty of whit and intellagance to it. But I do miss the adventures of Evil. Actually, I remember that I first seen the show as "Grim & Evil" not "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", so it's always fun to see Scarr show up.
I'm a big fan of intellagent humor like Frasier but I still like to enjoy the more senceless shows out there. Space Ghost Coast To Coast is one of my favorites.

Yeah that episode was awesome, especially the last act, which featured a reference to Frank Herbert's DUNE, Mandy's awesome rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and a perfect parody of The Power Puff Girls.

If you like Mandy's singing then you would love the episode "Billy and Mandy Save Christmas". Mandy sings at such a fast clip and so out of character that you cant help but laugh! And she actually acts cute too. And you havent lived untill you've heard Gilbert Gotfreid's Santa Clause!
