Talk:A Very Special Drawn Together Afterschool Special

message: Does anyone know the name of the music that plays at the end episode (the instrumental, not the song), ie, when Foxxy is being wheeled out of the house?
:I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm pretty sure it's a reference to some movie, but I can't quite put my finger on what.Raymondluxuryacht 23:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the shark in the Barroom Brawl really be related to "jumping the shark"? I thought it was a referance to Toot's fatness, or something. Jumping the Shark seems a little mean to me... 65.96.98.74 05:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a common perception that shows which do "very special episodes" jump the shark (the Wikipedia page on jumping the shark has a lot of info on that), and Drawn Together is just making a joke to that effect. I was the one who added the note about jumping the shark, and I was just pointing out the joke, not accusing the show itself of jumping the shark. If it's misleadingly worded, I'll go back and rewrite it.Raymondluxuryacht 05:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

text: It's not impossible, but I didn't see anything connecting the scene with the Landshark other than the fact it was a shark. The shark here was obviously swimming; I presume if it was a reference to the Landshark, it would have been walking or standing upright.Raymondluxuryacht 09:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is purely speculation that the shark is a reference to 'jumping the shark', and may not have been intended at all by the creators.--Jeffro77 06:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: it looks to be a reference to Very Bad Things with a few twists. instead of being impaled on a hook, ling-ling falls through a table like leeland orser does on his drug-induced high. any concurs?

replies: text: The only problem with that is that Ling-Ling didn't fall through the table. He was already underneath the table; Xandir broke the table when he sat on it, and Ling-Ling was stabbed by a shard of the broken glass. I'll admit, I actually thought of Very Bad Things when I watched it, but it's probably just coincidence. The connections are too hazy to really make it a reference.Raymondluxuryacht 09:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: after clara sucks on toots thumb, toot says she has something 'almost as big'. as the truck is driving off, it looks like clara is about to perform oral sex on toot. could be a stretch, but it sounds like another reference to toots implied hermaphrodism.
an even more probable stretch is the reference to timmys location. im reminded of sean connerys last words to nicholas cage in 'the rock' about the location of some microfilm. any concurs on either of these?

replies: text: She very well could have been. My interpretation of the scene is that she was role-playing as a man, and in that character was just making a generic penis-related innuendo, like sleazy guys in movies tend to do.Raymondluxuryacht 05:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It could also be a running gag from The Other Cousin, where Toot is shown to have a penis. It is very possible that she is a true hermaphrodite in the show, see Toot Braunstein.Darth static 09:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: The entire story seems to be based on something; not sure if it's based entirely on 'running away' clichés or a specific source. The Black Books episode "He's Leaving Home" appears to draw on the same basic storyline.--Jeffro77 06:23, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was partially based on a 70's TV movie called "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway", but with lots of other elements as well. Here is a posting from producer Bill Freiberger in the Toon Zone Forum explaining the basis of this episode in more detail.Raymondluxuryacht 06:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In the cultural references section, the point about the shitting table is also a reference to the German fetish stereotype of Coprophilia. Nicko2k 02:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: They're soundalikes. Play them back to back with the original recordings and you can tell that while very similar, they don't sound exactly the same.Raymondluxuryacht (talk) 07:31, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
