Talk:Toot Braunstein

message: Since she did the Mourner's Kaddish in A Very Special Drawn Together Afterschool Special couldn't she be assumed as Jewish? Jaedza 06:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's possible. Since she was role-playing as Xandir's father, though, it's not definite. The fact that she knew the Mourner's Kaddish might be a sign she is; she also has a Jewish last name. I don't think there's enough evidence to say for sure, though. When Toot was playing Xandir's mother earlier in the episode, she made an anti-Semitic remark. ("I don't want my son to go to hell- or wherever the gays and Jews end up!")Raymondluxuryacht 06:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Update: In "A Tale of Two Cows", Toot performs the Jewish blessing along with Captain Hero. This, coupled with the above, I think gives us a strong enough case to put her down as Jewish.Raymondluxuryacht 07:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

text: If we assume she's Jewish could we assume her anti-semitism comes from her being a "Self-hating Jew" or better put since Toot thinks lowly of herself perhaps she associates anything about her as bad to (i.e.: her religion)? Jaedza 09:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good possibility, and one which I didn't think of. But I don't know, though. While Toot is certainly prone to self-pity, and has a fatalistic attitude regarding herself, it isn't really in character for her to apply that fate to all others who share her faith; I think she feels God hates her specifically for herself, not because of her religion. Since she was playing Xandir's mom when she said it, it may have been her way of accusing Xandir's mother (or Xandir himself) of being anti-Semitic. It's quite also possible that the anti-Semitic crack was just a gag put in by the writers in a moment of intentional irony.Raymondluxuryacht 18:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I think it's safe to say that she is a Jew, but since she's also seen eating pork, she's likely to be a secular ethnic Jew (which still explains why she knows the Mourner's Kaddish and speaks a bit of Yiddish). It might be a good idea to change the 'Toot's Religion' section to a 'Toot's Ethnicity' section, since we ARE sure that she is Jewish by descent, but we can only speculate (until a reliable source can confirm it) about whether she's also Jewish by religion.

replies: text: Toot isn't particularly religious by any stretch of the imagination, but I get the impression she does follow SOME tenets of the faith. In addition to the Kaddish, she also accompanies Captain Hero in the Sabbath rituals. Now obviously, she does not follow kosher dietary laws, so it's doubtful she's an Orthodox Jew, but she could quite easily be a Reform Jew. Too bad Drawn Together has never done a holiday episode; we could see if she celebrates Hanukkah or Christmas.Raymondluxuryacht 00:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but a secular jew, especially one with religious parents, is likely to know the rites even if she doesn't actually know or puts faith in their meaning Robrecht 23:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Toot's Religion

message: Its funny to me that Toot thinks she is "sexy". Her body is a total mess and she cant see that. No wonder why men do not like her. She even thought Xander liked her.
: thats true, i also noticed that for a 1960 woman being 22 hasn't seem to be a factor in anything although ther was an episode about her age, 01:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Toot's looks 

message: Shouldn't it be mentioned that Toot displays an erection in "The Other Cousin", AND "N.R.Ay Ray"? DSMeatte 21:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That whole paragraph was kind of awkwardly worded, to be honest, so I rewrote it and included a mention of "N.R.A.y RAY".Raymondluxuryacht 21:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Because the whole intersexuality thing is just a gag. I'm pretty sure the person said that in the edit summary.Raymondluxuryacht 17:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Her being Jewish, a cannibal, and an alchoholic are all gags too, but that doesn't mean that we should remove the categories of fictional jews, fictional overeaters, and fictional alchoholics. Asarelah 03:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Toot being an alcholic is established canon. The joke of Toot having a penis, though, is JUST a joke and not real, even within the context of Drawn Together's fictional universe. Toot has also been shown twice with a donkey tail, but no one's claiming she's really a donkey.Raymondluxuryacht 03:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

text: We can't count the picture since it never actually appeared in the show; it was merely used in some promotional material.Raymondluxuryacht 22:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intersexuality 

message: I watchted the DVD and i noticed that, when Toot is speaking, you can her the noise of a phonograph. (makes sense because she's from the 20s) (I noticed it in Hot Tub, i will check if it is in later episodes too) TimSim 05:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Does it happen every time she speaks? I'll have to check for that.Raymondluxuryacht 05:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Checking it myself, I noticed it every time she speaks in Hot Tub, but it doesn't seem to appear again in Clara's Dirty Little Secret. I also checked Lost in Parking Space, Part I, and A Tale of Two Cows, and still no effect. I'm willing to bet they stopped since it was barely noticeable. DSMeatte 07:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Dt 211 joanrivers m4.jpg

message: This article needs cleaning up.
Toot saying "You felt almost as good inside me as i felt inside of you" was just a random gag most likely or some kind of twisted fat joke.
She has been shown naked before and has excessive pubic hair and in one fat gag had the lower half of a cow.I'd post pictures but i don't want to display things like thatYami (talk) 23:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
