Main characters[]
- Captain Leslie Hero (voiced by Jess Harnell): A sociopathic, chauvinistic, idiotic, perverted, anti-heroic, bisexual, necrophilic and lecherous parody of Superman and other superheroes, with a visual style taken from the cartoons of Bruce Timm and Max Fleischer. Being primarily macho, he is prone to occasional random fits of hysterics akin to posttraumatic stress disorder, playing on the "tragic origin" stories of many superheroes.
- Wooldoor Jebediah Sockbat (voiced by James Arnold Taylor): A hyperactive, idiotic, gullible bizarre children's show character in the mold of SpongeBob SquarePants or Stimpy who displays many of the typical reality-defying behaviors of Looney Tunes characters.
- Princess Clara (voiced by Tara Strong): A pampered, religious and bigoted princess who is a spoof of Disney princesses such as Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989) and Belle from Beauty and the Beast (1991). She is homophobic, passionate about singing, and usually wears a lavender dress and white pearl earrings.
- Foxxy Love (voiced by Cree Summer): A sharp-tongued ghetto-spoof of Valerie Brown from Hanna-Barbera's Josie and the Pussycats, she is a promiscuous mystery-solving musician.
- Toot Braunstein (voiced by Tara Strong): A fat, egotistical and alcoholic retro-style sex symbol who is a parody of Betty Boop. Toot demands to be the center of attention, cuts herself with razor blades, practices poor personal hygiene and eats excessively when depressed and often instigates conflict in the house.
- Xandir P. Wifflebottom (voiced by Jack Plotnick): A hypersensitive, homosexual and effeminate spoof of video game heroes like Link from The Legend of Zelda series and Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII.
- Spanky Ham (voiced by Adam Carolla): A sex-obsessed, toilet-humored, obnoxious anthropomorphic pig and a parody of various Internet Flash cartoon characters (specifically from Newgrounds) as well as The Real World: San Francisco cast member David "Puck" Rainey.
- Ling-Ling (voiced by Abbey McBride): A psychopathic, homicidal anime character who is heavily based on Pikachu from the Pokémon franchise. He battles using various supernatural powers/abilities (represented in anime-like style) and speaks in pseudo-Japanese gibberish (or "Japorean", a portmanteau of "Japanese" and "Korean," as Ling-Ling's voice Abbey McBride calls it) with English subtitles.

Television media[]
Television pilot (Unaired)[]
- Main article: Drawn Together (pilot episode)
In order to pitch the show to Comedy Central, Jeser, Silverstein, and Jordan Young (a former character layout artist on The Simpsons) put together a brief pitch pilot at some point in or prior to 2003 in order to properly bring the idea of the series across. Very little is currently known about this pilot, with the only known production details for it coming from a 2003 Variety article, in which it was stated that the pilot was four minutes long and was screened at some point prior to October 2003 for former Comedy Central programming executive Lauren Corrao, who immediately allowed the project to go forward. The differences from the actual series is from the available footage, the pilot (at least in terms of aesthetics) appears to be vastly different from the final series, with significantly choppier, cruder animation, and numerous characters having designs that wildly differ from those seen in the actual show, with Ling-Ling being green instead of orange, Captain Hero having a different hairstyle and a differently designed, darker suit with a different emblem and no cape, Xandir having a different hairstyle and slightly different outfit, and Princess Clara having a completely different design that closely resembles Disney's portrayal of Alice as opposed to the generic Disney princess design she has in the final series. The pilot has remained largely unreleased in the years since its creation, with none of Drawn Together's home media releases having it as a bonus feature. The only piece of footage to have surfaced from the pilot is a brief, audioless clip included in a behind-the-scenes documentary on the The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! DVD. Given the apparent distaste for the pilot from those who worked on it, it is unlikely that any more will surface.
Television series[]
- Main article: Drawn Together (television series)
The tv show itself was released a year later after finishing it's unaired pilot episode. The show's visual style is that of digital ink-and-paint but with retro-styled vision. The Content of the tv show's plots and humor are adult-oriented and laden with shock comedy.
Television special[]
:Main article: Drawn Together: The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist and Drawn Together: Lost in Parking Space
There are two 46-minute specials during the series' run since the ending of Season 1 and the start of season 2.
Television film[]
- Main article: The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!
After all of the show's three seasons, the tv show itself was cancelled. Subsequently, a direct-to-video film and series finale, The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! was released on April 16 on TV and DVD version on April 20, 2010.[2]. It is the only film in the franchise, but it's also the series finale of the TV series.
