List of housemate deaths on Drawn Together

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of housemate deaths on Drawn Together

---

One of the distinguishing features of Comedy Central's animated comedy Drawn Together is the way the show kills off its own characters with great frequency. In addition to numerous guest characters getting killed, the show even has its main cast die quite often. However, in the case of the main cast, the deaths are never permanent. This is a parody of an animation cliché in which countless cartoon characters either are killed and later seen living again, or survive situations that would realistically certainly result in death. South Park mocks this formula extensively with the way they continually kill off the character of Kenny McCormick.

Drawn Together is notable for taking the idea of discontinuity even further than most other cartoons (which typically have very loose continuity as it is). On South Park, though Kenny came back to life in the next episode as if nothing had happened, he at least remained dead for the rest of the episode in which he died. The Drawn Together housemates are usually brought back alive and well in the very same episode. Some episodes even feature the same character dying multiple times. Here is a list of the episodes featuring the temporary demise of one or more of the eight housemates. Bold type indicates housemates who perish in an episode.

Not included in this list are instances where a character appears to die, but is later shown to have survived the ordeal, such as Wooldoor's apparent death in The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist, Part II.

Season One

• Hot Tub
• *Toot dies four times in this episode. First, she hits her head on the coffee table, splitting her skull open and breaking her neck. She dies again in a flashback sequence when she cuts her own head off after failing to get Xandir to notice her. She dies a third time during the tequila brunch when she hits her head again, duplicating her first death. Finally, she is eaten by Ling-Ling after accidentally accepting combat with him. Although she does not reappear in the episode after this, she is heard squeaking from Ling-Ling's mouth when he smiles.
• *Although none of the deaths are seen, Xandir refers to the millions of lives (not counting quad-forces or power-ups) he has used on his neverending quest to save his girlfriend. A DVD outtake shows him sinking into lava several times while on his quest, but this did not appear in the episode itself.
• *The extended DVD version of this episode contains a sequence where Wooldoor escapes from the bubble he became encased in when Spanky farted in the hot tub while he was underwater, but discovers he cannot live outside the bubble, dries up and dies instantly (a reference to boy in the bubble syndrome).

• Gay Bash
• *Xandir, trying to commit suicide, stabs himself to death numerous times. However, as a video game character, he has many lives in reserve, and eventually gives up before exhausting all of them.

• Requiem for a Reality Show
• *Toot, Clara, Xandir, and Ling-Ling suffocate after losing an oxygen competition. This event is described by Toot in a flashback; the housemates are all alive in the main part of the episode.

• The Other Cousin
• *Wooldoor shows Xandir and Toot a filmstrip about the hallucinogenic secretions of the psychoactive toad and Ling-Ling, using his eyes as the projector. At one point, the film melts, and Wooldoor's eyes burst into flames; the filmstrip continues, however, and proceeds to show Wooldoor dying, being buried, and ascending to heaven.

Ling-Ling's first death.

• Dirty Pranking No. 2
• *Ling-Ling suffocates when Xandir and Captain Hero leave him in an unventilated car on a hot day. He is seen half-decayed and crawling with maggots.
• *Ling-Ling dies again, along with Clara, Spanky, Foxxy, Captain Hero, Xandir, and Wooldoor, when alien robots vaporize the entire cast. Toot is not shown dying in the episode, as she is not in the house when this occurs, but as the episode suggests that the aliens destroyed all humanity, she must be considered to have died as well.

• The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist
• *During their challenge in the Apprentice parody, the guys accidentally crash the plane they are trying to land on top of Ling-Ling. Ling-Ling is alive again by the time of the Jell-O fight, and even serves as Toot's second during the match.

Season Two

• The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist, Part II
• *The housemates play Russian roulette, and Ling-Ling is the loser, but only because of recoil.
• *During a demonstration, Xandir has his head pulled off by Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Since he is a videogame character, however, he returns immediately.
• *Spanky is flattened by the Monty Python foot.

Ling-Ling helps Foxxy in ghost form.

• Foxxy vs. the Board of Education
• *In a parody of unmasking villains in the Scooby-Doo cartoons, Captain Hero rips Toot's head off as she is being arrested for some unspecified offense, leaving him to determine "This is no fat monster... It's a blood fountain!"
• *After saving Foxxy from a beast resembling a Rancor from ', Ling-Ling''' is crushed to death by the monster. This is a rare instance in which the character clearly remains dead for the rest of the episode, though he does come back as a ghost.

• Little Orphan Hero
• *As the housemates try to convince depressed quadruple amputee Jeff not to commit suicide, Toot hangs herself.
• *After Jeff announces to the housemates that he's actually an undercover cop named Jeffrey, Clara, not wanting to go back to prison, jumps out the window.

• Clum Babies
• *At the end of the episode, Bob the Cucumber snaps and goes on a shooting spree, killing Clara, Foxxy, Spanky, Captain Hero, Xandir, Toot, and Ling-Ling, as well as most of the episode's guest characters and finally himself. The only housemate to survive the carnage is Wooldoor, who presumably will use his Clum Babies to resurrect everyone once he finished masturbating.

• Terms of Endearment
• *After Captain Hero accidentally causes Foxxy to turn into a minstrel show caricature, Mickey Mouse has her erased from existence for being politically incorrect. However, Captain Hero, taking a cue from the movie Superman, reverses the rotation of the Earth, undoing all of the events that transpired in the episode and instead changing evolution to make everyone 'boob people'.

• Captain Girl
• *After losing a game of "Not-it!" to determine who has to be the one to impregnate Toot, Ling-Ling commits seppuku.

• Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree
• *As the housemates prepare to confront the Entertainment Weekly critic who gave them a bad review, Spanky tells the housemates that if they're going to chicken out, now is their last chance. Clara, Foxxy, Toot, Wooldoor, and Ling-Ling run and jump out the window.

• The Lemon-AIDS Walk

• *After the housemates confront Hero about his steroid use, he flies into a rage and kills them all (as well as the twelve year-old girl and donkey they brought him) in various gruesome ways. Ling-Ling dies a second time after being smashed like a Piggy bank by Hero, and Toot, Foxxy, Xandir, Spanky, Clara, and Wooldoor all die as well.

• A Very Special Drawn Together Afterschool Special
• *Captain Hero throws Clara out of a window into a tree, and her mangled corpse is later seen still hanging there.
• *Xandir is asked to defecate on top of a glass table while Ling-Ling lies underneath it. However, the table shatters, impaling Ling-Ling with shards of glass. Foxxy and Xandir then chop his body into pieces with a meat cleaver and feed them to an alligator.
• *Spanky shoots Foxxy when she and Xandir try to escape. He then shoots Toot when she interferes with him while he is trying to kill Xandir. Finally, Spanky is gunned down by the police.

• Alzheimer's That Ends Well
• *After Toot inadvertently reveals the seniors' secret that Alzheimer's disease is a made-up disease, they try various means to kill her. When all their attempts fail, and Toot escapes, the seniors bring in Boba Fett to track her down. Boba Fett rigs up a booby trap to kill "the fat pig", but Spanky is the one who ends up being blown to bits.

• The Drawn Together Clip Show
• *When Wooldoor discovers that his entire life the past two years has been watched by millions of people, he panics (since he is supposed to be in the Witness Protection Program) and jumps out the window, plummeting to his death. He immediately returns after the commercial break, dressed as Weird Al Yankovic.
