Toot Goes Bollywood

"Toot Goes Bollywood"

"Toot Goes Bollywood" is the thirty-fifth episode of the animated series Drawn Together.

Storyline

Foxxy vows to give up sex and Toot vows to get some. Wooldoor hypnotizes Foxxy to try to discover why she is such a whore which causes her to recall a memory. The Gang refuses to admit it, and at the highly public court trial, Foxxy, the victim, is put on trial. After her release from jail, Foxxy goes on a Kill Bill-style killing spree and massacres the Gang. In the meantime, the housemates tease Toot until Xandir finally offers to help Toot change her look. She gets herself a muumuu and is very happy, until she is hit by a car full of Indians that is.

Musical number: "Indian Song", which plays twice during different scenes featuring Toot with the Hindu family. Later, Foxxy and Phat Allen's gang sing "Implanted Memories", a song similar in style to those featured on Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

Notes and inside references

• The working title for this episode was "Fat Albert and the Gang Bang."

• Otis Day makes a cameo as himself, as well as Abbey McBride who provides the voices of Ling-Ling, and does a live cameo as a white woman getting robbed by Otis. Day is Drawn Together's first live action guest star.

• When Toot asks which of the housemates is going to have sex with her, a quick clip of Toot is shown reading a copy of Entertainment Weekly with Paris Hilton on the cover. Although it is not a real EW cover, this is the third time this particular magazine has appeared on the show, following "Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree" and "Charlotte's Web of Lies".

• The shot of a flying airplane superimposed over a map of the world originally appeared in the episode "Freaks & Greeks". This is a reference to Indiana Jones' flights throughout the world.

• This is Wooldoor's second appearance as a psychiatrist. His first appearance was in "Little Orphan Hero".

Animated cameos

• At the beginning of the episode, Foxxy is having sex with Scooby-Doo (whom she mistakenly refers to as Astro), while Marvin the Martian waits in line.

Cultural references

• The title of this episode refers to the Mumbai film industry in India, informally known as Bollywood. Despite the title, Bollywood is neither mentioned nor alluded to at any point in the episode.

• Toot's "Tooters" outfit is based on the outfits worn by servers at the restaurant Hooters.

• After Xandir tells Toot she isn't a hideous beast, the scene cuts to Toot on a screen full of platforms and ladders. This is a reference to the video game Donkey Kong.

• The store Large Bryant is a reference to the plus-size clothing chain Lane Bryant.

• After buying her muumuu, Toot skips out into the street, then throws her hat into the air while happily dancing around; this is a reference to Mary Richards's behavior in the opening credits of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

• The scene where Foxxy infiltrates Phat Allen's junkyard, she taunts the words "Oh Phat Allen come out to play" which is a reference to the 1979 movie The Warriors where the antagonist Luther taunts The Warriors using three bottles placed in his fingers chanting "Warriors, come out to play".

• The Hindu family claims that the most powerful Indian person is "Kumar from that White Castle movie", a reference to the role played by Kal Penn in the film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

• Phat Allen and his gang are thinly veiled parodies of characters created by Bill Cosby for the series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. The gang members are named Phat Allen, Mushy Mouth, Strange Arnold, Mr. Russell, William, Chucky, Not Bright Donald, and Smoothy; these are references to the characters Fat Albert, Mushmouth, Weird Harold, Russell, Bill, Bucky, Dumb Donald, and Rudy, respectively.

• At Foxxy's trial, Spanky is dressed as Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Later in the episode, Sanders himself appears, where he is decapitated by Foxxy. Costume worn by Spanky is also an allusion to the fictional southern lawyer Atticus Finch.

• When she bulks up in prison, a poster of Malcolm X can be seen on Foxxy's wall. She also has a menorah tattooed on her back, symbolic of Chanukah, a traditional Jewish holiday.

• Although India has had many monarchs throughout its history, there has never been a native Indian who has been leader of the entire country with the specific title of 'king', alongside the fact India is currently a republic.
