Plot
 | This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2010) |
The scene opens at a bar in the land of Bedrock. A drunken and pregnant Toot is informed that someone has come to see her. The visitor turns out to be her old housemate Foxxy who tries to tell Toot that their lives are in danger. The scene flashes back to six months prior. The housemates notice that the competitions they are given seem less like reality show challenges and more like ways for the Jew Producer to get his rocks off. Then Foxxy happens to notice that she and the others can swear without being censored. When she discovers the show's control room, having been abandoned for an apparently long time, she realizes that Drawn Together has been cancelled. The housemates check their TV listings and find out that their time slot has been taken over by something called The Suck My Taint Show. Foxxy immediately calls up the network to figure out what is going on. The network head, upon hearing from Foxxy learns that the housemates are still alive and summons I.S.R.A.E.L. (Intelligent Smart Robot Animation Eraser Lady), a robot designed specifically to erase them. The Jew Producer races to the Drawn Together house to evacuate them before I.S.R.A.E.L. can eliminate them. The robot shows up while he is there and erases the house, but they manage to escape just in time in Foxxy's van.
Clara offers to take the group back to her kingdom where they'll be safe. The Jew Producer tells her that is not an option because all of them are cheap knockoffs of real cartoons. The housemates argue over what to do next, Foxxy insists that the way to survive is to get their show back on the air, and suggests that they can seek out the Suck My Taint Girl for help. Clara, refusing to believe that she is not a real princess, still intends to return to her kingdom, claiming that her father, the king, can protect them. Hero, Xandir, and Ling-Ling decide to go with Clara, while Spanky and Wooldoor decide to go with Foxxy to try to get their show back on the air. While the others are arguing, Toot steals the van and drives off alone.
Back at headquarters, the Jew Producer tells the network head that he cannot bring himself to have the housemates erased, having become attached to them. The Jew Producer states that he won't help the network head with his mission, but the network head reveals that he has kidnapped the Jew Producer's son. The Jew Producer reluctantly agrees to help, and he and I.S.R.A.E.L. take off in pursuit of the housemates once again. Clara, Hero, Xandir, and Ling-Ling arrive at Clara's kingdom, expecting to find refuge. However, nobody there seems to recognize Clara. She encounters the king of the land, who is not her father, and even more shockingly, a woman who appears to be the "real" princess. The guards end up killing Clara, but the other three manage to escape.
Meanwhile, Foxxy, Spanky, and Wooldoor visit the set of The Suck My Taint Show and meet the Suck My Taint Girl, who reveals herself to be a fan of the housemates' show. She tells the group that they were cancelled because vulgar and offensive content is only acceptable when your show "makes a point", and that if they want to get Drawn Together back on the air, they will need to get a point, which they can do by making a visit to Make-A-Point Land. She tells Foxxy that if she will bring the rest of the Drawn Together gang to meet her, she will take them to Make-A-Point Land. After tracking down the others, the entire group, minus the deceased Clara, return to the set of The Suck My Taint Show. The Suck My Taint Girl is heartbroken to learn of Clara's death, but agrees to take the rest of the group to Make-A-Point Land to get a point and get their show back on the air.
The wizard of Make-A-Point Land agrees to give the group a point, and presents them with a box containing said point. Just as they are about to open the box, however, Spanky stops them. He declares that maybe they shouldn't open the box and says that he is happier being disgusting for no reason. The others agree with Spanky deciding that maybe it's okay to be who you are without feeling you have to make a point to justify it. Wooldoor disagrees, however saying that he can't go on without Drawn Together and is determined to get back on the air. He opens the box, but instead of a point, it contains an eraser bomb, which explodes, erasing him from existence. The other housemates, horrified, turn to the wizard and demand an explanation. The wizard says he was forced to try to kill the housemates under threat of death. It is then that the network head, the Jew Producer, and I.S.R.A.E.L. step forward from the shadows. Foxxy asks how they knew the gang was going to the palace, upon which the Suck My Taint Girl steps forward to reveal that she was the one who tipped them off. I.S.R.A.E.L. prepares to kill the housemates, however, the Jew Producer steps in front of them to shield them and pleads with the robot to let them live. He manages to convince I.S.R.A.E.L. that they have just as much right to exist as she does, causing I.S.R.A.E.L. to decide not to carry out her orders. The network head orders I.S.R.A.E.L. to eliminate them, but I.S.R.A.E.L. declares that she is through being bullied and impales the network head on a spike. The network head opens his coat to reveal that he has enough explosive erasers strapped to his waist to destroy all of Make-A-Point Land. Toot decides that it's up to her to be the hero, and opens her legs and aims them at the network head. At that moment, her baby emerges from her womb and knocks the detonator out of the network head's hand. The Suck My Taint Girl tries to grab it, but the Jew Producer dives on top of her to stop her. As this is taking place, the housemates make their getaway. The Jew Producer and the Suck My Taint Girl struggle for possession of the detonator, in the process dropping it, erasing all of Make-A-Point Land, including themselves. The housemates make it out just in time.
The housemates visit the remains of the erased Drawn Together house. The Jew Producer's son shows up to inform them that he might be able to help them. The housemates ask him if he can get their show back on the air. The Jew Son says probably not, but he will be able to get them a direct-to-DVD movie. Everything seems to have ended happily until Spanky accidentally steps on another eraser bomb, erasing them all from existence.
Cast and characters
- Princess Clara (voiced by Tara Strong) - A pampered, hyper-religious, and racist princess who is a parody of Disney princesses like Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

- Xandir P. Wifflebottom (voiced by Jack Plotnick) - A hypersensitive, homosexual, overemotional, and effeminate parody of video game heroes like Link from The Legend of Zelda series.
