Jun-Jee

From Drawn Together Wiki

Jun-Jee is Ling-Ling's father. Just as Ling-Ling is based on Pikachu, Jun-Jee seems to be based on Raichu, the older, evolved form of Pikachu. Jun-Jee used to be a great battle monster like Ling-Ling, but eventually retired and started a dry cleaning business, in which he coined the classic phrase "No Ticky, No Washy!". Like Ling-Ling, he secretes a hallucinogenic drug when disappointed. In Jun-Jee's first appearance, he spoke in Ling-Ling's language, but in each of his subsequent appearances, he speaks English.

The creators reveal in the DVD commentary to "The Other Cousin" that his name is Jun-Jee, named after Jun Song and Jee Choe from Big Brother IV; however it is not until Season Three's "Freaks & Greeks" that the character's name is identified in the show. Jun-Jee is extremely wealthy, and his vision is significantly impaired because of cataracts, a fact which hampers his ability to enjoy one of his favorite hobbies, karaoke. In "Clum Babies", Jun-Jee indicates he is still married to Ling-Ling's mother, but he is single by the time he makes his next appearance in "Freaks & Greeks"; whether he is widowed or divorced is not mentioned.

Jun-Jee is very disappointed that Ling-Ling is a reality TV star. In the past, Jun-Jee had a tendency to miss important events in his son's life. He also disapproves of Ling-Ling's lifestyle, feeling that Ling-Ling battles too much and needs to settle down and find one monster to battle with; to this end, he set up an "arranged battle" with a female battle monster named Ni-Pul. Despite this, he and his son share an obvious bond with each other.

Jun-Jee is voiced by Jess Harnell.

[edit] Appearances

The Other Cousin: Ling-Ling becomes very disappointed when he does not receive a visit from his father, whom he had not seen in a long time. Xandir, Toot, and Wooldoor notice that Ling-Ling secretes a hallucinogenic drug when disappointed, and proceed to exploit this until they have licked Ling-Ling completely numb. Wanted to atone for their actions, the three manage to locate Ling-Ling's father for him, and promptly reunite father and son. Jun-Jee expresses disappointment that his son is a reality TV star, whereupon he begins to secret the same hallucinogenic drug that Ling-Ling produced earlier in the episode; Toot, Xandir, and Wooldoor waste no time jumping on him and licking him to their heart's content.

Clum Babies: Jun-Jee's voice is heard on an answering machine message, where he informs Ling-Ling of the battle he has arranged for him with a female battle monster.

Freaks & Greeks: After Jun-Jee tries to commit suicide, Ling-Ling brings him back to the Drawn Together house to cheer him up. When Jun-Jee sees Toot, he falls in love with her at first sight, and marries her shortly thereafter. He later grows to regret the union when he realizes she only wants him for his money. The situation also causes a rift between Jun-Jee and Ling-Ling, though this rift is repaired by episode's end.
