** We get one in the form of an editing gag in "Drawing Pokemon Type Combos that were NEVER USED IN GAME":
-->'''Jacob''': These are the [type combinations] that were too boring: Normal/Rock,
-->'''Nathan''': 'Hey, what music are you listening to?' 'Normal rock.' (A graphic of Music/BillyJoel's greatest hits slides onscreen)

Originating as a miniseries for [[Website/CollegeHumor College Humor]] called ''Morning Drawfee'', and eventually taking on a life of its own as ''The Drawfee Channel'', Drawfee is a Website/YouTube show wherein a number of artists and illustrators get together to create original drawings based on suggestions from the audience. Although the artists do get the general topic for each video in advance, they always start from scratch, and the viewer gets to follow their work as it slowly develops over the course of the episode. There are also special "challenge" episodes, where one host assigns themed prompts to the others, and they have to improvise.

The founding fathers of the show are Nathan Yaffe and Caldwell Tanner of [[Website/CollegeHumor CollegeHumor]], who were later joined by Jacob Andrews from ''For Lack Of A Better Comic'', Julia [=LePetit=] from [[WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals Dorkly]], and Karina "Dilfosaur" Farek. Frequently recurring guests are Dorkly's Willie Muse, Jake Young, and Tristan "The Lore Librarian" Cooper.

On January 8th, 2020, IAC, the parent company of Drawfee, Dorkly, and College Humor, laid off most of their personnel, which included [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB3-HGct_10 all of the cast and crew of Drawfee]]. The channel's future remained uncertain, as IAC still technically owned the Drawfee brand. Thankfully, the team [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jRfar7-3CNo announced]] on July 2nd that they had gotten back the rights to Drawfee, and were coming back stronger than ever as fully independent content creators.

* '''Drawfee Beans:''' Similar to the ''Drawfee Challenges'', but more frequently released, less elaborate and recorded live. In the transition period after the Website/CollegeHumor shutdown, Beans stood for the majority of the channel's content. After the channel became independent Beans was officially retired, though the format is still used for the occasional one-off holiday episode.

* DeathIsCheap: Nathan has at least died twice, once in the last episode of ''Drawfee Variety Hour'', and again in the video announcing their layoff from College Humor. Fortunately, they had another one ready to go each time.

* RevolvingDoorCasting: The cast varies from episode to episode, and over the years new artists have come (like Karina) and gone, or at least started CommutingOnABus (like Caldwell.) Eventually, due to College Humor folding, the cast settled on Nathan, Jacob, Karina and Julia. The common format involves either Nathan or Jacob hosting/calling the prompts, while the other three cast members draw.

* JustForPun: As stated above, all of the hosts appreciate a good pun, but perhaps the most prominent run of puns was the ''Drawing New Postage Stamps'' episode, which involved a {{WesternAnimation/Lady And The Tramp}} stamp, a ramp stamp, a vamp stamp ([[RunningGag drawn by Julia, of course]]), and closed the loop with a [[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure Scamp stamp]].
