Ugly Americans

Ever since the days of The Chapelle Show there has not been a show worthy enough to follow the great South Park, well for me "Ugly Americans" has pulled it off. The animation feels like a Sunday comic strip, but it works extremely well for the mood and tone of this comedy. In every scene of the show the animation will put a very vivid and humorous random character in the background just to add to the mood. The characters, "Mark Lilly, Randal, Grimes, Callie, Leonard the Wizard, and Twayne" all work very well together. The humor is very situational and crude. Some of the parallels the creators make between the setting in the show and real life events (such as the Twilight fad and Jersey Shores) are just hilarious. The relationship between Mark the social worker and his class of outcasts or monsters is just memorable and amazing. This show will make you want to write to Comedy Central and demand more episodes before they trash it like they do everything else.

I stayed up one late night and saw this come on, at first I was really, really confused, 10 minutes later I forgot about how confused I was and now i cant stop watching it.

Its so smart, and different from all the other cartoons (Family guy, The Simpsons ). Its not doing what most cartoons are doing now by following Family guys Random Jokes system. Which are funny just think people are getting a bit bored. This show you have to think, which is nice.

I am not very happy that its only has 7 episodes in one season and that i have read that its not doing very well in American which probably means that there wont be season 2.

Being English, with our superior sense of humour (big head) I find this show very funny, Give it ago watch 2 or 3 episodes before you make your verdict.

Or watch episode 6 which takes the absolute p*** out of twilight. The best episode so far.

Thanks For Reading

Really enjoyed season 1, did not like season 2 as much but there was a lot of potential with this.

Pity, lets hope someone can remake this one day or continue it.

Season 1 = 9 Season 2 = 6

I don't usually write reviews so bare with me.

My first impression from the ads was that this show would be another forgettable, slightly amusing animation that would die out after a season or two. Well, at least I was wrong on the first two counts and hopefully wrong on the last.

This show is unique and refreshing with an animation style similar to the short lived Adult Swim show Superjail. The pacing is fast and fun and it never lets up on the jokes.

Another aspect of this show that I really appreciate is the crafting of an interesting and expansive world all of it's own. The locations are all very different from one another and with their own 'charming' attributes. In the pilot episode we are introduced to Hell which has some very interesting stores.

The characters are widely varied in both personality and appearance and it just adds to the enjoyment. From the pretty average main character Mark's demon spawn boss/girlfriend Callie to his zombie roommate Randall to his wizard co-worker Leonard at the Department of Integration, Ugly Americans has plenty of interesting characters to keep you laughing.

All in all this show, despite having monsters and creatures, is basically a mirror of our own. It pokes fun at all kinds of situations in everyday life in a more grounded way than I thought possible in a show of this kind.

Ugly Americans has had a promising start, offering plenty of laughs and interesting characters to have me waiting in anticipation for new episodes. Check it out, people. You won't be disappointed.

I didn't catch Ugly Americans the day they went Air, but I was happy when I found out about them. Just to be clear at the very beginning: This show isn't for everyone.

Mixing up humans, demons, naked brains and what not may sometimes lead to stupidity, but this show makes it lead to the hilarity. Every episodes brings something new, either sick as hell or little less. It's refreshing to actually see a show which doesn't try too damn hard to be funny. Ugly Americans is simple: it has no rounding plot which will blow your freekin' mind, but it has that simplicity that's required for show to be good. Sometimes you won't even catch a sense out of things but still you'll laugh more than every minute. Many of my friends called this show "Stupid, immature, unfunny and insulting" - I can honestly say that, to the most people, it is. But this show isn't really made for "world-wide-knowing". Is it stupid? Yes. Isn't immature? Yes. Is it unfunny? No. Is it insulting? Hell yes.

Still, it depresses me to know that people are so tight in their minds that they can't comprehend simplicity of what this show brings. It's a simple story of billion different races living in the same world, trying to survive on their own ways. Centering a human around it just brings out our nature: we have to be in the center of all things. Mixture of amazingly portrayed characters and that subtle humor which sometimes you expect and sometimes you don't, creates an amazingly funny show which, yet again, is NOT for everyone.

Keep your horns up and your T-shirts on, 'cause it's gonna get hot.
