This show is great and funnier that almost all adult animated comedies these days (2021). All the characters are great. The voice acting is solid. The stories are mostly great and interesting. The show does have a drawback. While there are very few sex scenes and those are brief and there is no nudity, the show (ecspecially in season 1) focuses way too much on sex/sexual themes and that aspect gets vulgar and redundant. In this overemphasis they also push some jokes too far. If they replaced that content i would love to see many more seasons sad this show got canned.
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.
Absolutely brilliant show that's was so ahead of its time. Shame it got canceled so early in its lifespan.
It's such a shame that Comedy Central basically let this show die, since it had an interesting setting full of potential.
It could be have a fascinating, horror-themed counterpart of Futurama, with the kind of twisted humor that wouldn't have a place in your average animated sitcom.
And honestly, it seems Comedy Central has no real interest in animation (Besides South Park) focusing instead in dreadful and extremely low-quality series that are merely vulgar and not amusing at all.

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.
