    The premise is a neat riff on immigration and fitting in, but the jokes are a bit conventional for a show that looks so pleasantly odd.

    The show's dry humor, mixed with a rather troubling visual style where everything is stiff and vaguely deformed, mostly just makes you feel uneasy.

    Ugly Americans is just crude and vulgar. It's not funny. It's lame. Really lame. It's not just that it's inappropriate for children, it's inappropriate for everyone. Well, everyone with an IQ in double digits. It's terrible.

    Its rare i see a oddball universe style show that I actually enjoy. A show with oddities and a straight man who isn't a complete outcast but seems to fit in as well in his own weird way. Best of luck to the creators and I hope it catches on globally.… Expand

    I think it's a decent show other than the fact that its kinda dry and it's pointless off color jokes are worn out, not to mention the animation, though the animation is different it's still looks kinda of half assed and looks stylistically similar to Adult Swim's "superjail!". Other than that a pretty much ok show no way near as good as "Drawn Together" or "South Park".… Expand

    Occasionally funny, but, like so much of Comedy Central's content, it relies heavily on the gross-out factor and is as soulless as it�39;s many infernal characters. If the creators thought this would be an insightful parable about multiculturalism, they should think again.… Expand
