** The HoYay between Randall and Mark is taken UpToEleven in "Mummy Dearest", with their lease agreement becoming an analogy for marriage - to the point that Mark ''proposes'' at the end of the episode, and Randall hangs a pretty heavy LampShade on it.

* SpiritualSuccessor: As a WorkCom featuring a normal guy living in a version of New York City inhabited by FantasyKitchenSink and OurMonstersAreDifferent fellow citizens, ''Ugly Americans'' has a lot of the same tone as ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', only skewed slightly more to fantasy than sci-fi.

** He gets even more Woobie points when its revealed [[spoiler:that he's an ex-assassin trying to find a new life in America]]. He also lives in a pet shop.
* UnfortunateImplications:
** It looks like two or three of the five or so writers credited for ''So You Want to be a Vampire?'' are Jewish, but the identification of Jews and vampires has been made by real-life anti-Semites often enough that this child of Holocaust survivors is creeped-out by it.
** Identifying immigrants with classic (and not-so-classic)is problematic. On the other hand, Twayne being 'of the Connecticut Bonerapers' identifies demons with old-line W.A.S.P.s, which also might be so but would likely bother a different set of viewers.

The show had ample time to explore its worldbuilding through the main characters and the case-of-the-week ones, so there wasn't any "wasted plot"


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A common criticism of the show was that it focused too much on the (at times, rather generic) characters and not enough on the interesting and bizarre AlternateUniverse setting. This is even considered one of the reasons the show never really got popular.

* GermansLoveDavidHassellhoff: The show was far more popular in Latin America than in the United States. A combination of a good dub-work and not being screwed over by the Latin American branch of Creator/{{MTV}}[=/=]Creator/ComedyCentral is the reason why the series succeeded there.
