Line #3 YMMV/UglyAmericans


1	* AngstWhatAngst:
2	** Despite being drugged by a cult and effectively raped by Maggotbone Sr. and the occasional night terrors she experiences, Callie's mom feels no ill will towards either party and is implied to have at least tried to pursue a relationship with Maggotbone before leaving to raise Callie (whom she adores) on her own.
3	** This was retconned in "Callie's Little Sister" - turns out she was dating Music/FrankSinatra, and Mack (Callie's father) offered to impregnate her in exchange for her soul, and getting him out of his ArrangedMarriage with Twayne's mother, Violet.
4	* AscendedExtra: Angie, the facegina girl from "Pilot".
5	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: It's Creator/ECComics-based art-style, couple with Flash-animation so good that many viewers think the series was traditionally animated, makes it one of the best looking adult cartoons around. The animation is considered by many as one of the best aspects of the entire series.
6	* CultClassic: The show never really caught on but remained with a well liked fanbase through its run and is still seem as a rather fun show even years after it ended.
7	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
8	** Leonard, definitely.
9	** Doug. Started as just another person at Mark's workplace that [[SingleTear cried]] [[OnceAnEpisode once an episode]]. Then became Mark's assistant and now has an expanded backstory as [[spoiler: a Bolivian assassin trying to start over.]]
10	* FanPreferredCouple: Given the rampant amount of HoYay between them, Randall/Mark is pretty popular in fan-art.
11	* FriendlyFandoms: In Latin America, Ugly Americans fans tend to be also fans of ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''.
12	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: 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.
13	* HilariousInHindsight: The Manbirds have developed a distinct and complex language built around American obscenities after a traveler taught them all how to swear. Funny enough on its own, but couple that with newsreports of wild parrots in Australia incorporating expletives in their calls (having learned them from domesticated parrots) and you have a textbook case of life imitates art.
14	* HoYay
15	** Extra Freaky Squicky version with Randall's secret desire to eat Mark. Added [[ILoveTheDead Necro Yay]] angle since Randall is a Zombie.
16	** And don't forget when Mark is [[{{Genderswap}} turned into Randall's ex-girlfriend]]--the one Randall ''went zombie for.''
17	--->'''Mark:''' I really wish I had that information ''before'' I turned into a girl.\
18	'''Randall:''' Well it might not be a total loss. You could make a long-time fantasy of mine come true.
19	** Another mark for Randall and Mark: "Your denial's really turning me on. Is that weird to say?"
20	** Twayne with Leonard's nemesis in "Kill, Mark...Kill!"
21	** The entire Randall/J9 sequence in "Soulsucker", culminating in Randall rubbing a hand over J9's crotch.
22	** The HoYay between Randall and Mark is taken up to eleven 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.
23	---> '''Randall:''' Well, I kinda wanted to the guy in this scenario... but '''yes!'''
24	* MoralEventHorizon: Twayne crossed the line absolutely when he kills his brother to usurp his rank as general, gets worse when he rebels when he was a baby, he killed all his brothers.
25	** [[spoiler: The whole episode this was revealed in turned out be a giant act, Twayne might not really have siblings.]]
26	* NauseaFuel: Grimes licking urine from the floor in the episode "G. I. Twayne".
27	* NightmareFuel:
28	** The very first scene in the show we get to see Callie's silhouette grinning down at us.
29	** Randall's dream about eating Mark's brain.
30	** Callie's giant demonic form. Not something you want to meet in a dark alley, or even a lit one.
31	** Callie's demon form must be pretty tame compared to others since we don't even get to ''see the face'' of Lilith's demonic form--who is also about 10 times the size of Callie's.
32	** Then there's the Larry King horde. BRR...
33	* ParanoiaFuel: Clark Dungaree is watching you. No matter where you are. And he's making a new hit show about it.
34	* 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.
35	* {{Squick}}:
36	** In "Pilot", a taxi driver of seemingly Jamaican decent complains to Mark about how his sister [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction married a land whale]]. If we are to believe his sister is human, well... do with that what you will. Most of the series will probably embody this trope as well, as it comes from the same people who did Superjail.
37	** The less mention of Twayne in a man-thong, the better. And those barbell nipple-rings. Ugh.
38	** To some, that may be FanService, he is fit at least
39	** Mark getting turned into a hot woman? Kinky. Having said hot woman's body go into a cursed rapid aging? Bad. Having to stop the curse by [[spoiler: having sex with a man? Back to kinky... maybe. But having to have sex with the geriatric-fetish coworker? SQUICK.]]
40	** In the episode "Mummy Dearest", Grimes receives a French kiss from...His mother. And if that wasn't enough, his mom also happens to be a thousand-years mummy. Worse, there is [[NauseaFuel a closeup of her rotten tongue while she does this.]]
41	* TearJerker:
42	** Mark's depression after he arranged a zombie to work as a window washer at the Municipal Brain Depository by mistake.
43	** Albert, the teenaged Manbird Mark raised, singing "Oh Danny Boy" to his dying father... who [[IHaveNoSon rejects him]] immediately after.
44	** The example below, in TheWoobie.
45	* TheWoobie: Doug (Koala Man).
46	** This has been all-but confirmed in "Wet Hot Demonic Summer" (if not ButtMonkey status). Even after making their escape (led by a panicked Doug who was digging out to avoid being eaten), Randall still wants to eat him... with everyone else just silently approving.
