If you think that "Adventure Time" makes absolutely no sense and makes your head hurt, then do NOT watch "Ugly Americans"--a show that makes even less sense and tosses in liberal doses of obscenities. Because of this, you DON'T want your kids to see this. Of course, like "South Park" (which precedes it here in the States), kids will probably watch it anyway.If I tried to explain the plot, my brain would probably explode. It's set in an alternate reality New York and involves a stupid counselor, Mark, and his incredibly freakish friends. One looks like Satan,...well, one looks like Satan and another like a female demon. There's also a wizard who looks and talks just like the Ice King in "Adventure Time". And then, there's his zombie friend (who seems to fall apart a LOT) and his counseling group--made up of the freakest freaks you'll ever see without first using LSD. Their adventures make no sense....none. Just sit back, turn off your brain, and enjoy. And ignore that the animation quality is really rather crappy.

"Ugly Americans" is smart, funny, and exceptionally well drawn. The characters are imaginative, and the dialog is very unique.Mark Lilly is a bleeding-heart liberal, determined to make a difference. Everything he does is well-intentioned, but almost completely ineffective. He reminds all men, I'm sure, of the woman who was dangerously crazy, but knew how to keep a guy around with good sex.Randall is the hilarious zombie roommate. He has held up better than other zombies on the show by paying for skin grafts. His one dead eye is permanently out of service, though.Callie, the half-demon boss and girlfriend of Mark, is incredibly hot! She's drawn and voiced well, and even her movements are sexy. Think Leela from "Futurama" with two eyes. She sheds her skin, and looks ten years younger. What man, or woman for that matter, wouldn't like to see that feature in a mate.Leonard, Mark's wizard co-worker, could wave his wand and fix all the trouble in the world. Something, however, has made him very unambitious. Maybe it's the constant flow of magically conjured super-alcohol he drinks, or maybe it's the fact he had VD for 300 years.So far, after 6 episodes, the show is staying fresh and funny. Let's hope the writers don't run out of ideas.

The show's pilot episode was a strong one , and the next one didn't disappoint either.There don't seem to be any redundant characters so far , and nobody's voice is particularly annoying (a trait often found in other shows).The plots are great and the characters are unique - each with his/her own agenda. It's a bit too early to see if there's any continuity , but that most likely won't be a problem with this show.The animation style is more then pleasant - nothing overly exaggerated or displeasing.Yes it's an adult cartoon , but to each his own. I believe Ugly Americans fits it's time slot well.

With more and more animated TV shows being available for adults, Ugly Americans seems like just another one. It's quite entertaining, but it's not quite spectacular or amazing.Although with only the pilot out, it's difficult to ascertain it's viewability, but the characters seem... alright. The plot is.. alright. It's not wildly funny, but it has its moments. The show is a little rough, and with a bit of refinement, could be quite entertaining.I find the idea of using such characters, and such an environment novel and refreshing, but it seems a little stale still, in the stories. You have your regular joe, trying not to be knocked down by the big man. He's a pretty average guy, moreso because everyone else around him is a monster, zombie, alien, wizard, devil.. anything else you can think of. A do-gooder trying to make it in the big world, full of eccentric characters. However, sometimes, as this show proves, having eccentric characters is just not enough.Although, lacking in original story-telling, I have high hopes for it! Since there's been very few episodes, it seems like it could improve. But a revolutionary show? No.
