Does /co/ remember Ugly Americans? Was anyone on here even on /co/ when it first came out?

>>149680886 (OP)
I wasnt on /co/ but I do remember it. Catching it on Comedy Central back in the day when my family was staying somewhere with cable was always fun. Callie was pretty hot too.

exactly how much continuity are you expecting from a bunch of lurkers?

>>149680944
Actually, looking back at the dates, I might have actually been here. I got onto 4chan in Highschool, right around the time this would have been airing, and I know I definitely spent most of my time on/co/ back then, so I may have actually discussed it here. Honestly don't know though, I think I remember the p0ny problem before they sequestered it.

>>149680886 (OP)
It was a great show and deserved more seasons.

>>149680886 (OP)
i liked it, and wish it stays a hidden gem.

>>149681245
>>149681088
Youtube has started throwing clips at me it made me realize I actually missed a lot of episodes

>>149680886 (OP)

Loved the show and wasn't able to watch the whole series until it was on streaming.

I do miss the style and humor of the show.

>>149680886 (OP)
I liked it when I was a teenager.

>>149680886 (OP)
it would randomly play on some random UK channel at like 4am.
so yeah i remember it, maybe it was bravo uk or comedy central 2?

>>149681679
You don't like Ugly Americans anymore... ?

Not enough scenes with Mark and Callie being degenerate.

Great show, didn't it get screwed over by South Park or something?

>>149682394
being way more popular doesnt count as screwing someone over.
thats like saying womens basketball is being screwed over because more people enjoy mens basketball

>>149682439
No I mean years ago I read some bullshit happened with someone fucking around with the scheduling or some such

>>149682469
OH, thats possible knowing the shit thats come out from CC over the years.

>>149682439
>>149682469
I get the feeling that Comedy Central always compares its newest shows to their current cashcows and if they don't perform the same they kill them prematurely.
So it's not South Park's fault but every animated show is expected to be the second South Park...or Brickleberry.

>>149682630
>Brickleberry
I HATE that i enjoyed the first season. then it was just weird and netflix made like 20 different clones of it.

>>149680886 (OP)
We had tripfags that worked on it that posted here.

>>149681807
I don't know. I haven't watched it since I was a teenager. It could be another Code Monkeys where I don't really find it as charming as I did back then.

I remember /a/ freaking out because it had Tsukasa from Lucky Star getting tentacle raped at one point.
Very high on the list of bizarre crossover/homages.

I was here when it was airing and it wasn't unpopular but discussion of the series usually devolved into lusting over Callie.
>>149682469
You might be thinking of another show. Season 2 was a split season of 17 episodes. The first 7 aired with Futurama, and the second ten aired with South Park. It bled ratings compared to season 1.

>Was anyone on here even on /co/ when it first came out?
Pfft no, I was like three years old when it premiered. Boomer detected.

>>149683702
HAHAHAHA OWNED!!! XD !
is it okay if i upload you reply to r/4chan? id really appreciate your consent
>waits patiently and paws my snooter

>>149683558
wonder how Colelasquid is doing.
>Still doing shit
Good for them.
Genuinely surprised she didn't troon out, she's just the butchest straight woman ever and it just gives the vibes of "I want to fuck that so badly because I wanna be that" like she could give the White Lotus AGP speech but it's for hairy baras instead of Asian Chicks.

>>149683654
Like, just to reiterate how odd and out of place this is.
You've got a generic ninja, a sumo holding a samurai sword.
And then you've got a oddly specific secondary character from a currently airing series with no official English translation.
Like, a bunch of superficial stereotypes suddenly infiltrated with genuine weebcore.
I'm really curious what was going on behind the scenes with the guy who slipped that in.

>>149680886 (OP)
I used to watch it while I waited for South Park to start when I was a kid in my third world village. I liked it the art style is still really cool. I've seen a few clips here and there on youtube now a days but I never sat and watched the whole show. Is it worth the rewatch?
I also remember the latin american spanish dub of it being really good.

>>149680886 (OP)
I've been on /co/ since 2007.

>>149683742
I can totally picture like the only weeb in the studio casually giving the dude making the outline of the scene a Tsukasa reference picture to "help him out" but he was actually inserting his fetish on the show in secret. Cute and Funny enjoyers move in silence like lasagna.

>>149683742
Well the idea of the scene is to create a bunch of goofy stereotypes with the storyboard/outline being very generic tokens with little opportunity to sneak in references....but at the same time I feel like they could've definitely gotten a more specific Ninja reference if they were really just trying to sneak in weeb jokes. Like that could've so easily been Kakashi or whoever.
It's probable it's just something like >>149683829 where they just pulled up "Japanese Sailor Suit" reference and that managed to catch their eye.

>March 17, 2010
Woah, buddy. It was a great show, very funny and I liked how they built the world and had callbacks without making the show loredumps and member the thing.

>>149683742
>secondary character
Tsukasa was not a secondary character, she's one of the 4 main characters. Also Lucky Star aired in 2007 AND was dubbed by 2008/2009 well before Ugly Americans aired in 2010. Lucky Star was crazy popular with anime fans at the time. It was arguably more poplar than Haruhi was so an animator slipping in Tsukasa really isn't too shocking. Its pretty surface level compared to, say, the shit the Star Trek TNG guys would squeeze in to the backgrounds of various episodes.

>>149683654
tsukasa being raped is fine but how come so many streotype shit in one image? what was the deal?

>>149684095
Its a quick shot from a gag and all the countries are shown in this stereotypical fashion.

>>149683737
Is that Joseph as Vamp?

>>149684095
The guy who doesn't want the samurai robot ninja tentacle raping monster has escaped from the meme and is now in the real world, my God.

>>149680886 (OP)
I remember it. Pretty good shows sad it was canceled.

>>149680886 (OP)
Good show, dug the premise. Mark was cool and Croatian Man was real.

>>149684163
>all the countries are shown in this stereotypical fashion
can you post some of them?

>>149680886 (OP)
Yeah, I used to watch this.
It was pretty good, if I remember correctly.
Haven't seen it since it went off the air.
I should reacquaint myself with it.

>>149681088
It was alright, but it didn't need more seasons. S1 was very solid, but S2 already suffered a lot from both flanderization and shallow, meandering plots. Many of the concepts were still really fun, but the execution was just awful. There's a reason why the ratings just absolutely tanked.

>>149684095
Humor.

>>149683677
>>149684972
I wish they did more scenes like this, the mono-coloured lit scenes in the pilot had way more animation smoothness to it than th rest of the shots in the show

>>149681285
This remains the only clip I've ever seen of this show.

Why did American animation go through a weird deliberately ugly art phase for a few years?

>>149684058
>Tsukasa was not a secondary character, she's one of the 4 main characters. A
Let's be real, she was the Bill of the group.
She's not Hank, she's not Peggy, or even Dale. The show is Konata>>>>>>Negumi>>>>Tsukasa>>>Miyuki>Everyone else.
Choosing Tsukasa is like choosing Bill as a background character. Like... Why?

>>149684095
>but how come so many streotype shit in one image?
It's a slideshow gag showing how if they don't solve the mcguffun then the world ends in global catastrophe.

>>149684231
I'm not gonna post it but the other one has a farmer and his livestock getting attached.

>>149681732
>Trump demon
>2010
Wonder if they fully aware of what was coming.

>>149680886 (OP)
i knew it from the ps3 game

>>149680886 (OP)
It was ahead of its time

>>149686269
Trump's been the posterchild for hard-ass corporatism since the 1980's.
If you're running a gag with demons as corporate management, it would have been odder if you didn't have Trump in there.

>>149681732
I didn't know this series existed. Thanks

I remember watching it with /co/, yes. Fun show. Ended too soon.

Best bit was the virus that turns you into Larry King.

>>149680886 (OP)
It's an odd show where it's pretty mediocre but still really enjoyable. Not sure how well it'd fare in the modern "binge a season" streaming format, though.

Too many episodes revolved around Mark getting tricked into thinking he's not getting tricked, the worst example being the series finale which felt like satire. Other than that a great show.
>well sandwich is crossed out

>>149685684
Are you calling UA ugly? Because it's a pretty faithful representation of 70's pulp comics, and I think it looks really good.

>>149686541
Maybe he thinks it's weird that Trump is acting like a dickhead in the clip, while people pretended that he was some jolly and beloved TV clown up until 2015 when he technically becamea republican

>>149689714
Eh, I disagree, it's inspired by it but they've absolutely gone out their way to make it look a bit uglier and goofier. For example they've gone out of their way to include prominent facial structure lines but added no shading or shadowing that brings out the facial details to go with it. It makes it look that bit more awkward.

>>149680886 (OP)
I loved it. It was a shame it never got more seasons, but it did fall off a little in the 2nd season. Feel like it was way better than most of the "after South Park" shows at the time and a few years after.

>>149680886 (OP)
I have never seen a show dedicate itself to flanderizing its own characters as fast and as hard as Ugly Americans did. Ruined the second season with that shit.

>>149689752
Have these people not seen The Apprentice?
It was airing from 2004 all the way up until he ran for president. His whole schtick was lording over people and firing them unceremoniously.

>>149681732
I've been looking for this for years, always figured this was what led to ugly americans
Also had no idea that it was hack kroll and john mulaney

>>149680886 (OP)
It was fine. kinda b tier, but i always liked the art style and the demon chick may have given me a fetish.

>>149682394
wasn't that allegedly drawn together that had the feud with south park?

I had a soft spot for it because it was produced by the same studio as Superjail.

It was Futurama, but with fantasy creatures instead of aliens.

>>149680886 (OP)
It's one of those shows that would have been much more successful today in a sea of family guy knock offs

>>149680886 (OP)
I’ve got digital back ups of it and watch it every couple of years since it’s aired. I like that it’s an unknown gem and not beaten to death in online discourse by people pretending to be interested in it only for internet points. A lot of shows just get over exposed for their own good, and sometimes I don’t want to talk about the same stuff to the point of obsession. Everything in moderation
>There is no “i” in penis

>>149680886 (OP)
Yeah...This show sucked.
