Ugly Americans/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

A list of the characters from the [[Comedy Central]] series ''[[Ugly Americans]]'' and the tropes that define them.

The main character. A human social worker in New York City, employed by the Department of Integration.

 

* [[Badass Normal]]: He has his moments.

* [[Bastard Boyfriend]]: To his college girlfriend, Jacqueline. The psychological damage he inflicted to her not only lowered her self esteem, but drove her to throw her life away so she'd one day become perfect for him.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]

* [[Geeky Turn On]]

* [[Good Is Not Dumb]]: Some episodes show that he's a lot more on the ball than people think. Particularly the one where he's forced into selling his super-sized soul to Aldremach {{spoiler|and gets it back by short-selling futures in the soul market, then spending the rest of the day debauching himself until his soul is the size of a pea. When Aldremach throws it out in disgust, he's able to get it back, along with 10 grand}}.

* [[Loser Protagonist]]: Mark is sometimes portrayed as this, in-show.

Mark's direct superior and on-again off-again girlfriend. A half-human succubus.

 

* [[Anything That Moves]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. "Just because I've gotta have it doesn't mean I don't have standards."

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: As Dick. Complete with rippling muscles, [[Gag Penis]], and the voice of H. Jon Benjamin.

* [[Clothing Damage]]: Happens a lot, [[Ms. Fanservice|naturally]], like when she transforms, or when she lactates fire.

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Very often, but mostly out of self-centeredness rather than stupidity.

* [[Gainaxing]]

* [[Horny Devils]]: In "Soulsucker" it's shown that she even has the ability to suck souls out through the urethra.

* [[Power Is Sexy]]

 

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Including Great Brain's fiancée, and a blob creature.

* [[Bi the Way]]

* [[Brain Food]]

** He's also ''ecstatic'' over the prospect of going to Summer Camp, to the point of forgetting the reason for being there in favor of carving a ([[Hidden Depths|rather ornate]]) totem pole.

** He also can't poop away from home {{spoiler|due to abandonment issues.}}

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Twayne fits this to a T, given his voice and some of the stuff that happens to him (e.g. getting a nosebleed while traveling down to Hell due to the change in altitude). One of the few characters to pull this ''and'' [[Scary Black Man]] off simultaneously.

* [[Camp Straight]]

* [[Cannot Tell a Joke]]:

* [[Casanova Wannabe]]

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Though visually very imposing, Twayne is a big creampuff at heart, and highly naive to boot.

* [[Scary Black Man]]: Ordinarily, demons on the show are portrayed as upper-class, WASPy types; Twayne is the only exception to date.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]

* [[Character Development]]: In less than a season, he went from being an angry, frothing-at-the-mouth racist, violent cop to a mildly short-tempered clown who seems to berate the non-humans because he feels he's expected to.

* [[Gag Penis]]: Grimes' wang is big enough to be used as a bludgeon.

 

 

* [[Large and In Charge]]

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Seems to be standard for demons.

* [[Satan]]: Kind of. While he is referred to as "the Devil", this appears to be a title for the current head of Satan's line.
