this looks like one of those games where you're bored with your friends, try the demo and end up buying it, play through it completely, and then regret your purchase, all in the same 24 hours.

The show is pretty great. This is exactly not what to do with that property.

I was expecting a 2d side scrolling brawler with the show's art style. Free adult swim games would be more fun than this.

I love how we now live in a time when games are nothing more than the same crappy flash games from a decade ago that are now being packaged and sold.
Packaged? Get with the times, grandad. Those crappy flash games you got bored of years ago are being sold back to you digitally.

I think the greatest disservice you can do to a comedy show is to create something that quotes the jokes of the show INFINITE TIMES.

Be it a game, a soundboard or a fan of the show.

This game reminds me of Beavis and Butthead but not in a good way.

I find it a little funny that when questioned GiantBomb will say that it gets to cover what it wants unlike other sites due in part to its limited size and resources, yet someone chose to devout time to this crappy game.   
 
Who decided that this obviously awful and licensed game deserved a Quick Look? 
 
Perhaps you guys need to select more carefully how to use your limited time and resources.

This game does a great disservice to the Ugly Americans name. Would've been better suited for Facebook.

"I saw 15 seconds of this show once....." -Jeff G.

I thought that was the funniest part of the quick look.

Why does Ugly Americans have an XBLA game & Futurama doesn't?

Why do we still live in an age where games have repetitive dialogue that loops, developers should at least know that players will grow quickly bored and tired of it.

Strange how they didn't apply this property to an adventure game. Seems the perfect fit.
C-teams can't make adventure games. Adventure games would require writers from the show and voice acting from the show where a shooter requires a free weekend to gather up soundclipsfrom the show taken out of context.
This, to the letter. If some TV show gets barely enough popularity to warrant a licensed game, you can bet your ass it's going to be a dual joystick shooter or an incredibly nondescript platformer, regardless of the show's subject or style, because those are easy to throw together and are just the same gameplay over and over, with little to no original writing.
 
Something like an adventure game takes so much more writing, forethought, and effort.

I actually like this show. It's weird that Jeff & Ryan don't seem to know about it; guess they don't watch Futurama on Com Central (since that's the lead-in for Ugly Americans). But I was never clamoring for the UA merchandise sh*t storm to begin, to be honest. And a twin stick shooter - especially a licensed one - is something I'm pretty sure I'll be avoiding.  I can totally understand being turned off by the art style though - that's totally fair. It is not a pretty show. Or even charmingly terrible (like South Park or Home Movies or something)
 
Now it's time to actually WATCH the video though - maybe this game is amazing?
