Anybody else think that Rusty calling Hatred an 'ugly american' is a reference to the show Ugly Americans, since Larry Murphy was a guest voice in this episode and was a regular on Ugly Americans? Am I reading into it too much?

No, I thought that was an intentional reference, too. And a fairly clever one!

I don't think so. 'Ugly American' is a term that's used to denote Americans behaving poorly abroad (ignorant, ethnocentric, loud, etc). The show Ugly Americans is simply a play on that term where the Americans are literally ugly.

It could be a two-fer. In that you're both right.

Yeah, in that it means the literal 'ugly american', while being phrased in that way as a reference to the show. Plus, some of the 'americans' in that show (Larry Murphy's character included) act very ugly towards the people/creatures trying to become full legal citizens.
