The first really hilarious moment came after the cold open when Randall showed Mark his reality show audition tape, which included a good amount of nudity from the zombie. The fact that the tape was originally used for a job interview at a bank just made the moment that much better (something tells me he did not get that job).
As soon as Randall g0t on the set of Night Terrors, which looked suspiciously like the Ghostbuster‘s firehouse, I knew they were going straight for Big Brother‘s jugular. The producers forced the housemates to drink copious amounts of vodka, at gunpoint if need be. I cheered a little when Night Terrors was canceled a few minutes into an episode — if only that could happen in this universe. But some of the jokes poking fun at Big Brother reminded me a little too much of the series finale of Extras, to be honest. When Mark gets chosen against his will by deranged TV producer Clark Dungaree to be the new subject of multiple bad reality shows, I couldn’t help thinking that I have seen this on many different cartoons in the last decade (The Fairly OddParents and South Park itself comes to mind).
What made the episode different was the producer’s change of heart … and his inevitable betrayal with the new show I’m Going to Fuck with You, Mark Lilly, premiering this fall on Spike! Topping this was the amazing Princess Bride reference: “I’m the 3rd Clark Dungaree. The real Clark Dungaree retired 15 years ago and is living like a king in Patagonia.”
The other storyline — Leonard assimilating a bridge troll to modern life — had some of the best lines in the show (“Real world lesson #1: Get yourself a pair of fake knees.” “Real world lesson #3: People. Are. Terrible.”). Ultimately, it was learning sweetheart Mark (voiced by Matt Oberg) has already picked Ethan and Desiree as the names of his future children that sold me on the episode. Here’s hoping for many more seasons of Ugly Americans so we can see if Ethan and Desiree will be the grandchildren of Satan (thanks to Mark’s demonic girlfriend Callie Maggotbone).
