Well, I for one didn't find this episode to be "predictable" or anything.
I think the jokes were fine, don't know why the second season of Ugly Americans is apparently seen as a "downgrade" in comparison with the previous one, since it had plenty of excellent moments.
Sure, the characterization of some characters is a bit more exaggerated, but not the point of them being unrecognizable from their selves from the previous seasons. The biggest change was giving a more childish personality to Twayne Boneraper (And he was established as manchild already in one episode from the first season, "Hell for Holidays", while "Sympathy for the Devil" showed he was an incompetent idiot who is terrible at being evil, so him being a childish moron in the second season is not such a big change)
Maybe there were too much "topical" stuff (But then again, topical stuff was already present in the "So, You Want to Be a Vampire?" episode from the first season, which mocked Twilight)
For some reason, the topical elements in Ugly Americans never bothered me: The use of 2010 celebrities is often filled with sarcasm rather than blind worship; it never turns into something like "Lisa Goes Gaga" (Despite Lady Gaga appearing here, as a zombie)
Maybe because the focus of the episodes aren't these topical celebrities. If anything, they are just an incidental element.
The bizarre yet relatable stories are still present here, just with the macabre element usual in this series.
It always will be a shame that Ugly Americans was cancelled after just 31 episodes, because it was one of the best shows Comedy Central ever produced. Too bad audiences didn't give it a chance back then.
The ending was hilarious.
