Ugly Americans: Citizen Ugly
It might be a game to promote Comedy Central's new show, but the point-and-click adventure from ClickShake is a barrel of paranormal, devil-infused fun. Welcome to New York City, the traditional landing port for foreigners eager to build their own American dream. It is Mark's job, as an employee at the Department of Integration, to help these newcomers out with jobs and make sure they do not get deported because of some technicality. Such as losing their immigration papers or eating gray matter at the Brain Depository.

Okay... so this was cute.
Some things were a little hard to see... making some of the experience very painful, but the sense of humor was satisfying. Not necessarily family friendly, since apparently we care about that here.
Ugly Americans Walkthrough:
Let's start with the basics.
Read the instructions. Click on stuff.
The one tricky bit with the mechanics of the game will be combining stuff.
To combine items, place the two items destined for each other in the boxes next to the plus sign, then click the plus sign. If they represent a valid combination, then you will receive the product of the two items' love. If not, you receive a quip.
Moving on. First stop: Mark's Apartment.
So a romance that resembles Alternating Current. So sweet.
You're handcuffed to your bed. What now?
We need to make the room smell like brains. Here's how:
There's a small pink blot on the top rail of the bed near Mark. Click it. It's chewed gum.
Then click the red sock.
Combine the two items, then use the Sticky Whip to get the soccer ball.
Chuck that ball across the room at the take out brains.
Your zombie roommate Randall, shows up, releases you, and now you're free to go to work. Excellent.
Alright. Good work. Next stop: the Department of Integration.
Here's where the game really begins.
This is where you work.
Go through the front doors.
Once you're in the hallway, enter the door closest to you. It's your office.
Now enjoy your cinematic.
Done? Good. You've gotten your clipboard now. And we have a new location. We'll pay a visit to each case before we move on to the next one. But we're not going to manage to solve each one as we get to it. That comes later.
Click on the map button on the bottom right.
Now go to Star Buk's.
Click on the two headed guy.
Now we've got a broken part. Show it to the guy on the right.
Now we need a giant ear swab. Keep this in mind.
Click on the Cases button on the bottom right, and click Next Case.
Then bring up the map and go to St. Jude's.
Click on the Croatian Man and get the list of things we need.
Caffeinated Formaldehyde
Pronged Utensil
Alcohol Soaked Rag
We'll deal with that later. Click on the cotton balls between Mark and the Croatian Man.
Bring up the next case on your clipboard.
Bring up the map and go to the M.B.D.
Click on the zombie.
We need a wand to hypnotize him. Your office mate was a wizard, and there was a wand on his desk, if you were paying attention.
We won't be able to get it for a while, so we won't bother trying right now.
If you DO want to find out what the deal is with the wand, go ahead and go back.
You ask for the wand, and your office mate asks for some Ducky Cheese prize tickets.
Won't get those for a while.
Click on the jar on the table.
Bring up the next case, then bring up the map and go to the Luxury Apt.
Click on the brain.
Click on the broken broom.
Click on the television set.
Now bring up the map and go to Hell.
Click on the vampire bat.
Click on the front door of Bloody Mary's.
Click on the arrow labeled "Alley" on the bottom right.
Click on the paper on the door.
Bring up the map and go to the Orphanage.
Click on the cookie in front of the cage.
Note the sign on the cage. This is what we want. But we'll have to come back for it. This is as far as we go for this case.
Bring up the next case, then bring up the map and go to the Blood Bank.
Click on the Goth Kid.
Now we've got some B Blood and some objectives. It's never easy.
Bring up the next case, then go to Ducky Cheese.
Click on the Rag Doll next to the car ride.
Click on the robot.
Now we've got a flyer and an objective.
Bring up the next case, then go to the Public Pool.
Click on one of the two... odd gentlemen. It doesn't matter.
So we need Trust Pamphlets. We'll be able to handle this a little later.
Bring up the next case, then go to Chelsea Pier.
Click on the Squid.
We now have a Wallet, a new location and some stuff to do.
Go to the Sub Club.
Give the bartender the wallet.
Go to Sak's.
Click on the sandwich sign guy. We'll go to Vito's in a bit.
Enter the building.
Give the saleswoman the wallet.
Go to the Girl's Apt.
Click on the door.
Give her the wallet.
Now we need to get a Silk Scarf. We'll handle that later.
Let's finish a few cases right now!
Go to Vito's.
Click on the breadsticks on the table.
Give the old man the Vito's Flyer.
Combine the cookie and the garlic soup, then go to the Blood Bank.
Give the Goth Kid the Garlic Cookie.
Talk to the Goth Kid.
Go to the Processing Center.
Talk to the Goth Kid.
Case Complete! Congratulations!
Click on the corks on the floor.
And now I have to apologize. I forgot about this before. But we can handle it now!
Combine the broken handle and the cotton ball.
Go to Star Buk's.
Give the guy on the right the Cotton Swab.
Go to the Dark Alley.
Go back to Star Buk's.
Give the two headed guy the New Part.
Case Complete! Congratulations!
Okay, since there's no other cases we can actually complete right now, we'll just continue exploring.
Bring up the next case, and go... Hmm...
Go to the D.O.I.
Go inside.
Second door on the left. Click it.
Click on the rack.
Click on the blue pamphlet that labeled "Trust Me!"
Click on the Cocoon Friendly Environment pamphlet.
We'll handle the fish and hook case before we move on.
Go to the Public Pool.
Give the men the Trust Pamphlet.
Give the hook man the corks.
Case Complete! Congratulations!
Okay. Go to Taco Skull.
Click on the caterpillar.
That's as far as we go now.
Bring up the next case. Go to the Sweatshop.
Click on the red thread on the table on the right.
Click on the chickenman.
That's as far as we go now. And now we've seen all the cases.
Let's work on some other cases.
Go to the Dark Alley.
Give the man the Toy Flyer.
Give the man the sewing bobbin.
Go to Ducky Cheese.
Give the robot the Lil' Darla Vomitface (or whatever it's called that you got from the guy in the Dark Alley).

Combine the Eyeballs and the Eye Repair Kit.
Go back to the M.B.D.
Give the zombie the New Eyes.
Use the wand on the zombie.

Ahh nevermind. For Canadians, the game is linked here. Had to search for it:
http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/games/gamedetails.aspx?gid=25010
I liked the game... No impossibly hard puzzles, just a bit of running around to get everything. I occasionally missed an item to pick up on my initial run-through (actually, it only really happened once), but that was easily remedied with the Tab button. Plus, it introduces the characters that will presumably appear in the TV show...
Hi, I'm in Australia and I am able to play this game on the Comedy Central website. Is it perhaps restricted to countries which receive Comedy Central?
I'm a civil servant and this game just gave me that little extra frisson of recognition. Our budget's been slashed, our caseload's been doubled, and...
I think I have found a bug.
I solved the chicken case, but I didn't get the red thread from the sweatshop, and now the case is solved it has disappeared from the map.
so I have nothing to give the guy in the dark alley in exchange for the toy apart from some ware wolf hair (which he doesn't want)
so what can i do?? :(
@karen - if I remember correctly you can find the spare change by
solving the case of fishman and hookman.
@the guest who's having trouble with the pamphlets
Have you tried exploring all 10 cases first?
@Paul - You have to be exact when you
use the soccer ball on the take out brains on the dresser on the right side of the screen. Wait for your pointer to become a finger or something indicating a clickable object.
@the guest with a bug
Wow... um... I don't know what to tell you.
I mean... I don't even remember being able to
unplug the moon lamp
without finishing all ten cases first.
Uh, start over? Remember the thread this time?
Thanks for the review James. FYI, the dialogue was from the show's actual voice actors.
@Username - We made sure every object had a minimum clickable area b/c we hate pixel hunting too!
As far as locations disappearing before gaining the items from them, I checked both mentioned cases and the code does check to make sure those items were obtained before the location is removed so I'm not sure what happened there. If you experience this you may have to clear your saved game and make sure to grab the items before leaving next time.
I am totally stuck!
I am trying to complete
Croatian Man,The Great Brain, Goth Kid, Fishhookman and Fishman, Billy the Squid, Caterpillar Man and Chicken Man.
I have
Luxury Apartment, Public Pool, St.Jude's, Hell, Dwayne Reede, Taco Skull, Chelsea Pier, Orphanage, D.O.I, Sub Club, Sweatshop and Blood Bank
left.
I have these items:
Cookie, Walletand B Blood.
What do I do? I can't find any more items. If there is something i'm missing will someone please tell me what and where it is. Thanks
Jay- The game is no longer available at this link. I did find it on a different site after I googled: http://www.clickshakegames.com/games/ugly-americans-citizen-ugly.php
