* AmbiguousSituation: It's not made clear ''what'' is going on with the local who accosts the friends for money, and if he's a small-time gangster, an extremely bad ConMan, or just a man in desperate need of cash. The ambiguity makes the situation even more uncomfortable.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The ultimate gag of the episode once it becomes clear that Pim hasn't booked accommodations. Rather than going on a wacky escapade trying to find a place to stay, the Smiling Friends instead mutually agree that the most cost-effective move would be to just take the next flight home and try to be more organized in planning their next vacation.

How does mentioning Christ the Redeemer reference that meme?

* ForeShadowing: Alan’s vote at the beginning of the episode to “see the big Jesus”. While ''Christ the Redeemer'' is a popular tourist attraction and would be a reasonable first stop on any Brazil vacation, knowing the show’s sense of humor, it’s also more than likely a reference to [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/002/365/170/2e2.jpg this meme]], which perfectly describes what ultimately happens in the episode.
