Camp Lazlo: Difference between revisions

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Chip and Skip.

* [[Animals Not to Scale]]

** To be fair, as a main character, he still [[Lampshade Hanging|complained about being a minor character]].

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: The guy-dresses-as-woman variant has happened to Lumpus a couple times. The first time, after leaving a restaurant without paying, he and Slinkman must sneak back in dressed as women. Sure enough, an employee falls for Lumpus even after he bangs on the men's room door, shouting in his normal voice for Lazlo to let him in. It was done hilariously later in the series, when Jane, the love of his life, was engaged to the most disgusting character on the series. Lumpus happens to be in a dress when he finally confesses his love for her...and everyone thinks he's a lady confessing her love for Jane's fiancé, who simply says, "Sorry, Jane, she's hot," and chases Lumpus.

* [[Canada, Eh?]]: The alien/cheese episode had excange campers from Canada.

* [[Cardboard Pal]]: In "The Weakest Link", Scoutmaster Lumpus creates fake scouts after all the scouts go missing on the day when Commander Hoo-Ha is due to make his inspection.

* [[Chew Toy]] (and [[Butt Monkey]]): Lumpus, which, as usual, is played entirely for laughs.

* [[Coincidental Accidental Disguise]]: At least twice, turning Raj into a yeti in "Marshmallow Jones" and Lumpus into a snipe in "The Great Snipe Hunt".

* [[Comically Small Bribe]]: In "The Tusk Wizard", Raj attempts to bribe Nurse Leslie into removing a perfectly healthy tusk by offering him a quarter.

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: No matter how many times they tell him, Lazlo just won't get it that HE's the Hugger.

** We can safely say that this show is pretty consistent. Other examples include when Raj and Clam flashback to when they first arrived at Camp Kidney with Lazlo, and splashing in the lake despite Raj not being able to swim (yet). In another, Samson and Raj try to argue over a hot spring, and when trying to embarrass the other with their gross secret, Edward and the other campers show the rash they got on their behinds from that same spring to get them to shut up. Few episodes later, he's trying to mail himself out and takes off his shirt for less weight. When he goes to collect more stamps, Samson covers his eyes and remarks that he's still got his rash.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Lumpus is riding atop his walking lawnchair the elves built him (don't ask). He has Santa, who is armed with naught but a tetherball, down on the ground (don't ask). Slinkman and the kids have failed in rescuing the jolly old elf and are lying in a heap. This looks like the end...'til Lumpus is hit by a meteor. There was mention of a meteor shower at the very beginning, but still.

* [[The Ditz]]: Chip and Skip. Because they're so dumb they run up to the speaker every time the camp announcements come on looking for the voice and also can't think at all. Their brains work to make them become geniuses when hung upside down but right side up, they're ditzs. This all happened in just in one episode too and they demonstrate this the rest of the time.

* [[Downer Ending]]: It looks like something's gone right for Lumpus, when it turns out that {{spoiler|he's just some looney who has the real Scoutmaster, an aged version of Heffer from ''Rocko's Modern Life'', locked up in a closet and is dragged off to a looney bin.}}

* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Commander Hoo-Ha

* [[Flushing Toilet, Screaming Shower]]: Slinkman deliberately does this to Lumpus in one episode.

* [[French Jerk]]: The swim instructors

* [[Furry Confusion]]/[[Carnivore Confusion]]: In one episode, Clam attempts to insult the Squirrel Scouts by calling them "animals". This results in awkward silence, because after all, they ''are'' animals.

** At the end of an episode with all the Bean Scouts partaking in meat hot dogs, Edward actually brings up the question of what the hot dogs are made of, to the revulsion of all.

{{quote|'''Edward''': So what? (Edward holds up one of the generic campers) This guy doesn't even have a ''name'', but you don't see ''him'' complaining!}}

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Clam. "Prodigous Clamus" is built entirely around this trope.

{{quote|"Edward, [[It Makes Sense in Context|There's a party in my pants, and you're invited.]]"}}

** Also, in the episode where their camp literally gets taken away.

* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: "Campers All Pull Pants" is about Edward attempting to pants everyone in Camp Kidney. Guess what just about every camper is wearing?

* [[Gosh Hornet]]: In "The Big Cheese", Scoutmaster Lumpus attempts to steal a cheese wheel by picking it up with his buttocks. Somehow he accidentally picks up a bee hive instead. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Slinkman is [[SpongeBob SquarePants]].

** Lazlo, Lumpus, and Edward are [[Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt]] respectively.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Irreconcilable Dungferences

* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]: Raj says "Well, I'm off to get some chutney" when he sneaks off to his secret hot spring.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: {{spoiler|Somehow, a moose and a Migrating Mulberry Tree can get married and have offspring.}}

** There's also the matter of Commander Hoo-Haa (a buffalo) who is somehow the father of {{spoiler|Patsy, a mongoose.}} We never see her mother, so it's a possibility.

* [[Loud of War]]: Raj and Samson trying to get each other to leave a secret hot spring by singing very loudly and ''very'' badly.

* [[Merit Badges for Everything]]: In one episode Scoutmaster Lumpus bemoans the failure of any of the Bean Scouts to achieve a single merit badge. Edward thens reveals that he has full set (having dishonestly bought them). We never find out a full list but it does include 'Motorcycle Maintenance'.

* [[Mistaken for Dying]]: Lumpus in "The Big Cheese".

* [[Mistaken for Pregnant]]: In episode "Ed's Benedict", Dave and Ping-Pong slip an egg into Edward's bed as a prank. For the rest of the episode, all the kids think he's expecting while Lumpus and Slinkman awkwardly try to explain the concept of pregnancy to them.

* [[Retro Universe]]: The setting was made to evoke the 1950's and 1960's

* [[Running Gag]]: Lumpus being unable to identify Clam's species.

* [[School Nurse]]: Nurse Leslie, a male Nurse Shark.

* [[Scout Out]]: The Bean Scouts and the Squirrel Scouts

* [[Spelling Song]]

{{quote|"L-A-Z-L-O! And Lazlo was his name-o!"}}

* [[Stuck on a Ski Lift]]: Happens to Lumpus in "Snow Beans".

* [[Sudden Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Lumpus was an insane kidnapper}}.
