* HairTriggerTemper: Even trivial events can send Chet into a violent rage, seemingly as a side-effect of steroid abuse.

* HospitalHottie: Rita is the camp doctor, and she's rather attractive too.

** Chet is very bitter at being removed from a US Olympics team due to failing a drug test, and goes to Camp Redwood to get away from the constant Olympics coverage.

* PornStache: Trevor has one, contributing to his overall sleazy vibe.
* PrettyBoy: Xavier wears a feathered haircut, earrings, and purple-pink clothing in his character teasers. He is ostensibly an actor, although given that he's working at Camp Redwood, he does not appear to be very successful at it.

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: John Carroll Lynch's character wears one in his teaser.

* ICouldaBeenAContender: Trevor had a shot at stardom in one of Jane Fonda's workout videos, but was fired because his [[GagPenis obvious asset]] was drawing attention away from her.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: According to the character teasers, pretty much everybody does in this season — ''especially'' the men.

** The setting itself, Camp Redwood, follows in the tradition of Camp Silver Lake from ''Film/{{Friday the 13th|1980}}'' and Camp Arawak from ''Film/SleepawayCamp''.

* ICouldaBeenAContender: Trevor had a shot at stardom as a lead dancer in one of Madonna's music videos, but was fired because his [[GagPenis obvious asset]] was drawing attention away from her.

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: John Caroll Lynch's character wears one in his teaser.
