1 | '''Basic Trope''': A camping holiday [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] for any of a number of reasons. |
2 | * '''Straight''': |
3 | ** Alice and Bob go on a camping holiday and get CabinFever. |
4 | ** Clare and Dave are on a camping trip, but find themselves in a RainRainGoAway situation. |
5 | ** Emma and Frank have gone to the campsite for the weekend, but can't light a fire. |
6 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
7 | ** Either those on the holiday end up dead for some reason, or a disaster leads to the entire campsite being destroyed. |
8 | ** Campers cannot light a fire [[EpicFail while it is]] ''[[HowUnscientific raining]]''. |
9 | ** A CampingEpisode in the series ends with everyone dead and the world destroyed. |
10 | ** DontGoInTheWoods |
11 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice, Bob, Clare, Dave, Emma or Frank get homesick on the camping holiday. |
12 | * '''Justified''': |
13 | ** It's their first time camping, and they do not know how to do this correctly. This one ties in with the 'cannot light a fire' scenario. |
14 | ** Alternatively, misfortune follows the campers everywhere they go. |
15 | * '''Inverted''': The camping trip goes so well the campers decide to live on the campsite full time. |
16 | * '''Subverted''': Alice, Bob, Clare, Dave, Emma and[=/=]or Frank imagines that the trip will go wrong, but it does not. |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...Until something happens and the trip is judged to have gone wrong. |
18 | * '''Parodied''': The ruined holiday was staged, but things happened that [[GoneHorriblyRight genuinely did not go their way]]. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Things go wrong one day, and things go right the next. |
20 | * '''Averted''': The camping trip goes very well. |
21 | * '''Enforced''': It's a camping comedy, things have to go wrong. |
22 | * '''Lampshaded''': "God, this makes me think I do not want to go camping again!" |
23 | * '''Invoked''': The campers have an enemy (let's say he or she is their main enemy) who appears in dramatic fashion and ruins the holiday. |
24 | * '''Exploited''': The ruined holiday was staged as a fraud. |
25 | * '''Defied''': A camping trip is considered, but not embarked on because the holidaymakers think things will go wrong. |
26 | * '''Discussed''': "How come disaster follows us on our camping holidays?" |
27 | * '''Conversed''': "I hear Alice and Bob's last camping trip was a nightmare." |
28 | * '''Played For Laughs''': |
29 | ** Alice, Bob, Clare, Dave, Emma and Frank all suffer a tremendous HumiliationConga during their holiday camping trip. |
30 | ** The things that made the horrible camping trip "horrible" are FauxHorrific or absurdist like camping next to a retreat [[EveryoneHatesMimes for mimes]], accidentally buying tofu hot dogs, or the only tabletop game they brought with them being Parcheesi. |
31 | * '''Played For Drama''': Half of the campgoers are infected with dysentery, and the other half gets broken bones, are mauled by a dog, are fired from their job because [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity their boss really got pissed that they took a weekend off]] and damage their car suspension bad enough that the price tag screws their credit rate. |
32 | * '''Played For Horror''': The campgoers' HumiliationConga is the opening "comedy" part of a DontGoInTheWoods HillbillyHorrors film. Things [[CerebusSyndrome become very dark very fast]] in the middle act. |
