10	* BannedInChina: Due to Cartoon Network UK's feed not liking episodes where [[PottyEmergency potty emergencies]] are the main plot for some reason, "Hold It, Lazlo" rarely aired in the UK.
11	* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In a case of corporate EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, an early press release for the show (and the Cartoon Network website) described Edward as a stickler for the rules rather than TheBully who tries to break them.
12	* CreatorBreakdown: Shortly after the show's first season, Joe Murray's second wife divorced him. [[HistoryRepeats As was the case when his first wife had committed suicide during production on]] ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', Murray started drifting away from the show's production until he left completely, angry that his involvement in a TV show had ruined his love life once again.
13	* CreatorsFavorite:
14	** Joe Murray said on his website (before it was updated) that his favorite characters were Edward and Lumpus due to how fun they were to write.

16	* DawsonCasting: The campers range from kid age to teenagers, yet are voiced by adult actors.

19	* KidsMealToy: In 2007, UsefulNotes/McDonalds sold a set of eight toys based on this series, ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', and ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'', with each franchise having two characters. The ''Camp Lazlo'' toys were a plush pencil topper of Lazlo and a plastic pencil topper of Raj in a pencil holder shaped like a canoe.
20	* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: The series was originally planned as a children's storybook.
21	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/JodiBenson's roles here are far sillier than [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 her usual ones]].
22	* ProductionPosse: Many alumni from Murray's previous show, ''Rocko's Modern Life'', worked on this show. Several of them were also alumni of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', a show created by former ''Rocko'' director Stephen Hillenberg.
23	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: [[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/11/inside-rockos-modern-life-nickelodeon-cartoon According to Joe Murray]], Cartoon Network cancelled the series not long after he refused to appear in a [=McDonald's=] commercial.
24	* ThrowItIn: [[WordOfGod According to Murray]], the entire ending of "Lumpus' Last Stand" (wherein [[spoiler: Lumpus is revealed to be the fake scoutmaster, playing impostor to Heffer, who he locked up, and is thrown into the insane asylum]]) was thought up by Tom Kenny during a recording session. Joe Murray decided to use it because "It tied up his character well."
25	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
26	** The show was originally going to be named Three Beans.
27	** The first press release (that was later copied word for word to the Cartoon Network website's character sheet) lists character traits that didn’t really shake out once the show started. Namely, describing Edward as a stickler for the rules when in the show he was a bully who enjoyed breaking them; and describing Gretchen as being eager to eat anyone around her, when in the show while she’s aggressive she never tries to eat anyone.
28	** Lazlo was going to have a Brazilian accent, but ExecutiveMeddling told Joe Murray that he could only have one so he chose Raj's. WordOfGod says that Lazlo's parents are from Brazil though, but Lazlo was born in America.
29	** Chef [=McMuesli=] was initially planned as the camp deacon. ExecutiveMeddling forced Joe Murray to remove the religious themes.
30	** Scoutmaster Lumpus was originally envisioned as a horse named Leonard, but Joe Murray decided to make him a moose instead as he felt it would fit the setting better.
31	** There were [[https://web.archive.org/web/20051018102308/https://kazunderworld.com plans]] for a Thanksgiving special during the second season, but it never got produced.
32	** "Parasitic Pal" was planned to be the one of the first episodes broadcast and indeed it was the first episode in production order, but Cartoon Network believed that Lazlo should be established as a character "without a leech stuck to his head".
33	** Creator/JeffBennett [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-TNueUac6k&list=PLEF3gDf-1EQRBaAor-PPMylO2HHaeVn0H&index=3 revealed]] that Raj initially was supposed to have a lisp, but the creators thought the voice worked better without it.
