[[caption-width:374:L-A-Z-L-O! L-A-Z-L-O! L-A-Z-L-O! And Lazlo is his name-o!]]
''Camp Lazlo'' is an Emmy-nominated CartoonNetwork show from 2005 to 2008 from the creator of ''RockosModernLife''. It is about the adventures of Lazlo, a spider-monkey; Raj, an elephant, and Clam, a rhino, along with other campers on the summer camp of Camp Kidney for scout-like campers The Bean Scouts under the direction of Scoutsmaster Lumpus and his second-in-command, Mr. Slinkman.

To Scoutsmaster Lupus' dismay, Lazlo's search for adventure around the camp and obliviousness to danger makes him uncontrollable.

!!The show provides examples of:
* AscendedExtra: Samson started off as just a background character in the first season, until one writer decided to develop the character and add him to the regular cast.
** To be fair, as a main character, he still [[LampshadeHanging complained about being a minor character]].
* AttractiveBentGender: 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.
* BerserkBoardBarricade: Subverted where the Bean Scouts barricade the door of their cabin to keep the Squirrel Scouts out. In order to get the wood for the barricade, they completely dismantle the back wall of their cabin.
* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: Scoutmaster Lumpus is a member of one of these, the Legume Council.
* ChewToy (and ButtMonkey): Lumpus, which, as usual, is played entirely for laughs.
* ContinuityNod: On the episode "Hello Dolly", Edward has a Barbie-esque doll named Veronica, who makes cameos later on "No Place Like Gnome" and "Beans in Toyland". On another episode, the campers start the Camp Kidney radio station back up, and Lazlo is shown in the station at the start of the episode "Samson Needs a Hug".
* CrazyAwesome: Clam. It's like TheAce and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} combined. When Clam attempts anything, it tends to be very weird, but always successful. He does not swim. He walks on water.
* DeusExMachina: 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.
* TheDitz: Clam
** Could be a {{Cloud Cuckoolander}}, or neither, since he's sometimes shown to be extremely aware of the situation.
* DoorstopBaby: Chip and Skip did this to themselves to get Jane, the scoutmistress of the girls' camp, to adopt them. Jane assumed Lumpus did it to get out of taking care of them, and was less than pleased with him.
* DownerEnding: 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. This troper actually complained to the creator that it was a low note for a finale, so he told her that Jane bailed Lumpus out and they lived Happily Ever After in Acorn Flats...but still...]]
* FrenchJerk: The swim instructors
* FurryConfusion: 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.
*** Interestingly, no one bats an eyelash at Lumpus (a ''moose'') and his love of meat, except when he attempted to eat a bird that was still alive. Hmmmm.
** Everyone freaks when Lazlo brings a bear into camp, despite the fact that one of the campers is a bear. This is never addressed.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Being made by the same people behind ''Rocko's Modern Life'', naturally this show has more than its fair share of radar evasion. A personal favourite comes from an episode where the three main characters make hot dogs for their camp-mates, with Raj in charge of making the hot dog buns.
* GrandFinale
* HeyItsThatVoice
* HoYay: Irreconcilable Dungferences
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: Somehow, a moose and a Migrating Mulberry Tree can get married and have offspring.]]
** Wait. Wouldn't that mean [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Lumpus is currently in polygamy?]]
* ItIsAlwaysSpring: it's always summer. Makes sense, since they're at summer camp, right? Except it's still summer, and they're still at camp on Valentine's Day. Most of the ChristmasEpisode took place in July, for crying out loud.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Ms. Doe, the scoutmaster for the Squirrel Scouts.
* NightmareFuel: Meatman... just Meatman.
* OnlySaneMan: Mr. Slinkman.
* RalphWiggum: Chip and Skip. Because they're so dumb they run up to the speaker everytime the camp anouncements 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 Ralph Wiggums. This all happened in just in one episode too and they demonstrate this the lest of the time.
* UnusualEuphemism: In one episode, an air conditioner falls from the sky during a heat wave. They ascribe its arrival to "The Great Scoutmaster in the Sky".
** Brought up in another episode wherein they refer to this "Scoutmaster in the Sky" as "Smits"
* ShoutOut: In "Tree Hugger", there's a point where they're using [[SpongebobSquarepants The Flying Dutchman's]] {{Leitmotif}}, I swear.
* ScoutOut: The Bean Scouts and the Squirrel Scouts
* RetroUniverse: The setting was made to evoke the 1950's and 1960's
* UltimateJobSecurity: Bean Scoutmaster Algonquin C. Lumpus from ''{{Camp Lazlo}}'', who is generally extremely incompetent and apathetic, and doesn't even ''like'' being a Scoutmaster. [[spoiler: At least until the GrandFinale, where he's finally removed... because it turns out he was never actually the Scoutmaster -- he'd actually locked the previous Scoutmaster in a closet and stolen his job; TheReveal here gets him imprisoned as a dangerous lunatic.]]
* WalkOnWater: Clam, as a oneshot joke in the swimming episode
* WideEyedIdealist: Lazlo.
