After making a misguided bet with the Wood Scouts, everyone at Camp Campbell is forced to be nice for a whole day. If that wasn't difficult enough, a new camper has just shown up and he's... a mess.
Tropes:
- Bait-and-Switch: Max spends the episode in physical agony at not being allowed to insult people, but David ends up being the one to insult Jermy.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: Jermy apparently used to practice kissing with his dog. Even the dog wasn't into it.
- Briar Patching: The campers pretend Jermy is the best camper so the Wood Scouts will take him back to their camp.
- Butt-Monkey: Jermy, even more than Space Kid. Nothing he does ends well.
- Cringe Comedy: The entire episode. Jermy is the most repulsive kid alive, and thanks to a bet with the Wood Scouts, the campers can't say a single thing about it.
- Curse Cut Short: After Jermy makes a costume out of a bundle of sticks, Max nearly calls Jermy a...word that technically means "bundle of sticks", but which is more typically a slur, resulting in everyone dog-piling him so they don't lose the bet. At the end of the episode Nikki realizes what he was going to say and begins to say it as well, but is cut off by the credits.
- Discriminate and Switch: A rare case where the subject of the discrimination is the only one who doesn't believe he's being discriminated against. Gwen assumes that Jermy has special needs, and scolds the other campers for making fun of him. Jermy himself interrupts to say that, despite appearances, he is developmentally normal.
- Everyone Has Standards: Neil genuinely tries to befriend Jermy, knowing what it's like to be seen as the weird, unpopular kid by his peers. However, Jermy is so epically repulsive and "out there" (as in, he quickly goes into deep detail about how he used to practice kissing with his dog) that Neil simply gives up trying.
- Gasshole: Jermy, of course. He fries Space Kid at one point by bending over in front of a bunsen burner.
- Gonk: Jermy is phenomenally unattractive.
- Irony: The campers fail to be nice for a whole day, and so must lose their best camper to the Wood Scouts. So the campers all praise Jermy Fartz until the Wood Scouts decide to take him off their hands. In other words, they solved their problems by being nice.
- It's All About Me: The terms of the bet are that the Wood Scouts will take Camp Campbell's best camper if they win, which Max assumes means him. Even his friends are skeptical that Max could be considered Camp Campbell's best anything.
- Last-Second Word Swap: A few of these happen as campers and counselors start to insult someone, only to realize they're being observed.
- Meaningless Villain Victory: The Campbell campers lose the bet, but with some fast talk the Wood Scouts are convinced into taking Jermy.
- Pronouncing My Name for You: It's not Jeremy, it's Jermy, and evidently it's a family name. He says he doesn't like it, but corrects any mispronunciation.
- Self-Deprecation: Despite a fairly chipper attitude, Jermy is well aware of how gross he seems to others, and even tries to caution the Wood Scouts against taking him as a camper.
- Too Much Information: He wouldn't be Jermy Fartz if he could keep his disgusting medical problems to himself.
