History Fridge / CampCamp

* Look closely at all of the Camp Campbell campers--every one of their outfits contains the color yellow. From the episode "Campboree," we find out that David's neckerchief is actually an old ''yellow'' Camp Campbell camp shirt. In the same scene, we see photos of David's time as a camper--all of the campers wore the same yellow camp t-shirts. It's heartwarming to see that, despite the fact that the new campers don't work together as a team unit, they all still belong at Camp Camp.

* In the Christmas episode, Max claims that he's expecting "a fidget spinner at best" as his gift. Might be a case of WereStillRelevantDammit...but if you think about it, it actually makes some amount of sense. Max's parents have been established as being [[ParentalNeglect neglectful towards him]], so they probably wouldn't bother to put a lot of thought into getting presents for him beyond "whatever's popular with kids these days"...which, in this case, would be a fidget spinner. Not to mention a fidget spinner would be pretty inexpensive so they wouldn't have to put much money into the "gift" either, something [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parents]] would appreciate.

* Some commenters have pointed out that camping requires a lot of equipment, so David's exceptional skill in survival with almost nothing couldn't have just come from camping. Given that David got lost in the woods as a child, and his best friend almost died several times, it would be natural that David learned a lot of extra survival, just in case he got lost again--[[AdultFear or one of the kids]].

** Or it's possible that this was the first year Max wasn't signed up for anything; previous years could have had his parents sign him up for one camp or another to try to get him to "make something of himself", never being patient enough for Max to actually make any real progress and never paying attention to what he actually wanted (whatever it was), and this year, they finally gave up completely on him and told him, to his face, that he was totally worthless to them and the only reason they were sending him to camp was to get him out of their hair. Given what we know...[[TearJerker it's all too plausible...]]

* I know it's for story purposes but why exactly has Max made it this far without learning how to swim? It seems unlikely that "Swim Camp" was never a thing given the "and more!" part of Camp Campbell's advertising and even if that was true, Swim Day would be an easy and cheap activity to have the campers do if other plans fell through or it was a free day.

* Meta example: Towards the end of "The Lake Lilac Summer Special," we see Jermy Fartz tasting food out of the Platypus's bowl. It makes sense that the ever-gross Jermy would do something so [[Squick disgusting]]; however, the fridge kicks in when you realize that Jermy is voiced by Jordan Cwierz; the same actor who provides the Platypus's "muack" sound effects.

* What would have happened if the Flower Scouts won Camporee? Did the Wood Scouts have to be 1st place in order to take over Camp Campbell, or would 2nd place have sufficed if Camp Campbell got last?

** Max says it himself in the episode: by resorting to sneaky, underhanded means to keep Campbell falling back on old habits, he not only shows that Campbell hasn't changed, but that ''he himself'' hasn't changed - two birds with one stone. He focuses on Campbell because it was the argument on whether or not he could change that led to everyone talking about how Max had changed. Max is ten, he's not thinking about whether or not his "evidence" would stand up to scientific scrutiny.

* At the beginning of ''Nikki's Last Day on Earth'', Neil tries to make a potion that will lower his voice to sound more commanding and successfully tests it on the platypus, but when he discovers that Nikki also drank it everyone fears it poisoned her. The end of the episode reveals that the symptoms she was experiencing was nothing but menstruation and the potion apparently had no effect on her. However, it's pretty coincidental that she happened to start her period after drinking it. Unless Neil accidentally created a chemical that made her hormones skyrocketed and jumpstarted her puberty.

* Some commenters have noted that camping is not the same as pure survival, because camping still depends on store-bought supplies, making David's feats all the more impressive. Given that he'd been lost in the woods as a child, he'd brush up heavily on raw survival in case it happens to him again. [[AdultFear Or worse, him and another kid]].

* There were many people directly and tangentially responsible for [[spoiler: Campbell's arrest]], so why did [[spoiler: Campbell]] swear vengeance on only [[spoiler: David]]? Because [[spoiler: Campbell can never remember anyone's name, and David is one of the few people whose name he can consistently get right!]]

* At the beginning of ''Nikki's Last Day on Earth'', Neil tries to make a potion that will lower his voice to sound more commanding and successfully tests it on the platypus, but when he discovers that Nikki also drank it everyone fears it poisoned her. [[spoiler: The end of the episode reveals that the symptoms she was experiencing was nothing but menstruation and the potion apparently had no effect on her.]] However, [[spoiler: it's pretty coincidental that she happened to start her period after drinking it. Unless Neil accidentally created a chemical that made her hormones sky-rocket and jumpstarted her puberty.]]
** Beyond that, the potion was supposed to lower the voices of whoever drinks it- specifically so they wouldn't be bullied for their shrill tones. [[spoiler: That is, another effect of puberty, albeit mostly in males. It's possible that Neil's potion had the effect of jumpstarting the puberty of whoever drinks it- which would result in the intended effect.]]
* At the start of ''Dial M for Jasper'', David sees Jasper's ghost and is nervous and frightened all morning. It doesn't help that Nikki says she's hungry enough to die, and Max says he looks like he's seen a ghost. At the end, it's revealed that David [[spoiler: never knew that Jasper died]]. Max's line about ghosts would upset him, but Nikki's line about death seems less relevant. Except in the previous episode, Nikki almost died. He's still scared for her.

* The first step of Max's plan to [[spoiler: save Camp Campbell]] by wreaking havoc is to pick Harrison up from Magic Camp. It's not just because Harrison can cause a lot of destruction with his magic, it's because he can cause a lot of ''untraceable'' destruction with his magic. He doesn't need any equipment to start fires, so he can't be searched. The only eyewitnesses are kids, who are infamous for CassandraTruth. And as a stage magician, he knows enough sleight of hand to not get caught.
* The kids by the end of Season 3 are close enough to [[spoiler:ditch their specialized camps, ones they've been yearning for the entire summer, in favor of Camp Campbell]]. It's not just because [[YouAreWorthHell it's not an underfunded hellhole if your friends are there]]; they're close ''because'' it's an underfunded hellhole. The poor schedule and busy counselors leave the kids on their own for large periods of time without any entertainment but each other. Neil teaches science camp and Harrison puts on a magic show to entertain the others.

* In "Arrival of the Torso Takers" David does not blink once [[spoiler: until the real David is found. Who else doesn't blink on the show?]]

* In "Arrival of the Torso Takers", [[spoiler: David gets into a pretty harmless and ridiculous slap fight with Daniel after the latter goes after Max. BadassDecay from when he beat up his replacement as Bonquisha's boyfriend? Actually no. When he beat up Jacob, Max was clearly shocked by this which David might have interpreted in retrospect as Max being scared by said beating. So since Max was present when he attacked Daniel, David consciously chose something less intimidating to ward off the cultist so Max wouldn't be any more distressed by the situation.]]
* Given [[ParentalNeglect what is implied so far about Max's parents]], it makes perfect sense that even at ten years old [[spoiler: he doesn't know how to swim. It's very unlikely his parents would have bothered to teach him themselves, or to to shell out money for lessons (unless, of course, they could foist him off on a camp for a few months).]]

* Given [[ParentalNeglect what is implied so far about Max's parents]], it makes perfect sense that even at ten years old [[spoiler: he doesn't know how to swim. It's very unlikely his parents would have bothered to teach him themselves, and certainly weren't going to shell out money for lessons (unless, of course, they could foist him off on a camp for a few months).]]

He focuses on Campbell because it was the argument on whether or not he could change that led to everyone talking about how Max had changed. Max is ten, he's not thinking about whether or not his "evidence" could be scientifically backed up.

* So, Max is trying to prove that people can't change by using Cameron Campbell as an example (mostly because Max doesn't want to admit that he himself has changed for the better). Except, how is showing that just the one person is still terrible going to prove his point? Even is Max is right, Campbell would probably be the exception and not the rule.
