History WebVideo / Baywatching

* OscarBait: It's often noted that many of the show's {{Very Special Episode}}s were blatant attempts to net an UsefulNotes/EmmyAward. Allison takes great pleasure in pointing out that it never worked. They were never even nominated.

* CatchPhrase: Most of the characters have one or more.

* TheCameo: Eddie shows up a few times (in Baywatching, not Baywatch) after he's PutOnABus:
** When introducing the episode "Life Guards Can't Jump", an episode trying to appeal to black audiences, she mockingly says it focuses on Eddie:
--->'''Eddie!Baywatching:''' I'm back and whiter than ever!
** He crops up for a second when she points out that the show's out of date 80's stock footage has a shot of Eddie.
** After it's revealed that he and Eyebrows are pen pals and that Eyebrows bought Eddie's houseboat, he pops up to talk with Eyebrows...and Shaunie dumps him for selling their house without telling him.
--->'''Eddie!Baywatching:''' Shaunieee-- ''(gets interrupted by a Kangaroo kicking him)''

** Hobie's actor being replaced between season 1 and 2 leads to a running subplot in Allison's recap version of events wherein the original Hobie in fact died and the new one, Hobie 2, is a clone. (And if he acts up, [[CloningBlues Hobie 3]] [[DeathIsCheap is waiting in his pod]].)

-->'''Eyebrows (with an exaggerated French accent):''' Stupid creative dad with your people-watching. I am suddenly French, sacre-bleu!

** "I'm Grif!"

** Donna: "I'm a professional life-saving individual!" and "Lalalalala...".

** Gives another one in slow-motion in "Freefall" during the creepy ImagineSpot where the teenage Hobbie is applying sunscream to an adult woman.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: Alison speculates that "Showdown at Malibu High" is one for an attempted spinoff set at the titular school since it randomly introduces a bunch of new high school characters who never appear again and CJ is revealed to work at the school as their teacher, which is also never mentioned again afterwards.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Members Only Jacket [=McCoolKid=]

* BadBadActing: Jimmy Slade. And yet Allison's version of him somehow takes Kelly Slater's awful acting UpToEleven. (At least in the voice department. Given she's a voiceover, she can't attempt to replicate or top the fact that even ''walking'' seems to be a challenge to Slater's acting skills.)

** Guido who's [[UpToEleven WORSE THAN HARVEY,]] and who Allison claims to be the series' worst character. Like Harvey, he spends most of his time hitting on women and coming up with asshole schemes, with the added bonus of being an obnoxious stereotype who constantly mugs for the camera. Guido was so bad that even the show seemed to realize they'd made a mistake with him; they brought his mother into the show to stay with him at the end of one season and then neither character was seen again. Allison celebrates his last appearance.

* CharacterExaggeration: [[CharacterExaggeration/{{Baywatching}} Barely character is safe from this]], from Mitch eating a {{hammerspace}} burger whenever he gets the chance, to Stephanie becoming a smug StrawFeminist. The only people that somewhat get away with it are Garner and Newmie, who are [[MemeticBadass too cool]]. Luckily for Allison, ValuesDissonance has turned a lot of the MrFanservice leads' advances into horrifying, through a modern lens, so it was easy to turn {{chick magnet}}s like Harvey and Eddie into whiny, self-centered sexual harassers.

* {{Flanderization}}: Allison's original voice for Eyebrows was a kind of preppy surfer with no French accent, but a conversation between Eyebrows and his French mother led to Allison playing up Eyebrows' Frenchiness.

* {{Flanderization}}: Allison's original voice for Eyebrows was a kind of laid-back stoner/surfer type with no French accent, but a conversation between Eyebrows and his mother led to Allison playing up Eyebrows' Frenchiness.
