History WebVideo / Baywatching

** Corey, who is just phenomenally stupid

** Eddie Krramer, a whiny useless manchild who can't go two seconds without getting injured, asking someone to adopt him, or being creepily possessive of his girlfriend

* {{Flanderization}}: Allison's original voice for Eyebrows possessed no French accent, but after a conversation between Eyebrow and his mother led to Allison playing up Eyebrows' Frenchiness.

** Shaunie McClain, a rich girl who is for some reason interested in him

** Eddie Cramer, a whiny useless manchild who can't go two seconds without getting injured, asking someone to adopt him, or being creepily possessive of his girlfriend
** Shaunie, a rich girl who is for some reason interested in him
** Stephanie, Mitch's boss and ex-girlfriend, equally petty and competitive and also low-key obsessed with him

** Craig Palmeroy, whose behavior switches between wise and friendly grandfather (despite being no older than Mitch) and deeply unsettling possible serial killer

** Eyebrows, an exceedingly French rich boy who doesn't have any real problems until his parents leave the country and take the money with them and who receives absolutely zero respect from Stephanie

A web series by Creator/AllisonPregler of Obscurus Lupa Presents and Movie Nights fame. The series is, as the title would suggest, a recap of every episode of ''Series/Baywatch''. She is also covering ''Baywatch Nights'' concurrently with the series starting with its launch in season 6 of the regular series and plans to cover the reunion special. In addition, she reviewed the 2017 feature film reboot, well out of order (but as she noted, if she'd waited until 2037 when she would finally get around to it if she took things in order, no one would care).

The series style has Allison recapping the episode with a healthy amount of snark. What makes the series stand out is her AbridgedSeries- style AlternativeCharacterInterpretation of the cast that frequently pop up in the episode, usually over awkward screencaps of the characters. The original series of ''Baywatch'' is about the lifeguards of Baywatch Beach, lead by Mitch Buchanon, a single father with a love of food and a bit of hero complex, and a rotating cast of characters, each with their own quirks and personalities. The ''Baywatching'' series quickly turns into a show about Mitch Von Malibu, an egotistical, attention-hungry, omnicompetent, dog-hating meat-eater with deep-seated attachment issues, desperately clinging to his youth, and a rotating cast of other lifeguards who are mostly incompetent:

* Eddie Cramer, a whiny useless manchild who can't go two seconds without getting injured, asking someone to adopt him, or being creepily possessive of his girlfriend:
* Shaunie, a rich girl who is for some reason interested in him
* Stephanie, Mitch's boss and ex-girlfriend, equally petty and competitive and also low-key obsessed with him
* Mitch's often mistreated son Hobie (later, Hobie II, after the first one disappears and another one has to be fetched from the cloning tube)
* Garner Ellerbee, Mitch's "best friend", who sucks up most of his abuse but still hangs out with him, possibly because Mitch solves most of his cases

and many many more. Can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiR_TugQyPc7cerQgiYCjtw here.]], and a full playlist of the series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzSaABvhwN1NVzkxm86VLsslYmThKtVu0 here.]]

** Points out good performances and scenes, such as when Hobie and his kinda-girlfriend are resuscitating another child that they rescued, the girl is doing some really good acting; or Carrie-Ann Moss managing to pull off instant switching between a shy and nervous young woman and her vivacious and outgoing twin sister [[spoiler:who is actually her alternate personality]].

** For an example not created by Allison herself: Summer, who the creators of Baywatch put through a TraumaCongaLine. By the time she gets possessed by a ghost, Allison wonders if the creators hate her.

** After it's revealed that he and Eyebrows are pen pals and that Eyebrows bought Eddie's houseboat, he shows up.. and Shaunie dumps him for selling their house without telling him.

** Dr. Shark shows up after Stephanie is rescued in "Vacation".
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted. Guido being sexually harassed by a widow is mocked for portraying it as comedy.

** Harvey, who gets a BigNo out of Shaunie just by showing up.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: Newmie, who in Baywatching (and to be fair, very nearly in Baywatch) is more or less Jesus in lifeguard form.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Both the way Mitch's character is written (especially after David Hasselhoff becomes an executive producer) and Allison's opinion on some of the things Hasselhoff has said.

* MisterFanservice: In a show about reasonably fit and TV-attractive people not wearing much beyond bathing suits and glistening in the California sun, in terms of eye candy Allison really only seems interested in John Allen Nelson as John D Cort.

** Craig calming Mitch down with a creepy stare. He says nothing, just stares at Eddie with his creepy pale eyes. Allison becomes half-convinced he has weird hypnotic powers and plays it up for the rest of his appearances.

** Pepsi, which was featured heavily in a scene about Mitch's father having cancer, and thusly mocked and later used in an attempt to cure Mitch's paralysis.
** A&W Cream Soda, which features heavily into Season 4 and notably actually got Allison to drink some due to this. At one point, in a single scene, a character is wearing a shirt featuring no less than two cream soda logos, while talking with another character about a contest where the grand prize is a year's supply, with both characters using the full "A&W Cream Soda" product name at least once. This subplot is also referred back to multiple times ''within that same episode and beyond'', as the character wins the year's supply and shots of their fridge always show it filled to the gills with cans of the stuff.
** Coca-Cola, which had a somewhat shorter life than the others but was so memorably used with one recurring character she called him "Coke Detective".

** Trevor gets one set to Men At Work's "Land Down Under"

** Frequently poking fun at the fact that the show never won an Emmy by pointing out cast members and guest stars who have won Emmies or other awards or gone on to greater fame and fortune (never for their work on Baywatch, obviously) and quipping that they have "[one] more Emmy than Baywatch", or that she doesn't think their career will amount to much.

** 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, in addition to 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.
** Character Actor Jeff Altman, mostly for playing the same character every time and getting worse each appearance. She does however love the fact he's the titular Jeff from "Pink Lady and Jeff"

* ShoutOut: She once has a dog go [[WebVideo/{{Phelous}} "It's not weird! ARARARARAR"]] (The dog bark makes several appearances.)
* SpiritualSuccessor: To Allison Pregler's previous Charmed reviews, especially with the silly voices she gives people.

* ThousandYardStare: Allison mocks Craig's penchant for giving these. Of note is a scene from the show itself, entirely unedited, where Craig talks Mitch down just by fixing him with his eyes.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Gives the show credit when it does something right or something SoBadItsGood

* ButtMonkey: '''Eddie''. Allison seems to take delight in finding new and hilarious ways to hurt or humiliate him. No one in the cast really likes him and his girlfriend Shaunie barely tolerates him. Allison outright calls him the trope title, and in the recap of Baywatch's first ClipShow, makes a photoshopped ClipShow of her own out of fans's suggestions for horrible accidents Eddie could have suffered.

** Eyebrows: "Sacre Bleu!"
** Garner: "Hot Damn!"
** Cort: "That's why they call me John (Some word starting with D) Cort!"
** Life Guard Old Man/Ben: "I'm so old..."

** Trevor Cole, for being hilariously over the top in his first appearance and genuinely enjoyable. He gets a montage set to "Land Down Under" after his final appearance.

* TheScrappy: {{In-Universe}}. There's quite a few characters Allison can't stand.

* AbridgedSeries: Serves as one, albeit with her narrating most of the plot.
* AscendedExtra: Newmie, who's small appearances in the early seasons are given way more prominence due to Allison's love of the character.

** Calls the Child Inside a legibly good episode and her go to when people ask if Baywatch has one.

* BadBadActing: Jimmy Slade. Allison's version of him takes Kelly Slater's awful acting UpToEleven.
* BigEater: Mitch. He's usually seen cooking meat when at home and most of Allison's snark is burger related.
* BigNo: Gives one when the show zooms in on Captain Thrope's crotch.

* ButtMonkey: *Eddie*. Allison seems to take delight in finding new and hilarious ways to hurt or humilate him. No one in the cast really likes him and his girlfriend Shaunie barely tolerates him. Allison outright calls him this.

** Mitch: "My Save!", "Posiden will punish him for his insolence", "I"ll murder/kill you Hobie 2!", "Shut up" "Suck it!" and "I just wanna say, I did great today. "

** Cort: "That's why they call me John (Some word starting with D) Cort"
** Allison herself: "Harvey, your the worst" and "I didn't add that. "
** Life Guard Old Man/Ben: "I'm so old"
* CausticCritic: Usually, though Allison will give the show credit where credit is due and in the intro to "The Child Inside" outright calls it a good episode of the show and states she might have trouble riffing it as a result.
* TheCameo: Eddie shows up a few times after he's PutOnABus:
** When introducing the episode "Life Guards Can't Jump' an episode trying to appeal to a black audiences she mockingly says it focuses on Eddie

** He crops up for a second when she points out that the show's out of date 80's stockfootage has a shot of Eddie.

-->'''Eddie:''' Shauni.. (Gets interupted by a Kangaroo kicking him. )
* ContinuityNod: Allison keeps better continuity than the show itself honestly.
** She points out Eddie formerly being homeless when he mocks them in one episode, and genuinely does not know if the show just forgot or if Eddie's that much of a dick.
** She remembers Eddie and Shaunie's engagment, and also brings up Thrope's previous in-series attraction to Eddie early in season 2.
** Dr. Shark shows up after Stephanie is rescued in "Vacation"

** Newmie, for being charming,,competent (Unlike the rest of Baywatch) and having a rather impressive life outside of Baywatch.
* TheFriendNoOneLikes: Eddie. The other lifeguards barely tolerate him when their not abusing him.
** Harvey, who gets a BigNo out of Shaunie just by showing up.
** Jill who's constantly ignored by the others in her attempts to be a real character.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Newmie
* ImplausibleDeniability: Mitch in one episode claims he doesn't eat much red meat. Allison has a minor freakout over this due to practically every cut back to the Bucannon household having him cooking some meat product.

* LoveableSexManiac: Defied. Harvey is portrayed this way by Baywatch proper but Allison points out just how creepy he comes off instead.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Frequently, usually in regard to montages she cracks up when the show sets a montage to "I'm Too Sexy" noting she didn't add this. Same with a flashback set to Oridnary World and an episode starting with "Surfin USA"
** When Hobie says "Gotta Love Him" after Mitch burns dinner

** Craig calming Mitch down with a KubrickStare
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up Eddie"
** "Shut up Jill your not a real character!"
** "Harvey, you're the worst. "
* ProductPlacement: Points out Baywatch's frequent attempts at it, calling Waverunners "Waverunner TM!". Other notable examples include:

** A&W Cream Soda, which features heavily into Season 4 and notably actually got Allison to drink some due to this.
* RealityEnsues; Frequently has the characters actually face the consequences of their actions in voiceover.. not that it changes anything.

** Subverted with Eddie where one starts.. and then a flushing sound is heard cutting it off.
** Guido gets one set to "Celebrate" by cool and the gang while Allison talks over it, Celebrating how he's finally gone.
** Jimmy Slade gets one set to "Surfin USA"

** Frequently poking fun at the fact that the show never won an Emmy by pointing out cast members and guest stars who have won Emmies and quipping that they have "one more Emmy than Baywatch".

** Eddie, who in the episodes proper is a creepy possessive dick who the series tries to push as a sex symbol, who Allison relishes in portraying as a whiny sexless ManChild.
** Harvey, who unlike Eddie, Allison dosen't give an exagerated alternate version due to her hatred of him, calling him "The Worst" almost any time he shows up due to being a creepy, sex crazed schemer who first appears profiting off someone's death and only gets worse from there.
** 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, in addition to being an obnoxious stereotype who constantly mugs for the camera. Allison celebrates his last appearance.

** Life Guard Old Man, who she frequently mocks and whose subplots are frequently skipped or are shown annoying her. She admits in his final episode why she gives him so much shit: His plots are boring and grind the show to a halt.
* ShoutOut: She once has a dog go [[WebVideo/{{Phelous}} "It's not weird! Arfarfarfarf"]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: To Allison Pregler's previous Charmed reviews.

* ThousandYardStare: Allison mocks Craig's penchant for giving these. Of note is a scene from the show itself, entirely unedited, where Craig talks Mitch down with this.
* YourCheatingHeart: Eyebrows/Matt and Summer's relationship starts with her cheating with Slade and Summer constnatly fears matt's going to cheat on her afterwords. Allison wastes no opprutnity pointing out the hypocrisy.

* ShoutOut: She once has a dog go[[WebVideo/Phelous "It's not weird! Arfarfarfarf"]]

** Harvey, a sleazy scheming douchebag who constantly hits on women. Allison calls him "The Worst" at least OnceAnEpisode when he appears, calls him and Eddie "Walking Mummies Curses" and frequently invokes RealityInsues to his subplots.
