[[caption-width-right: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-winning CartoonNetwork show, running from 2005 to 2008. Created by Joe Murray, previously known for ''RockosModernLife''. It is about the adventures of Lazlo, a spider-monkey; Raj, an elephant, and Clam, a pygmy 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 Scoutmaster Lumpus' dismay, Lazlo's search for adventure around the camp and obliviousness to danger makes him uncontrollable.
----
!!The show provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: Edward's lice cannon in "Mascot Madness".
* AccidentalDanceCraze: Raj creates one while trying swat a mosquito in "Slap Happy". It also happens to be same as the secret handshake of Scoutmaster Lumpus' BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Chip and Skip.
* AnimalsNotToScale
* 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.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Slinkman
* 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.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Be very afraid when Slinkman is pushed to the breaking point.
* BlackBeltInOrigami: Patty claims to have a black belt in bok choy.
* BlatantLies: Raj resorts to an increasingly impropable series of lies to explain Clam's absence in "Where's Clam?", culminating in him attempting to claim that a traffic cone and a bag of chips '''is''' Clam, and then that Clam is invisible and flying.
* BlessedAreTheCheesemakers: "The Big Cheese" and "Cheese Orbs" both centre around cheese.
* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: Scoutmaster Lumpus is a member of one of these, the Legume Council.
* TheCameo: Heffer Wolfe from ''RockosModernLife'', Joe Murray's other cartoon made a cameo in the last episode as the real scout master who is older and has all his hair shaved off.
* CanadaEh: The alien/cheese episode had excange campers from Canada.
* CardboardPal: In "The Weakest Link", Scoutmaster Lumpus creates fake scouts after all the scouts go missing on the day when Commander Hoo-Ha is due to make his inspection.
* ChainedToARailway: Happens to Lumpus after he is captured by the clowns of Slapstick Mountain.
* ChewToy (and ButtMonkey): Lumpus, which, as usual, is played entirely for laughs.
* CoincidentalAccidentalDisguise: At least twice, turning Raj into a yeti in "Marshmallow Jones" and Lumpus into a snipe in "The Great Snipe Hunt".
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: No matter how many times they tell him, Lazlo just won't get it that HE's the Hugger.
* 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".
** We can safely say that this show is pretty consistent. Other examples include when Raj and Clam flashback to when they first arrived at Camp Kidney with Lazlo, and splashing in the lake despite Raj not being able to swim (yet). In another, Samson and Raj try to argue over a hot spring, and when trying to embarrass the other with their gross secret, Edward and the other campers show the rash they got on their behinds from that same spring to get them to shut up. Few episodes later, he's trying to mail himself out and takes off his shirt for less weight. When he goes to collect more stamps, Samson covers his eyes and remarks that he's still got his rash.
* 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: Chip and Skip. Because they're so dumb they run up to the speaker every time the camp announcements 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 ditzs. This all happened in just in one episode too and they demonstrate this the rest of the time.
* 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.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Edward pantsing everyone in Camp Kidney. His last target is Lazlo, who he ends up tricking into a bunker to pull his pants down.
* 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.]]
* DrillSergeantNasty: Commander Hoo-Ha
* EducationThroughPyrotechnics: In "Sweet Dream Baby" the Jelly Beans manage to put their cabin into orbit with something they mixed up in a store bought chemistry kit.
* TheEeyore: Sampson.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Lazlo.
* EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi: Edward.
* ExactTimeToFailure: In "The Big Cheese", Raj says that anyone who eats the cheese will disintegrate in exactly 13 minutes. Scoutmaster Lumpus, naturally, eats the cheese.
* {{Expy}}: Chip and Skip's must be the show's version of [[TheRippingFriends Jimmy The Idiot-Boy]] (split into two).
* ExtremeDoormat: Slinkman, in earlier episodes.
* FartsOnFire: One episode turned this UpToEleven for a hilariously disastrous fuel-air bomb when Lazlo was invited to a ceremony right after a bean-eating contest. The beans caused gas to build up and overload Lazlo's tummy. The moment the ceremonial torch was lit, [[PottyFailure he let it all go]].
* FencePainting: In "Bowling for Dinosaurs", Scoutmaster Lumpus tricks the Bean Scouts into clearing the space for his new bowling alley by getting them to dig for dinosaur bones.
* FlushingToiletScreamingShower: Slinkman deliberately does this to Lumpus in one episode.
* FrenchJerk: The swim instructors
* FunHatingConfiscatingAdult: Miss Mucus has a room in her trailer full of toys she has confiscated. Scoutmaster Lumpus also has elements of this but, in his case, he tend to confiscate items so he can use them himself (like his stash of confiscated candy) rather than to deprive the children of them.
* FurryConfusion[=/=]CarnivoreConfusion: 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.
* [[spoiler: GainaxEnding: Wait Lumpus is a psycho, wait what? What just happened]].
* TheGenericGuy: Lampshaded agressively in one episode. Samson complains that he's never noticed.
-->'''Edward''': So what? (Edward holds up one of the generic campers) This guy doesn't even have a ''name'', but you don't see ''him'' complaining!
* GeniusDitz: Clam. "Prodigous Clamus" is built entirely around this trope.
* 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 favorite 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.
--> "Edward, [[ItMakesSenseInContext There's a party in my pants, and you're invited.]]"
* Also, in the episode where their camp literally gets taken away.
--> '''Samson''': This stool is way too hard.
--> '''Edward''': [[AWorldwidePunomenon Just rub a little stool softener on it.]]
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: "Campers All Pull Pants" is about Edward attempting to pants everyone in Camp Kidney. Guess what just about every camper is wearing?
* GoshHornet: In "The Big Cheese", Scoutmaster Lumpus attempts to steal a cheese wheel by picking it up with his buttocks. Somehow he accidentally picks up a bee hive instead. HilarityEnsues.
* GrandFinale
* HeyItsThatVoice: Slinkman is SpongebobSquarepants.
** Lazlo, Lumpus, and Edward are [[RockosModernLife Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt]] respectively.
** Patsy and Jane Doe are [[TheLittleMermaid Ariel]].
** Raj and Sampson are voice-actor JeffBennett.
** In Italy and Sweden, Lazlo is [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]].
* HideAndNoSeek: Scoutmaster Lumpus wants to spend the day fishing, and tries to convince the scouts that "You can help me by NOT helping me." Of course, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard this results in]] Lumpus [[CryingWolf actually needing help...]]
* HoYay: Irreconcilable Dungferences
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Raj says "Well, I'm off to get some chutney" when he sneaks off to his secret hot spring.
* {{Inevitable Waterfall}}:
-->'''Raj''': [[{{ThisIsSparta}} Must. Get. Retainer. Before. WATERFALL!]]
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: Somehow, a moose and a Migrating Mulberry Tree can get married and have offspring.]]
** There's also the matter of Commander Hoo-Haa (a buffalo) who is somehow the father of [[spoiler: Patsy, a mongoose.]] We never see her mother, so it's a possibility.
* 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.
** Though it's shown that the Bean Scouts go home around Halloween.
* {{Jerkass}}: Lumpus, and sometimes Edward
* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: In "Movie Night", according to the Bean Scout regulations, Edward is too young to watch ''Mountain Zombies of Scab Lagoon'' (rated BB, Big Boys), and has to watch ''Mr. Cotton Goes to Bubbleland'' instead. He later locks himself in the projection room and watches ''Mountain Zombies of Scab Lagoon'' alone and scares himself silly.
* KnifeThrowingAct: The clowns of Slapstick Mountain make Lumpus the unwilling target of one.
* KnowYourVines: "Raj? Why are you hiding in that poison ivy?"
* LintValue: Lumpus attempts to pay a restaurant bill with the contents of the Bean Scouts' pockets: buttons, lint, string, a frog...
* LongPants: Some of the campers, including the entire main trio, wear these instead of no pants at all.
* LoudOfWar: Raj and Samson trying to get each other to leave a secret hot spring by singing very loudly and ''very'' badly.
* MeritBadgesForEverything: In one episode Scoutmaster Lumpus bemoans the failure of any of the Bean Scouts to achieve a single merit badge. Edward thens reveals that he has full set (having dishonestly bought them). We never find out a full list but it does include 'Motorcycle Maintenance'.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Ms. Doe, the scoutmistress for the Squirrel Scouts.
* MistakenForDying: Lumpus in "The Big Cheese".
* MistakenForPregnant: In episode "Ed's Benedict", Dave and Ping-Pong slip an egg into Edward's bed as a prank. For the rest of the episode, all the kids think he's expecting while Lumpus and Slinkman awkwardly try to explain the concept of pregnancy to them.
* MistakenForSpecialGuest: In "The Weakest Link", the three Jelly Beans are mistaken for three eccentric Finnish princes.
* MooseAreIdiots: Lumpus, who is a JerkAss who doesn't even ''like'' his Scoutmaster job.
* MyNameIsNotDurwood[=/=]ItsPronouncedTroPAY - Scoutmaster [[strike:Lumpus]] Lupus
** And several characters, including Miss Doe and Commander Hoo-Ha, keep referring to Slinkman as 'Slugman'.
* TheNapoleon: Edward.
* NeatFreak: Samson.
* NerdyInhaler: Samson. He even calls it his "Asthma Buddy".
* NoodleIncident: In "Snow Beans"
-->'''Lumpus:''' Quick, Slinkman, I was holding this chair so tight my fingers are welded to it.
-->'''Slinkman:''' Should I get the pliers ''again'', sir?
* OddFriendship: Edward, Chip and Skip.
* OddNameOut: All the cabins in Camp Kidney are named after types of beans. The central trio live in Jelly Cabin; A Jelly Bean is candy, not a real bean.
* OnlySaneMan: Mr. Slinkman.
* OrphanedPunchline: The show would often feature the central trio walking in at the tail end of one Edward's stories to the rest of the scouts; e.g. "...so that's why I don't play croquet any more."
** One of the lemmings (of all characters) delivers this classic in "The Weakest Link":
-->...So the man says to the chicken "How are you going to get your taxidermy badge if you never learned to play the accordion?"
* PecFlex: Commander Hoo-Ha does this in the Valentine's Day episode.
* PlankGag: Happens to Chip and Skip, using a pair of skis rather than a plank, in "Snow Beans".
* PottyEmergency: Pretty much the entire plot of "Hold It Lazlo". Lazlo having unwittingly annoyed Edward (again) by beating him in a lemonade drinking contest soon has to go (bad). Edward takes advantage of this and repeatedly thwarts all of Lazlo's attempts to go (he eventually uses Lazlo's predicament to trick him into wearing a diaper, but it backfires of course). The potty emergency comes to it's peak when in the middle of it, Lazlo relieves himself in the lake, only to be reprimanded by a fish, forcing Lazlo to ''suck it back into himself''. Ouch!
** Not to mention that the fish was a ''puppet'' controlled by Edward!
* TheQuietOne: Clam rarely says more than two words at a time
* RetroUniverse: The setting was made to evoke the 1950's and 1960's
* RunningGag: Lumpus being unable to identify Clam's species.
* SavingChristmas: Santa wants to cancel Christmas to take a vacation, but Lazlo convinces him to take a short vacation at summer camp and return in time to finish the presents. Christmas is saved...right? Nope; Santa doesn't want to leave camp. Laz finally convinces Santa to go home. Saved! Except, while Santa was gone, Lumpus hijacked his home and servants. An epic battle ensues, with Lumpus armed with a walking lawn chair and Santa a tether ball. [[DeusExMachina Lumpus is hit by a meteor at the last second]], and Christmas is saved.
* SchoolNurse: Nurse Leslie, a male Nurse Shark.
* ScoutOut: The Bean Scouts and the Squirrel Scouts
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Edward
* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: Edward wins a race, only to find that Lazlo's Middle Place trophy is bigger than his First Place trophy. TheStinger shows that Chip and Skip's Last Place trophy is shiny, golden, and huge.
* ShoutOut: In "Tree Hugger", there's a point where they're using [[SpongebobSquarepants The Flying Dutchman's]] {{Leitmotif}}, I swear.
** A lot of the music from SpongeBob is public domain stock music, actually. This show was the first to make this obvious, by sharing a few of the themes iconic to the show.
* SnipeHunt: "The Great Snipe Hunt"
* SpellingSong
-->"L-A-Z-L-O! And Lazlo was his name-o!"
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Clam rarely utters complete sentences; most of his verbal interjections consist of an echolalia-like repetition of a key word or phrase from another character's dialogue. When he occasionally does utter an original statement, it tends to be syntactically-challenged.
* StuckOnASkiLift: Happens to Lumpus in "Snow Beans".
* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler: Lumpus was an insane kidnapper]].
-->'''Lazlo''': Boy, what a happy ending!
-->'''Edward''': Lazlo, we're standing in Prickly Pines naked, and [[spoiler: the moose we thought was our scoutmaster just got hauled off as a deranged lunatic to a funny farm.]]
-->'''Lazlo''': Yeah, what a great summer! I can't wait for next year!
* SummerCampy
* SurroundedByIdiots: Slinkman and Edward
* SwivelChairAntics: Nurse Leslie is always sitting on one. When the chair is broken, he can't even use his own two legs to support himself standing up.
* TalkingToHimself: TomKenny was both Lumpus and Slinkman, while CarlosAlazraqui was both Lazlo and Clam.
** JeffBennett is the voice actor for both Raj and Samson. Joe Murray is on record as saying Bennett should get some kind of award for "Hot Spring Fever"; an episode that consists almost entirely of Raj and Samson arguing with each other.
* TedBaxter: Edward carries heavy shades of this.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Chip and Skip
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: In "Beans Are From Mars", Chip and Skip get their tongues stuck to an ice cream truck. Which then drives off.
* TooDumbToLive: Chip and Skip.
* ToothyBird: Edward is a platypus with teeth.
* TotemPoleTrench
* TreasureMap: Raj gets a treasure map marked out on his butt in mosquito bites in "Lumpy Treasure".
* UltimateJobSecurity: Scoutmaster Algonquin C. Lumpus, 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.]]
* 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"
*** '''S'''cout '''M'''aster '''I'''n '''T'''he '''S'''ky
* WalkOnWater: Clam, as a oneshot joke in the swimming episode.
** [[ContinuityNod And again]] in "Beans in Toyland".
* WalletMoths: When Scoutmaster Lumpus opens his wallet in "Prickly Pining Dining", a large cloud of dust escapes.
* WentToTheGreatXInTheSky: The campers (or at least Lazlo) use "Scout Master in the Sky", or "Smits" for short, as an UnusualEuphemism for {{God}}. One episode centers on an air-conditioning unit that drops out of an airplane and becomes something of a Holy Grail in the middle of a heat wave.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: '''PINE CONE-SITTING!!'''
-->'''Ms. Doe:''' Oh, my! It's too exciting!
* WideEyedIdealist: Lazlo.
* WorkOffTheDebt: "Prickly Pining Dining" ends with the Jelly Beans cleaning the bathroom and Scoutmaster Lumpus working as the restuarant's stuffed moose head.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals
* YesMan: Slinkman is this to Lumpus, while Chip and Skip is this to Edward.
* YouAreATreeCharlieBrown: In "7 Deadly Sandwiches", Lumpus insists on being part of the play, and brags to Miss Doe about his "strong" part. "Strong", it turns out, was literal. He plays a rock.
* YourTomcatIsPregnant

[[caption-width-right: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-winning CartoonNetwork show, running from 2005 to 2008. Created by Joe Murray, previously known for ''RockosModernLife''. It is about the adventures of Lazlo, a spider-monkey; Raj, an elephant, and Clam, a pygmy 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 Scoutmaster Lumpus' dismay, Lazlo's search for adventure around the camp and obliviousness to danger makes him uncontrollable.
----
!!The show provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: Edward's lice cannon in "Mascot Madness".
* AccidentalDanceCraze: Raj creates one while trying swat a mosquito in "Slap Happy". It also happens to be same as the secret handshake of Scoutmaster Lumpus' BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Chip and Skip.
* AnimalsNotToScale
* 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.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Slinkman
* 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.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Be very afraid when Slinkman is pushed to the breaking point.
* BlackBeltInOrigami: Patty claims to have a black belt in bok choy.
* BlatantLies: Raj resorts to an increasingly impropable series of lies to explain Clam's absence in "Where's Clam?", culminating in him attempting to claim that a traffic cone and a bag of chips '''is''' Clam, and then that Clam is invisible and flying.
* BlessedAreTheCheesemakers: "The Big Cheese" and "Cheese Orbs" both centre around cheese.
* BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: Scoutmaster Lumpus is a member of one of these, the Legume Council.
* TheCameo: Heffer Wolfe from ''RockosModernLife'', Joe Murray's other cartoon made a cameo in the last episode as the real scout master who is older and has all his hair shaved off.
* CanadaEh: The alien/cheese episode had excange campers from Canada.
* CardboardPal: In "The Weakest Link", Scoutmaster Lumpus creates fake scouts after all the scouts go missing on the day when Commander Hoo-Ha is due to make his inspection.
* ChainedToARailway: Happens to Lumpus after he is captured by the clowns of Slapstick Mountain.
* ChewToy (and ButtMonkey): Lumpus, which, as usual, is played entirely for laughs.
* CoincidentalAccidentalDisguise: At least twice, turning Raj into a yeti in "Marshmallow Jones" and Lumpus into a snipe in "The Great Snipe Hunt".
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: No matter how many times they tell him, Lazlo just won't get it that HE's the Hugger.
* 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".

* SavingChristmas: Santa wants to cancel Christmas to take a vacation, but Lazlo convinces him to take a short vacation at summer camp and return in time to finish the presents. Christmas is saved...right? Nope; Santa doesn't want to leave camp. Laz finally convinces Santa to go home. Saved! Except, while Santa was gone, Lumpus hijacked his home and servants. An epic battle ensues, with Lumpus armed with a walking lawn chair and Santa a tether ball. [[DeusExMachina Lumpus is hit by a meteor at the last second]], and Christmas is saved.
* SchoolNurse: Nurse Leslie, a male Nurse Shark.
* ScoutOut: The Bean Scouts and the Squirrel Scouts
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Edward
* SecondPlaceIsForWinners: Edward wins a race, only to find that Lazlo's Middle Place trophy is bigger than his First Place trophy. TheStinger shows that Chip and Skip's Last Place trophy is shiny, golden, and huge.
* ShoutOut: In "Tree Hugger", there's a point where they're using [[SpongebobSquarepants The Flying Dutchman's]] {{Leitmotif}}, I swear.
** A lot of the music from SpongeBob is public domain stock music, actually. This show was the first to make this obvious, by sharing a few of the themes iconic to the show.
* SnipeHunt: "The Great Snipe Hunt"
* SpellingSong
-->"L-A-Z-L-O! And Lazlo was his name-o!"
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Clam rarely utters complete sentences; most of his verbal interjections consist of an echolalia-like repetition of a key word or phrase from another character's dialogue. When he occasionally does utter an original statement, it tends to be syntactically-challenged.
* StuckOnASkiLift: Happens to Lumpus in "Snow Beans".
* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler: Lumpus was an insane kidnapper]].
-->'''Lazlo''': Boy, what a happy ending!
-->'''Edward''': Lazlo, we're standing in Prickly Pines naked, and [[spoiler: the moose we thought was our scoutmaster just got hauled off as a deranged lunatic to a funny farm.]]
-->'''Lazlo''': Yeah, what a great summer! I can't wait for next year!
* SummerCampy
* SurroundedByIdiots: Slinkman and Edward
* SwivelChairAntics: Nurse Leslie is always sitting on one. When the chair is broken, he can't even use his own two legs to support himself standing up.
* TalkingToHimself: TomKenny was both Lumpus and Slinkman, while CarlosAlazraqui was both Lazlo and Clam.
** JeffBennett is the voice actor for both Raj and Samson. Joe Murray is on record as saying Bennett should get some kind of award for "Hot Spring Fever"; an episode that consists almost entirely of Raj and Samson arguing with each other.
* TedBaxter: Edward carries heavy shades of this.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Chip and Skip
* TongueOnTheFlagpole: In "Beans Are From Mars", Chip and Skip get their tongues stuck to an ice cream truck. Which then drives off.
* TooDumbToLive: Chip and Skip.
* ToothyBird: Edward is a platypus with teeth.
* TotemPoleTrench
* TreasureMap: Raj gets a treasure map marked out on his butt in mosquito bites in "Lumpy Treasure".
* UltimateJobSecurity: Scoutmaster Algonquin C. Lumpus, 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.]]
* 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"
*** '''S'''cout '''M'''aster '''I'''n '''T'''he '''S'''ky
* WalkOnWater: Clam, as a oneshot joke in the swimming episode.
** [[ContinuityNod And again]] in "Beans in Toyland".
* WalletMoths: When Scoutmaster Lumpus opens his wallet in "Prickly Pining Dining", a large cloud of dust escapes.
* WentToTheGreatXInTheSky: The campers (or at least Lazlo) use "Scout Master in the Sky", or "Smits" for short, as an UnusualEuphemism for {{God}}. One episode centers on an air-conditioning unit that drops out of an airplane and becomes something of a Holy Grail in the middle of a heat wave.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: '''PINE CONE-SITTING!!'''
-->'''Ms. Doe:''' Oh, my! It's too exciting!
* WideEyedIdealist: Lazlo.
* WorkOffTheDebt: "Prickly Pining Dining" ends with the Jelly Beans cleaning the bathroom and Scoutmaster Lumpus working as the restuarant's stuffed moose head.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals
* YesMan: Slinkman is this to Lumpus, while Chip and Skip is this to Edward.
* YouAreATreeCharlieBrown: In "7 Deadly Sandwiches", Lumpus insists on being part of the play, and brags to Miss Doe about his "strong" part. "Strong", it turns out, was literal. He plays a rock.
* YourTomcatIsPregnant
