History WesternAnimation / CampLazlo

* BaitAndSwitch: In the short named "The Amazing Race", one scene shows Samson finishing a pile of leaves and commenting how it took all day and that he couldn't imagine doing it all over again, seemingly setting up for Edward's out-of-control boat running through the leaf pile; however, Slinkman appears and the boat runs into him instead.

* EatenAlive: Lazlo and Lumpus in "The Big Weigh In".

*

* OverprotectiveDad: Commander Hoo-Ha towards his daughter [[spoiler:Patsy.]]

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The female characters such as the Squirrel Scouts and Jane Doe can suffer slapstick as much as the males.

* 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.

* BitchInSheepsClothing[=/=]HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In "O Brother, Who Art Thou", Slinkman brings in Edward's four older brothers, who are Camp Kidney alumni, to try and discipline the campers. [[FailedASpotCheck He fails to recognize]] [[BigBrotherBully how much big bullies Edward's brothers are]] and how abusive they're actually treating the Bean Scouts.

* 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.

* BigBad: Switches between Edward Platypus, and Scoutmaster Lumpus. Though as the series goes on, Lumpus increasingly takes this role more often, with Edward showing a few PetTheDog and sympathetic moments. The ending very much solidifies Lumpus as the this.
** Ms. Mucus a few times also.

Although considered a ToughActToFollow compared to Murray's previous show, critical reception was decent, with some hailing it as one of the better shows to air during Cartoon Network's NetworkDecay in the mid-to-late 2000s, alongside ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' (which most of the ''Lazlo'' crew went on to produce). Some have compared its humor being similar to ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' as well as using a similar audio-track. It has a considerable fanbase, and the series has won three Emmy Awards and three Pulcinella Awards, and was also nominated for another Emmy and an Annie Award. Its hour-long movie special "[[WesternAnimation/CampLazloWheresLazlo Where's Lazlo?]]" won an Emmy in the "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming One Hour or More)" category. ''Camp Lazlo'' was released in HD remasters partially on Boomerang's streaming service in 2018, completing the HD release of the show in its entirety in June 2019.

* FurryDenial: Everyone freaks when Lazlo brings a bear into camp, despite the fact that one of the campers is a bear. This is never addressed.

''Camp Lazlo'' is an Emmy-winning Creator/CartoonNetwork show, running from 2005 to 2008. Created by Joe Murray, previously known for ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife''.

* CryingARiver: In "The Engagement", Scoutmaster Lumpus gets dumped by Jane Doe, and cries for 3 days until his office flooded with tears and Slinkman had to use a boat.

* FartsOnFire: The short "The Eternal Flame" 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 insides. The moment the ceremonial torch was lit, [[PottyFailure he let it all go]].

* 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]].
* AsianStoreOwner: Raj in "No Beads No Business". He really wanted to run the camp store. ** [[spoiler:He quickly becomes a BadBoss to Lazlo]]

* LargeHam: Edward probably being the biggest of them all.

* OcularGushers: Happens in some episodes. But in "The Engagement", Scoutmaster Lumpus doesn't just have these, [[CryingARiver he flooded his room with them]].

* 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.]]
