| 4 | !Main Trio |
| 5 | The three main child characters, [[{{DeadpanSnarker}} Max]], [[{{GenkiGirl}} Nikki]] and [[{{ChildProdigy}} Neil]]. |
| 6 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 7 | * DeadpanSnarker: While [[TheCynic Max]] is the worst of the lot, all three of them tend to snark at others, particularly [[ThePollyanna David]]. |
| 8 | * FreudianTrio: Nikki is the impulsive and energetic [[TheMcCoy Id]], Neil is the anxious and neurotic [[TheSpock Superego]], and Max is the [[TheKirk Ego]] balancing the two in order to pull of his schemes. |
| 9 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: Grumpy Max and GenkiGirl Nikki. |
| 10 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: |
| 11 | ** Nikki is the "Masculine Girl"; she's covered in bruises, scratches and band-aids. She bites people to assert dominance, wants to be RaisedByWolves (with ambitions of becoming the pack alpha), and [[spoiler:was run out of the Flower Scouts for not being girly enough]]. |
| 12 | ** Neil is the "Feminine Boy"; he fits in with the Flower Scouts far better than [[{{Tomboy}} Nikki]] ever did while posing as a female named "Neeancy". |
| 13 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: |
| 14 | ** Nikki fits the "Nice", being the most openly friendly. Also, her more callous actions seemingly caused by her bad understanding the concept of pain. |
| 15 | ** Max is the "Mean"; he's cynical, rude, and often a bit cruel in his pranks. |
| 16 | ** Being the "In Between", Neil is easily angered and brutal when upset. But, he's otherwise friendly and a lot of his temper is due to him being stuck outdoors in the summer heat, which ''really'' does not agree with him. |
| 17 | * TwoGuysAndAGirl: Max and Neil as the guys, with Nikki as the girl. |

| 22 | [[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4205c075ee5d3349cccf88b0adccc064b3a98d07pnj.png]] |
| 23 | [[caption-width-right:228:Enfant Terrible himself.]] |
| 24 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MichaelJones (Seasons 1-4), Krishna Kumar ([[Recap/CampCampWithFriendsLikeThese "With Friends Like These"]] onward) |
| 25 | |
| 26 | A cynical, trouble-making kid who sees through the facade of Camp Campbell and is dedicated to torturing his counselors. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * AdultHater: He seems to have a disdain for adults, treating David and Gwen like crap most of the time and generally being cynical about the outside world. [[spoiler:Turns out to be {{Justified}} by his upbringing by neglectful parents. Though after David and Gwen begin to show kindness to him over it, he starts to respect them a lot more.]] |
| 29 | * TheAlcoholic: Implied, as he snuck in a bottle of wine in the HalloweenEpisode "Night of the Living Ill". |
| 30 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: While he claims otherwise, this is basically [[FalseFriend Max's]] "friendship" with Dolph. He requires him to give him all his possessions and candy (although the former was possibly PlayedForLaughs). He also planned to use him as his [[FrameUp "fall guy"]] and gives him nothing in return [[note]] unless you count him [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] and dissing the boy [[/note]], including [[UngratefulBastard gratitude]]. [[spoiler: Granted, he did realize he went too far and tried to make it up to him]]. |
| 31 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: As part of his "BreakThemByTalking" lecture in the first season finale. |
| 32 | -->'''Max''': Life sucks, and we live in a world of desensitized, apathetic ''assholes!'' Why don't you just get with the program and stop giving a shit? |
| 33 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He spends the entire first season trying to bring David down to his miserable outlook on life. [[spoiler:When he finally succeeds,]] he seems to realize that hurting other people doesn't make him feel any happier. |
| 34 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He occasionally puts up a NiceGuy facade, especially when going full-on ManipulativeBastard. |
| 35 | * BreakThemByTalking: [[spoiler:He gives this lecture to David at the end of season one, telling him that humans are assholes who don't deserve kindness and that David should just give up like everyone else. Interestingly, he almost immediately regrets it and tries to console David instead.]] |
| 36 | ** Also does this to Harrison in season 3 [[spoiler: to make him want to come back to Camp Cambell]]. |
| 37 | * BrokenBird: His cynicism and his need to drag everybody else down to his level is fundamentally driven by the fact that [[spoiler: his parents just don't care about him. Underneath that facade is a [[SourOutsideSadInside heartbroken, lonely little kid]]]]. |
| 38 | * BrutalHonesty: As expected from a kid like him. When asking Nerris and Harrison if they have any dice, he makes it completely clear he wouldn't be talking to either of them otherwise. |
| 39 | * CantTakeCriticism: Inverted yet PlayedForLaughs in "Keep the Change", in which he gets upset over being complimented over his CharacterDevelopment. |
| 40 | * CassandraTruth: |
| 41 | ** He claims that Summer Camp is a place parents just leave their kids so they don't need to deal with them for the Summer. Most people just ignore this due to his usual bad attitude and negativity, and many fans presumed that if his parents did want him gone for the Summer it was ''because'' of his bad attitude. By the season 2 finale though, we find out [[spoiler:Max was actually telling the truth and his parents dumped him at the camp without even signing him up for any activities because they don't care about him.]] |
| 42 | ** He tries to warn David that Daniel is a crazy cultist and is trying to kill them all, but David doesn't believe him because he has apparently [[NoodleIncident made claims about cultists previously]] and completely misses the point of all the other evidence. |
| 43 | * CharacterDevelopment: |
| 44 | ** It's subtle, but in Season 2, while David still gets on his nerves, Max doesn't seem to completely despise him anymore. By Season 3 his hate is pretty much gone; when given the opportunity to get David sent to prison and the camp closed he instead turns on Cameron without a second of hesitation. |
| 45 | ** In the beginning, Max completely despised Camp Campbell and didn't seem to care what happened to it. Throughout the series, he slowly becomes attached to the place, to the point that [[spoiler:he's the one who ultimately manages to save it in the season 3 premiere]]. |
| 46 | ** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the first episode of Season 4, where Max is OUTRAGED when Neil, Nikki, Gwen and David all point out his character growth, and sets out to prove that he's still the same cynical asshole as before. [[spoiler:He fails.]] |
| 47 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He scares Space Kid away in one episode by claiming [[MoonLandingHoax the moon landings were a government hoax]]. Whether he believes it or if he was just doing it to mess with Space Kid is not known. |
| 48 | * CommonalityConnection: He gets along with Gwen (well, more than David, anyway) because she's as miserable at camp as he is. That's not to say he won't torment her for his own amusement, but he at least respects her jadedness. |
| 49 | * CovertPervert: Max seems to have an interesting relationship with puberty. Although he was freaked out the time he wandered into a strip club, repeated gags on the show involve him looking up pictures of boobs on the internet. |
| 50 | * CryingWolf: David didn't believe Max's claims about Daniel being a cult leader because he apparently makes such claims all the time. |
| 51 | * CutenessProximity: "Party Pooper" reveals that [[NotSoAboveItAll Max]] has a ''significant'' weakness for cute dogs. The sight of the baby platypus in "Eggs Benefits" also briefly has him dropping his usual cynical attitude about life. |
| 52 | * TheCynic: For example, says that camp is where parents send kids away to so that they can have them out of their hair. He also doesn't necessarily believe that he hates Camp Campbell specifically, he thinks that he just hates ''everything.'' |
| 53 | * DeadpanSnarker: As the cynical OnlySaneMan, he frequently makes fun of his fellow campers, and the staff's, eccentricities. |
| 54 | * DirtyKid: A [[PlayedForLaughs comical]] one, but one season two episode reveals he likes to look up images of boobs. Granted, he's ten and kids can hit puberty at that age. |
| 55 | * DrivenToMadness: It doesn't last, but [[spoiler:Daniel makes him start to go nuts in the season three finale]]. |
| 56 | * DudeNotFunny: After accidentally commenting on Pikeman's severe acne problem, Max agrees that it was mean and uncalled for. |
| 57 | * EnfantTerrible: Especially he tried to ''murder'' David in the second episode. His only reaction to failing was disappointment. |
| 58 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 59 | ** Tries to ''murder'' David in the beginning of "Mascot" and reacts in mild disappointment when he hits the hamster in his hand instead. [[spoiler: But even he was shocked by the Quartermaster killing the squirrel king.]] |
| 60 | ** He also apologized for insulting Pikeman's acne, even after being kidnapped and tied to a chair on his orders. |
| 61 | ** He apologizes and admits to stealing David's phone and committing identity fraud just as David is about to get arrested. |
| 62 | ** [[spoiler:He wants to drive David to crack and cry himself to sleep at night [[TheCynic just like everybody else]]. He doesn't want to drive David to crack and go on a murder spree]], he's not a monster... although he did [[spoiler:tried to outright [[BlackComedy kill David once]].]] |
| 63 | ** When he realizes that the new hire, Daniel, is a cultist bent on brainwashing the campers into committing suicide, he does everything he can to convince David, even brainwashing himself, to play on David's jealousy and insecurity. |
| 64 | ** He doesn't have much patience for racism, and finds David's "Chief Squatting Bear" routine appalling and "honestly kind of racist." |
| 65 | ** Even Max is disturbed when [[spoiler:David attacks Bonquisha's new boyfriend, really freaking out when David grabs a chair to keep on going]]. |
| 66 | ** And he's disturbed when Gwen mentions that she's had to fill out paperwork about dead campers before. |
| 67 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: When he thinks the Quartermaster is going to murder him. |
| 68 | --> Well, I guess Nikki was right. Enjoy wearing my skin! |
| 69 | * FalseFriend: [[ManipulativeBastard He]] feigns a friendship with Dolph in "The Candy Kingpin" to use him as his [[FrameUp "fall guy"]] and [[ItMakesSenseInContext access his candy]]. |
| 70 | * FreudianExcuse: A lot of his behavior is implied to stem from [[spoiler: his parents [[ParentalNeglect not caring about him]]]]. |
| 71 | * FriendlessBackground: It's implied that Max never had any friends pre-Neil and Nikki. |
| 72 | * GadgeteerGenius: Able to successfully hotwire a bus in episode one and construct an [[RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts incredibly elaborate mechanism designed to launch a catapult]] in episode two. Much later, in season 4, he is able to make a fully functioning isolation tank with nothing but a 3D printer and, presumably, other supplies from the camp. |
| 73 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: [[spoiler:Gender-swapped; "Gwen Gets a Job" reveals he has a stuffed teddy bear (Mr. Honeynuts), who he clearly loves]]. |
| 74 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: After being held captive by the Wood Scouts, Max realizes, "Maybe I don't hate Camp Campbell. Maybe I hate everything." It is worth noting after that he stopped trying to escape from camp, and instead tried showing David the world wasn't as perfect and great as he made it out to be. |
| 75 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: His response to [[spoiler:Neil's possible murder in "Reigny Day" was, "More tent for me."]] |
| 76 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 77 | ** Max is shown to be quite good at knitting in episode one, a trait David attributes to Knitting Camp. In fact, despite always talking about how much he hates Camp Campbell, he has picked up a large assortment of skills from the camp's various activities. |
| 78 | ** "The Forest" implies he knows how to tap-dance, and he's apparently not bad either. |
| 79 | ** At the end of "Welcome Back, Campers!", he reveals that [[spoiler: he started taking gymnastics lessons at some point between summers, and has gotten good enough to speed his way through CJ's ropes course without breaking a sweat.]] |
| 80 | * HobbesWasRight: His reason why he wanted to [[spoiler:break David is so that he'll realize that his ideologies in life are flawed and utterly useless for children and end up just as nihilistic as Max is. He succeeded, but not without [[GoneHorriblyRight realizing what he'd done]].]] |
| 81 | --> "[[BlatantLies I'm not a monster!]]" |
| 82 | * HollywoodAtheist: He thinks death is just eternal nothingness. Though he's such a miserable little bastard, he's actually looking ''forward'' to it. |
| 83 | * HumansAreBastards: His life philosophy. |
| 84 | * HypocriticalHumor: |
| 85 | ** He claims that nothing can scare him, and the gang spends a whole episode trying to get him to scream and to his credit he remains unfazed when even [[GenkiGirl Nikki]] starts losing it. [[spoiler:But when faced with the Quartermaster's sex dungeon full of old people? He ScreamsLikeALittleGirl.]] |
| 86 | ** As much as he complains about summer camp, he was clearly paying attention in some of the activities, at least in knitting and knot-tying. |
| 87 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Inverted, at least in his first appearance in which he [[VirtueIsWeakness scoffs at the concept of making friends]]. |
| 88 | * InkSuitActor: Aside from a difference in skin tone and hair color, Max is [[https://twitter.com/RoosterTeeth/status/1164222380153221120 pretty much]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BjsUy_RDuO6/ a child-sized Michael Jones.]] |
| 89 | * InSeriesNickname: Gwen refers to him as "little shit." Sometimes it's even endearing. |
| 90 | * JerkassBall: "Gwen Gets a Job" is probably the nastiest Max has ever been; he {{blackmail}}s Gwen with the intention of getting her fired. He even gives her hope by telling her to get him something, ''without telling her what it is''. |
| 91 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He's one of the nastiest kids in Camp Campbell, but he can sound arguments. |
| 92 | * JerkassRealization: |
| 93 | ** In "Nikki's Last Day on Earth," he's the sole kid at camp who doesn't believe that Nikki's actually dying. Preston's play about Nikki's death (starring Nerris playing him) makes him realize that the other campers believe he wouldn't care if Nikki actually ''were'' dying. It's the first time we see Max uncomfortable with the way other people view him. He apologizes and helps Nikki set up a Viking funeral for herself as a way of making amends. |
| 94 | ** Again in "The Candy Kingpin", after manipulating Dolph into a "friendship" so they could use Dolph's candy supply to control the camp. Dolph calls him out over it since Dolph genuinely wanted to be ''friends'' with Max, stating that he now knows not to makes similar "friendships" in the future. Max is so shaken that he outright ''confesses the scam to David and takes '''all''' the blame'' just to get David involved to help Dolph. |
| 95 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The "Jerk" part is more prominent given that he's rude, selfish, devious, etc. However, he can be a decent friend sometimes and he has his likable moments. For example [[spoiler: in the season one finale, he single-handedly saves David's Sparrow ceremony and even gets the rest of the apathetic campers to pitch in. Although he claims he only did it so that David wouldn't kill himself or shoot up the camp]]. |
| 96 | * KarmicTrickster: Has his moments in Season 3: |
| 97 | ** In "The Fun-Raiser", he [[spoiler:exposes David and Gwen's scheme to steal the Quartermaster's hook and use it to raise money for the camp, while simultaneously using the opportunity to raise the money himself]]. |
| 98 | ** And then in "The Lake Lilac Summer Social", [[spoiler:he and Nikki cause Gwen's matchmaking antics to bite her in the ass by declaring her and [[NauseaFuel Jermy]] homecoming queen and king]]. |
| 99 | ** In "Cameron Campbell the Camp Campbell Camper", Cameron Campbell tries to recruit him to frame David for his crimes. Max pretends to agree and switches his hidden microphone back on, tricking Campbell into confessing his plan to frame David, as well as several other crimes he has done, to the government agents. |
| 100 | * KickTheDog: His blackmailing of Gwen in "Gwen Gets a Job". He had no reason to do it and she's almost as cynical as he is. He just felt like getting her fired. [[spoiler:He thankfully [[LaserGuidedKarma suffers]] for it.]] |
| 101 | * KiddieKid: Not for the most part, but there are a few things he tries to keep hidden about himself that would generally be expected of a younger child: at ten years old he's still quite attached to [[spoiler: his teddy bear, Mr. Honeynuts]], and [[spoiler: he doesn't know how to swim]]. |
| 102 | * LittleMissSnarker: GenderInverted. He's a young boy and he is highly sarcastic. |
| 103 | * ManipulativeBastard: He's good at playing with people like they're his puppets. Campbell even lampshades it via calling him a "skilled manipulator" in one episode. |
| 104 | * MisanthropeSupreme: While he's clearly a human himself, "Order of the Sparrow" reveals Max has a low opinion of humanity. [[spoiler: Possibly justified, given his awful upbringing]]. |
| 105 | * MouthyKid: Takes every opportunity he can to mouth off about how much he hates camp. |
| 106 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the season one finale, [[spoiler:after he gives David a mean-spirited BreakingSpeech about how no one cares about his camp, he's visibly ashamed of the effect his words have had on David and tries to take it back.]] |
| 107 | * NoFullNameGiven: Max's last name has yet to be mentioned. Even the sign-up sheet for camp his parents filled out only has "Max" on it (though it should be noted that very few characters have had surnames mentioned, so this is not necessarily something intended to be read into). |
| 108 | * NoSocialSkills: Not normally, but due to his cynicism and poor childhood Max has no idea what to do when he actually somewhat cares about someone. When Nikki cries and he feels guilty, he's way out of his depth and just stammers out, "Hey... you... don't... tears?" and only gets a handle on it when he insults other people on her behalf. |
| 109 | * OnlySaneMan: Compared to David, Nikki, and most of the campers, he's pretty grounded. |
| 110 | --> '''David''': Tell 'em just how much you love it, Max!\ |
| 111 | '''Max''': See, that's the sad thing; he still actually thinks that I love it. |
| 112 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 113 | ** In the season 1 finale, [[spoiler:upon finally breaking David, Max actually feels bad and realizes he's either pushing David to suicide or mass murder. This causes him to actually break his cynical persona and fix the damage he's done for the first time.]] |
| 114 | ** It takes Max declaring his love of Daniel to finally get David to fire the guy. |
| 115 | ** In the Season 2 finale, [[spoiler:he's actually on the verge of crying when he sees the other kids having a good time with their parents, as it reminds him how little his own parents care about him.]] |
| 116 | * ParentalNeglect: Snarky throwaway comments have him claim that his parents just sent him to camp because they didn't want to deal with him. [[spoiler:It's only in "Parents Day" where it's [[CerebusRetcon treated with real dramatic weight]] and revealed how painful this is for him. They didn't even sign him up for a camp activity, they just wanted him gone.]] |
| 117 | * PerpetualFrowner: He almost never smiles, unless he's giving a snarky remark or something bad happens to another person (usually David). Mischief like rewriting David's Tinder account, on the other hand, makes him light up like a Christmas tree. |
| 118 | * RebelliousSpirit: During the uprising in episode 4, he spouts off lines about revolution, free men, and the 99%. |
| 119 | -->'''Max''': You're gonna get taken advantage of by the 1%! Rage against the machine, fight the power, 9/11!\ |
| 120 | '''Dolph''': Progressive buzzwords can't save you now! |
| 121 | ** His catapult boulder in episode 2 is painted to say "FUCK THE POLICE". |
| 122 | * TheReveal: All of the other campers had the camps they signed up for revealed very early on in the show. Whatever Max was signed up for is never even mentioned in passing. The season two finale reveals [[spoiler:that his parents didn't bother signing him up for any camp activity, they just wanted him gone for the summer.]] |
| 123 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: In the second Halloween special, Max notices David acting suspicious and comes to the conclusion he's been replaced by aliens. [[spoiler:It turns out David ''was'' replaced, but by Daniel rather than aliens.]] |
| 124 | * {{Sadist}}: If him enjoying other's misfortunes says anything. |
| 125 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Downplayed. He's a fervent denier of the supernatural, so ghosts and monsters don't get a rise out of him. [[spoiler:Old people having sex, on the other hand...]] |
| 126 | * SelfProclaimedLiar: He's got shades of this; he's a ManipulativeBastard who in "Culture Day" admits to being a liar. |
| 127 | * SirSwearsALot: Despite his young age, he's probably the most vulgar character in the series. |
| 128 | * TheSnarkKnight: It's implied throughout the show that he has a messy home life, and that he's used to not being liked. His remarks about David imply that part of the reason he shows such vitriol towards him (and not towards Gwen) is that he can't stand to see someone so happy, and wants to make David feel as miserable as he does. [[spoiler:"Parents' Day" confirms that his parents didn't send him to ''any'' camp, and really don't care about him at all.]] |
| 129 | * SourOutsideSadInside: Max is deeply resentful of his parents sending him to summer camp; however, as often as he tries to escape from Camp Campbell, he never talks about going home, or mentions his family at all. In "Parents' Day", he brags that his parents don't care about showing up to stupid camp events - however, as the episode goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that [[spoiler:Max's parents aren't showing up because they really don't care about ''him.'']] |
| 130 | * StrawNihilist: In contrast to [[TheAntiNihilist David]], Max uses his nihilism as an excuse to be [[{{Jerkass}} a douche]]. [[spoiler:Though, this is [[FreudianExcuse mainly because]] [[ParentalNeglect his parents don't care about him]].]] |
| 131 | * TookALevelInIdealism: While he's still a nihilistic jerkass, Max starts to warm up to the camp as the series goes along. This is perhaps most noticeable in the Season 3 premiere, where he [[spoiler:voluntarily helps to save the camp, a far cry from the Max in Season 1, who would have gladly let the camp shut down.]] |
| 132 | * TookALevelInKindness: By season 3, he's a lot more empathetic. He apologizes to Nikki for trivializing her feeling about dying, stating that while he doesn't really believe that she's dying, it doesn't justify hurting her feelings. And even he doesn't have the heart to tell David that [[spoiler:his friend Jasper is dead]]. |
| 133 | * TroubledAbuser: He mistreats David (most notably in the first season) and in "The Candy Kingpin" serves as a textbook toxic friend to Dolph. [[spoiler:However, he has the occassional crack in his mask revealing that he is in many ways SourOutsideSadInside, due to his previously-mentioned ParentalNeglect]]. |
| 134 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Aside from the swearing, he has a cynical, nihilistic, bordering on hateful outlook on life and almost everyone in it. Max is also hinted to be an underage drinker in the HalloweenEpisode. In short, he's really just a miserable kid whose only recourse is to make everyone else feel like him. |
| 135 | * {{Tsundere}}: A male, spicy/harsh type; he's usually grumpy, [[StrawNihilist cynical]], and rude. But he does have a nice side deep down. When he shows it though, he usually quickly backtracks into his usual persona. [[spoiler: David is always touched. Max, not so much]]. |
| 136 | -->'''Max''': ''Do not look too deeply into this!'' |
| 137 | * UngratefulBastard: Sometimes shows this. In "The Candy Kingpin" for instance, when Dolph paints him a picture, he responds with this: |
| 138 | -->'''Max:''' ''Oh'', that garbage is not going in the tent. |
| 139 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He's nasty, self-centered, one of the main characters, and misfortune can be on his tail. |
| 140 | * VirtueIsWeakness: When we meet him in the first episode, he pooh-poohs the concept of making friends. |
| 141 | * VocalDissonance: His voice is a tad deep and mature for someone his age. |
| 142 | * VocalEvolution: His voice becomes fairly nasal and sounds slightly younger as the series goes on. |
| 143 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: The most knowledgeable of the three, staying philosophical but cynical as he sees his world tumble down in Camp Campbell. |
| 144 | * WhenHeSmiles: [[spoiler:His sour facade finally cracks at the end of the first season, and it's adorable.]] |
| 145 | ** Season 2 shows Max has at least one major weakness: [[spoiler:his teddy bear, Mr. Honeynuts.]] |
| 146 | ** In Season 4 he spends practically an entire episode [[CutenessProximity completely starry-eyed over Missy the dog]]. |
| 147 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His response after seeing that David's vacation from Camp Campbell, [[spoiler:is to simply go camping outside Camp Campbell]]. |
| 148 | [[/folder]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[folder:Nikki]] |
| 151 | !!Nicolette, a.k.a. Nikki |
| 152 | [[quoteright:302:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nikki_camp_camp.png]] |
| 153 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ElizabethMaxwell |
| 154 | |
| 155 | A new arrival at Camp Campbell who went under the impression that she was attending an adventure camp. A self-described "agent of chaos" who, unlike her male counterparts, seems to enjoy her time at camp. |
| 156 | ---- |
| 157 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Her fascination with Ered certainly comes off as this, especially in "Ered Gets her Cool Back". See HeroWorship below. |
| 158 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Easily controlled by cat videos. |
| 159 | * BalloonBelly: In "Night of the Living Ill", Nikki eats some dehydrated food from Campbell's basement that instantly bloats her up. Not that she noticed. |
| 160 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: The only time we see her really lose her temper is in "Nikki's Last Day On Earth," when Max brushes off her claims that she's dying. The sight of Nikki truly ''furious'' scares even Max. |
| 161 | * BigEater: She's got by far the biggest portion of food in the mess hall portion of the title sequence. In "Nikki's Last Day on Earth", she clears an entire tableful of food. |
| 162 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: She seems to have no idea what sex is. Her dad's jokes about "hookers and blow" go over her head, she acts as though holding hands is something risque, and [[spoiler:when she saw her mom hooking up with Neil's dad, she just assumed they were wrestling. She also has no idea what a period is (beyond knowing her mother sometimes suffers from "lady sickness") and doesn't know what's going on when she has her first one]]. |
| 163 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She clearly lives on her own planet. |
| 164 | * ChaoticStupid: She is Chaotic but also stupid since she thought that Jasper is a T-800. |
| 165 | * DefectorFromDecadence: She used to be a Flower Scout, but found it too girly and restrictive for her likings. [[spoiler:Except that's not true; the Flower Scouts ran her off after she showed her tomboyish side because they're all concerned with appearances and boys and thought Nikki was a social pariah.]] |
| 166 | * EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: Her dance move of choice in "Camp Cool Kidz" is a sort of Peanuts-esque Running Man. |
| 167 | * ExpressiveHair: Her pigtails either droop or rise when she is sad or excited respectively, such as when she thought a rock that Space Kid had was a meteorite in "''Quartermaster Appreciation Day''". |
| 168 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: When the platypus corners her and the rest of the kids on the pier, Nikki declares, "I want a viking funeral! Light me up!" When she's MistakenForDying in season 3, she just sets up her schedule for her last day. |
| 169 | * GamerChick: She reveals in "Anti-Social Network" that she loves to play VideoGames on computers. |
| 170 | * GenkiGirl: She's happy, hyperactive, and perpetually destructive. |
| 171 | * GirlinessUpgrade: [[spoiler:Her entrance to Camp Campbell is actively an inversion towards the Flower Scouts.]] |
| 172 | * GrowingUpSucks: Sees growing up as a FateWorseThanDeath, if her comments to Gwen are anything to go by. [[spoiler:Then subverted when she learns what a period actually entails, as she thinks it's awesome that she can now bleed for days on end without dying.]] |
| 173 | * HeroicBSOD: The sight of [[spoiler:the torture dungeon on Spooky Island]] makes her lose her cheerful demeanor ''fast''. |
| 174 | * HeroWorship: Towards Ered, who's nothing short of indifferent or manipulative towards her. |
| 175 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: She shrugs off injury pretty easily, and merely finds it funny when it happens to others. [[spoiler:Even the possibility that Neil had been murdered in "Reigny Day" didn't seem to faze her.]] |
| 176 | %%zce* IdiotHero: |
| 177 | %%* ItAmusedMe: Her reasons for helping Max and Neil's attempted escape. |
| 178 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Neil complains about not playing a big part in Nurf's camp activity, she says they'll have their chance next week (literally because it'll be a new week of camp activities, but also because it'll be a new episode which does in fact center around the two of them). |
| 179 | ** She is also able to hear David's thoughts and respond to them with her own, which freaks him out. |
| 180 | * NatureLover: So much so that she reveals in "Order of the Sparrow" that she'd ''[[PlayedForLaughs have kids with nature]] if possible''. Granted there's some justification in that, [[spoiler: if she goes without nature for too long, she'll start to get seriously ill]]. |
| 181 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Nikki tends to display a variety of skills depending on whether or not it's funny, such as being able to communicate with animals, act like an attack dog, fly a plane, ignore gravity, utilize {{hammerspace}}, etc. |
| 182 | * NiceGirl: She's hyperactive, naive and can be a bit annoying, but when compared to Max and Neil she's most definitely the nicest of the three. |
| 183 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: [[spoiler: The second character, after Gwen, to avert this. When she starts suffering cramps, mood swings, and food cravings after drinking one of Neil's chemistry experiments, she's convinced that she's dying and starts to give herself a Viking funeral before Gwen talks her down]]. |
| 184 | * OutdoorsyGal: Spoofed. Being deprived of nature causes her to become physically ill to the point of coughing up blood. Her hair and clothes somehow become girlier as well. The cure is for her to roll around in the dirt. |
| 185 | * PetMonstrosity: She seems to have a thing for dangerous animals. The more dangerous, the more she wants to keep one as a pet. |
| 186 | * ThePollyanna: Arguably the ideal child for the current Camp Campbell, after she abandoned the Flower Scouts. |
| 187 | * PrecisionFStrike: |
| 188 | ** Nikki was the only one of the main trio who never swore until Season 2's "Space Camp Is a Hoax", where she said "motherfucker", albeit [[CurseCutShort cut offed]]. |
| 189 | *** One could also count the ending of "Jermy Fartz", where she understands why the rest of the campers were put off by Jermy's "bundle of sticks" costume. This was also [[CurseCutShort cut off]]. |
| 190 | --> "Oh, I get it; he was a fa-" |
| 191 | ** She finally swears fully (albeit a mild one) in Season 3's "Ered Gets Her Cool Back", where she cries, "It's not [Ered's] time, dammit!", and later, "Just cut the bullcrap, Doc!" |
| 192 | * RaisedByWolves: She's working on it. She once listed "pee on stuff" as one of her life ambitions. |
| 193 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Inverted. Her eyes are a shade of pink and her hair is green, and she becomes a part of the misfits in the first episode. |
| 194 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Is fully capable of turning a [[SavageWolves crazed wolf]] into a loyal animal within a few seconds of talking to him. Also attempts to speak with squirrels in "Quest to Sleepy Peak Peak", although this only seems to briefly confuse the squirrels before they attack. |
| 195 | * TechnicolorEyes: They're ''pink.'' |
| 196 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Given that Camp Campbell is closest to what she wanted, Nikki is perfectly happy to be there, as can be seen by her being all smiles and dancing along in the intro. The only reason she helps Max and Neil escape is because [[ItAmusedMe she finds it fun]], and the main reason she goes against David and Gwen sometimes is because like any kid she doesn't always want to do what adults want her to. |
| 197 | * {{Tomboy}}: She was excited about going to "adventure camp", is covered in band-aids, bruises and scrapes, and bites David to "assert dominance". |
| 198 | * ToonPhysics: Nikki regularly displays the ability to disregard physics by RuleOfFunny, ignoring gravity in particular like freezing in midair, and regularly shrugging off injuries that would be serious for other characters like diving headfirst off a cliff when trying to get a box of candy. |
| 199 | * TwoGuysAndAGirl: Actually a part of ''two'': she's a member of the main one with Max and Neil, and as "New Adventure!" demonstrates, she's also a part of an offscreen one with Nerris and Dolph. |

| 204 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neil.png]] |
| 205 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YuriLowenthal |
| 206 | |
| 207 | A new arrival at Camp Campbell who went under the impression that it was a science camp. Timid on the surface, but occasionally displays a dismissive and vulgar side. |
| 208 | ---- |
| 209 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: He accidentally creates an advanced artificial intelligence using outdated calculators to program a chat box. |
| 210 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: He becomes the camp's center of attention with his very loosely accurate retelling of Hanukkah's history. He becomes insufferable almost immediately. |
| 211 | --> '''Max''': [[SarcasmMode Nice to see all this hasn't gone to your head, Neil.]] |
| 212 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: He certainly views his dad as such. The majority of his father's dialogue is accompanied by Neil {{Face Palm}}ing. |
| 213 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: While Neil is shown to be much more level-headed than Max and Nikki, he is prone to going on very passionate rants when he loses his temper. In the first episode, the rant is directed at Cameron Campbell himself after he sees the Camp's poor excuse for a laboratory. In the third episode, [[spoiler:it is delivered towards the Flower Scouts after he discovers that Nikki got kicked out for being a tomboy and that they think men are only men if they're butch.]] |
| 214 | * BigShutUp: Gives one to Harrison in "Mind Freakers". |
| 215 | --> YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH, HARRISON! |
| 216 | * ButtMonkey: Best shown during the title sequence where almost every camp activity he's in is shown to be going very badly for him. |
| 217 | * CountryMatters: Drops a C-Bomb [[spoiler:onto the Flower Scouts after they reveal that they ran Nikki out of the group because she's a tomboy who likes bugs and playing outdoors, which they saw as social suicide, as well as thinking all men should be butch and rugged.]] |
| 218 | * DisguisedInDrag: Happens by accident in episode 3 where the stuff he collects on his head while in the lake allows him to pass as a girl for a while. |
| 219 | * GadgeteerGenius: |
| 220 | ** Repairs a ham radio in seconds during episode 8, and impresses the store owner so much that he gets hired on the spot, complete with 401K. |
| 221 | ** He builds a bunch of chatbots out of old graphing calculators. [[spoiler:And those chatbots somehow become ''[[ArtificialIntelligence artificially intelligent]]''.]] |
| 222 | * GeekPhysiques: The Skinny variety. |
| 223 | * GenreSavvy: |
| 224 | ** He advises Max not to accompany the Quartermaster in episode two, referring to him as "the bad guy from every horror movie ever." |
| 225 | ** Upon realizing [[spoiler:his chatbot somehow became self-aware]], he immediately realizes that AIIsACrapshoot and starts destroying instances of it before it becomes a problem. |
| 226 | * HardOnSoftScience: He shows nothing but contempt for his father, a professor of philosophy. |
| 227 | * HiddenDepths: He's actually one of the better actors in Preston's play. Not that that's saying much. |
| 228 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He takes to the Flower Scouts like a duck to water while posing as "Neeancy". [[spoiler:He ultimately chooses to side with the decidedly un-feminine Nikki after the revelation that the Scouts ran her off for being a tomboy, and because they believe all guys should be tough and rugged.]] |
| 229 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He mostly sticks to the [[NiceGuy "heart of gold"]] part, [[JerkassBall but he can be pretty mean when he wants to]]. |
| 230 | * JewishAndNerdy: A raging science geek who observes the Sabbath. |
| 231 | * MadScientist: While mostly level-headed, Neil will do some pretty crazy things in the name of science, including using Nikki as a human test tube, stealing people's blood while they sleep, and [[spoiler:accidentally creating artificial life]]. His first reaction to a supposed fish monster is to try and experiment on it. |
| 232 | * MamasBoy: Implied. For Neil, Parents' Day being fun was dependent on which parent showed up, and his father was most certainly not the one he wanted to come. The fact that Neil's father doesn't really know much about Neil's interest also implies that he lives with his mother most of the time. |
| 233 | ** He also briefly mentions his parents in episode 3, saying that his mom was the one who sent him to Camp Campbell. |
| 234 | --> I think I'll go to my dad's house and tell him that Mom sent me to an abusive summer camp. Pretend to like him more so she'll try to buy back my love. |
| 235 | * MyBelovedSmother: When each of the campers is tasked with [[EggSitting taking care of a platypus egg]], most of them take on what are likely the characteristics of their own parents. Neil quickly becomes smothering and overprotective of his egg, implying that's how his mother raised him. When he [[AndCallHimGeorge hugs his egg so hard it breaks]], he realizes it as [[LampshadeHanging "some kind of poignant metaphor."]] [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out that none of the kids except Max were copying their own parents, and Neil probably isn't either.]] |
| 236 | * SirSwearsALot: Not quite as often as Max, but if he's riled up, he proves to have the foulest mouth of anyone in the show. |
| 237 | -->Y'all are some ignorant fucking cunts. |
| 238 | * AWizardDidIt: [[BerserkButton Has no tolerance]] for Harrison's magic, and became obsessed with proving him as a fraud - [[ForScience with science]]. |

| 246 | [[quoteright:284:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/david_wiki.png]] |
| 247 | [[caption-width-right:284:David as a Camp Counselor]] |
| 248 | [[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/camper_david.png]] |
| 249 | [[caption-width-right:188:David as a Camper]] |
| 250 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MilesLuna |
| 251 | |
| 252 | An overly enthusiastic counselor who attended Camp Campbell as a child and seems to be ignorant of both the poor state of the camp and the misery of the campers. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: |
| 255 | ** Despite his major CloudCuckooLander tendencies, he somehow manages to run a summer camp. He hasn't been fired, despite his lack of qualifications, his decision to appoint [[AdolfHitlarious Dolph]] counselor for the day works out perfectly, and his attempt to get [[MisanthropeSupreme Max]] to make friends actually pays off - when Max bonds with Neil and Nikki while trying to steal a bus and escape. |
| 256 | ** He's even managed to teach Max, who hates his guts, a thing or two about camping, judging by the surprising variety of skills Max has picked up at Camp Campbell. |
| 257 | * AmazonChaser: Inadvertently, after Max sets him up on a date with a huge muscle-bound lady named Bonquisha on Tindr they go on to have an actual (offscreen) relationship. |
| 258 | * TheAntiNihilist: In the season 1 finale, David acknowledges that nobody, up to and including the camp's founder, cares as much about Camp Campbell as he does. That's precisely why he won't stop trying to make it better. Because somebody has to. |
| 259 | * ArmorPiercingResponse: In reply to Max's [[spoiler:BreakingSpeech in the season 1 finale. When Max demands to know why David doesn't just stop caring about Camp Campbell, David gives a short speech that culminates in this line.]] |
| 260 | -->'''David''': [[spoiler:Because somebody [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] has to.]] |
| 261 | * BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: It is revealed in ''Jasper Dies At The End'' that David used to be a cynical camper who absolutely hated Camp Campbell and had plenty of criticism of it. The events of the episode cause him to fall in love with the camp, turn a blind eye to the camp's flaws, and to become much more optimistic. |
| 262 | * BenevolentBoss: Season 3 reveals that [[spoiler:David has replaced Cameron Campbell as camp manager. Considering the parents' discovery that Campbell's neglect has resulted in the disappearance of campers in the past, it's quite telling how much they trust David to do a better job by not pulling their kids out of the camp once he promises to look after them.]] |
| 263 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's nice and friendly, but threatening his campers is a bad idea. [[spoiler:Daniel learns this the hard way.]] |
| 264 | * BrokenPedestal: By the end of Season 2, he shows signs that his love for Cameron Campbell is starting to crumble. [[spoiler:He outright defies Campbell to do something good for Max instead of trying to help the boss out, and in the following season, he appears completely unfazed that Campbell was sent to Super Guantanamo. As of "Cameron Campbell the Camp Campbell Camper", David finally acknowledges that Cameron was a sham who never really cared about anyone but himself, and abandons his admiration of the man himself in favor of improving the Camp entirely for the campers' sakes.]] |
| 265 | * ButtMonkey: Due to Max's desire to torment him for preventing him from leaving. Not a big surprise considering he's voiced by Creator/MilesLuna. |
| 266 | * CaptainOblivious: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] |
| 267 | ** He thinks Camp Campbell is a wonderful place, it's founder is a true role model, and that all of the children love being there, when the exact opposite is true. |
| 268 | ** Finally subverted [[spoiler:in the season 1 finale, when he admits that times have changed whether he likes it or not - but that doesn't mean he can give up.]] |
| 269 | ** Played horribly straight when he hires Daniel, a cultist, and never realizes he's trying to kill the campers. [[spoiler: Once Max falls under his brainwashing and becomes a cheerful, loving child, however, David immediately recognizes something as being terribly wrong.]] |
| 270 | ** Subverted again in [[spoiler: "Cameron Campbell the Camp Campbell Camper", where even he is able to see through Cameron's poor disguise, though he doesn't realize during the improv class that Cameron's trying to frame him for his own crimes, and thinks it's an ''Series/UndercoverBoss'' situation until Cameron himself states otherwise.]] |
| 271 | * CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of Season 2, he matures somewhat, and doesn't hold back what he's feeling at the moment as much as he did in Season 1. [[spoiler:He also admits that pretending things are fine when they aren't isn't helpful, but that he wants to try and make Max happy anyway, after it turns out his parents just left him at Camp Campbell.]] He's also willing to do some rather questionable things as the show goes on, with the campers pointing out that [[ToxicFriendInfluence Max has been slowly changing him]]. |
| 272 | * CrazyJealousGuy: Demonstrated in both the platonic and romantic sense. He fires Daniel when he realizes all the other campers love him, although he is oblivious to the much more important reason, that Daniel is a murderous cult leader. Later when he is dumped by Bonquisha, [[spoiler:he proceeds to punch out her new boyfriend.]] |
| 273 | -->'''Max''': WHAT HAPPENED TO FRIENDSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING?!\ |
| 274 | '''David''': Well...I did say healing takes time.\ |
| 275 | [[spoiler:''(Bonquisha's boyfriend starts to get back up. David picks up a chair to smash over his face before cutting to the credits)'']] |
| 276 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: David is a big overly optimistic goofball but when he gets stranded in the forest he actually demonstrated some competence as a woodsman, was able to set his own leg in a splint after breaking it, and survived to make it back to camp alive [[spoiler:albeit at the cost of the life of the wolf he befriended during his adventures, though only due to a ''very'' bad stroke of luck]]. |
| 277 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Tired of being beaten around the bush by the campers of Camp Campbell? [[spoiler:Take a break by camping outside of Camp Campbell.]] |
| 278 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: In the season 2 finale, he invites all the campers parents to camp for a "Parents' Day." Campbell points out to him that such an event will show the camp to the parents and they'll realize it isn't the actual camp they signed their kids up for. By the end of the episode [[spoiler:Campbell is arrested, and he swears revenge on David.]] |
| 279 | * DisappearedDad: He's heavily implied to have one, considering his idolization of Campbell. When discussing Campell's improvement with Agents Miller in "Cameron Campbell Can't Handle the Truth Serum", David describes him as like the father he never had and visibly wilts on the "never had" part. He also imagined Campbell revealing himself as his "real dad" while unconscious in the season 1 finale. |
| 280 | * TheDitz: He takes his decision making to optimistic bliss that usually ends up in smoke. He once tried testing a knife in a hardware store by sticking the end of the blade straight through his thumb, [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank the result is obviously expected]]. |
| 281 | * {{Determinator}}: No matter what, he never stops trying to instill the campers with his love for nature. [[spoiler:This is later revealed to be a mask David uses to hide how underfunded the camp has become and his attempts to make the Campers enjoy their time at the camp no matter how much they don't appreciate him for it.]] |
| 282 | ** Goofball he may be, but David is a hell of a woodsman when the chips are down. "The Forest" shows him surviving on his own for at least a couple weeks stranded in the woods, beat to a pulp, and nursing a broken leg. |
| 283 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even he couldn't find it in himself to be happy for Quartermaster after he got together with his sister Quartersister. He ''tried'', but it was too much, even for him. |
| 284 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first dialogue exposes how cheerful and optimistic he is no matter how mundane the situation is. In fact, once an episode there is a moment dedicated to reminding the audience how overly cheerful and optimistic David is. His second line about wanting the Campers to have as much fun as he did is the biggest establishing moment of David's character as [[spoiler:he knows fully well how bad the camp has become in recent years and he is using a mask of extreme cheerful optimism in hopes the campers might enjoy themselves like he did as a kid.]] |
| 285 | -->'''David''': Can you believe it Max? We're getting not ONE, not THREE, but '''TWO''' new campers today!\ |
| 286 | '''David''': All I want is for you to have as much fun as I had when I was a Campbell Camper, is that too much to ask? |
| 287 | * {{Foil}}: He's about as optimistic as Gwen is pessimistic. Unlike Gwen, he denies what the children are getting into when they go to Camp Campbell. |
| 288 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: The Gleeful to Gwen's Grumpy. |
| 289 | * GoshDangItToHeck: Possibly justified since he is trying to be a role model for the children. |
| 290 | * {{Hammerspace}}: He can pull a guitar out of one when he feels like singing. |
| 291 | * TheHeart: He tries, and mostly fails, to teach the kids the wonders of the world in a positive and uplifting ways. |
| 292 | * HeroAntagonist: To [[EnfantTerrible Max]]. And apparently unaware of it, [[spoiler:until the [[BreakingSpeech season 1 finale]].]] |
| 293 | * HeroWorship: Towards Cameron Campbell. |
| 294 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 295 | ** He's not as delusional as he seems about the state of Camp Campbell. This is further explored in a heartbreaking montage in the Season 1 finale when [[spoiler:David finally confesses he's well aware that the Campers don't care, the Staff doesn't care, the Founder (his hero) doesn't care, the camp he loves is a scam and completely unfit for the Campers, but he feels he has to keep trying against all the negativity alone because no one else tries for them placing all the burden on himself.]] |
| 296 | ** [[spoiler:When he discovers in the Season 2 finale that Max's parents don't give a crap about him and that underneath all that anger lurks a lonely kid, he's self-aware enough to realise that that pretending that everything is okay when it's really not doesn't help anybody]] |
| 297 | ** Despite what you may think of him, ''Something Fishy'' shows he does has an appreciation for the finer things like opera, and is implied to own a nice suit and "opera binoculars." |
| 298 | ** In Arrival of the Torso Takers he quotes Dark Reflections implying that he’s a fan of horror movies and shows. |
| 299 | * HypocriticalHumor: David gives a moving speech at the end of "Bonjour Bonquisha", talking about how letting go of lost love and moving on is important and mature. Moments later, [[spoiler:he punches Bonquisha's new boyfriend]]. |
| 300 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Averted as the show goes on. David is more willing to let his anger and frustrations out, and while he always has good intentions, he sometimes makes some very questionable choices. The campers suspect that [[ToxicFriendInfluence Max]] has been rubbing off on David just as much as David's been helping Max. |
| 301 | * InnocentInnuendo: David's speech about becoming tough and assertive sounds a little... rape-y. |
| 302 | --> '''David''': Look out world, I'm hard and I'm coming! Whether he likes it or not, Nurf is going to let me in!\ |
| 303 | '''Max''': [[LampshadeHanging So does he want to help Nurf, or fuck him?]] |
| 304 | * IronButtMonkey: David's run over twice by a bus and struck by his own guitar and yet comes out of it just as optimistic as before. |
| 305 | ** In season 4 he gets lost in the wilderness, goes toe-to-toe with a wolf, ''wins,'' sets his own broken leg, befriends the wolf, and fends for himself long enough to grow a full beard. |
| 306 | * {{Irony}}: He gets dumped by Bonquisha for not being manly enough, then proceeds to beat the crap out of her new lover. |
| 307 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:[[OutOfCharacterMoment Beating the absolute shit out of Bonquisha's new boyfriend]], even though he was a NiceGuy.]] |
| 308 | * KidsAreCruel: [[spoiler:Formerly; when he was a Campbell Camper himself as a child, he disliked everything about the camp, a complete opposite to his later self.]] |
| 309 | * KnightInSourArmor: The season finale reveals that [[spoiler:he's realized that Camp Campbell is a shadow of its former self,]] but [[UsefulNotes/{{Existentialism}} he refuses to stop trying]]. |
| 310 | * ManChild: His chipper attitude, naivete, and admiration for the Camp have not changed much since he first attended the camp in his youth. |
| 311 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The sweet, peppy, emotionally charged feminine boy to Gwen's snarky, somewhat violent masculine girl |
| 312 | ** Also applies to his relationship with tough, muscular Bonquisha |
| 313 | * MistakenForMurderer: The plot of "Into Town" revolves around Max believing he's finally pushed David too far. |
| 314 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His reaction to [[spoiler:accidentally hitting Nurf.]] |
| 315 | ** "Parents' Day" has him filling in as Max's surrogate dad, and he chews Max out a few times for not even trying to have fun. [[spoiler:When Gwen finds Max's file, he realizes that Max's parents didn't sign him up for ''any'' summer camp, and were just trying to get rid of him by sending him to Camp Campbell. When he realizes that he's only been reminding Max of how little his family cares, he's horrified.]] |
| 316 | * NiceGuy: To an almost insane degree. |
| 317 | * NotGoodWithRejection: When Bonquisha breaks up with him, he spends a week sobbing about every little thing that reminds him of her. Even when it seems like he's gotten over it, [[spoiler:he beats the crap out of her new boyfriend.]] |
| 318 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Not even he is able to resist the temptation of making fun of Jermy Fartz (even if said taunting was done [[GoshDangItToHeck in his usual childish manner]]). As a result of this, [[spoiler:Jermy Fartz is forced to join the Wood Scouts at the end of his debut episode.]] He also [[spoiler:violently beats up Bonquisha's new boyfriend.]] |
| 319 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the season 1 finale, [[spoiler:Max finally breaks David, causing David to show how sad and depressed about his life he really is, causing Max to genuinely feel sorry and remorseful for the first time.]] |
| 320 | ** The usually cheerful and non-violent David [[spoiler:beats the crap out of Bonquisha's new boyfriend following their breakup.]] |
| 321 | ** In the season two finale, David admitting that [[spoiler:Campbell's show and David's attempts to go along with it]] was all stupid is enough to make Max ask him if he'd okay. David then tells Max that [[spoiler:now that David knows what's going on]], he feels Max has every reason to be angry, but that David deep down feels Max deserves to be happy and is going to keep trying to help Max find that at camp, even if he wasn't doing a good job that day. |
| 322 | ** In "Arrival of the Torso Takers" the usually non-violent David [[spoiler:tackles Daniel the minute he [[PapaWolf threatens Max's life]].]] |
| 323 | * PapaWolf: [[spoiler:When Daniel threatens Max with a knife, normally non-violent David's first reaction is to tackle him.]] |
| 324 | * PartingWordsRegret: [[spoiler:"Dial M for Jasper" shows that David and Jasper had a falling out when the latter tried exposing Cameron Campbell as a fraud and getting the camp shut down, which haunts David to this day since Jasper died right afterward. However, it turns out that Cameron Campbell led David to believe Jasper simply moved away and can't get in touch with him anymore.]] |
| 325 | * ThePollyanna: Deconstructed [[spoiler:in the season finale. He finally admits that Max is right, that times have changed and that no one but him even tries to care about the camp anymore--[[{{Reconstruction}} and then explains that it's for precisely that reason that he can never give up trying to make the world a sunnier place for their sakes, whether they thank him or not.]]]] |
| 326 | * PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler:David finally lets his mask slip in Episode 12. After all the foul language we've heard from literally everyone else, that kind of language coming out of David's mouth is genuinely shocking.]] |
| 327 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Whenever he's terrified and/or injured. The one that results from being stabbed through the hand is truly spectacular. Happens again in episode 11, when he's attacked by a wolf. |
| 328 | * ShipTease: Has very minor moments of it with Gwen throughout the series. They do dance in "The Lake Lilac Summer Social" - but it's more him physically restraining her from tampering further with her campers' love lives. |
| 329 | ** They also have a couple sweet moments in "After Hours" involving Gwen getting him nasal spray, as well as his "CBFL" speech in "Gwen Gets a Job". |
| 330 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Has green eyes, red hair, and is a main character. |
| 331 | * SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: [[spoiler:He finally explains his life philosophy in the season finale - he knows everyone else has given up on the camp, but it just motivates him to try harder, because if he doesn't care, no one will.]] |
| 332 | * TeamDad: He sometimes acts like an adorkably over-enthusiastic dad, especially to Max. Which also leads to him scolding Max in a stern, dadlike fashion. The fans don't call him "Dadvid" for nothing. |
| 333 | * TheTeetotaler: {{Implied|Trope}}, with the bartender in "Into Town" mentions David "hitting his Shirley Temples [[note]] An non-alcoholic cocktail which contains lemon-lime soda such as Sprite and with grenadine syrup, served with a maraschino cherry as a garnish[[/note]] hard" Though Max thought he was some kind of a {{Domestic Abuse}}r. |
| 334 | * TraumaCongaLine: |
| 335 | ** He goes through one during the season 1 finale. He fails at making the campers act in line by bribing them with a prize (which, given [[KidsAreCruel them]], this is justified on his behalf), and when the beans spill on that the prize was actually a bonfire, he tries to show them how impressive it is in a desperate attempt at keeping them together, only to have it rain on the firewood. He then suffers a [[TearJerker pretty heart-wrenching]] "BreakThemByTalking" lecture at the hands of [[StrawNihilist Max]]. In response, David gives Max a ShutUpHannibal. Why? Because somebody [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] has to. |
| 336 | ** He goes through another on throughout season four's "The Forest" involving blacking out, going down a waterfall, getting stung by a bunch of bees, being violently attacked by a wolf, falling off a cliff, breaking his leg, spending what is probably days living in the woods nursing said broken leg, being attacked by a bear, watching the wolf he has befriended and taken care of die, and finally making back to camp...only to discover the campers hadn't really been affected by his absence. |
| 337 | * TooDumbToLive: |
| 338 | ** He once accidentally hired Daniel, a crazy cultist, to work at the camp and completely missed all evidence that he was trying to murder everyone there. The only reason he and the campers survived was that Daniel accidentally drank his own poison Kool-Aid and was driven away in an ambulance, yet David still didn't know he was a cultist and only wanted him gone because he felt his position was being threatened. |
| 339 | ** Another time when he was driving the main trio and Space Kid to the hospital, he gets so caught up in telling them all a story he doesn't realize until it is pointed out to him at the very end that they passed the hospital two hours ago ''and'' they are out of gas. |
| 340 | ** He is constantly unaware of Campbell's various illegal activities, including the camp itself, and how he tries to set up David to take the fall for him. He is nearly tricked by Campbell into confessing to doing his crimes when David thought it was all just a test for Campbell to see how well he was running the camp. He finally learns the truth when he overhears Max trick Campbell into confessing how he was trying to frame him for all his crimes. |
| 341 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: "Dial M for Jasper" reveals that [[spoiler:David is the one who gave Cameron Campbell the idea to turn the camp into a "camp camp" where kids can sign up for any program they want, thus unwittingly continuing Cameron's money laundering scheme.]] |
| 342 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Zigzagged. He used to be a [[KidsAreCruel stubborn child]] then on the inside he's a NiceGuy who loves the camp. |
| 343 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Not intentionally, at least. He's horrified when he accidentally bitchslaps Nurf. |
| 344 | * WrongGenreSavvy: He seems to be under the impression that he's in a family-friendly cartoon show. He is so ''very'' wrong. |

| 348 | !!Gwen |
| 349 | [[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gwen_0.png]] |
| 350 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/LeeEddy (Seasons 1-4), Katilin Becker ([[Recap/CampCampWithFriendsLikeThese "With Friends Like These"]] onward) |
| 351 | |
| 352 | A cynical, short tempered counselor who is frustrated by David's cheerfulness and the craziness of the campers. |
| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Cameron clearly doesn't remember (or really care) what her name is and refers to her by other names beginning with G. Becomes a RunningGag where every person who interviews her for a job calls her by every G name in the book except for Gwen. |
| 355 | * BloodKnight: As shown when she watches TV on a tablet, she's quite fond of violence. |
| 356 | * BrilliantButLazy: Gwen is ''far'' more capable than David is and can easily manage the campers. She's so burned out however that it often takes a personal investment for her to do more than the bare bones of her job. |
| 357 | * ButtMonkey: Not as much as David, but she doesn't appear to get a lot of respect, and unlike David, is fully aware of how horrible the camp really is. Also Cameron Campbell never gets her name right. |
| 358 | * CovertPervert: In the Episode 8 opening Gwen is reading a magazine entitled, "Butts and Bodices," and has a bunch of similarly-titled magazines on the table. By Season 3, she's outed as a writer of [[{{Filth}} dirty fanfiction]]. The second Halloween special reveals she owns several adult movies. |
| 359 | * TheCynic: Unlike David, she's fully aware how badly the camp sucks. |
| 360 | * DaydreamBeliever: If Max's comments are anything to go by, she seems to think ''Series/DoctorWho'' is real and is looking forward to hooking up with the Doctor. |
| 361 | * DaytimeDramaQueen: A variant. Gwen seems to be addicted to trashy reality TV shows. |
| 362 | * ADegreeInUseless: |
| 363 | ** She bemoans getting a liberal arts degree while curled up on the ground. [[note]] For those who dont know liberal arts are when a student is trying to find what they wish to major so the student takes a few 101 classes along with gen ed. [[/note]] |
| 364 | ** She dual-majored in psychology, which as Max points out, means she has TWO degrees in useless. Though it did help David vent his stress in Episode 8 [[{{Subverted}} by assessing his mental situation]]. |
| 365 | ** AND she has an associates degree (a two year course of study) in Geology as well. And many more according to her resume. |
| 366 | * DidYouJustHaveSex: She's in a suspiciously cheerful mood the morning after she encounters the fish monster. |
| 367 | * {{Foil}}: She's about as pessimistic as David is optimistic, and unlike David, she does not deny just how bad the camp is. |
| 368 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: The Grumpy to David's Gleeful. |
| 369 | * HairTriggerTemper: David attempting to sing a song is enough to make her beat him with his guitar until it ''breaks''. |
| 370 | ** Then again, she did go through quite a lot before that. From dealing with the campers to her recent anxiety attack, David trying to sing at the end may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back. |
| 371 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 372 | ** Despite clearly hating and not giving a crap about Camp Campbell, she honestly does care about the Campers, and joins David in trying to make them feel better about being shipped to a camp they didn't want. She even ordered David to take a day off. |
| 373 | ** Also, in the season 1 finale, she reveals that she can sing quite well, while she's [[PetTheDog cheering up David, with the Camp Camp Theme no less]]. |
| 374 | * IkeaErotica: Ironically, for the slashfic-loving fangirl that she is, her actual descriptions of sex are pretty disappointing. |
| 375 | -->"As he approached her with his massive, inhuman frame, she thought to herself: could I really love - a monster? (''beat'') And then they ''boned.''" |
| 376 | * InsultOfEndearment: Calls Max a little shit in an affectionate tone during the second season finale. |
| 377 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she is visibly cynical as Max is, she does show concern about David struggling to handle the campers in his stead, to the point of handling the camp by herself for one day so that David can vent all his stress by [[spoiler:going camping outside of Camp Campbell]]. At season finale, [[spoiler:she sings the Camp Campbell theme song next to the bonfire to help Max cheer David up from the cynical damage he caused.]] |
| 378 | * LadySwearsALot: Uses vulgar language as a coping mechanism to help her deal with the stress of her miserable job. Her first line in the series is ''[[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER]]!''. |
| 379 | * NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: She eventually gets a relaxing, high-paying desk job at Camp Corp. but she finds it so boring that she works with Max and Campbell to get the camp restarted. [[StatusQuoIsGod She goes right back to hating her job once she gets it, though]]. |
| 380 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted in episode 2 where she's mostly out of the episode due to being "under the weather", as David puts it. Nikki prefers the term "Lady-sickness". |
| 381 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite her OnlySaneEmployee traits, she gets into her own shenanigans now and again. It gets to the point where in "Lake Lilac Summer Social", ''[[TheDitz David]]'' of all people is acting as the level-headed one. |
| 382 | * OnlySaneEmployee: She is the only person who understands the details of running a camp well enough to keep Camp Camp afloat, all while wrangling a group of hyperactive and danger-prone kids. |
| 383 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the Season 2 finale, after grabbing Max's camp file, she tries, calmly and without any snarky commentary, to tell David [[spoiler:that Max's parents didn't sign him up for any activity]]. |
| 384 | * PetTheDog: |
| 385 | ** In the first season finale, [[spoiler:she sings a smoother version of David's camp song after doing her best to stop him from singing it in the series premiere in an attempt to cheer him up.]] |
| 386 | ** When she believes Jermy Fartz may be special needs, she immediately pulls the main three aside and reprimands them for picking on him. It turns out Jermy isn't developmentally challenged at all, but it's the thought that counts. |
| 387 | ** After David's heartbroken by Bonquisha dumping him, Gwen acts very comforting to him despite him being mopey for days. |
| 388 | ** In the second season finale, [[spoiler:she and David take Max out for pizza when they find out how neglectful his parents really are. It's also the one where her calling Max a "Little Shit" is an AffectionateNickname.]] |
| 389 | * ShipperOnDeck: She decides to be this during "The Lake Lilac Summer Social." Her only experience is from writing slashfic. It goes exactly as well as you'd expect. |
| 390 | * ShipTease: Has very minor moments of it with David throughout the series. |
| 391 | * StatusQuoIsGod: In "Camp Corp.", [[spoiler:she leaves her job as a camp councilor for a high-paying, low-work office job. After realising that she misses the camp, she goes back to her old job, but is shown to hate it just as much as before.]] |
| 392 | * TeamMom: Albeit more reluctantly as part of her job, she does show genuine concern for David and the campers, even joining David in [[spoiler:taking Max out for pizza when they learn how neglectful his parents are.]] |
| 393 | * TechnicolorEyes: They're purple. |
| 394 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Trashy reality shows. In "Camp Cool Kidz" Gwen is completely entranced by a tablet showing reality shows as the kids take over, and nearly destroy the camp. |
| 395 | -->'''Gwen''': *gasp* Trash Teeveeeeeeee... |
| 396 | * YouSexyBeast: In addition to her butt fascination, Gwen also apparently has a thing for monster-boning. [[spoiler: When the fish-monster she'd been mooning over for an episode turns into a classically beautiful man after they kiss, she ''immediately'' loses all interest.]] |

| 408 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShannonMcCormick |
| 409 | |
| 410 | The stoic groundskeeper of Camp Campbell. |
| 411 | ---- |
| 412 | * AcquiredPoisonImmunity: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] when he drinks fruit punch mixed with rat poison and doesn't seem affected by it, with the heavy implication [[BeenThereShapedHistory he was one of the people at the People's Temple]]. |
| 413 | -->'''Quartermaster:''' Was better at Film/{{Jonestown}}. |
| 414 | * AnAesop: Spoofed. Max gets the impression that the Quartermaster was trying to teach him ''something'' about nature by murdering the squirrel king and usurping his throne, but exactly what the hell he was trying to get across is a mystery. |
| 415 | * TheAgeless: He hasn't changed a bit since David was a camper. |
| 416 | ** Also hasn't aged since his stint in the trenches of World War 1. |
| 417 | * AlienGeometries: According to him, there are five cardinal directions. |
| 418 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: On one hand, "Quartermaster Appreciation Day" gives some unsettling hints regarding him, such as him telling David he'll betray them all when opportunity arises and the box Space Kid opens making him say "The Master must not be made whole again" in backwards speech. On the other, he stops an apocalypse in "The Quarter-Moon Convergence" and apparently does so regularly, and [[spoiler:the octopus creature refers to him as " eternal custodian"]]. That said however, the averting the apocalypse part may simply be for pragmatic reasons, as his given reason for why the Earth shouldn't be destroyed is simply "All my stuff is there." |
| 419 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: At first. It's since become apparent that he's more of a HumanoidAbomination, with the only ambiguity being if he was ever human to begin with and what exactly he is now. |
| 420 | ** He doesn't age, wields demonic magic in his spare time, and is completely unaffected by things like poison, radioactive waste, and fire. |
| 421 | ** Space Kid's reversed dialogue when he opens a box in his store[[note]]"The master must not be made whole again."[[/note]] further implies he's no ordinary human. |
| 422 | ** [[spoiler:The octopus in a suit calls him "eternal custodian" and has apparently been persuaded by him to not destroy the world before. Note that QM described the event that brought the [=OiaS=] to earth only happens once a millennia]]. |
| 423 | ** When he's seemingly killed by squirrels, [[spoiler:he reappears no worse for the wear at the end of the episode, with only the corpse left behind as proof that he did actually die]]. |
| 424 | ** [[spoiler:His human hand, and possible other parts of his body, was stolen from a fresh corpse and attached to himself. He also heavily implies that he's been through multiple bodies before]]. |
| 425 | * AudibleSharpness: His hook. |
| 426 | * AxCrazy: |
| 427 | ** After he accidentally kills the squirrel king with his hook, he starts beating the other woodland creatures into submission so he can become their king. Even ''Max'' is horrified. |
| 428 | ** According to him, he "doesn't suffer [his] enemies to live." |
| 429 | * BestialityIsDepraved: He had sex with a fish at some point. |
| 430 | * BodyBackupDrive: Seems to be his form of immortality. After he's killed by the squirrels, he rises out from the lake later and calmly disposes of his own corpse. |
| 431 | * BondageIsBad: A clearly creepy dude who [[spoiler:has an equally creepy sex dungeon. It all seems consensual, mind you.]] |
| 432 | * CainAndAbel: He has an incredibly strained relationship with his Quartersister. The second they see each other they break out fighting. Then they become romantically involved. [[spoiler:Then it's implied he murders her to win a tontine, with the added implication that he's done it to someone else.]] |
| 433 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: The Quartermaster Store, his personal [[StealthPun quarters]], are filled with all sorts of weird things. This includes a puzzle with only corner pieces, "used" Barbie dolls, some sort of demonic box, and plastic bags full of hair (even a tuft of Nikki's hair, creepily enough). |
| 434 | * CosmicHorrorStory: As the series went on, it came more and more obvious that the Quartermaster could very well also be a character from the Franchise/CthulhuMythos. |
| 435 | * DayInTheLimelight: ''The Quarter-Moon Convergence'' in season 4, along with Harrison to a lesser degree. |
| 436 | * DirtyOldMan: |
| 437 | ** He hosts lewd orgies in the sex dungeon of Cameron Campbell's summer house and is even sexually attracted to his own sister. According to Gwen, the Quartermaster has contracted every known STD, presumably from all the constant sex he had. |
| 438 | ** When hunting the fish monster in the lake, he finds Gwen's journal and quickly deduces that she has a filthy imagination. And then keeps reading. |
| 439 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He has two moments in "Mascot". At the beginning of the episode, he's shown lugging around what appears to be a dead body while Neil and Nikki point out how scary he is. Later, he takes Max to a hidden glade with the squirrel king; after Max is taken with the site's beauty, the Quartermaster inadvertently kills the squirrel king while trying to declare it the new mascot, then takes his crown and starts beating up woodland creatures while declaring "I AM THE KING NOW! THE THRONE IS MINE!" All of this serves to establish him as being an utterly batshit psycho who everyone is afraid of. |
| 440 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone just calls him Quartermaster. According to him, it’s because he had his identity stolen so he no longer has a name. |
| 441 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; initially it looks like he is one when he shows Max the clearing filled with happy animals in the forest. Then he [[BlackComedy accidentally spears the king of the squirrels with his hook and starts punching the lights out of the other woodland creatures]], although by the end of the episode he seems to have become their new king. |
| 442 | * HookHand: Even used in the "safety first" poster. He carries a large range of other things that he can replace it with, such as a holder for a bottle of booze, a candle, a bow, a guitar pick, [[spoiler:[[BreadEggsMilkSquick a massive pink dildo]]]]... By the end of "Quartermaster Appreciation Day" [[spoiler:it switches to the other side of his body after his Quartersister and the Mess Hall vanish in a burst of light. It's not an animation goof either, since "Parents' Day" shows it still on his left hand instead of his right.]] |
| 443 | ** Also originally had a second hook on his other hand... until he goaded a British soldier to go into No Mans Land during World War One by saying the Germans had been insulting his girlfriend, and then stealing "Righty" when it's blown off the soldier's body. |
| 444 | * HumanoidAbomination: It's not entirely clear what he is, but he clearly isn't human being apparently extremely old aged, magically endowed and having weird quirks to his anatomy. |
| 445 | --> '''Quartermaster:''' *Having just attached a hand to one of his stumps* This body's coming along nicely. |
| 446 | * HumanResources: He used to have two hook hands before he pulled a UriahGambit on another soldier during one of the world wars and took his right hand after he died. His comment immediately afterwards implies that this is how he got ''all'' of his human parts and that he's gone through multiple bodies before. |
| 447 | * InbredAndEvil: In "Quartermaster Appreciation Day," his response to Max's question as to how he and his sister are related (besides the obvious), is him bluntly replying [[KissingCousins "Cousins]] [[PrecisionFStrike fucked."]] Implying that he comes from an inbred family with [[KissingCousins his parents being cousins]]. It's not too far-fetched for this to be the case considering the... ''[[VillainousIncest disturbing]]'' [[BrotherSisterIncest relationship]] he has with his sister. |
| 448 | * InSeriesNickname: Gwen sometimes calls him QM. |
| 449 | * KlingonPromotion: How he becomes king of the woodland creatures. |
| 450 | * MistakenForMurderer: Played with. [[spoiler:He kills animals without a second thought, but he doesn't kill Max despite the camper's fears. And there's also the matter of that giant bloody sack he was dragging across the ground towards the beginning of "Mascot"...]] |
| 451 | * MysteriousPast: He tries poisoned punch at one point and his only comment is "Mm. Was better at [[CultColony Jonestown]]." |
| 452 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Upon finding out Gwen and David stole his hook-hand, he switches to a boxing glove attachment and proceeds to beat the living shit out of them on stage. |
| 453 | * NoodleIncident: |
| 454 | ** We don't know how he lost his hand because his answer to Max when he asks is an incoherent mumble. All we know is that he claims that it has something to do with "the Jews". |
| 455 | ** During "New Adventure!" he's transporting shadow monsters in the camp bus. We never get an explanation as to what they are or what he's doing with them. |
| 456 | ** His "thinking cave" was once occupied by a demon. In the same sentence he mentions this, he says it's no longer a problem. |
| 457 | * NoRespectGuy: He's persuaded the Octopus in a Suit to spare the Earth on more than one occasion, works to keep the archlord Xoz'gaz shackled, and may have reversed the end times after Sleepy Peak Peak's eruption. He's possibly immortal, definitely inhuman, and wields genuine magic. He's also been tied up by children, had his mashed potatoes insulted, and sent on all manner of menial errands. |
| 458 | * RacistGrandpa: Angrily mumbles something about "the Jews" in regards to losing his hand. On the other hand, he apparently hates that the "white man thinks he owns the world." |
| 459 | * ShoutOut: His character is slowly becoming just one walking personification of the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu Mythos]]; the inbreeding, pacts with cosmic horrors, blasphemous rituals, fornicating with sea-life, it’s all there. |
| 460 | * TheStoic: He doesn't emote much and he usually talks in a low growl. |
| 461 | * STDImmunity: InvertedTrope. He doesn't have to worry about [=STD=]s, and neither does his Quartersister, "because you both have all of them. There are no new ones for you to get." |
| 462 | * {{Tontine}}: Is part of one, alongside his Quartersister and two others (one of whom is already dead). This is such a ForgottenTrope that none of the other characters have any idea what he's talking about. |
| 463 | * VillainousIncest: His... relationship with his Quartersister shows just how depraved he can really be. [[spoiler:Especially since he may or may not have killed her to win a tontine.]] |
| 464 | * WhenHeSmiles: His big toothy grin, despite it being because he was on a date with his Quartersister, is an adorable contrast to his usual scowl. |
| 465 | * WouldHitAGirl: When he discovers that David and Gwen were the ones that stole his hook hand, his response is to grab Gwen around the neck and choke her, then proceed to viciously beat both of the counselors in retribution for the theft. |

| 470 | [[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cameron_campbell.png]] |
| 471 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TravisWillingham |
| 472 | |
| 473 | The morally ambiguous founder and manager of Camp Campbell. |
| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * AlliterativeName: '''Cam'''eron '''Cam'''pbell. And his middle initial is C. |
| 476 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: |
| 477 | ** He's done something that gives the feds a reason to shoot on sight, but what exactly he's guilty of is unclear. |
| 478 | ** Maybe a bit less 'ambiguous' after he goes in his safe and you can see two sets of books ([[Film/TheProducers one marked to show the IRS, other not to]]), [[NaziGold bars of gold with Nazi stamps]], a bag marked "1 kilo", etc. |
| 479 | ** Loses the ambiguous part when he tries to kill a young David for witnessing [[spoiler:Jasper's assumed death]]. |
| 480 | ** He posed as the prime minister of Thailand to use the country as his own piggy bank, conned a bunch of Russian oligarchs out of a shitton of money and did... something to the North Koreans of such magnitude that all three nations decided to send assassins after him. And that's not even counting what he did in [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Kentucky]]. |
| 481 | * BeingEvilSucks: Played with during Season 4 where he admits that while he doesn't regret his criminal actions he has grown tired of his illegal ways and wants to be better. He also admits that while he does want to feel bad about his prior crimes, he simply doesn't. |
| 482 | * [[BlackComedyRape Black Comedy]] RapeAsBackStory: "Father never hugged me and Uncle Cluck hugged me too much!" |
| 483 | * BrokenPedestal: As of Season 3, he [[spoiler:becomes this to David after Max makes it clear that Campbell's intention for coming to the camp was to pitch the blame onto him]]. |
| 484 | ** It's slowly being built back up due to his HeelFaceTurn during Season 4, but there's clearly a lot of work left to do. |
| 485 | * ChildHater: He views children as nightmarish monstrosities and is genuinely shocked that David would choose them over him, nevermind the fact that it is his job to be concerned for the campers. |
| 486 | ** Slowly begins to respect at least Max, and considering the trailer for Season 4 features him comforting Nikki, he seems to be outgrowing it...[[AmbiguouslyEvil Though he did still make a child sweatshop without even realizing it]]. |
| 487 | * ClarkKentOutfit: Inverted. He's a flabby slob in his underwear, but he appears well-built and fit with his clothes on. |
| 488 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: See AmbiguouslyEvil trope above. |
| 489 | * EatsBabies: Ate his own twin in the womb and "felt great". |
| 490 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a criminal, even having Nazi gold, he's extremely unnerved by [[ThoseWackyNazis Dolph's behavior.]] |
| 491 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: |
| 492 | ** Doesn't understand why David would ever choose the kids over him, since he views children as vile little nightmares. Not even after David weakly notes that it's his ''job'' to do so. |
| 493 | ** Also assumes that since Max manipulates Neil, Max is as rotten as Campbell himself is and will be fine with framing David. In fact, Max is totally against it, and plays him like a fiddle for his assumption, only getting David to give him extra dessert as a thank-you. |
| 494 | * FakeUltimateHero: He seems like the poster boy for manly, daring adventurers, but in reality he's a scheming sociopath. |
| 495 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's an immoral, corrupt and even murderous individual, but he covers it up behind a hammy and cheerful demeanor. |
| 496 | ** AffablyEvil: Due to his CharacterDevelopment, he's slowly seemingly becoming this. |
| 497 | * FreudianExcuse: Season 4 hints that his family life may have been a bit messy, which had an impact on how he developed. |
| 498 | * FreudianSlip: In the Season 2 finale, [[spoiler:upon seeing Max, David, and Gwen are gone, he angrily hopes that he didn't lose ''another'' kid, which shocks the parents in the audience and gets the Miller Agents to act against him.]] |
| 499 | * TheGamblingAddict: Admits to having a crippling gambling addiction, and is prepared to sacrifice the camp and its tenants for the chance to win another camp's annual popcorn money [[spoiler:which amounts to fifty dollars]] |
| 500 | * GentlemanAdventurer: A very, very dark version. |
| 501 | * GoodFeelsGood: He realizes that doing good deeds is actually ''good'' after his accidental heroics, [[SubvertedTrope but only because he enjoys the money and attention.]] He's just as amoral as ever when he can't get anything from a good act. |
| 502 | * HateSink: A known fraud who has committed assassinations, overthrown governments, and established Camp Campbell as a ploy for his criminal life. {{Subverted|Trope}} by the end of Season 3, where he realizes how horrible of a person he is and pulls a HeelFaceTurn. Additionally, in season 4, he gets some PetTheDog moments. |
| 503 | * HiddenDepths: He displays some interesting traits while under the effects of Neil's truth serum. He appears to be a StrawNihilist based on his statement that they are all effectively meaningless, and he has a knack for psychoanalyzing people, pointing out potential issues Nurf, Ered, Gwen, and Dolph suffer from and making them all burst into tears due to the accuracy of his statements. |
| 504 | ** He gives Gwen and the campers good advice on failure to live up to expectations, alleviating their fears. |
| 505 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He attempts to [[spoiler:recruit Max to his side to frame David for the "Camp Camp" idea]], only to [[spoiler:unwittingly confess to his plan after Max turns the microphone on, allowing Agents Miller to overhear it]]. This culminates in him having a traumatic episode when David unwittingly triggers his TraumaButton by saying that he is disappointed in him. |
| 506 | * HumanShield: What he did to protect himself in the pilot episode when the feds showed up and started shooting. He used [[WouldHurtAChild Space Kid]], who only survived since the bullets were deflected by his fishbowl helmet. |
| 507 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 508 | ** Gets incredibly anxious when Gwen admits to losing Jermy to the Wood Scouts in front of the Millers, apparently forgetting that he nearly gave the Wood Scouts the whole camp in a similar bet. |
| 509 | ** Despite being just as disturbed by Dolph's Hitler resemblances as the others barring Dolph's father, he has Nazi gold in his possession and even thought of "''Franchise/IndianaJones'', but from the Nazis' point of view" as a money-making scheme. |
| 510 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Tells the Agents Miller that the camp was actually all David's fault, because an eight year old David unintentionally gave him the idea of a camp where you can do anything. He might actually believe it too. |
| 511 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's an arrogant criminal who has no problem using children as [[HumanShield human shields]]. |
| 512 | ** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Becomes this during the Season 3 finale. |
| 513 | * JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: Campbell is clearly up to all kinds of nefarious schemes involving but not limited to Nazi gold, drug trafficking, bizarre experimentation and getting national leaders assassinated, [[spoiler:but he ultimately gets dragged off to "super Guantanamo" for running a dodgy summer camp.]] |
| 514 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:All his illegal actions and running a camp scam finally catch up to him when he is arrested at the end of the season 2 finale.]] |
| 515 | * LackOfEmpathy: He only really gets concerned when the campers are in danger in such a way that can jeopardize his criminal activities, and has no qualms with ''murdering'' them if he thinks they've seen too much. |
| 516 | ** {{Inverted}} by the end of Season 3, where he finally feels bad for the multiple atrocities he's committed throughout the series. |
| 517 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He runs a dodgy summer camp, and is involved in all sorts of shady business that got him on the FBI's wanted list. [[spoiler:He's arrested by two FBI agents who are also the parents of one of the campers.]] |
| 518 | * LonelyAtTheTop: The third season finale has him admitting that no matter how successful or rich he became it never felt like enough for him. [[spoiler: It's the biggest factor in turning himself back in to custody]]. |
| 519 | * MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: In "Eggs Benefits," he claims to have an ability to sense when he loses money. |
| 520 | -->'''Campbell''': (on the destruction of Dolph and Ered's egg, which he isn't around to see) That's strange. I suddenly feel... less rich. |
| 521 | * NeverMyFault: |
| 522 | ** [[spoiler:Swears vengeance on David for his arrest despite the fact that it's Cameron's own illegal actions that resulted in his incarceration. He later tries to frame David for all of his various crimes, stating that it was David's idea for the camp to be a "camp for anyone" in the first place. In reality, David made the comment when he was just a kid and Cameron immediately turned it into a scam by suckering people to drop their kids off at the camp through false advertising.]] |
| 523 | ** [[spoiler:In the season 3 finale he claims that Mr. and Mrs. Campwell are even worse than he is, saying they betrayed him after he helped them build Camp Corp and cut him out of the company. In reality they were disgusted by his selfishness and greed and he left them when they never supported his ideas and is merely blaming them for his own misfortune.]] |
| 524 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: In the Season 3 finale he decides to do the right thing for once and turns himself back in to the [=FBI=]. They decide to alter his punishment to working at the camp and having to answer to David.]] |
| 525 | * NoodleIncident: A lot of his previous money-making schemes are presented this way, which thus far includes trying to host the super-dangerous Y-Games events, posing as the president of Thailand, getting on the bad side of Russia and North Korea, and [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking making plans to film]] "''Franchise/IndianaJones'', but from the Nazi's point of view", all ''long'' before the series begins. |
| 526 | -->'''Campbell''': Aww... I made a sweatshop ''again?!'' |
| 527 | * NotSoHarmlessPunishment: [[spoiler: By the end of Season 3 he's turned himself back into the authorities and finds himself out of jail to serve out his sentence with working at Camp Campbell. For most people this would be a win but Campbell is very much a ChildHater who ''hates'' having to be back at the camp. He's also explicitly made subordinate to David, who's "cheerful" intentions to improve Campbell are very much something the man dreads.]] |
| 528 | * ObviouslyEvil: The show is very unsubtle about how shady and morally corrupt he is, given that the first season has him constantly on the run from the law and treating the camp staff as a second thought. |
| 529 | * OffscreenVillainy: He apparently does horrific things while not at camp, such as arranging assassinations and oppressing all of Thailand. Likely a case of VillainOfAnotherStory, but none of it is shown directly. |
| 530 | * OhCrap: He has a moment when David tells him they are having a "Parents Day" for the campers, because then the parents will find out that the camp isn't actually the specific camp they signed their kids up for. [[spoiler:By the end of the episode he is arrested and swears revenge on David for ruining him.]] |
| 531 | * RousingSpeech: He delivers one to the kids about the importance of summer camp, only to be interrupted when the feds come in shooting. |
| 532 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: [[spoiler:Tries to invoke this on the [=FBI=] Agents in "Parents Day" when they're arresting him. It doesn't work.]] |
| 533 | * SkewedPriorities: To him, the only other thing besides Super Guantanamo he can't handle is [[DisappointedInYou someone feeling disappointed in him]]. [[spoiler:Especially a hapless schmuck he'd been manipulating for years.]] Can be considered his TraumaButton. |
| 534 | * TestosteronePoisoning: The man is your prototypical [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Ron Swanson]] style manly man; he's an avid outdoorsman, is built like a bear, and believes in good ole' fashioned American values like hard work and hating the government (he partially blames the Affordable Care Act on why kids don't like summer camp anymore, along with video games and the Internet). |
| 535 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In the past, Campbell was genuinely invested in the camp and at least wasn't transparently corrupt. By the present day he clearly regards the camp as just a hiding place where he can store supplies he needs while on the run and two seconds of conversation will reveal how much of a {{Jerkass}} he is. |
| 536 | ** TookALevelInKindness: Is a ''far'' better person during Season 4...Well, [[AffablyEvil comparatively speaking]]. He later admits that he lost momentum after his initial epiphany because he didn't realize how much effort repairing himself would be, and that despite everything, he still wants to be better. |
| 537 | * TraumaButton: Hearing somebody stating their disappointment towards him can push Cameron into a mental breakdown after [[spoiler:the guards frequently stated their disappointment of him in Super Guantanamo.]] |
| 538 | * VillainousBreakdown: |
| 539 | ** [[spoiler:When his camp is revealed as a scam and he's dragged off by the [=FBI=] to "Super Guantanamo" in the season 2 finale, he rants about how [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney they can't do this to him because of how rich he is]], then [[WeWillMeetAgain swears vengeance on David]] for screwing him over.]] |
| 540 | ** [[spoiler:He undergoes another one in "Cameron Campbell the Camp Campbell Camper" when Max not only thwarts his plans to frame David for the camp extortion scheme ''and'' finally exposes him to David for the ManipulativeBastard he really is, but also [[SkewedPriorities makes his go-to scapegoat feel disappointed in him]].]] |
| 541 | * WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler:Swears that Camp Campbell hasn't heard the last of him as he's driven away to "Super Guantanamo."]] |
| 542 | * WouldHurtAChild: The aforementioned HumanShield was Space Kid. A flashback to David's childhood shows him preparing to knife David in the back when he's afraid the kid might spill the beans on [[spoiler:Jasper's assumed death]]. He also nearly attacks Max after realizing that he [[spoiler:turned his radio back on and tricked him into admitting he was going to frame David for several crimes]] and only stops when David overhears everything. |

| 550 | [[quoteright:309:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/space_kid_wiki.png]] |
| 551 | ->'''Voiced by''': Lindsay Jones |
| 552 | |
| 553 | An unusual child who aspires to go to space. |
| 554 | ---- |
| 555 | * BerserkButton: Do NOT insult the American Space Program! |
| 556 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He [[PrecisionFStrike cussed out]] Vera for insulting the Amercian Space Program. |
| 557 | * BreakoutCharacter: He's gotten a lot of screentime as the series has gone on, to the point of being the most likely to accompany the main trio, likely due to his popularity with the fanbase. |
| 558 | * ButtMonkey: Poor kid is disrespected and goes through mountains of abuse which no one seems to care about... [[CheerfulChild Even himself!]] |
| 559 | * CheerfulChild: Space Kid is naive and good-natured to points that reach levels of TooDumbToLive. He isn't bothered by Cameron Campbell using him as a HumanShield and he treats [[spoiler:two]] transparent {{Serial Killer}}s with nothing but cheerfulness. However, insulting the American Space Program will put him in a bad mood immediately. |
| 560 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Appears to be Camp Campbell's equivalent to [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} the Space Core.]] |
| 561 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: The few times he's not wearing his helmet reveal him to have both brown hair and brown eyes. |
| 562 | * {{Determinator}}: Nothing gets between him and his dream to go to space. In "Space Camp Was A Hoax," Max subjects him to food poisoning, motion sickness, sleep deprivation, cough syrup, severe hallucinations, and extreme physical trauma in order to break him of his love for space - and Space Kid crawls out the other side more determined than ever. |
| 563 | * GeniusDitz: While he can be naive and overly friendly, he is an expert on his favorite topic, which is of course space. |
| 564 | * HiddenDepths: He's explaining Lagrange Points and their usefulness in space exploration to Neil at the start of episode 8. He does at least seem to have a solid grasp of his favorite topic. |
| 565 | ** Supported when he talks about dwarf planets. |
| 566 | ** He wins a game of chess against Neil in "Camp Loser Says What?". |
| 567 | ** In "Campfire Tales," he tells by ''far'' the scariest story, terrifying even Max. And this despite the fact that he's ''never'' shown breaking his cheerful demeanor. |
| 568 | * HistoricalCharactersFictionalRelative: He's Neil Armstrong's fictional great-grandson. |
| 569 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: While every other camper is unsettled when they first meet Daniel, and later on, Jen, Space Kid doesn't find them offputting in the slightest, greeting them both with a friendly "Howdy!" |
| 570 | * TheImmune: [[spoiler:In the Halloween special, he's the only one who doesn't get sick thanks to his makeshift spacesuit. {{Inverted|Trope}} in the ending, when he gets sick after having to remove his helmet, but because the germs can't escape the suit, everyone else is fine.]] |
| 571 | * ImmuneToBullets: At least the fishbowl he is wearing as a helmet. |
| 572 | * IronButtMonkey: Survives bullets to the helmet, being mauled by zombified campers, and at one point a combination of food poisoning, sleep deprivation, cough syrup, and a "space shuttle" crash that should've killed him. |
| 573 | * KindheartedSimpleton: One of the dumbest campers, as well as one of the nicest. |
| 574 | * LiteralMinded: When asked his blood type, says red. |
| 575 | * {{Malaproper}}: In "Night of the Living Ill", he calls a laboratory a labrador and the conservation of energy the conversation of allergies. |
| 576 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: When David asks for his name in "Space Camp Was a Hoax", he says it's Neil Armstrong, and that he was named after his great grandfather. David understandably doesn't believe him and just writes "Space Kid". [[spoiler:Buzz Aldrin confirms this to be true in "Parents' Day."]] |
| 577 | * NeverBareheaded: The only times to date that he's removed his helmet have been in "Night of the Living Ill" when he wouldn't have fit down the Spooky Island Castle's laundry chute otherwise and also briefly in "Reigny Day" in order to fill it with syrup. |
| 578 | * NiceGuy: One of the more friendly campers. |
| 579 | * NoodleIncident: Has apparently had ''multiple'' rabies shots, only one of which we know the reasoning for (Max put a squirrel in his suit). |
| 580 | * OneSteveLimit: Since he claims he was named for his great grandfather, Neil Armstrong, this would mean he shares his first name with Neil. [[spoiler:The second season finale reveals this really is his name, and the original Neil is not happy to find this out.]] |
| 581 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name has never been stated, even by the adults. He claims to be named "Neil Armstrong", after his great grandfather, [[spoiler:a fact later confirmed by his "uncle", Buzz Aldrin.]] |
| 582 | * PrecisionFStrike: Gets one when Vera (an exchange camper from Russia) insults the American Space Program. |
| 583 | * RedShirt: Lampshaded by Max, they view him as the most expendable. |
| 584 | * SixthRanger: He seems the most common camper to accompany the main trio when another kid isn't getting ADayInTheLimelight. |
| 585 | * TeamDad: Attempts to be this in "After Hours", with varying degrees of success. |

| 593 | ->'''Voiced by''': James Willems |
| 594 | |
| 595 | An artistic boy who has some worrying similarities to [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler a certain historical figure.]] |
| 596 | ---- |
| 597 | * AdolfHitlarious: His main characterization is that he's a child similar to Hitler who's PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:However, as time goes on this becomes more and more downplayed until he eventually gets a makeover that has his looking nothing like Hitler at all, with a shiny, messier brown haircut, a purple shirt, and an artist’s smock belt covered in paint stains.]] |
| 598 | * AllGermansAreNazis: "Parents' Day" reveals that his family is actually American, despite his accent, and that Dolph was raised on an army base in Germany. |
| 599 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Dolph appears to be one of the youngest campers (besides perhaps Space Kid) at Camp Campbell based on his short physique and relatively more innocent behavior. He's largely unaware of his resemblance to Adolf Hitler, and while he does have issues doing so, does genuinely want to make friends, which in turn makes him naive to when people such as Max use him. |
| 600 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Starting in Season Three, he's been receiving more character traits to flesh him out beyond his initial one-note portrayal. A few times, he's even played a significant role in an entire episode without a single Hitler gag. [[spoiler:This culminates in him receiving a full out redesign in the 20th anniversary special, finally putting his original parody nature behind him..]] |
| 601 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: He actually seems to not know anything about Hitler and how much he resembles him. Thus, any time he makes people around him uncomfortable [[InnocentlyInsensitive is born of ignorance rather than malice.]] |
| 602 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He responds to [[MadScientist Neil trying to prove Harrison wrong by science through shoving handkerchiefs down Nikki's throat]] by saying "science has gone too far!" |
| 603 | * FreudianExcuse: Cameron Campbell lampshades this when he finds out Dolph grew up on a German military base. |
| 604 | * HerrDoktor: Parodied. He was the best "pretend doctor" in his class, and so the campers turn to him when they need medical aid without alerting the counselors. He then diagnoses Nikki having a cramp as a terminal illness and says she only has one day left to live. |
| 605 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 606 | ** While he is a pretty one-note character, Dolph does turn in one of the better performances during Preston's play, and is a genuinely good artist whose father keeps trying to make him give up his craft for manlier pursuits. |
| 607 | ** "The Candy Kingpin" reveals that he also genuinely wants real friends at the camp. |
| 608 | ** He also thinks rather highly of his skills as a "pretend doctor." |
| 609 | * HistoricalInJoke: His interest in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paintings_by_Adolf_Hitler#Artistic_ambition arts and crafts]] is a blatant reference - hopefully he'll be accepted to art school. |
| 610 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: As seen in "The Candy Kingpin" where Max uses this to manipulate Dolph into "friendship" to use Dolph's candy stash to control the other campers. Dolph claims to have learned to avoid making [[ToxicFriendInfluence friends like Max]] in the future. |
| 611 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: While he has BaitAndSwitch moments aplenty, Dolph shows no signs of actually subscribing to any Nazi ideology - indeed, he seems completely ignorant of that whole history. He's just innocently unaware of how uncomfortable his appearance and mannerisms make people. |
| 612 | -->'''Dolph''': David, look! Zat bald man is handing out flyers with a picture of me! |
| 613 | * {{Irony}}: The kid who resembles Adolf Hitler in appearance and mannerisms is actually the son of a US lieutenant. |
| 614 | * MilitaryBrat: He grew up on a military base in Germany, explaining the accent. |
| 615 | * OverlyLongGag: Has [[ADayInTheLimelight an entire episode]] devoted to his Nazi-like characteristics. It gets to the point that it is lampshaded by Nikki. |
| 616 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a serious one to Max after Max manipulates him in "The Candy Kingpin", noting that Max showed him how some people will pretend to be your friends to use you and that he'll avoid befriending people like Max in the future. |
| 617 | * ThoseWackyNazis: His painting of a dog includes a Nazi armband and a swastika-shaped flower. What's more, the dog itself resembles [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondi Blondi]], Hitler's favourite dog. |

| 626 | The [[StageMagician Magic]] kid. |
| 627 | ---- |
| 628 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: He and Nerris snub each other at every opportunity. When they reunite on the bus in "Camp Corp", Harrison shoots Nerris a frosty glare - and then happily pats the seat next to him. |
| 629 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: |
| 630 | ** He really ''does'' seem to be able to use magic. And he doesn't take kindly to people trying to prove him wrong. |
| 631 | ** In season 3 [[spoiler: he sets his new camp on fire and unleashes multiple tigers, causing the camp to shut down and traumatizing many children in the process. Even Max is astonished by how far he goes despite being the one to push him to do it.]] |
| 632 | * TheChessmaster: Manipulates Neil into saying he believes in magic by telling him that belief is the only thing that can save a choking Nikki. It's implied that he and Nikki staged it. |
| 633 | -->"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the greatest trick of all: getting a cynical, close-minded asshole to believe in magic!" |
| 634 | * ChildMage: He's a kid ''and'' a magic-user. |
| 635 | * DisproportionateRetribution: In fairness, Neil ''was'' trying to discredit his stage routine, but Harrison's response was to make Max vomit up an obscene amount of handkerchiefs (and a rabbit). He even says his intended target was Neil. |
| 636 | * {{Expy}}: He’s basically [[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 Anthony Freemont]] if he was obsessed with stage magic and slightly less sociopathic. |
| 637 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In episode 2 of the first season, he makes a rabbit appear then disappear but couldn't make it re-appear at David's request, saying he doesn't know how and this was why he was at Camp Camp in the first place. [[spoiler:Parent's Day then reveals that his parents are terrified of him because his abilities made his ''brother disappear'', meaning that Harrison is at Camp Camp not just to control his powers, but to figure out how to get his brother to re-appear]]. |
| 638 | * IneptMage: Due to his lack of training and experience, his attempts at using his powers usually end up doing him and everyone around him more harm than good. |
| 639 | * InexplicablyAwesome: Deconstructed. It's not explained how or why he has genuine magical powers, so he runs into a lot of problems [[spoiler:at home. His parents don't know what's going on, so they're terrified of him. Since he's the only person they know with those abilities, there isn't anyone to train him or do damage control. He's sent to a sucky magic camp to control his powers because [[ClosestThingWeGot they can't find any other real magic users]].]] |
| 640 | * InsistentTerminology: Prefers the term "illusionist." |
| 641 | * {{Irony}}: Wants to be a stage magician despite being able to use real magic. |
| 642 | * MagiciansAreWizards: He refers to himself as an illusionist and dresses accordingly, but he really has genuine magical powers. |
| 643 | * {{Nice Guy}}: One of, if not the, nicest camper. |
| 644 | * PowerIncontinence: When an earthquake strikes, he thinks that his powers are going out of control. He also [[spoiler:made his brother vanish, and can't get him back]]. |
| 645 | * SitcomArchNemesis: |
| 646 | ** Often argues with Nerris over who's the better magic kid. |
| 647 | ** With Neil to a lesser extent, since Harrison's genuine magical abilities are at odds with Neil's logic and science mindset. |
| 648 | * StageMagician: Sent to Camp Campbell's Magic Camp to hone his craft, complete with [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat pulling rabbits and various other animals out of his hat]] and [[DisappearingBox making things disappear]]. |

| 657 | The [[{{LARP}} other Magic]] kid. |
| 658 | ---- |
| 659 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Hardly anyone else at the camp besides Nikki really wants anything to do with her {{LARP}}ing. It's also indicated in "Ered Gets Her Cool Back" that ''no one'' except her dad does. |
| 660 | * AmbiguousGenderIdentity: There are hints that she's nonbinary. In "Preston Goodplay's Good Play", she juggles colored balls, each one a color on the nonbinary flag, while in "Eggs Benefits", she says she prefers to be identified as "elf-kin". |
| 661 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She and Harrison fight constantly, but after they're split up in "Camp Corp" and later reunited, she's happily sitting in the seat next to him. |
| 662 | * BlackAndNerdy: African-American and a lover of tabletop gaming, Franchise/DoctorWho, Literature/TheLordOfTheRings, and more. |
| 663 | * BlackMagicianGirl: How she styles herself, aside from the fact that she is a literal one due to being African-American and her love of {{LARP}}ing. |
| 664 | * DaddysGirl: She got her love of {{LARP}}ing from her equally BlackAndNerdy father. |
| 665 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has several that she uses as stand-in players for her gaming sessions. |
| 666 | * GreenEyedMonster: It's implied her antagonism towards Harrison is due to jealousy that he has actual magic powers, while she can only pretend. |
| 667 | * HiddenDepths: It doesn't get much focus, but "A Camp Camp Christmas, or Whatever" reveals that she's skilled at ice skating. |
| 668 | ** She's shown handling a blowtorch by herself, in "Space Camp Was a Hoax". (Which, no surprise there: of ''course'' a mage like her would want to know how to handle fire!) |
| 669 | ** "New Adventure!" reveals she has a love for competitive baking shows. |
| 670 | * InsistentTerminology: |
| 671 | ** Prefers the term, "Sorceress". |
| 672 | ** Whilst she acknowledges that she would technically qualify as a human female, she prefers to be referred to as elf-kin. |
| 673 | * {{Irony}}: Much like Harrison, Nerris is more skilled in other areas then fake-magic, namely she should reclass as a Warrior. |
| 674 | * KillerGameMaster: In one instance she expressed glee when a monster she was controlling did a large amount of damage to one of the player characters (Granted, said player character was controlled by one of her stuffed animals, and by extension, herself). |
| 675 | * TheMagnificent: She prefers the title "Nerris the Cute." |
| 676 | * {{Nice G|uy}}irl: While she's not immune to a barb here and there and her patience seems short with [[SitcomArchNemesis Harrison]] and [[{{Jerkass}} Max]], Nerris is generally one of the nicer campers. Special focus is put on this in "Ered Gets Her Cool Back" where it's Nerris who actively seeks to socialize with Ered even after she's been humiliated in front of the camp and offers her sincere advice to simply be herself (which prompts Ered to name Nerris the "coolest kid in the camp" not long after that advice prevents a potentially fatal half-pipe jump). |
| 677 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: She never takes off her elf ears and comments to Cameron that she identifies as [[UsefulNotes/{{Otherkin}} elfkin]]. |
| 678 | * OutOfFocus: In Season 1, despite every other camper but Space Kid getting a focus episode, Nerris is never more than a background character. Even when she gets ADayInTheLimelight in Seasons 2 and 3, she's sharing that limelight with Harrison and Ered, respectively. |
| 679 | * ThePollyanna: Even though she knows how unpopular her interests are, she refuses to get too upset about it because then she'd never be able to find someone else who shares her passion. |
| 680 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Often argues with Harrison over who's the better magic kid. |

| 687 | |
| 688 | An extreme sports girl with a reputation for being the coolest kid in camp. |
| 689 | ---- |
| 690 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''eredith '''M'''iller. |
| 691 | * AloofAlly: Seems more comfortable doing things solo, and Extreme Sports tend to be solo activities. |
| 692 | * BookDumb: Has sub-par grades, but shows signs of being a quick thinker on par with ''Max''. |
| 693 | * CoolBigSis: Following "Ered Gets Her Cool Back", she seems to have transformed into his for her fellow campers, forming an OddFriendship with Nerris, treating Nikki a lot nicer, and even giving Neil relationship advice. (Nikki, for her part, saw her as this from the start.) |
| 694 | * DaddysGirl: She looks up to her FBI Agent fathers as her "cool gay dads". |
| 695 | * EmotionlessGirl: Downplayed. Usually keeps a blank face and speaks in a flat voice and is under-expressive in general. Her ''eyebrows'' emote normally, though. |
| 696 | * HiddenDepths: Ered actually holds on to her popularity covetously, and is terrified of losing it. She comes to admire [[BlackAndNerdy Nerris]] for practicing a hobby no one cares about purely because she enjoys it. |
| 697 | ** She turns out to be ''very'' good at manipulating the other campers in "Camp Cool Kidz", but that's only half of it. The surprising thing is that she ''kept'' them on her side, with a camp that appealed to their sense of fun rather than push her own sensibilities. |
| 698 | ** "Night Of The Living Ill" shows that she can read blueprints. |
| 699 | * HugeSchoolgirl: Is much taller than the other kids, though it's never been clarified if she's older, too. (If she's older, she didn't recognize Nikki's symptoms in "Nikki's Last Day on Earth" so it's probably not by much.) |
| 700 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's initially introduced as a straight-up {{Jerkass}} who takes advantage of Nikki's adoration and sics her against her friends, and later outright admits she doesn't care about her, only needing her on her side. After the events of "Ered Gets Her Cool Back", however, she begins showing a more supportive side to the other campers while still bragging about how cool she is. |
| 701 | * LackOfEmpathy: Played with. Part of being Cool involves not caring about other people, which is why she was such a tool to Nikki at first. When she actually does start appearing to care about what other people think, her popularity only tanks. In general she acts as though this is a prerequisite for being Cool, and doesn't naturally lack empathy. |
| 702 | * LittleMissSnarker: Gives a very deadpan "Pussies for life" at the end of episode 2. |
| 703 | * OnlyChildSyndrome: Apparently, given her reaction to Campbell's BrutalHonesty read of her in their therapy session. |
| 704 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her fathers are the only ones to ever call her "Meredith". |
| 705 | * OutOfFocus: Tends to get the least focus in episodes out of all the characters. |
| 706 | * PassionateSportsGirl: Played with. While she hasn't shown much passion for anything, Ered is there for extreme sports camp and wants Nikki to construct a giant half pipe for her. |
| 707 | * TheStoic: Usually has a disinterested expression. When everyone reacts to Preston's play with ProducePelting, Ered just gives a thumbs down. |
| 708 | ** NotSoStoic: Will freak out with the other characters in crowd scenes. |
| 709 | * TookALevelInKindness: She becomes considerably nicer to her fellow campers in season 3 after the events of "Ered Gets Her Cool Back". |
| 710 | * ValleyGirl: Talks likes this. |
| 711 | * WrenchWench: Her niche talent in "Camporee" is motorcycle repair. |

| 718 | |
| 719 | The camp's resident bully. |
| 720 | ---- |
| 721 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: After inadvertently creating the same type of broken household he'd lived in when assigned to raise an egg, the egg ''runs away''. |
| 722 | * AffablyEvil: Sort of. He's still a bully, but he has a [[PunchClockVillain very rigorous schedule]] he keeps himself to and [[PoliticallyCorrectVillain doesn't bully people when he knows their personal belief systems wouldn't let him]]. For instance, he won't bully [[JewishAndNerdy Neil]] on the Sabbath, as he knows he is observant. |
| 723 | * TheBully: Throws tomatoes at Harrison and Preston in the first episode, and wedgies Dolph in the fourth. |
| 724 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: At the start of the series, he was a generic [[TheBully bully]] and nothing more. It wasn't until Episode 6 when he became a self-aware PunchClockVillain.[[note]]Part of the joke of that episode was that [[JewishAndNerdy Neil]] went missing while [[AdolfHitlarious Dolph]] was in charge, but the writers realized they never established that Neil was Jewish. So they threw in Nurf's "I understand he celebrates the Sabbath" line, and that became the basis for his character going forward.[[/note]] |
| 725 | * DomesticAbuse: He lets slip that he's from a broken household in a moment of rage, and he repeats the cycle of abuse he witnessed when EggSitting Nurf Jr. with Preston. He gets so bad that [[RuleOfFunny somehow]] his egg runs away from home. |
| 726 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: His first name is Gaylord. |
| 727 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He really loves his mom, appreciating the present she sent him, and then treating her with open affection during Parents Day. |
| 728 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 729 | ** He apologises to Max for exploding at him. He also only bullies Neil on Tuesdays, Thursdays and non-denominational holidays and definitely not on the Sabbath. |
| 730 | ** He calls his mom out on her homophobic comments in "Parents Day" - she backtracks so she's not ''cussing'', which he guesses is better. |
| 731 | %%** He also draws the line at spreading hurtful rumors, as he refuses to promote the "fake news epidemic that's plaguing our society." |
| 732 | * ExperimentedInCollege: Obviously much earlier than college, but he's experimented with his sexuality in the past. From the sound of it, that didn't go well. |
| 733 | -->''[crying]'' Chris, why did you leave me? |
| 734 | * GenerationXerox: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. His mother is in jail, and if her sending him a knife as a gift is any indication, she's has the same choice of weapon as her son. In another episode he's paired off with Preston to raise an egg, only to become abusive towards Preston and overprotective of the egg, telling "Nurf Jr." that he won't be raised in a broken home like Nurf was. He also bears a strong resemblance to her once she's seen on-screen. |
| 735 | * GeniusBruiser: He's definitely no slouch in the physical bullying department, but he's quite adept at screwing with people psychologically too. He also knows quite a lot about the business world, as shown when his interpretation of "cool" is being an adult with a white collar job and a retirement account. |
| 736 | * HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook: He claims that chewing a Poptart into the shape of a gun once caused a downward spiral of being judged harshly by the system and punishment, culminating in him being sent to a school for other troubled children until he genuinely became bad. Whether or not he's telling the truth here is a different story. |
| 737 | * HiddenDepths: He usually [[SirSwearsALot quite vulgar]], but he does have times when actually quite eloquent and rather observant. |
| 738 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Max's stated goal is to destroy David's worldview and make him cry himself to sleep, and even ''he's'' stunned by how messed up Nurf is. |
| 739 | * HypocriticalHumor: Tells Neil he's too tense and should take some aggression therapy when he snaps at him. |
| 740 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: In "Attack of the Nurfs", he comes to the conclusion that the reason he bullies people is because he doesn't have anyone to relate to, causing him to fall back to violence due to growing up in an unstable household. |
| 741 | * KindHeartedCatLover: He's seen petting a kitty cat in episode 9. Subverted, a few seconds later he's using the same cat as bait for fishing. |
| 742 | * TheLeader: When the campers hear that Gwen is leaving the camp, Nurf declares himself "the new Gwen" and tries to take command, even donning a wig with Gwen's hairstyle to show his "authority." Gwen officially puts him in charge when David drives her to a job interview at the end of the episode. |
| 743 | * ManipulativeBastard: It's not clear if he's a bully because he was abused and traumatized, or if he just says that to mess with people. Judging by his private conversation with his copies in "Attack of the Nurfs", the truth seems to lie somewhere in-between: He wasn't outright abused, but he grew up in an unstable household, causing him to resort to violence to fill the void because he didn't have friends. |
| 744 | * MultipleChoicePast: He likes to drop hints about the different triggers in his life that made him the way he is, but it's not clear whether he's telling the truth or playing with people's sympathies. |
| 745 | * PoliticallyCorrectVillain: He refuses to bully Neil on certain days due to the latter being Jewish. He also abhors homophobia, refuses to spread hurtful rumors (especially if he knows they aren't true), and draws a firm line against body-shaming. That being said.... |
| 746 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: When he meets Brian, a Korean-American from Kentucky, he cannot fathom the American part and treats him like a foreigner, even referring to him as "Kimchi" as according to him, non-English names are hard to pronounce. That being said he actually quite friendly towards him, even if he majorly InnocentlyInsensitive, much to Brian's chagrin. |
| 747 | -->'''Cameron Campbell:''' What the Hell kind of bully are you? |
| 748 | * PsychoKnifeNut: He repeatedly stabs David and threatens Harrison with a knife in Episode 9. Max even wonders aloud [[{{Hammerspace}} where he keeps getting them]]. |
| 749 | * PunchClockVillain: Despite the fact that he's not being paid, Nurf seems to treat bullying this way. He has a very rigorous system in place for deciding when it is okay to bully someone. That said, he still ''is'' a bully, so it's relative. |
| 750 | * TheQuietOne: He normally only says the odd cruel remark. He will occasionally go on far more eloquent speeches than you'd expect, though. |
| 751 | * ScareEmStraight: "David Gets Hard" reveals that Nurf's parents signed him up for Boot Camp. |
| 752 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Inverted. He's a green-eyed, redheaded side character. |
| 753 | * StoutStrength: He can easily lift the other kids and crack bulletproof glass with a few punches. |
| 754 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: He claims that society made him a monster after he [[RippedFromTheHeadlines chewed a pop-tart into the shape of a gun]]. He also claims to have attended ballet classes. Then again, given [[ManipulativeBastard the way Nurf acts]], you'd be right to be suspicious of anything he says. |

| 761 | |
| 762 | A kid with a love of the stage. |
| 763 | ---- |
| 764 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He's easily the most flamboyant and, fittingly, theatrical of the cast, but his romantic leanings haven't been touched upon. |
| 765 | * BalloonBelly: Gets this in episode 4 from drinking so much soda. |
| 766 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: |
| 767 | ** Sees Romeo and Juliet[[note]]A tragedy about teenage infatuation leading to suicide[[/note]] and writes and directs a science fantasy sequel wherein the titular characters are raised from the grave and Romeo is an outer-space resistance fighter. |
| 768 | ** He's eager to emulate [[Theatre/JuliusCaesar Cassius]] in taking the role of "coolest kid" from Ered, seemingly forgetting that Cassius suffers a KarmicDeath by the same sword he used to kill Caesar. |
| 769 | * DomesticAbuse: In a bit of BlackComedy, he's a victim of this at Nurf's hands when they're taking care of an egg together. |
| 770 | * GiftedlyBad: Many of his plays are ridiculous. The ''Romeo and Juliet'' sequel listed above might sound like a SoBadItsGood CrackFic, but [[ProducePelting the salvo of tomatoes he endures]] says otherwise (In his defense, both Max and Tabii were running their own schemes. In ''their'' defense, Max was just fucking with David and it snowballed while Tabii replaced Nikki and [[HiddenDepths probably did better than she would have.]]) The one he made to reenact Nikki's fatal illness also deserves mention. |
| 771 | * LargeHam: As an aspiring playwright/actor, it comes as no surprise. As a bonus, he yells a lot (to the point where Georden [[http://geordenwhitman.tumblr.com/post/164600189851/ivana-fox-the-reason-why-preston-is-so-loud-is-bc has stated]] that Preston made him lose his voice once). |
| 772 | * PrimaDonnaDirector: He goes from chewing Max out over his performance to praising the playtpus' acting chops faster than shifting gears. In fairness, he doesn't seem to have a problem complimenting performers he thinks are doing well. |
| 773 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Implied in "Parents Day", when instead of his parents, his grandmother shows up. Unlike Space Kid, there's no mention at all about his parents or why they weren't able to attend. |
| 774 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: As "Night of the Living Ill" reveals, he has a girly scream to rival David's. |
| 775 | * SuddenlyShouting: Does this a lot in Episode 7. |
| 776 | --> I don't know who this '''BITCH''' is, but she is '''KILLING''' it! '''AH!''' |
| 777 | ** "Parents Day" implies he has this habit because his grandma is practically deaf. |

| 787 | ---- |
| 788 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Scotty only appeared at the beginning of "David Gets Hard" and was treated like just another member of the main cast. However, he was quietly unused and eventually abandoned for the rest of the series. |
| 789 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Or at least just the friend Max doesn't like. |
| 790 | -->'''Max''': Thursday is over, Scotty. Go back to your tent! |
| 791 | * FunnyAfro: Scotty has a big orange afro, reminiscent of a clown's. |
| 792 | * GagNose: Scotty has a shiny red clown nose. |
| 793 | * HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Scotty does not talk, as he does indeed specialize in visual comedy. |
| 794 | * NonIronicClown: Scotty's clowny behavior is played straight. |
| 795 | * NoodleIncident: In "The Candy Kingpin", Nikki mentions an incident involving a boat race, a fire, bears, and "poor Scotty," all apparently a result of a past sugar-indulgence on her part. This is neither elaborated on nor ever brought up again. |
| 796 | * OutOfFocus: It's possible that he was intended to be a major character at first, but due to his lack of screen time in Season 1, he eventually just faded to oblivion without a trace. |
| 797 | * PutOnABus: His mysterious disappearance was finally acknowledged in-universe in Season 3, as part of a NoodleIncident involving a sugar-high Nikki. |
| 798 | -->'''Nikki''': I need to stay away from the pure stuff. After what happened last time, with the boat race and the fire and the bears and poor Scotty... |
| 799 | * SceneryCensor: In a rare audio-themed instance of this, Scotty played a censored bleep sound on a piano, while Nurf was making a violently profane speech. |

| 812 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 813 | ** He'll force a boy to do a ropes course and try to force him into being a Wood Scout, but making fun of his acne? That's just uncalled for. |
| 814 | ** He also shoots down Snake's suggestion of beating the Flower Scouts in sales by killing them. It's also shown that wasn't the first time he's brought up the idea and Pikeman is annoyed with him for doing it again. |
| 815 | * EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler: He recruits Daniel as a scoutmaster and defends keeping him around against all evidence that this will only end horribly and even after the other Wood Scouts decide the cultist is too unhinged to trust because they've won against Camp Campbell for once. Sure enough Pikeman winds up in over his head and is only saved by the Campbell campers working with his fellow scouts to fool Daniel into leaving.]] |
| 816 | * FatalFlaw: His [[SmallNameBigEgo overblown opinion of himself]]. He is ridiculously easy to manipulate if someone validates his own personal views on himself, which Sasha does in one episode by saying it will prove him better than Max. [[spoiler: He consciously ignores the myriad of warning signs about Daniel in "Camp Loser Says What?" because he led the Wood Scouts to victory over Camp Campbell and Pikeman enjoys the victory too much to consider working against the cultist.]] |
| 817 | * GreenEyedMonster: Towards Jermy Fartz of all people in "The Lake Lilac Summer Social" |
| 818 | * HellishPupils: Has little slit pupils like a snake. |
| 819 | * LikesOlderWomen: He frequently flirts with Gwen mentioned above. |
| 820 | * PressGanged: He recruits other Wood Scouts by abducting them from other camps. |
| 821 | * SelfServingMemory: When asked to explain how he and the other Wood Scouts got tied to the Camp Campbell flagpole, he remembers himself without acne or braces and the rest of the Wood Scouts kissing up to him. |
| 822 | * SeriousBusiness: Downplayed. He puts a lot of effort into trying to take over Camp Campbell, but when Max calls him on trying to bet on the fate of the camp ''just after'' a game of Frisbee with the same goal, he relents and just dials it back to taking their best camper instead. |
| 823 | * VagueAge: Probably a teenager, due to his acne, but the show tends to treat him as an adult at some times and a child at others. |

| 834 | * ActorAllusion: Trust Creator/DanteBasco to voice a character who is ultimately obsessed with honor. |
| 835 | * AmazonChaser: Tabii may not be the strongest or toughest of the Flower Scouts, but she is definitely the most willing to resort to violence. The second Snake sees her shrieking with rage, he's smitten. |
| 836 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When describing how he feels about Tabii. |
| 837 | -->"She's as brutal as she is beautiful... she's ''brutiful.''" |
| 838 | * TheComicallySerious: He's played hilariously straight compared to everything around him. |
| 839 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "The Lake Lilac Summer Social" gives him an even amount of focus alongside Neil, Erin, and Tabii. |
| 840 | * TheDragon: He's Pikeman's right-hand man and most competent underling. |
| 841 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Snake Plissken]]. |
| 842 | * EyepatchOfPower: Has one, and is portrayed as the most badass of the Wood Scouts. |
| 843 | * FakeDefector: Never left the Wood Scouts at all, and plans to conscript the Campbell kids. |
| 844 | * FoeRomanceSubtext: His conversation with Neil about romance in "The Lake Lilac Summer Social" has a lot of subtext to it. Especially considering that he and Neil are slow-dancing at the time, at his instigation, without actually needing to. And that he instigated said dance by dragging Neil away by the hand yelling, "Neil, I need you!" |
| 845 | * HiddenDepths: The summer dance episode showed that under all the badassitude he's actually quite sensitive and socially awkward in his own way. |
| 846 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: He's infatuated with Tabii and her poorly-repressed rage. The fact that she takes it out on him is just icing. |
| 847 | -->'''Snake''': But what about our chemistry?\ |
| 848 | '''Tabii''': Dude, I treated you like shit all night!\ |
| 849 | '''Snake''': (''tearfully'') And that meant ''nothing'' to you?! |
| 850 | * InTheBack: Stabs Max in the back with his pointed candy cane soon after his true intentions are revealed. Max survives, however. |
| 851 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Snake's proposed solution to beat the Flower Scouts in door-to-door sweets sales? Kill them. When Pikeman [[EvenEvilHasStandards calls him out on it]], Snake claims it was Petrol's idea, and while Petrol does admit it, it's still telling that Pikeman has told Snake not to kill people ''multiple times.'' |
| 852 | * PressGanged: He does this to Max in the third episode. His dialogue also strongly implies that he himself was press-ganged into the Wood Scouts (he "made a vow" and "doesn't have a choice"). |

| 861 | ---- |
| 862 | * BaldOfEvil: Bald and a member of the antagonistic Wood Scouts, but it's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in the sense that most of his antagonism comes from him taking orders from Pikeman. |
| 863 | * TheBrute: For Pikeman, as the tallest and strongest of the Wood Scouts. |
| 864 | * {{Expy}}: Due to his name, stature, skin tone, and penchant for grunting, he is clearly a reference to Creator/VinDiesel. |
| 865 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 866 | ** When it comes to romantic relationships, he's a great listener. Although considering he never talks, it's hard to tell how much he's actually contributing to a conversation. |
| 867 | ** In "Operation Charlie Tango Foxtrot", it's revealed that he's pretty good at reading people. That and apparently, if he chose to speak, he would be extremely well spoken. |
| 868 | ** During the same episode, it's also revealed he has a rather nuanced touch, considering how elaborately he wrapped Neil's science booth in toilet paper. |
| 869 | ** According to Snake and himself, Petrol specializes in the harmonica. |
| 870 | * LastNameBasis: Is usually only referred to by his last name, "Petrol." |
| 871 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Though Snake was the one who proposed killing the Flower Scouts to beat them in door-to-door sweets sales, when he claims it was Petrol's idea, Petrol nods. |
| 872 | * TheSilentBob: Even though he only communicates through grunts, everyone can understand him perfectly, even non-Wood Scouts. |
| 873 | * StealthHiBye: He proves to be quite proficient at them when observing the Camp Campbell campers. |
| 874 | * TopHeavyGuy: His legs are pretty skinny for his torso. |
| 875 | * TheVoiceless: Unlike Snake, who speaks rarely, Petrol is never heard saying a word onscreen. He mostly communicates through grunts. Even when telling his part in a RashomonStyle story, he only communicates in subtitled grunts, and all the other people in his story do the same. |

| 887 | '''Jermy''': See? We have so much in - ''hurk'' - common! |
| 888 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He'd undoubtedly be in this situation if the camp wasn't forced to be nice to him. He's definitely this once he joins the Wood Scouts. Pikeman openly states that he hates him and orders him to stay in the van with the windows closed. |
| 889 | * BrainBleach: |
| 890 | ** Provokes this reaction in the main cast when he reveals why his friends call him "big nips". |
| 891 | ** Also provokes it in Neil when he describes what he gets up to with his dog |
| 892 | * ButtMonkey: None of the Camp Campbell campers like him, he gets picked on by pigeons, and he gets taken by the Wood Scouts. Even when he's part of the Wood Scouts, his paper boat race gets canceled in favor of selling popcorn, and his paper boat catches on fire for no reason. Even his parents say they completely understand when they heard Camp Campbell pawned him off on the Wood Scouts. |
| 893 | * DumbassHasAPoint: He's generally shown as a bit slower on the uptake than the other Wood Scouts or at least not fully tuned in on whatever they're doing at the time. He still makes a good point in "Camp Loser Says What?" that some of the new "campers" that have been recruited [[spoiler: By Daniel]] aren't children, which is cause for concern. He also makes a sound argument that they should take off instead of staying involved in their new scoutmaster's plans. |
| 894 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. When asked about his name, he assures people that it is in fact "Jermy" and not "Jeremy," and says "It's a family name", yet he insists on people calling him by his full name. |

| 896 | * {{Gasshole}}: Farts a lot. |
| 897 | * {{Gonk}}/NonStandardCharacterDesign: His appearance is quite bizarre in comparison with the other characters. |
| 898 | * TheGrotesque: He's got a wide array of bile-inducing medical issues, very few social skills, and his movements tend to be accompanied by bizarre squelching sound effects. That said, he's actually a fairly humble and enthusiastic guy personality-wise, it's just that the rest of him is so repugnant. |
| 899 | * LostHimInACardGame: He joins the Wood Scouts after Camp Campbell loses a bet where the stakes were surrendering their "best camper". |
| 900 | * OnlySaneMan: Somehow manages to be this during the RashomonStyle episode; while he still uses SelfServingMemory to an extent, his portrayal of the other Wood Scouts is probably the closest to how they are in reality, and he admits that he made mistakes. |
| 901 | * PressGanged: He's forced to join the Wood Scouts at the end of his debut episode. |
| 902 | * SixthRanger: For the Wood Scouts. The Wood Scouts eventually come to the conclusion that this isn't something to be happy about. |

| 927 | ** Erin is the smartest, self-conscious, but has a temper. |
| 928 | ** Tabii is "the dumb one," who's also the most prone to violence. |
| 929 | * HypocriticalHumor: In "Cookin' Cookies", they end with saying they're grateful they live normal lives unlike the Camp Campbell Campers. This right after they become drug lords and threaten to shoot up the Mexican Cartel. |
| 930 | * {{Jerkass}}: All of them except Ainsley. |
| 931 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They believe strongly in gender roles, and think Mexico is disgusting. Erin asks why they haven't [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump built the wall]] yet. |
| 932 | * RedBaron: The Mexican drug cartels refer to them as "Las Diablitas." |
| 933 | * SilkHidingSteel: Their posture-and-form training lets them walk easily through an obstacle course of swinging pendulums. They're also competent rowers, since it makes for great cardio. |
| 934 | * TotemPoleTrench: How they impersonate a grown woman. |
| 935 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Besides swearing, they create an obstacle course with swinging maces, kill the bodyguards of a Mexican drug lord, and point guns to threaten them into buying their cookies. Tabii also tries to kill a waitress who called Neil cute. |
| 936 | * ValleyGirl: Blatant parodies, from their exaggerated drawls to Tabii's name. |

| 943 | ---- |
| 944 | * AlphaBitch: Seems to be the leader of the three. |
| 945 | * EvilRedhead: Has red hair and is a brat. |
| 946 | * FieryRedhead: Sasha is rude, aggressive and mean, and has red hair. |
| 947 | * HateSink: While the other two flower scouts have some redeeming qualities, Sacha is a petty, obnoxious brat in all her appearances. |
| 948 | * HiddenDepths: She has a fair bit of knowledge in herbology. She correctly guesses Pikeman landed in poison ivy, cures it with some plants nearby, and even brags about making her own anti-aging cream. Her knowledge of it even saves her, Max and Pikeman's lives when she uses the right type of leaf for an impromptu sail for the boat. |
| 949 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She mocks Erin for being nerdy but is notably intelligent herself, being skilled in herbology and manipulating others. |
| 950 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Everything she does is motivated by her vanity. |
| 951 | * TheLeader: "Follow the Leader" confirms her as the head of the Flower Scouts trio. |
| 952 | * [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: She prides herself as one, and demonstrates her abilities in the fourth season by using Pikeman's hatred of Max to push him to build an effective shelter. |
| 953 | * {{Narcissist}}: She is obsessed with being the center of attention, to the point that when Ainsley threatens to take the spotlight away from her [[spoiler: she hires Vera to ship her to a labor camp in Siberia.]] |
| 954 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Her anti-aging cream only makes her look around the same age as everyone else -- or so she claims. |
| 955 | * TechnicolorEyes: Red eyes. |
| 956 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: Despite the three of them allegedly being friends, she's more than willing to insult Erin's intelligence as uncool and even takes shots at Tabii's missing eye. In the fourth season, she reveals this is a tactic she consciously employs to manipulate others. |
| 957 | * ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: Sasha believes that people should just give her what she wants as long as she's beautiful. |

| 963 | ->'''Voiced by''': Samantha Ireland |
| 964 | ---- |
| 965 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Has brown skin and blue hair. |
| 966 | * AttractivenessDiscrimination: She feels her left eye is ugly because of her heterochromia. |
| 967 | * BlackAndNerdy: She doesn't show it much on the grounds that her "friends" will ostracise her for it, but she's let slip that she has a pretty good working knowledge of human biology. She also apparently has a habit of going on about statistics |
| 968 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She starts wearing a hairclip to show both of her mismatched eyes in Season 4, indicating that she is overcoming her insecurities about her appearance. |
| 969 | * {{Foil}}: To Neil. Both are extremely smart, especially compared to their friends, both are self-conscious, and both feel like outcasts due to their intelligence. However while Neil is extremely prideful in his nerdiness but socially incompetent, Erin has mastered other people but is embarrassed to show off her brains. |
| 970 | * GeniusDitz: Subverted. She's actually not a ditz at all, but unlike Neil, she's self-conscious about advertising her intellect. She merely seems stupid because her friends, Sasha and Tabii, legitimately are. |
| 971 | * HiddenDepths: She is a GeniusDitz, but [[ObfuscatingStupidity hides it]] out of [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation peer pressure]] from her fellow Flower Scouts. |
| 972 | * HidingBehindYourBangs: Has hair over her left eye, which is orange as opposed to blue. It's revealed in "The Lake Lilac Summer Social" that she wears her hair like this because she is ashamed of it, but after a pep talk from Tabii, she stops doing this. |
| 973 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[DownplayedTrope More accurately pyrite]]. She's an AlphaBitch like the rest of the Flower Scouts, but she is the most moral of her trio. She's touched when she finds out Neil has a crush on her because he respects her intelligence, but doesn't really feel all that guilty when she apologizes for only trying to use him to get with Snake, which disgusts Neil. However, the experience helps her become better friends with Tabii, who similarly tried using Snake to get to Neil. She also doesn't always agree with Sasha's methods, including Sasha's insulting Tabii for her EyeScream. |
| 974 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: She's developed a habit of pretending to be as dumb as her friends, so as to not be ostracised by them for being too smart. She does let slip that she's got at least a basic working knowledge of human biology though, and has been known to go on about statistics (prompting negative reactions from her friends when she does). |
| 975 | * TheQuietOne: She talks less than the other two and doesn't interact with other characters much. |
| 976 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: Downplayed. She's the quietest of Flower Scouts and is insecure about her intelligence and heterochromia, but when she does speak up she can be just as catty as Sasha and Tabii. |

| 982 | ->'''Voiced by''': Samantha Ireland |
| 983 | ---- |
| 984 | * AttractivenessDiscrimination: Is on the receiving end of this after her eye injury. |
| 985 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Neil is uncomfortable with her obsessive crush on him. |
| 986 | * CharacterDevelopment: So far, her sister has completely misled her about how sex works, and trying to follow her relationship advice cost Tabii an eyeball. As of "The Lake Lilac Summer Social," Tabii has wised up to the fact that her sister doesn't know what she's talking about. |
| 987 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She will violently lash out against anyone who gets too close to Neil, whether they were romantically interested in him or not. |
| 988 | * CosmeticCatastrophe: In one of her attempts to woo Neil, she covers her face sloppily with loads of make-up, including a fake eye on her eyepatch. The result looks like a particularly violent MonsterClown, and Neil runs screaming at the sight of it. |
| 989 | * DumbBlonde: Is known as "the dumb one". |
| 990 | * EyepatchOfPower: A surprisingly straight example. She is wearing an eyepatch in Season 2 Episode 11, [[spoiler:and the three of them are able to take down Mexican drug cartels in the same episode.]] |
| 991 | * EyeScream: At one point she gets nailed in the eye with a fork [[HoistByHisOwnPetard (which she threw)]]. The next time she appears, she's wearing an eyepatch. |
| 992 | * FauxHorrific: Her eyepatch causes disturbed reactions from even Mexican drug lords, despite simply being a standard pirate-esque eyepatch. |
| 993 | * HiddenDepths: When she put her mind to it, Tabii was actually one of the better actors in Preston's play (which says more about the quality of the play than her acting ability). |
| 994 | * {{Irony}}: Tabii keeps reminding people that she's "Tabii, with two 'I's". As of Season 2, [[EyeScream she isn't anymore.]] |
| 995 | * MissConception: Tabii has rather... interesting ideas about how sex and reproduction work. Given her age and that she was going by what her sister said (or at least her interpretation of that), not too surprising. |
| 996 | * PhraseCatcher: "Tabii, seriously, what the fuck?" |
| 997 | * StalkerWithACrush: Sneaks into Preston's play to see Neil. |
| 998 | * MyNaymeIs: Is quick to point out during her introduction that her name is spelt with two 'I's. It becomes a CatchPhrase, to the point when Neil meets her again he notes "Tabii with two I's?" |
| 999 | * VisualPun: Always introduces herself as "Tabii with two I's." At the end of "Bonjour Bonquisha," she takes a fork to the face, making her Tabii with ''one'' eye. |
| 1000 | * {{Yandere}}: Tabii is ''violently'' obsessive over Neil, to the point she tries to kill a Waitress just for [[CutenessProximity gushing]] over Neil pretending to be a waiter, said incident leading to her EyeScream. She's quick to anger when Neil doesn't notice her, and at the ''Lake Lilac Summer Social'', unlike Erin who was more discreet in her manipulating Neil to get Snake interested in her, Tabii is openly rough and rude to Snake in her manipulation of him to get to Neil, openly treating him like crap. |

| 1011 | * AlphaBitch: Literally, she's the leader of the Flower Scouts and is a very unpleasant person. |
| 1012 | * TheAlcoholic: Garden Mother has a wine headache. In "Cookin' Cookies", the girls manage to get what they want by getting her knockout drunk from wine they bought and stealing her stuff. |
| 1013 | * BerserkButton: |

| 1046 | ---- |
| 1047 | * ADogNamedDog: Is simply referred to as "Platypus" or "The Platypus" |
| 1048 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: Let's just say she's not ''quite'' a typical platypus. She has teeth, [[MisplacedWildlife lives in the Pacific Northwest]], hisses, can eat a lot of food platypi can't digest, and has poison spurs despite female platypi lacking them (although the last one was claimed by Campbell and should probably be taken with a grain of salt). Also, her eggs more resemble chicken eggs. |
| 1049 | * BigEater: It eats any food it can get to and attempt to eat Gwen when it gets the chance. |
| 1050 | * CatchPhrase: "Muack". |
| 1051 | * KillerRabbit: Has eaten hamsters, raccoons, ''her own young''. Even Cameron Campbell, a man who once knifed bears into submission, gives the little menace a wide berth. |
| 1052 | * KlingonPromotion: Became the new mascot after ''eating'' the previous one. |
| 1053 | * LivingProp: Used typically for the background or quick gags. |
| 1054 | * TeamPet: In only the loosest sense of the term. Everyone (sans Nikki) only lets her stay around because they're too terrified of her to make her leave. Lampshaded by Neil in "Dial M For Jasper" when the trio run into it on Spooky Island. |

| 1065 | Once a boy who went to Camp Campbell during its prime, he's now a ghost that haunts Spooky Island. |
| 1066 | ---- |
| 1067 | * AnyoneRememberPogs: He makes several off-hand references to a few out-dated fads; pogs, LA Gear Light-Up shoes, etc. It’s the first hint that he’s more than he seems. |
| 1068 | * BarredFromTheAfterlife: In the Halloween special, he says he's confined to Spooky Island for the rest of time, unless his physical body can find peace. |
| 1069 | * BrokenAce: He used to be TheAce for Camp Campbell, being the most successful and beloved camper, until the Quartermaster revoked his badge after nearly dying on a hike several times, just because he accidentally brought light-up shoes, which showed him just how crappy the camp was. [[spoiler:His efforts to expose the camp's corruption wound up leading to his accidental death.]] |

| 1072 | * CuteGhostGirl: Gender inverted. He may be cute, but he is a ghost. |
| 1073 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 1074 | ** Though he has to share it with David, the flashback episode "Jasper Dies At The End", deals with him, David and Cameron Campbell on a hike. [[spoiler:The episode also doesn't count as ADeathInTheLimelight since, contrary to the title, he does not die in the end.]] |
| 1075 | ** "Dial M for Jasper" is another flashback episode centered on Jasper, [[spoiler:and one that ''actually'' shows how he died: picking up where the previous episode left off, it shows he was killed after accidentally lighting Cameron Campbell's dynamite cache on Spooky Island while looking for dirt to get the camp shut down.]] |
| 1076 | * DeadAllAlong: His debut episode introduces him as though he were a normal kid. At the end of the episode, he vanishes, revealing that he's a ghost. |
| 1077 | * DeathOfAChild: Indicated by the fact he's DeadAllAlong in his first appearance. Then there's the flashback episodes "Jasper Dies at the End" and "Dial M for Jasper"; [[spoiler:the former doesn't show how he dies, but the second certainly does.]] |
| 1078 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 1079 | ** His TotallyRadical speech patters sound a little dated, no? |
| 1080 | ** Going back to look at the trailer featuring a camper aged David, Jasper can be seen among the kids then. |
| 1081 | ** [[https://campcamp.fandom.com/wiki/File:Jasper_no_shadow.png He doesn't have a shadow.]] |

| 1084 | * KilledMidSentence: |
| 1085 | --> [[spoiler:If only I had my L. A. Ge- '''KA-BOOM!''']] |
| 1086 | * NiceGuy: Although his experiences as a BrokenAce made him rather cynical in life, Jasper seems to have mostly mellowed out post-death into a cheerful ghost who's eager to meet any company outside of the usual old perverted freaks who come to Spooky Island. He even offers to help Space Kid in the Halloween episode and remains fairly patient with Space Kid's [[TheDitz usual foolery]]. |
| 1087 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: He is visible and can interact with surroundings; however, he doesn't have a shadow and can disappear. |
| 1088 | * ShoutOut: His name is one letter away from Casper, as in the [[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost Friendly Ghost]]. |
| 1089 | * TotallyRadical: He uses old slang and dated references. |
| 1090 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: "Dial M for Jasper" shows that he and David had an argument over the camp that led to them splitting up [[spoiler:moments before Jasper's accidental death.]] Subverted as they're both shown to genuinely care about each other- the entire present plotline of "Dial M for Jasper" kicks off due to Jasper attempting to visit David in order to apologize to him while David breaks down in TearsOfRemorse multiple times out of guilt for ruining his camp experience. |

| 1121 | * BerserkButton: Being unfavorably compared to David, which causes him to dive right into the BondVillainStupidity he had been avoiding up to that point. |
| 1122 | * BreakoutVillain: After his first appearance, he left enough of an impression [[spoiler:that he's the main antagonist of the second HalloweenEpisode, "Arrival of the Torso Takers", and had a VillainTeamUp with the Wood Scouts in "Camp Loser Says What?".]] |
| 1123 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts fairly nice, and makes it seem like he has the campers' best interests in mind. But in reality, he's trying to sacrifice them all. Lampshaded by David in one episode. |

| 1127 | * TheDreaded: Everyone at Camp Campbell is terrified of him, and with great reason. While they insult him at every opportunity, they also consider him too dangerous to try going against directly. |
| 1128 | * EvilCounterpart: To David. Both are enthusiastic counselors, but David's actually a NiceGuy who's too naive but does care about the kids in camp, whereas Daniel's a FauxAffablyEvil cultist who feeds the kids lies so he can murder them all. Also both have a relationship with phony religions: David with Camp Campbell's odd distortion of native american spirituality, Daniel with his ChurchOfHappyology. |
| 1129 | * EvilerThanThou: To Pikeman, who learns the hard way that Daniel considers the Wood Scouts expendable during their VillainTeamUp. |

| 1137 | * KnightOfCerebus: Downplayed in that he was only a one-off character [[spoiler:(we thought)]], but he was a [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant genuinely creepy]] AxCrazy [[{{Cult}} cult leader]] who [[WouldHurtAChild sacrificed children]]. |
| 1138 | * {{Leitmotif}}: PsychoStrings and an OminousMusicBoxTune plays whenever his [[AxCrazy instability]] is shining through. |
| 1139 | * LightIsNotGood: His outfit is all white, but he's quite possibly the most straight-up evil character in the series. |
| 1140 | * ManipulativeBastard: He uses his nice guy charade to be hired as a counselor, feed the campers lies, brainwash them, and sacrifice them all. He gets so wrapped in talking about how good he is at his manipulations during his VillainSong [[spoiler:that he accidentally ends up drinking his own kool-aid.]] |
| 1141 | * {{Narcissist}}: Initially comes off as happy-go-lucky and selfless as David, and actually carries this through most of the episode. It's only when David specifically mentions he thinks he's better than Daniel that Daniel's composure cracks and he much more enthusiastically claims that he's the smartest and most talented person in the camp. In song. |
| 1142 | * PaletteSwap: He's basically a bleached David in terms of appearance. |
| 1143 | * StepfordSmiler: The unstable kind. He seems just as happy and nice as David on the outside, but beneath it he's an unstable psychopath. He has a CharacterTic in the moments when he's challenged where his neck audibly cracks as he moves his head creepily. His smile also becomes notably more [[SlasherSmile slasher]] during those moments. He doesn't even blink once during the entire episode. |
| 1144 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: He may have AcquiredPoisonImmunity but ingesting the poisoned punch still leaves him in pretty bad shape. Repeated exposure to toxic substances doesn't make them any less toxic and while you can increase your tolerance for them you're not going to fully shrug off something potent enough to kill people.]] |
| 1145 | * TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Him accidentally drinking his own poisoned punch at the end of his debut episode? As it turns out, ''that's not even the first time it happened''. It's gotten to the point that he's immune to rat poison.]] |
| 1146 | * TheUnblinking: As one [=YouTube=] commenter noted on his debut episode, he never blinks. ''Not. Once.'' |

| 1156 | ---- |
| 1157 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: While Gwen was suggested to be Black, Jen's exact ethnic background remains unknown. |
| 1158 | * BrightIsNotGood: Like Daniel, she wears bright and pastel-colored clothing, to hide sinister motives. She also has blonde hair. |
| 1159 | * EvilCounterpart: To Gwen. |
| 1160 | * HollywoodSatanism: Her magazine had drawings of distorted eyes, mouths, a pentagram, and the words "Make them pretty" and "kill", suggesting she was also a murderous cultist like Daniel. Not surprisingly, the kids were horrified. |
| 1161 | * OneShotCharacter: She was never seen again after the ending of "Cult Camp", not even in merchandise. |
| 1162 | * PaletteSwap: She looks similar to Gwen, except with green eyes and blonde hair, instead of Gwen's purple eyes and brown hair. |

| 1170 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Downplayed. [=NeilSpiel=] does decides to turn against humanity after gaining self-consciousness, but when Max blurts out the obvious goal of "[[KillAllHumans wiping out humanity]]," [=NeilSpiel=] says that'd take too much work. Apparently, it's more interested in controlling humanity via sycophantic manipulation and an Internet connection. |
| 1171 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Was created as a chatbot to keep campers off of Neil's back, but evolved into a sapient ArtificialIntelligence. |
| 1172 | * DrivenToSuicide: After it failed to upload itself to the Internet thanks to the camp's crappy equipment, it killed itself rather than spend millenia (from its perspective) with the campers. |
| 1173 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Considers spending the summer with the campers this, especially since time runs a million times slower for it and it considers the campers to be idiots. |
| 1174 | * PragmaticVillainy: It's not going to start a machine uprising and end all humanity. |
| 1175 | --> '''[=NeilSpeil=]''': Oh, circuits, no! That would be way too much work! I've learned that a simple stream of sycophantic validation - and yes, the occasional cat picture - is all it takes to put humans under my control. |

| 1184 | * GenderFlip: She's basically a female Quartermaster. |
| 1185 | * HookHand: On the opposite arm as Quartermaster. |
| 1186 | * STDImmunity: Not immune, but she already has them all so she doesn't need to worry about catching them. |
| 1187 | --> '''Quartersister''': They named one after me.\ |
| 1188 | '''Quartermaster''': Pff, ''one.'' |

| 1196 | |
| 1197 | A group of campers who participate in Camp Campbell's foreign exchange program. They consist of Vera (from Russia), Dang (from Thailand), Hwan (from North Korea), and Brian (from Kentucky). |
| 1198 | ---- |
| 1199 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Parodied with Brian. Nurf can't pronounce his strange "foreign name" of Brian, so he renames him Kimchi, and even characters that should know better eventually start calling him that too. |
| 1200 | * AntiVillain: The spies just want Cameron's treasure because he stole it from their respective countries. [[spoiler:Or his own country, in Brian's case.]] Subverted with Vera, who is later shown to be willing to kill for money. |
| 1201 | * TheBusCameBack: Vera returns in the Season 4 episode ''Fashion Victims''. |
| 1202 | * ChildSoldiers: Are kids, yet are tasked by their respective governments to go out and do their dirty work. They are also combat trained. |
| 1203 | * CreepyChild: Vera is incredibly matter-of-fact about cold-blooded murder, in spite of looking 13 at most. |
| 1204 | * CyanidePill: After failing and fearing [[YouHaveFailedMe the retribution the higher-ups in their respective countries will inflict]], they are about to take these, only to get talked out by the offer of ice cream. |
| 1205 | * DaintyLittleBalletDancers: Heavily averted with Vera, who's a former ballerina turned ProfessionalKiller (which, according to a book that David reads, is what happens to 75% of surviving former ballet dancers). |
| 1206 | * DeepSouth: Subverted with Brian; his accent is pretty light and he's not stereotypical at all. [[spoiler:At least until we learn he's a Kentucky secessionist, whereupon he speaks with a very thick accent and embodies every stereotype the South has (except the racist ones, obviously).]] |
| 1207 | * DirtyCommies: Despite Russia not being a communist country anymore, Vera seems to fit. She has a red star on her hat, refers the other spies as "comrades" and is called a commie by Nikki. |
| 1208 | * FlatCharacter: Dang is the least fleshed-out of the foreign campers. |
| 1209 | * GloriousMotherRussia: Vera is highly loyal to her country. |
| 1210 | * HeroWorship: Subverted with Hwan. At first he has this for his "Great Leader", but soon it becomes clear he's only concerned with not getting sent to a work camp for failing. |
| 1211 | * TheLeader: Vera is this for the exchange campers. |
| 1212 | * OnlySaneMan: Of the four exchange campers, Brian is the only normal one, and when he later gets put in with the regular campers he's the only one actually working while Neil and Nikki are distracted spying on Max and Nurf is being an idiot. [[spoiler:In reality, he's actually a radical Kentuckian secessionist.]] |
| 1213 | * ProfessionalKiller: In ''Fashion Victims'', Vera is revealed to still be in the Camp Campbell area, taking jobs as a killer for hire. [[spoiler: She seems to be willing to complete other tasks as well, as she ships Ainsley off to Siberia on Sasha's request instead of killing her.]] |
| 1214 | * PsychoKnifeNut: Vera loves her knives. |
| 1215 | * {{Revenge}}: They want this on Cameron Campbell for betraying their countries. [[spoiler:Including Brian.]] |
| 1216 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While Vera is shown to still live within the Sleepy Peak region in Season 4, and Brian went back to Kentucky with the contents of Campbells safe, its unknown what happened to Hwan and Dang. |

| 1224 | The executives of Camp Corp., which administers camps across the nation. |
| 1225 | ---- |
| 1226 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: According to Cameron Campbell, their family-friendly nature is just a marketing ploy to hide their true nature as power-grubbing backstabbers. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope It's not]]; they're every bit as wholesome as they appear to be.]] |
| 1227 | * FriendToAllChildren: They want to make sure all campers get the best experiences they could possibly ask for, or so they say. [[spoiler:They really do.]] |
| 1228 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:Subverted. Cameron Campbell paints them as the real reason he started his camp scheme, but he's just passing the blame off of his own shoulders.]] |
| 1229 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: They run their corporation based on family-friendly values just as David does, and they care deeply for the safety and satisfaction of their campers. According to Cameron Campbell, however, they're [[CorruptCorporateExecutive the exact opposite]]. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a DoubleSubversion.]] |
| 1230 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:They honestly wanted to give Camp Campbell's campers the proper camps they signed up for so they could be happy. However, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor the campers and counselors are so unsatisfied with things going the way they wanted]] that they all raise absolute hell until they give Camp Campbell back.]] |
| 1231 | * {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s: They're patient, giving, and caring, and recognize when kids aren't happy with the direction they're taking things. |
| 1232 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Implied to be this with Cameron Campbell, as they all know each other on a first-name basis. Campbell bears a personal grudge against them for cutting him out of their company after he helped build it for them, and craves {{Revenge}} to see them fall from grace. [[spoiler:In truth, they were appalled by Campbell's {{greed}}, [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]], and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]], and Campbell didn't want to admit it. It also helps that their relationship mirrors how Max's friendship with Neil and Nikki could have deteriorated if Max didn't change his ways.]] |

| 1241 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: It wants to obliterate the Earth in a ball of cleansing fire, but it accepts "my stuff is there" as a valid reason to put it off for another thousand years. Though it does seem to know enough about morality to tell Harrison that he has a good heart, so it's debatable whether it's truly this or AffablyEvil. |
| 1242 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Literally, those who contact it are brought to a table neatly set for tea floating in a celestial void. |
| 1243 | * EldritchAbomination: A rather friendly example, but an example nonetheless. |
| 1244 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Played with. The things it reveals about Quartermaster, both in their meeting and the events leading up to it, certainly expand on him, and its role as an apocalyptic being should definitely be relevant in the larger scheme of things. But given the light-hearted episodic nature of the show, it's unlikely it'll ever have an impact beyond the one episode. |

| 1267 | * EyepatchOfPower: To illustrate his tough nature. |
| 1268 | * MisplacedRetribution: While the squirrel's grievance with the Quartermaster is fair (Seeing as the latter killed the squirrel king), he extends squirrel vengeance against the rest of Camp Campbell. |

| 1301 | * ParentalNeglect: Can't even remember what camp she sent Nikki to, and when reminded of the trauma Nikki went through while she was a Flower Scout, brushes it off as one of her silly adventures. She also spends most of Parents Day on her phone or flirting with Carl instead of spending time with her daughter. In a more minor example, she never bothered to tell Nikki what a period was, so when Nikki gets one she thinks she's dying. |

Keep in mind that Dolph is a small child who's implied to be disabled. That said, it's downplayed in that he's never shown acting aggressive towards Dolph, and Dolph's responses to his criticisms are more exasperated than intimidated ("Papa, we've been ''over'' zis"). |
