7	----
8	!!"Gone Fishin' (Sort of)" contains examples of:
9	* BrickJoke: The drain in the lake and the lake monster.
10	* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When fog starts surrounding the lake, the Jellies are only visible by their eyes.
11	* CoolBoat: Lumpus' fishing boat looks more like a spaceship than a boat.
12	* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
13	** Scoutmaster Lumpus calls the Bean Scouts "derelicts" who can't do anything for themselves [[HypocriticalHumor while making Slinkman tie his lure for him]], establishing him as a lazy grump who doesn't even want to be in charge of Camp Kidney.
14	** The Jellies are first seen playing pretend with each other, establishing that they're playful kids.
15	*** Lazlo is the most gung-ho about helping a jerk like Lumpus, establishing his adventurous, kind personality and his inability to see the negative traits in others.
16	*** Raj is [[OnlySaneMan cautious and cynical]] about helping Lumpus, but he goes ahead with Lazlo and Clam anyway.
17	*** Clam's [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker odd ways of speaking]] and how he holds the canoe without breaking a sweat establishes him as [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} strange]] and [[PintSizedPowerhouse strong]].
18	** The Squirrel Scouts drive up to Camp Kidney in a luxury fishing boat, all of the fish jumping into their boat. This firmly establishes how they frequently [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter outperform the Bean Scouts in numerous ways]].
19	** We get to see Slinkman as a YesMan who is oft-ignored by Lumpus. His scene in bringing out Lumpus' speedboat also tells the audience he's a HypercompetentSidekick.
20	* FishingEpisode: In this episode, Lumpus is determined to catch a fish despite the fact that nobody in Camp Kidney has been able to catch one. Lazlo, Raj, and Clam try to help by taking Lumpus' boat for a joyride and fishing in its spot when it runs out of fuel. When Lumpus catches up to them, he gets attacked by the legendary Leakey Lake monster, but still manages to catch a fish in the process.
21	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Lazlo and Raj discuss if they should help Lumpus in the foreground while Lumpus gets beaten up by the lake monster in the background as Clam watches.
22	* HideAndNoSeek: Lumpus convinces the scouts by telling them "You can help me by NOT helping me." Of course, this results in Lumpus actually needing help...
23	* OminousFog: When the Jellies are stranded on the lake, creepy fog appears.
24	* RhymesOnADime: "There was a beep-beep, and then a boop, and then it just went kapoot!"
25	* StealthPun: After the other kids refuse to join Lazlo in catching a fish, a clucking noise plays. They're too ''chicken''.
26	* ThrowTheDogABone: Lumpus manages to catch a fish at the end.
27	* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: Lazlo and Clam accidentally start Lumpus' speedboat just by pressing random buttons.
28
29	!!"Beans Are from Mars" contains examples of:
30	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: When the other kids hear the ice cream truck outside, they get distracted instantly.
31	* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
32	** Chip and Skip run into the wall (and then each other) when trying to leave the mess hall for ice cream, establishing them as a pair of {{Single Minded\|Twins}} [[TheDitz Ditzes]].
33	** The Squirrel Scout trio quickly establish themselves as a BeautyBrainsAndBrawn trio: Patsy stands around looking pretty, Nina reads a science fiction book called "Electroid Space Borgs", and Gretchen wolfs down her ice cream ravenously.
34	*** Patsy cries over Lazlo being an alien (and calls him "my Lazlo"), showing the audience she has a crush on him.
35	* HypocriticalHumor: Gretchen thinks Bean Scouts are gross despite eating her ice cream like a pig and burping without even excusing herself.
36	* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat:
37	-->'''Nina:''' [[TakeMeToYourLeader Take us to your leader...]] ''[Giggles]'' I have always wanted to say that.
38	* MarsAndVenusGenderContrast:
39	-->'''Patsy:''' Ms. Mucus, why are boys so weird?\
40	'''Nina:''' Yeah!\
41	'''Gretchen:''' And gross, too?\
42	'''Ms. Mucus:''' Because they're from Mars! [...] You girls can believe what you want, but I have yet to meet a man that I knew for a fact wasn't completely from another planet!
43	* PoorCommunicationKills: Ms. Mucus' MarsAndVenusGenderContrast philosophy ends up making the Squirrel Scouts think the Bean Scouts are actual aliens.
44	* StaticElectricity: The Jellies fool around with it, which lets the Squirrels further believe that they're aliens.
45	* StickySituation: The Squirrel Scouts trick the Jellies into eating glue.
