  • The dance. Starts out as awkward as you'd expect given fat, geeky campers with image problems and good-looking girls, but between the disco music and the bad dancing, everyone starts having fun. Doubles as a Funny Moment as well.
    • Extra kudos go to Tim for getting fed up with the purposeful humiliation of the boys (the real point of Tony setting up the dance), and deciding to personally get the party started by dancing away like a goofball by himself on the floor.
    • Sam actually scores a genuine kiss on the Alpha girl at the end of the party.
  • The food-for-all after Tony has been imprisoned. Admit it, as a kid, dancing around a giant bonfire while chowing down on everything is a dream come true.
  • Pat giving his impassioned speech about the campers taking responsibility for themselves, followed by the montage of everyone doing just that.
  • Jerry's Dad sucker-punching Tony in the gut:
    Jerry's Dad: You're wrong! You are THROUGH HERE!
  • Pat leaving Tony in the jail the kids set up. Pat had just found out the kids had imprisoned Tony and noticing the incredible illegalities of this, tries to let him out... when Tony makes the mistake of insulting Pat and threatening to castrate him. Pat promptly regags Tony and asks if the kids are sure the ropes are tight enough.
  • Nicholas during the Apache Relay. While Camp MVP was able to get ahead on the first stretch based on physical ability, when they get to the Hall of Intelligence, one of the members is promptly stumped by the academic questions... which Nicholas passes in no time flat and puts Camp Hope ahead.
    • Even more hilariously, he's a British kid answering questions about American history. How many Vice Presidents can you name?
      • Cher?
  • The MVP kids use their speedboat to verbally abuse the campers and vandalize their property. Eventually, the motor disappears, and is heavily implied to have been stolen by the campers to use to fix their go-kart for the Apache Relay. Which makes it Laser-Guided Karma when Camp Hope wins.
  • When the MVP camp has the nerve to contest Camp Hope's victory, the latter decides to toss the trophy into the lake to spite them.
  • After Gerry gets hit by a pitch during a softball game against Camp MVP, their catcher mocks him as he walks to first base. Roy proceeds to jab his bat into the catcher's gut, and he falls to the ground in pain.
  • When Josh got kicked out of the camp, his attorney father was able to persuade Tony to let him back in.
