Recap / Camp Camp S 4 E 2 Attack Of The Nurfs

Go To

The camp gets a 3D printer, but things get out of hand when Nurf decides to print copies of... himself?


Tropes:

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Nurf tells his first two clones that he wishes there were only Nurfs at the camp. He quickly decides he doesn't like the result when they take him up on the idea.
  • Chain of People: The rest of the camp form one to save Nurf from getting sucked into the black hole.
  • Character Development: Nurf realises that the reason he bullies people is a lack of companionship, and renounces bullying once he gets that companionship. Even when he goes back on his promise in the end, he only does so for a good cause on Max's say-so.
  • Chekhov's Gag: At the start of the episode, Campbell admits the 3D printer was an impulse buy and notes to himself that he has to turn off one-click buying. At the end, he saves the day by overloading Neil's particle collider by turning on a blender, which was another one-click impulse buy.
  • Clone Army: Nurf's first two copies create one when Nurf says he wishes there was only him at the camp.
  • Clone Degeneration: The Nurf copies get dumber the more are made since the Nurfs they were made from are copies themselves. Nurf #2 compares them to an .mp3 compared to a lossless .flac.
  • Comically Missing the Point: When Nurf, not doing well at arts and crafts, asks to do something else, David replies in the affirmative... and gives him some wind chimes to make instead.
  • A Day in the Limelight: This episode focuses on Nurf.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Nurf realises that bullying feels a lot more empty when he has someone he actually gets along with, and comes to the conclusion that he bullied people to deal with his loneliness because that was the only thing he knew growing up.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Nurf does a non-verbal version of this when Nurf #2 rallies the copies to take over the camp and run everyone else out.
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: David says "Gasp!" when he sees Gwen playing with a VR headset made with the 3D printer.
  • Shout-Out: Nurf goes Super Saiyan at the zenith of his "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Nurf does this to his copies to herd them towards Neil's particle collider.
  • Unrealistic Black Hole: Neil's particle collider creates one that sucks in all the Nurf copies (almost) and nearly the other campers as well.
  • Who Needs Their Whole Body?: Nurf #2 somehow bloodlessly survives having his lower half eaten by a black hole.
  • Wingding Eyes: Quartermaster's open eye turns into a nuclear explosion when he gets pranked by Nurf and his copies. Being Quartermaster, this is the biggest sign of anger he shows over the whole thing.
