Camp Lakebottom is a Canadian animated series produced by 9 Story Media Group that aired on
Teletoon in its home country, as well as on Disney XD in the U.S. It was created by Eric Jacobson and
Betsy McGowen, and ran for 64 episodes over 3 seasons between 2013 and 2017.

Summer has arrived! That means it's time to for kids to go to summer camp, and ever-eager 12-year-
old McGee couldn't be more thrilled to spend his summer at Camp Sunnysmiles, the most elite
summer camp in all of Canada — even if he has to spend his time there with his overbearing sister,
Suzi. But thanks to Suzi and rich jerk Jordan Buttsquat (whose dad owns Camp Sunnysmiles), he,
along with an aloof girl named Gretchen and a big, softhearted goof named Squirt, wind up taking the
bus to the creepy, old summer camp across the lake known as Camp Lakebottom. It's a gloomy wreck
of a camp, staffed by a friendly zombie named Sawyer, a fancypants sasquatch named Armand, and
a short, surly lunchlady named Rosebud. Though spooked at first, the trio find out Camp Lakebottom

and could never pass even the most basic safety testing".
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: "Attack of the 50-Foot Squirt".

Cow Tipping: The campers try to do this in the "Bloody Marty" episode while staying up past their

two of them often performing a musical dance act together. But after McGee played off accidentally
dropping his pants into a comedy routine, Suzi got angry at him for "ruining the show" and
"humiliating" her, leading to her current antagonistic attitude towards him.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: After Buttsquat banned gum, Suzi and a number of other
Sunnysmiles campers started acting like they were drug addicts on withdrawal.

McGee's bed.
"Freaky Friday" Flip: In "Being McGee", a cursed amulet causes McGee and Buttsquat to swap
bodies.
Friend to All Living Things: Squirt.

him attempting to make a pet of every creepy-crawly that finds its way into camp, no matter how
terrifying or potentially lethal it is.
From Bad to Worse: Everything that happens in Camp Lakebottom.
Futureshadowing: In "Clockwork Slime", the Bottom Dwellers went to the future of Camp
Lakebottom, only to see future Buttsquat's slime factory. Since they went to the future, the present
Buttsquat started making money out of the slime after he got hit by its geyser.
Ghost Pirate: Captain Spitbeard, and the ghost cabin boy Swabby, in "Pirates of Ickygloomy".

Literally everyone in "Stage Fright".
Suzi gets electrocuted in "When Suzis Attack", resulting an a Bride of Frankenstein hairdo.
Has Two Mommies: Although it's not shown on-screen, Buttsquat alludes to it.
McGee: Buttsquat, get out of the water!
Buttsquat: What are you, my moms?

Hiccup Hijinks: The episode, appropriately titled "Hiccups", has McGee getting hiccups when he
drinks fizzy water mixed with break berries. Unfortunately, it makes everything around him
disappear. He eventually loses them after literally hiccupping away everything when in the falls.
Hidden Depths: It is implied from time to time that Buttsquat is actually very lonely, and he
constantly clashes with the Bottom Dwellers because they're the ones he feels closest to.
Hoist by His Own Petard: In "Gnome Force", McGee makes Papa Gnome turn himself to stone
using the reflective mascot suit Buttsquat made him wear.
How We Got Here: In almost every episode. "Escape From Camp Lakebottom" is a notable
exception.

Tiki idol and accidentally unleash an ancient Tiki deity. Although the deity initially seems nice, he
soon gives the campers the "honor" of being his prey in the Great Tiki Hunt.

him from inside his head).
Improvised Parachute: In "Frankenfixer", McGee uses Sawyer's handkerchief as a parachute.
Indy Escape: McGee and Buttsquat are chased by a giant boulder while raiding an ancient temple
at the start of "Being McGee".
I Taste Delicious: At some point in "Marshmallow Madness" Squirt is seen licking his
"Rashmallows" on his skin.
McGee: Eww, Squirt. It's probably not a good idea to lick them.
Squirt: Aww, but I'm so delicious!

It's a Wonderful Plot: The plot of "It's a Horrible Life" features McGee messing up a surprise party
for Squirt, making him feel so awful he wishes he never existed. A fairy goblin named Torus grants
his wish, revealing a universe where Buttsquat took over Camp Lakebottom, renamed it Camp
Sunnybottom, and enslaved everyone there.
It's All About Me: Suzi will always put her own needs above everyone else's.
It's Always Spring: The show is set during summer vacation.

Letting the Air Out of the Band: Happens to Frankie's electronic voice after McGee removes the two
brains and the jar of evil pickles from his head in "Frankenfixer".
Light Is Not Good: At the same time, Sunnysmiles is a bright, high-tech camp full of Jerkasses run
by a tyrannic Buttsquat.
Literally Shattered Lives: Averted in the Taken for Granite example below. It's just a stone-shell
over the target.
Living Clothes: In "Late Afternoon of the Living Gitch", Squirt's stinky underwear is washed in toxic
cleanser and comes alive: leading the rest of the laundry on a campaign of terror.
Made of Explodium: In "Slimey Come Home" when the giant crab rips one of the Sunnysmiles
cabins out of the ground and skips it across the lake, it explodes after a distance.
Magic Meteor: The Lakebottom campers and Buttsquat gain temporary superpowers in the "The
Superfantastic Mega-Buds" episode from a glowing meteorite that lands in the middle of the camp.

The Men in Black: Armand in "The Spy Who Squatched


Me" as .
Mix-and-Match Critters: Many animals seen near Camp Lakebottom are a combination of two or
more creatures. Examples include rhino-chickens, bat bunnies and zom-bees.
Moral Myopia: Suzi. She insults and antagonizes McGee and his friends remorsely, but if one of
them even accidentally inconveniences her, she treats it as something heinous and worthy of
instant, terrible retribution. She sees nothing wrong with this attitude, and even claims in "Head Two
Head" that she's "always nice."
My Beloved Smother: Sawyer's mom, who is not only sickeningly doting, but an old-school undead
brain-eating zombie who tries to get her son to start noshing on noggins again.
The Napoleon: Ittibiticus the minotaur.
Never My Fault: In "Sword of Ittibiticus," Suzi messes with McGee by opening and closing the
screen on one of Buttsquat's fancy jetskis, pretending to let him have some air conditioning on a
hot summer's day. Inevitably, the mechanism breaks, leaving it stuck halfway, which Suzi
immediately blames on McGee.
Never Say "Die": In the episode "Nanny Num Nums" where the trio face a Life Drinker that likes to
speak in rhyme.
Nanny Num Nums: What is this? Two meddling kids, I spy! One more breath and you two shall...give me your
youth!

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Most of the shenanigans throughout the series are caused by McGee.
Nightmare Fetishist: All the kids at Camp Lakebottom to an extent, but in particular Squirt.
Nothing but Skulls: In "Cheeks of Dread", the lair of the killer chipmunk Chipper contains a mound
of human skulls.
Our Dragons Are Different: McGee's pet dragon Lizzy in "How to Potty Train your Dragon".
Our Gnomes Are Weirder: "Gnome Force".
Our Mermaids Are Different: Esmeralda, the antagonist of "McGee the Mermaid". The gang find her
inside a trunk, and plots to Take Over the World with quite a voice to match.
Our Vampires Are Different: "Bite of the Buttsquat" has Buttsquat bitten by multiple bat bunnies that
turns him into a "Campire".
Our Werebeasts Are Different: "Cluck of the Were-Chicken".
Our Zombies Are Different: Sawyer doesn't desire to eat brains. He's just a big friendly undead guy.
Although a throwaway line Played for Laughs at the end of "Zombie Dearest" has him say that
he does desire to eat brains (and regularly fantasizes about eating the brains of the campers),
he just chooses not to act on it so he can be a camp counselor.

Pirate Episode: In "Pirates of Ickygloomy", while playing Pirates on a shipwreck, the Bottom
Dwellers must battle the Ghost Pirate Spitbeard the Pirate, who is determined to win back his ship.
Pop the Tires: This is one of the dirty tricks Buttsquat pulls on McGee in "Slimeball Run".
Potty Emergency: In "Camp Lockdownbottom", the camp is turned into a prison. However, McGee
desperately needs to go, and soon discovers that the latrines are on the other side of the fence.
The Power of Rock: In "The Great Tiki Hunt", McGee overcomes the evil Tiki god with the power of
a ukulele solo.
Prison Episode: In "Camp Lockdownbottom", Rosebud turns Camp Lakebottom into a prison after
her favourite ladle goes missing. Prison tropes immediately set in with McGee planning a Great
Escape and Armand getting prison tattoos cut into his fur.
Puppeteer Parasite: "Mindsuckers from the Depths" has an army of mind control leeches hell-bent
on world domination with their leader, the largest, taking head on Squirt.
A Rare Sentence: From "Fanboy Freakout":
Gretchen: "Squirt, don't eat our fake poop. There's a sentence I never thought I'd have to say. Again."

Road Sign Reversal: In the first episode, Jordan does this to send the bus carrying McGee,
Gretchen and Squirt to Camp Lakebottom instead of Camp Sunnysmiles.
Running Gag: Sawyer's limbs falling off and Buttsquat yelling about having revenge.
Scary Scarecrows: In "The Ghost in the Mower", the campers summon up a ghostly groundskeeper
called the Grim Keeper to take care of their overgrown soccer field. The Grim Keeper manifests in
the form of a scary scarecrow.
Scary Stinging Swarm: In "Pod Parents," Suzi disturbs a hive of "zombees" and is shown badly
stung in a subsequent scene.
Sealed Evil in a Can: In "Pandora's Jock", the counselors banished the training titan Jacques the
Jock to limbo by sealing him in an old television and tossing it into the shed. Naturally, McGee lets
him out.
Self-Serving Memory: In "Jaws of Old Toothy", Buttsquat's interpretation of him against Old Toothy
depicts him as a muscular Adonis defeating him with ease. Sawyer's version isn't nearly as
dignified.
Sequel Episode:
From "Zombie Dearest" to "Zombie Scouts".
From "Sword of Ittibiticus" to "Ice Queen".
From "The Spy Who Squatched Me" to "Live and Let Squatch".
From "The Day Squirt Stood Still" to "You Sank My Battle-Squirt!".

Buttsquat once put on an super, assembling armour that has a striking resemblance to Iron
Man.
The title of The Spy Who Squatched Me is a reference to The Spy Who Loved Me.
The "Mega Bottom Robot ... thing" and "Mighty Mega Squirt" are both references to Power
Rangers; with all of the Lake Bottomers diving into pods that assemble into a giant robot.
Sawyer's upgraded Zomborg form is a reference to the Terminator.
Shrunken Head: There are trees around the camp with shrunken heads hanging from the branches
that snap at anyone who gets close.
Squirt: Ahhh! Shrunken head! Can you eat shrunken heads?

Gretchen: No, but they can eat us!

Similar Squad:
The kids find Camp Bottomlake in an underwater cave, containing Fish People versions of
themselves and a Giant Squid version of Buttsquat. There aren't any counselors to be found
though (it's implied that the Buttsquid may have had something to do with that).
In "Now With 100% More Portal", The Bottom Dwellers went to a different dimension where they
meet their zombified selves, alongside with the counselors.

In "Tur-Keepin' It Real", there are turkeysaurus versions of the Bottom Dwellers and the
counselors.
Spoiled Brat: Buttsquat.
Summer Campy: Naturally.
Swiss Army Appendage: Sawyer's right hand contains everything, but for some reason he most
prominently wields the chain-saw.
Taken for Granite: In "Gnome Force", Papa Gnome does this to the counselors with his monocle
after demonstrating with several items, including a head of cabbage, a bucket, a chicken, and a
rock.
Taking the Bullet: In "Late Afternoon of the Living Gitch", Gitchy (who is a pair of Squirt's
underpants that has been brought to life) leaps in front of McGee to take a shot of super-strength
fabric cleaner fired by Buttsquat. This is played exactly like this trope, including the dramatic slo-
mo.
The Teaser: Episodes open with a clip of the climatic scene, framed as a (title) postcard from
McGee to his mother with a quip about plot events.
¡Three Amigos!: McGee, Squirt, and Gretchen.
Terrifying Tiki: McGee and his friends unleash one of these in "The Great Tiki Hunt".

Toilet Paper Prank: In "Late Afternoon of the Living Gitch", Buttsquat attempts to wrap Lakebottom
in toilet paper. However, he ends up wrapped in toilet paper and hanging from a tree.

Trap-Door Fail: In "Stage Fright", Gretchen attempts to sabotage Suzi's audition by opening a trap
door on the stage. When this misses, she opens additional trap doors (by continually yanking the
same lever) until most of the stage has dropped away. This still fails who get Suzi, who eventually
falls though a trap door in the back wall.
Unconventional Food Usage: In "Fanboy Freakout", Gretchen uses chocolate to create fake
Sasquatch droppings. (It Makes Sense Incontext.)
Ungrateful Bastard: Buttsquat and Suzi have been saved by the Bottom Dwellers time and again,
yet neither one has ever uttered one word of thanks.
Vegetarian Zombie: Sawyer does want to eat brains, apparently, but his sense of duty as a camp
counselor and his love for the kids keep him from doing so.
Wacky Racing: "Slimeball Run" features a race across the swamp with ownership of Camp
Lakebottom at stake.
Walk the Plank: Ghost Pirate Captain Spitbeard tries to make McGee walk the plank (off a flying
ship) in "Pirates of Ickygloomy". He ends up going off the plank himself.
Weaponized Car: Buttsquat's Beach Blitzer in "Slimeball Run". Its weapons include missiles, a dart
gun, and a giant magnifying glass.
Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: A surname example. What kind of family would keep the name
"Buttsquat"?
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Gretchen is afraid of chipmunks, although the events of "Cheeks
of Dread" seemingly cure her.
World of Weirdness: Oh, where do we begin? In case you couldn't guess from the premise or the
fact that the place is staffed by a zombie, sasquatch, and a cook with the grossest food on her
menu, the titular Camp Lakebottom is a good ol' fashion hotspot for such strangeness as a desert
complete with a mummy's tomb, access to a Lost World, a tree that lets one time travel, is near a
forest with countless spooks, and even the very wildlife is weird and dangerous such as giant
talking raccoon bandits and demon chipmunks with a taste for flesh. And you cannot overlook how
the counselors themselves have a vast collection of supernatural and possessed objects such as a
titan held prisoner in a tv set or the remains of an evil sentient rally truck.
Yet Another Christmas Carol: In "Smells Like The Holidays", McGee inadvertently causes Squirt to
vow never to fart again and to seal himself inside a smell-proof bubble. That night he is visited by
Gretchen who fulfills the role Jacob Marley's ghost, and then the Ghosts of Farts Past (Rosebud),
Present (Armand), and Future (Sawyer).
Zombie Apocalypse: "Zombie Scouts" and "Now With 100% More Portal".
