Camp Lazlo

Camp Lazlo is the best new combo kid/adult cartoon since the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It's not surprising, given that it includes the talents of Tom Kenny, Joe Murray, and some of the other creative geniuses behind the revolution in comedic cartoons we've witnessed over the last decade. It's a worthy successor to some of the recent generation of outstanding Nick cartoons like Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob.

The voices are superb and the writing is sharp. For better or worse, cartoons seem to be nearly the only medium in which you can use accents - acceptable because they are married to two-dimensional animals rather than human beings - without overt accusations of political incorrectness. In Camp Lazlo, the vocal work provides texture against the dialog, giving it an aural depth that, odd as it may seem, children's television has maintained while adult fare has lost. And no, it is not offensive at all.

I highly recommend everyone check this new show out, because it is deserving of your time.

This mayn't be my favourite cartoon or show ever, but it is an outstanding show. Is it quite as good as Rocko's Modern Life? No, but that doesn't stop it from being enjoyable.

The animation has a unique style to it, and works really well, and the music is great too. And I loved the clever and funny writing, and the engaging and original stories. Also I found the characters really endearing and funny, Lazlo is certainly very likable, and so are Raj and Clam. My favourite character though is probably Slinkman. On top of that, the voice work is excellent.

In conclusion, this show is outstanding. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I grew up watching this and I have to say it really brings back good memories. The show focuses on an optomistic monkey named Lazlo (Carlos Alazraqui) who gets sent to summer camp where he befriends a neurotic elephant named Raj (Jeff Bennett) and a mostly quiet rhino named Clam (Carlos Alazraqui). Together they have several adventures ranging from avoiding the up-tight scoutmaster named Lumpus (Tom Kenny), exploring outside the camp to running into the Bean Scouts and either competing against or working with them depending on the episode. The animation's nice to look at, the characters are interesting and well-developed and the gags are funny. One of my favorite gags is seeing one scout Edward (Jeff Bennett) get angry. In one episode there're literally explosions in his eyes not once but twice. I don't know why but I thought that was funny. Both kids and adults will like this show.

I was an enthusiastic Scout, and later Scouter and Eagle Scout Dad, and as cheesy as you might find "Camp Lazlo", I found it to be a cute, nostalgic trip down memory lane and my days in Scouting. I identified with everyone and everything from Scoutmaster Lumpus to the kids with flies buzzing around them constantly, from bad food to activities that didn't work out quite the way they were supposed to. Most importantly, though, is that the boys/bean scouts learned to get along with each other, even if it was at the expense of Scoutmaster Lumpus. EVERY Scout or Scouter I've known knew a Scoutmaster Lumpus. This show makes me smile warmly, and I highly recommend it to adults and children alike.

I guess this show is okay. I mean, it could be a lot worse. At least the characters actually have personality and they don't all sound the same. The humor isn't actually that bad, considering this is a show for children. The last time I watched I didn't find any fart jokes, and there is honestly nothing I hate more than thirty minutes of "Hey kids! Let's fart because they sound funny!" I guess that compared to a lot of garbage on television nowadays, this show really isn't that bad for children. Children laugh at jokes without inappropriateness, randomness, or hidden innuendo for adults who might be watching, so that's really all that matters. The only things that really bug me though are the main character Lazlo, whom I find to be just plain annoying (voice, animation, personality, the whole enchilada), and the theme song, which is probably the most annoying theme song I have ever heard (and I've heard Fanboy and Chum Chum, so that's saying something). But that's just me. Other than those, I can't find any reason to hate this show. As long as kids like it and it's good, clean fun, then that's good enough for me.
