Camp Lazlo Wiki

"Hard Days Samson" is a Camp Lazlo episode from season 3. In this episode, The Squirrel Scouts go crazy for Samson because he looks like teen idol Hanley Manster (as seen from the new issue of DreamBoat magazine).

Plot[]

Samson is delivering the mail to Acorn Flats and meets Ms. Mucus at the gate. He requests that she let him in before notifying the Squirrel Scouts, but she calls them over anyway leading to a mad dash to the mailbox. The Squirrels snatch the mailbag and trample Samson, eager to see what they got. Almondine got a new math poster, Amber got a scrunchie, Gretchen got a postcard from her parents who are vacationing in Florida, amd Nina got fhe latest issue of Dreamboat Magazine. On the cover is hamster heartthrob Hanly Manster. The Squirrels then realize that Samson passes off as a close resemblance to Hanly amd fall smitten with him. As he leaves, the girls mob him and wreck his bike.

When Samson gets back to Camp Kidney, he finds them raiding his cabin for his stuff. He decides to go to the bathroom only for them to be right outside. Uncomfortable, Samson starts walking away only for them to follow him and chase him around camp. Chip and Skip are playing I Spy while a bored Edward yawns. When Samson and the girls run by continuing the chase, Edward gets interested and tells the dung beetles to find out why it is happening. He pays them food vouchers for their research.

At the mess hall, the dung beetles are getting lunch and order the special. Lazlo checks them with Scoutmaster Lumpus's nose hair trimmer and verifies them legit. Raj tells Clam to bring the potato salad, which happens to be where Samson is hiding. He explains to the Jellies that he's hiding from the Squirrel Scouts because they're in love with him. Lazlo offers to help straighten this out while Raj gets the salad to Chip and Skip. They have left, having heard Samson's explanation.

While trying to put an end to this and keep Samson safe, the Jellies fail to get the Squirrels to understand and hide Samson in any way because the dung beetles keep giving Samson away each time, much fo Edward's amusement. He even pays them more vouchers for the entertainment.

In Jelly Cabin, they lay low until the coast is clear. After a few minutes of silence, Lazlo checks to see if it's safe only for the Squirrels to attempt to break into the cabin. Using Morse code, Lazli tells the others to barricade the cabin. They do so with all the wood...from the other side of the cabin, leaving a big gaping hole in the back that the Squirrels use to get in. In panic, Raj and Clam bail, leaving Lazlo and Samson at the girls' mercy. They get on the totem pole as a last-ditch effort to escape. Just outside, Edward marvels in Samson's suffering while Raj and Clam decide to teach him a lesson.

With nowhere else to go, Samson and Lazlo seem doomed. Samson starts having an asthma attack, and Patsy brings him his inhaler. Gretchen brings Lazlo some gum. Seeing this, Samson feels it is not as bad as he believed and decides to bask in his popularity. Just then, a magazine slides under the cabin door, amd the Squirrels take notice as it is another issue of Dreamboat. They leave the cabin and Samson's torture has ended.

It is revealed that Raj and Clam placed a picture of Edward on the magazine so now the Squirrels will chase him and leave Samson alone. Chip and Skip offer to buy dinner for everyone with their vouchers, and they agree to it while leaving Edward to wallow in his karma.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • It's revealed that Ms. Mucus' first name is Rubella.
  • Contradiction: In many episodes, you recognized that Clam has an irregular strength. (e.g. Pulling the trees, Lifting Raj and Lazlo on each hand.) In this episode, Clam is having a hard time lifting Samson.
  • Listen closely: The song playing as the Squirrel Scouts are chasing after and mobbing Samson is an instrumental blend of two actual Beatles songs, I Should Have Known Better (which appears on the Hard Days Night album from which the episode gets its name), and Eight Days a Week. The title is also a Beatles reference. It is a reference to the song "A Hard Day's Night".
  • Name: The Star Name Hanly Manster switch the first letters around and it Manly Hamster.
  • A running gag in this episode is that the Squirrel Scouts keep mobbing and ripping the clothes off as Samson, as well as Lazlo and later Edward. Also, Edward secretly keeps revealing wherever Samson and Lazlo are hiding to the Squirrel Scouts.

Goofs[]

  • When Gretchen reads her postcard from her parents, her hands turn to the orange color of Lazlo's.
  • In the scene where the Squirrel Scouts are chasing Samson & Lazlo, when Lazlo opens up a pair of cellar doors, the color of his ears change from their normal color to the orange color of his face, then back to their normal color again.
  • In the jelly cabin, when Nina said "Hi Samson" Gretchen's hair color changes to green of her skin color.
  • When Lazlo and Samson were jumping on the Squirrel Scout's heads to get to the totem pole Nina, Gretchen, and Patsy were in the cabin. In the next scene, they were outside.

Quotes[]

  • Raj: It's amazing what you can do with scissors, tape, and a picture of Edward!
  • Squirrel Scouts: Hi Samson.
  • Patsy: Can we do anything for you?
  • Samson: Can you put my dandruff back where you found it?
  • Raj: I'm sorry Samson. I didn't sign up for this. (uses Clam as a drill and they both fall down) Clam: Run away!
