Adult Animated Comedy Web Series Episode Review: Camp Camp - David Gets Hard

In the Camp Camp episode, "David Gets Hard", the camp counselors discover that they need to hold a day of lessons for the camp for which the camp's bully, Nurf, was enlisted. When it's discovered that Nurf's mother signed him up for boot camp, Max and Gwen convince David to try to get tough.

Gwen and David argue about how to handle it, while Max claims he's the nastiest camper at Camp Campbell and offers to teach David how to get tough. Of course, David, being who he is, can't overcome his need to be nice. After a few instances of a funny running joke regarding weapons, Max gets a reality check when he realizes that he isn't as tough as he thought.

Gwen reveals that, alongside her liberal arts degree, she dual-majored in psychology. David tries the therapy angle, and, unsurprisingly, this doesn't work either. David then tries to handle things in his own way, but things don't go as he planned. The surprising breakthrough is funny, and it actually makes sense.

It's nice to see more background characters get fleshed out. Nurf personifies the bully archetype turned up to eleven. With the breakthrough at the end, it's interesting to see just how different his actions are in future episodes. This episode is great, as not only does Nurf receive a breakthrough, but so does the series protagonist, Max. The latter's realization will continue to build up in the few remaining episodes until the end of the first season.

Final Verdict:

4 out of 5
