Character Exaggeration / Baywatching

Go To

About a third to half of the humor in any given episode of Baywatching is Allison's interpretations and re-characterizations, as well as the wacky voices she gives to each character:


  • Captain Thorpe and Lifeguard Old Man only show up to tell the characters (and, by extension, the audience) that they still exist. Lifeguard Old Man sometimes only says "I'm so old!"
  • Mitch abuses Hobie, threatening to replace him as he did with the other Hobie from season one.note  He also cannot stop talking about food and eating burgers (that often appear from out of nowhere), and even tries to save drowning kids with one.
  • Stephanie is a Straw Feminist who needs to always be the smartest person in the room. When she is stranded on an island with Mitch with no food and no sign of help, she groans that she "Must ... correct someone!"
  • Garner and Newmie barely change because they are too cool, but Newmie gains a deep voice and Garner isn't an Extreme Doormat to Baywatching!Mitch's selfish antics.
  • A lot of the fanservice characters have been exaggerated as:
  • Jill tries to stay relevant, even though it doesn't help her fate. Everywhere she goes, people remind her that she's not a real character.
  • Harvey doesn't get this much, but he borrows Allison's description of him in his last appearance:
    Harvey: MY SA— [falls off a pier] OH, I'M THE WORST!
  • Craig often has Werther's Originalsnote  on hand because of how old and uncool he is.
  • John D. Cort is full of pride and has the catchphrase: "That's why they call me John [word beginning with D] Cort!"
