For anyone who has a fear of bugs, well...
- Lumpus during his Sanity Slippage moments comes off as creepy, especially when he shows how he has no issue doing harm to the Bean Scouts. Becomes Fridge Horror in the finale when it is revealed Lumpus is actually a dangerous criminal who captured and hid the real Camp Kidney Scoutmaster while acting as an imposter for the entire show. Suddenly Lumpus' bouts of crazy are given a darker light and the show ends of the revelation that a camp full of children was being controlled by a dangerous psycho!
- In "Float Trippers", Raj is upset that he lost his retainer on the last day he needed to wear it, for he fears that he'll end up like his brother, whose tusks were so overgrown that he fled to work in the circus in shame. During a canoe trip, Lazlo seemingly succeeds in calming him down, but makes the huge mistake of showing him another picture of Raj's brother.. whose overgrown tusks have now stabbed him the left eye, just as the retainer floats by. No wonder Raj freaked out. The unsettling Staggered Zoom on his brother doesn't help:Lazlo: What did I say?
- "Meatman", especially the ending where it's heavily implied that Meatman ate Lazlo, Raj, and Clam and morphed into duplicates of them so he can eat the other Bean Scouts.Samson: You got something on your nose, Lazlo.
"Lazlo": Oh, thanks Samson! (He rubs his nose so hard it comes off- and is revealed to be made of meat)... Is it gone?
(Samson and Edward develop looks of shock as it dawns on them that it's not the real Lazlo they're talking to. Samson and eventually the others begin laughing nervously as the so-called Jelly Bean trio begin Laughing Mad, with unsettling Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises to go with, before the episode ends with terrified screaming) - Hilarity aside, Tomato Paste reveals some disturbing implications when faced with the prospect of being promoted from a Bean Scout to a Tomato Scout. As demonstrated by Commander Hoo-Ha, Tomato Scout recruits endure agonizing rituals of being pelted by tomatoes and essential torture in various other ways until they're hardened into becoming vicious anger-prone military types like Hoo-Ha himself. Hoo-Ha actually laughed while showing Edward the slideshow of recruits crying in pain and terror from the rituals. Keep in mind becoming a Tomato Scout is meant to be a reward for achieving all the Bean Scout merit badges. If it is found that a scout cheated to get the badges like Edward was revealed to have done the scout gets sent to Camp Skull Crush as punishment. It is never explained what happens there but the name of the camp says volumes.
- Worse is that Hoo-Ha implied the traumatic events of becoming a Tomato Scout would forever mentally scar the recruits by giving them PTSD. As he puts it: "Tomato Scouts never leave the war zone!"
- In "7 Deadly Sandwiches" Scoutmaster Lumpus has made a hemlock berry sandwich for Jane Doe while she watches the play, then Dave arrives, playing the last and most poisonous sandwich of them all, a hemlock berry sandwich. And Jane almost eats hers. Dave’s Large Ham acting actually adds to this.Dave: That’s right! I am the most POISONOUS, the most TOXIC, and DEADLIEST SANDWICH THAT YOU WILL EVER EAT!!!!
(Cue Stunned Silence from everyone at the play)
Jane: Well, down the hatch! (prepares to eat the sandwich)
Lumpus: NOOOOO!!! DON'T EAT THAT SANDWICH, JANE!!! - "Creepy Crawly Campy" deals with Raj getting over his fear of insects via a fateful encounter with a cute, elephant-headed insect he dubs "Ellie". Initially, it's adorable, but not so much after its transformation; what comes out of the coccoon is a gigantic, terrifying, Megauneura-like monster of an insect pictured above that freaks Raj's friends out, kidnaps Scoutmaster Lumpus, and flies off to parts unknown. How Raj didn't freak out is beyond anyone's guess.
- The yetis breaking into the radio station in "Radio Free Edward". It veers into Nightmare Retardant once you find out that the yetis are a nice, intellectual couple of guys, but Edward's terror is infectious.
- In Valentine's Day, Patsy tries to give Lazlo a Valentine's Day card, but it mistakenly finds its way into Commander Hoo-Ha's hands. The prospect of her liking a boy or vice versa sends him such a bloodlusted rage that he tortures the Bean Scouts with a series of physical tests until they fess up. And when Patsy reveals she wrote it, Hoo-Ha makes her beat up every boy in camp to weed out her Love Interest so he can "punish" them, and Lazlo comes very close to suffering gruesomely before Patsy relents and hurts him for his sake. Who knew an overprotective dad could be so terrifying?
- "Dungs in Candyland" shows Lumpus has so little tolerance for candy in Camp Kidney that it's implied he threatened to salt Slinkman if he finds so much as a gumdrop.
- The ending of "Call Me Almondine", where the Squirrel Scouts remove their prosthetics and wigs to reveal they were wearing them to hide deformities and missing body parts. While most likely intended to be a heartwarming moment by having the girls embrace who they are and not caring what people think, it just comes off as creepy and unsettling, especially with Gretchen removing her glass eye from her huge eye socket and another being shown to wear a fake snout over her disfigured face.
- At the end of "My Brother's Eater", Skip tries shoving Edward face first down Chip to retrieve a flashlight. While Played for Laughs since Edward had it coming, his muffled screams of anger aren't pretty.
