Derives from the French gay community's slang term se camper, meaning "to pose in an exaggerated fashion." The term "Camp" morphed into referring to a sensibility that revels in artifice, stylization, theatricality, irony, playfulness, and exaggeration rather than content, as Susan Sontag famously defined the term in her short essay "Notes on Camp". Don't expect it to take itself the least bit seriously. The main debates concerning the term are twofold: How such an aesthetic relates to intentionality: whether camp deliberately cultivated ("high" camp) is the same to that of the unintentional kind ("low" camp). Whether the term relies too much on the elitist notion that popular culture cannot also be enjoyed by a sophisticated sensibility, except through a condescending or distancing label. See also Camp Gay, Macho Camp, Camp Straight, Campy Combat, and Summer Campy. Compare So Bad, It's Good; Stylistic Suck, and Narm Charm. Related to Large Ham and World of Ham. Not to be confused with the movie Camp (2003), nor has anything to do with a Camping Episode. |

Sherlock borrows the aesthetics and Mood Lighting of gritty crime drama and uses it as window dressing for incredibly silly, implausible stories that take place in a world of movies and setting-transplanted pulp Victorian fiction rather than in the real world. This is partially demonstrated by how much joy it takes in Painting the Fourth Wall, and also in how much the dialogue implicitly mocks its own premise and characters while at the same time being in no way a Self-Parody. It is mostly able to handle its acute self-exaggeration and ridiculousness through extremely high-quality acting which plays it all exactly as straight as it has to be, making Sherlock himself The Comically Serious. Then there's the individual character Moriarty, who embodies all of this in himself alone. | |

Fantastic Four: The Animated Series in its first season. However, during the '90s, when superhero shows were expected to be more dramatic and complex like X-Men: The Animated Series and Spider-Man: The Animated Series, people weren't interested in its sillier and simpler setup and it got a complete retooling in the second season. | |

Probably no TV show had as much intentional camp as its central focus than did the live-action Batman (1966) from the 1960s. Notorious for putting the prefix "bat-" in front of everything Batman did or used, and for Adam West's portrayal of Batman as a constantly emoting expositionist who had but one tone of voice no matter the situation. However, many of the people involved with the production debate the label as needlessly denigrating to the hard work they put into the show's elements of farce. In his essay Batman, Deviancy and Camp, Andy Medhurst goes so far as to say the best definition of camp could be "sort of like the Batman TV show." Adam West apparently made a career out of playing campy superheroes. Occasionally he even played himself as if he thought he was a superhero. West mentioned during interviews that he deliberately played up some 'campy' aspects of the show — it was, apparently, a necessity, as only part of his face was visible, and he had to find another way to express emotion. Batman: The Brave and the Bold series and its video game adoption picked up the camp role. Besides its surprising emphasis on more obscure, cheesier villains, the show also gave us the Music Meister, a villain who controls the will of others by singing like Neil Patrick Harris. The Mexican dub was even campier, the prefix "bat-" was changed to "bati-", and the characters got ridiculous dub names such as "Gatúbela" for Catwoman or "El Guasón" for The Joker (Even when the card is generally referred as "joker" in Spanish) and Bruce Wayne was changed to the more Hispanic Bruno DÃaz. The dub was so successful that even today the characters are known officially as that even in later Darker and Edgier adaptations. |

Continuing the tradition, Gotham slowly embraced the camp as it went on. While Darker and Edgier than Batman (1966), it is silly by having everyone act dead serious while walking around in an Anachronism Stew, in a very gothic looking Gotham City, with very comic-accurate supervillains and costumes. | |

Totally Spies! is pure camp. We have three somewhat ditzy teenage girls who, for reasons unknown, become secret agents for a spy corporation oddly named WOOHP. They each wear their own bright-colored spandex outfits and are given silly gadgets that look like hairdryers, makeup kits, and many other female fashion-themed devices. The villains they face are absurd, complete with ludicrous motivations. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), complete with four stereotypical main characters, aliens from another dimension and sometimes space, chemicals with absurd mutating properties, silly adventures, and, to top it off, an equally campy theme song. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) plays with this trope on and off throughout its run. Considering that it's a mix between the original comics and first series explains it. |

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983). So much so, that even in the 80s, many were suspicious that it was actually gay propaganda. (Especially with names like Ram-Man, Man-at-Arms, Extendar, and last but not least, Fisto. Yes, these were real). She-Ra: Princess of Power sometimes contains just as much if not more Ho Yay, and is similarly remembered. |

Flash Gordon. The movie's script was written by Lorenzo Semple Jr., script consultant and sometimes episode writer for the Adam West-era Batman (1966). The campiness was really enhanced by this being one of the first completely self-consciously Raygun Gothic productions made. All the designs for Mongo were completely over-the-top, and everyone had equipment just lying around that made no sense for them to have but was both cool and convenient. (A slideway from the edge of the deathmatch arena down to a rocketcycle in a city inhabited exclusively by people who can fly? Why not!) The theme song is done by Queen. Of course it's going to be camp as hell. | |

WordGirl is an affectionate parody of old superhero shows, so it falls into this category. The titular heroine has a stereotypical alliterative comic book name and a pet monkey as a sidekick. Her Rogues Gallery includes a butcher who can telekinetically control meat, a part-mouse mad scientist, and a Basement-Dweller with a sandwich for a head. | |

¡Mucha Lucha! is very much this. Everyone in their world is a wacky, over-the-top Masked Luchador with the strange ability to morph their bodies into whatever shapes that are based on their special move's names. They go on crazy adventures that lead them to battle evil toilets, ancient Mexican mummies, an entire classroom that teaches some of the other luchadors how to be evil, and many other bizarre things. | |

Mommie Dearest has Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford gravely overacting while everyone else seems to be sedated. The editing only adds to the strangeness. For example, in one scene, Joan has been fired from her job and the scene ends with her boss turning around to the camera. Then there is an immediate cut to a screaming Joan, decked in an expensive evening dress, cutting apart her rose garden with a pair of hedge clippers and then ordering her daughter to "bring [her] the axe" so she can chop down a tree. | |

Where the hell do we even begin with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? Some even view it as the Sonic equivalent of Adam West's Batman. For starters we have Sonic (who is voiced by Jaleel White) shouting out over-the-top catchphrases such as "I'M WAAAAAITING," and "WAY PAST COOL," Scratch and Grounder who are too INSANELY stupid to do almost anything right, let alone catch Sonic, and (of course), Dr. Ivo Robotnik who should probably give himself a promotion for displaying such camPINGAS usual we see. Then there was SatAM. Despite Darker and Edgier setting, it kept Sonic's over the top personality from AoStH —even taking it further—, as well as the occasional silly moment. Then the second season ramped up the campiness in general, with the previously serious Robotnik becoming one of the goofiest incarnations of the character. |

The first Dead to Rights fits the category. While the intent (based on the creators themselves) was to make a game in the vein of works by Frank Miller and John Woo with utmost sincerity and seriousness, the game's got a lot more color and theatricality for it: the story and dialogue, especially from Jack, slides wildly in tone (at times being completely straightforward, other times containing utterly bonkers set pieces and quippy one-liners), several of the villains are so full of ham that they’re practically walking delis, and many instances of GunFu and Heroic Bloodshed action are over-the-top and physics-defying even for the genre. Top it off with an attack dog sidekick and raw manliness all around, and you have a game of true camp appeal. | |

Metal Gear combines the aesthetics of burly military video games, 80s action movie Cliché Storm played almost painfully straight as Melodrama, inspiration from post-modernist Lit Fic, Real Robot anime, goofy Surreal Humour, philosophy, villains with Refuge in Audacity powers like the ability to read the player's mind and shoot bees or ghosts at you, a cast of Ascended Fanboys acting out their favourite tropes as superpowers, and slightly too much Ho Yay to be unintentional. | |

Persona 5 is the first of the series to use this style, but it does theatrics quite well. In fact, unlike many examples of this trope, it's presented as completely serious yet no less awesome for that fact - if anything, the seriousness is exactly why the style is so cool, though not without it's elements of humor throughout. It should also be noted that the game is a dark, serious M-rated story, so it's likely that a completely-silly presentation would've heavily clashed with the game's tone/themes. | |

Fallout: New Vegas: All three tribes that run the casinos in New Vegas are camp to some degree (The Omertas representing the seamy underbelly and the White Glove Society representing the elegance well, on the surface, anyway of the old Las Vegas, respectively), but the Chairmen crank it up. All of them dress like Rat Pack rejects and say things like "Ring-a-ding, baby" and "What can I do to make your stay the tops?" with completely straight faces. And it's hilarious. | |

Argentinian promotion Titanes en el Ring. The best way to sum it is WWE's Golden Eighties mixed with CHIKARA's Y-7 approach. You have Large Ham commentators mixed with light-hearted storylines and characters such as El Gitano Ivanoff (an immigrant from Romania), Julio César (yep, that one) La Momia (a fighting mummy), Genghis Khan (yep, that one) high-flying luchador Caballero Rojo, biker Mr. Moto, and so on... | |

Resident Evil 4 greatly improved the storytelling of the series simply by acknowledging how ridiculous the franchise's premise is at its core (thanks in no small part to the characterization of Leon into a Deadpan Snarker who reacts to the game's ludicrous plot on behalf of the bemused player). Sadly, this was not to last, as the subsequent games all attempt to be taken seriously and are far less highly regarded for it. | |

Legendary underground filmmaker George Kuchar made a lot of short camp films. I, an Actress is a 10-minute short film in which Kuchar gets a student in his acting class to deliver some ludicrous dialogue in a more and more hammy manner until she and the audience both start bursting into laughter. Hold Me While I'm Naked (what a title!) is a way, way, way over-the-top short in which Kuchar plays a director who goes through a crisis when his actress, sick of getting naked all the time, quits the production of his Exploitation Film. | |

300: Low Camp writ large and expensive, ostensibly unaware of both its bombastic absurdity and its copious amounts of Ho Yay. Seemingly every performance is Large Ham, and historical accuracy is...better than one would expect but still Very Loosely Based on a True Story, with substantial additions of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. This is all somewhat justified in-universe as being the story that Dilios is telling to hype up the Spartans before the Battle of Plataea as opposed to an unbiased historical account, though this is hampered by the fact that the ending sequence is shot the same as the rest of the movie with the same glaring inaccuracies. | |

Bayonetta, spiritual successor to Devil May Cry, begins with the main character, disguised as a nun, presiding over a funeral that is subsequently visited by heavenly beings who rip off her clothes, allowing her to use her suit of magical hair and the handguns (which she wields four at a time — one in each hand, and the other two strapped to her Combat Stilettos) that were hidden in a coffin to beat, shoot, and rip the angels apart gruesomely, all to a cover of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon."

Even some of the Nu-Who music comes under this — composer Murray Gold, when creating a Leitmotif for the Doctor's alien-ness, was deliberately asked to do it as a Cliché Storm, so he went with an operatic One-Woman Wail. This was nicknamed by him "Flavia's Theme", after an extremely campy One-Scene Wonder Time Lady in "The Five Doctors", who he could imagine singing it. It's deliberately overly dramatic, but at the same time hits exactly the emotional button it's supposed to push — both Angst and the promise of adventure. | |

The James Pond video games parody James Bond, or rather, the first game and the title character parody that, and the next two games parody other film franchises and set them up in absolutely ridiculous setting. The second game, James Pond II: Codename RoboCod has a Saving Christmas plot, with Penguins at the North Pole! James Pond 3: Operation StarFI5H has a moon not made of cheese, but all kinds of dairy products. The working name for it was "Splash Gordon". The bosses of the games include, but aren't limited to: a giant Teddy Bear with spikes on its butt, an evil snowman mech, a large yellow frog that eats you (And this somehow doesn't kill you instantly.), and a chicken that turns into a Phoenix! So Bad, It's Good doesn't begin to describe the games. | |

For reference, at different points in time, the main protagonist has used a motorbike chainsaw, a scythe that's also a guitar made out of a Hot as Hell demon, and a "demon backpack". He also repeatedly gets impailed as a Running Gag to the point where in 5 it's actually a game mechanic. | |

Code Geass actually brings a rather large component of camp to everything from its voice acting (Lelouch, Lloyd and the Emperor are the most obvious examples), elaborate outfits and posing (see almost every time Zero gives a public speech), over-the-top events, crazy robot power-ups and many other elements. Not much of a surprise if you realize the director previously made Scryed and GUN×SWORD, plus was also part of the staff who worked on Mobile Fighter G Gundam. | |

Pretty much every version of Yu-Gi-Oh! runs on camp to some degree, with ludicrous premises played entirely straight, flamboyant character designs, outlandish plot twists that veer between absurdity and pitch-black darkness, Duels Decide Everything and New Rules as the Plot Demands being laws of the universe, Ho Yay thicker than molasses, and heavily-censored hammy English dubs. Much of what gives the franchise an enduring reputation is the fact that it handles itself with almost complete sincerity despite being perceived as a card game commercial. | |

Until Dawn is an homage to B horror movies, and it shows. While it expands on some of its archetypes (particularly with regards to Character Development) and knits them together, despite a relative tone shift two-thirds of the way into the game, it plays its story and execution gleefully straight. Originally, it would have been even campier. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The series initially started as low camp, with the story attempting to be a serious attempt at mixing Dracula with Fist of the North Star. However, Hirohiko Araki quickly caught onto how ridiculous the writing of Phantom Blood was and wholeheartedly embraced it with Battle Tendency, which shifted the series to high camp by mixing dramatic plotlines with flamboyantly outrageous characters and willfully absurd situations. | |

TerrorVision, an obscure '80s monster film, is this in loads. It's about a literal family of cliched stereotypes that install a dish for their TV and an Eldritch Abomination that barks like a dog gets received from space and comes out of their television to absorb everyone. It's like The Thing (1982), but a parody. | |

Team Fortress 2. The characters have exaggerated Rockwell-esque designs, each of them have a different, very much played up accent and traits stereotypically associated with each's respective nationality. Furthermore, it's filled with Ludicrous Gibs (after you get killed, during a freezecam of your killer the game will gleefully point out where "your pancreas!", "your foot!", "your kidney!" etc. lies, if the body parts appear on the shot). It is largely thanks to that factor that the game was received so well. | |

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) was a knowing, winking parody of Y2K-era pop culture at its most garish and overly commercialized, with every scene plastered in as much Product Placement as they could get away with, Parker Posey playing an Evil Diva villain who turns out to secretly be a dweeb who's faking it to look cool, a plot to use subliminal messages in pop records to brainwash the youth of America into vapid consumers, and various real-life celebrities playing parodies of themselves who are in on the scheme. The titular Girl Group may just be the most down-to-Earth thing about it. It bombed in its initial release but became a Cult Classic in the years since, especially once people rediscovered its soundtrack. | |

Doctor Who has flirted with camp on-and-off throughout its various incarnations. This was partly out of necessity, due to the low budget. However, camp is, in some ways, inherent in its premise: It's a world where the hero triumphs (usually deflating any attempts at seriousness in the process) by virtue of being gallant, romantic, and stoic in the British tradition. In Whovian circles, this push-pull dynamic between camp and drama is known as "Guns and Frocks", a term taken from one of the New Adventures novels. The Sixth Doctor, when confronted with a choice between fending off the villains with rifles or frocks, sides with frocks. The Doctor will always win in the most outlandish, silly way possible, because the alternative would be to resort to violence, which is against the franchise's philosophy. This is not to say Who doesn't indulge in deconstruction now and again. The aforementioned New Adventures novels turned the Terrance Dicks interpretation of the Doctor ("Neither cruel nor cowardly") on its head: In Love and War, the Doctor still behaves like the children's hero we all know and adore — even parroting the same Dicks catchphrases — while simultaneously doing thoroughly fiendish things. This contradiction later surfaced on the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood, most notably with the flamboyant pansexual immortal child killer Captain Jack — about as schizo a character as you can come up with. The new series, faced with the terrifying prospect of a reasonable budget and cheap and high-quality special effects being widely available by that point, perhaps overcompensated for this by having a Darker and Edgier Doctor — one who was now the Last of His Kind, wore a black leather jacket that, in WWII London, has a fellow time traveller compare him to a U-Boat Captain and a shaved head and had committed double genocide as Back Story — fighting mostly extremely goofy comedy monsters over his short run, with the notable exceptions being the Daleks (a "serious" but legendarily campy 50s B-Movie-like monster played painfully straight here) and the Empty Child (whose double parter is considered to be one of the best and creepiest stories in the show's history). The Gelth and their Zombie forms are also among the more serious threats he faces. The worry was that, with good special effects, the Narm Charm responsible for a lot of the campy appeal would be lost, and so it had to be added by replacing "low camp" with "high camp" - not least to avoid traumatising children (which the original series cared about much less, being by far the goriest show on The BBC at the time). By the second series, the Doctor got more mellow and the monsters got (mostly) spookier, finding what is generally agreed to be a good middle ground — and it's still camp as hell. Since then, it's yo-yo'd between gleefully embracing the camp and playing up the drama (the John Simm incarnation of The Master epitomising this by starting his takeover by bellowing "HERE! COME! THE DRUMS!" and bopping along to Rogue Traders' "Voodoo Child", then casually ordering the deaths of 600 million people because he thinks the word 'decimate' sounds nice). Of course, this didn't stop the early seasons of the revival from steering hard into camp at times, from the vain villainess Lady Cassandra (a flap of skin attached to a brain who demands to be constantly moisturized) to thrilling action scenes set to Britney Spears' "Toxic" to a killer robot Anne Robinson to the Slitheen, a group of large predatory aliens crammed in human suits who are constantly farting due to matter compression. Some of these efforts were more successful than others. Even some of the Nu-Who music comes under this — composer Murray Gold, when creating a Leitmotif for the Doctor's alien-ness, was deliberately asked to do it as a Cliché Storm, so he went with an operatic One-Woman Wail. This was nicknamed by him "Flavia's Theme", after an extremely campy One-Scene Wonder Time Lady in "The Five Doctors", who he could imagine singing it. It's deliberately overly dramatic, but at the same time hits exactly the emotional button it's supposed to push — both Angst and the promise of adventure. The costume designs under John Nathan-Turner's tenure as producer were done this way for merchandising reasons, probably inspired by the Iconic Outfit appeal of the Fourth Doctor's scarf (which he ironically attempted to dispose of before being talked out of it) — the Doctors went from dressing in a somewhat bohemian, anachronistic approach to whatever is mainstream fashion of the day, into dressing in blatant costume, with red question-mark motifs and occasionally really hideous colour schemes. Many fans agree this crossed over into What the Hell, Costuming Department?, especially with the Sixth and Seventh Doctors, though the JNT Fourth Doctor outfit is generally agreed to be flattering and quite good. In retrospect, it helps that the Doctor has notoriously bad fashion sense, so the clothing choices could be dismissed in that light. Some of the scores in the late 80s. Italo Disco Daleks, anyone? The Rani, a ridiculous Large Ham Mad Scientist character written specifically in a 'gay icon' style. The score of the official "Shada" reconstruction shot for this (alongside Retraux) as it was a late 80s-era Doctor Who scorer doing a very knowing pastiche of the 70s style scores, but it is generally agreed upon to be distracting, inappropriate and just really nasty to listen to. Lampshaded in David Tennant and Catherine Tate's "Let's Do It" video in which Tate's Julie Gardner asked Tennant's Russell T. Davies, "let's revamp — make more camp — a sci-fi show from yesteryear". |

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. Its premise is that of a post-cyberpocalyptic world where basketball is outlawed (and its former players hunted down and murdered) because one Charles Barkley performed a Chaos Dunk and accidentally killed thousands in the ensuing blast. The bathos is palpable, and it never ceases (including such things as Michael Jordan infecting Barkley's son Hoopz with type 2 diabetes through a needle, and Barkley reacting by calling Jordan a "motherfucking goddamn baka"). | |

The infamous The Wild World of Batwoman may well qualify as one of the worst movies ever, owing to its having been a failed attempt at camp. It is a rip-off of the Adam West TV series, right down to the ludicrous villains and the 60s go-go dancing. The producers of Batman took Jerry Warren to court, which is why he threw in that tacked-on opening about the "synthetic vampire" Batgirls. | |

Ghost is known for a deliberately campy take on Hollywood Satanism; their overall schtick can be summed up as channeling the theatrical flair of Alice Cooper into a Satanic parody of Catholicism. The singer wears papal outfits and a skull-painted mask, the band is completely disguised and is only referred to as "a pack of Nameless Ghouls", stages often have backdrops like massive stained glass murals from cathedrals, and concerts are referred to as "rituals" in reference to a song on their debut album. | |

Schoolhouse Rock! is so camp that it often gets in the way of being educational. | |

LazyTown is 24 minutes of pure, unadulterated camp. The show crosses goofy outfits for the characters and goofy-looking puppets with musical numbers soundtracked with cheesy Eurovision Song Contest-esque pop songs. Don't forget the goofy plots about the main villain trying to stop our heroes from encouraging healthiness and exercise. | |

Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot has this in multiple places like Big Guy's Eagle Land catchphrases, the 50s visual aesthetic for the show, and, most notably, the theme song. | |

Gods of Egypt is low camp in spots, with several unintentionally funny moments and lunacy littered about in an otherwise dull film. | |

Mobile Fighter G Gundam uses a hammy, posing, comically serious style from start to finish, all the more noticeable in a franchise that until then was known for being dramatic and semi-realistic. Where earlier designs were clean and sober, the giant robots here look like an American footballer with boxing gloves on a surfboard, Sailor Moon, or a windmill. The combatants pose in latex bodysuits that link their movements to their robots, making the melée fighting close and personal in contrast to the detached, calculating feel of other entries. Every aspect is exaggerated to the point of ridicule, from the absurdity of the premise, past the national stereotypes, ringing voices and power-ups by willpower that flash the whole robot red, to the finale that sees hundreds of different robots rally to save the world. Like it or not, it is a deliberate choice with fully intended comedy. | |

The Wolfenstein series, especially Wolfenstein 3-D. It's hard to get much campier than Mecha Hitler with quadruple Gatling Good yelling in bastardized German/English and exploding into Ludicrous Gibs. | |

Final Fight features a bunch of muscley men, some in leather, some in tight T-shirts, and some totally shirtless beating the hell out of each other in a gritty and crime ridden metropolis called Metro City. Everyone and everything is so entrenched in the 80s that its retroness adds to the appeal. | |

Captain Flamingo takes this up to eleven due its weird and wacky shout-outs to classic superhero and anime shows. All of the jokes were extremely both corny and goofy at the same time. | |
