Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Son of the Beach is a 2000-02 comedy series that aired on FX, which was more or less a satire of Baywatch. It focused on world-renowned lifeguard Notch Johnson (played by Timothy Stack), who was to this show what David Hasselhoff was to the original. Howard Stern was the show's executive producer.The show poked fun at the genre in general, particularly the non-stop T&A and sexual content, by cranking it up to eleven.

The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: In "It's a Nude, Nude, Nude, Nude World", the recruits includes a fat guy, a midget, a paraplegic (Professor Milosovic), and the most attractive and most-fit guy. The latter also turns out to be the murderer the main characters are looking for.

Informed Attractiveness: In a deliberate parody everyone on the show apart from Kimberlee regards Notch as the hottest guy on Earth. Meanwhile the viewers can plainly see that he is out-of-shape, pasty white, middle-aged and balding. Even Kimberlee and Massengil are pining for him.

The Ahnold: Chip Rommel, the lifeguard played by Roland Kickinger, was a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kickinger eventually played the young Schwarzenegger in the made-for-TV Biopic See Arnold Run, and also appeared in Terminator Salvation.

"Angry Black Man" Stereotype: Mercury Lincoln, from "It's a Nude, Nude, Nude, Nude World", because he threatens to sue for discrimination if he doesn't get the job, even though he can't swim. He got the job due to being the only one left standing, but he didn’t want it.

Raging Stiffie: In "It's a Nude, Nude, Nude, Nude World", Chip gains one while the gang search for the murderer at a nude beach. Of course, we don't see it, but Notch tells Chip to stop bumping into him even though he's only a feet away. In the episode where an elderly Japanese man (played by George Takei) reads the events of the episode in a book, his grandson gains one at a part about Kimberlee then it shrinks down at a squick-y part.
