i went here for 2 summers when i was 12-13yo, and i can tell you right now, the drama at this camp was NOT manufactured. that camp was so toxic when it came to drama. everyone was trying to date eachother and everyone trying to fight eachother. this is such a surreal video to watch

That poor girl that gets bullied, so many meds and health issues at such a young age. It breaks my heart to hear her so sad.

Petey later on found an office job in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Where he works with his friend and boss Michael Scott while Jim, his co-worker plays pranks on him.

I have met numerous people that are home schooled. And I can tell you that Caleb Is extremely well-adjusted and socially aware kudos to you, buddy. Lol

Petey is the epitome of "hey where's my hug".

In Florida there is a at risk youth military academy on a national guard base. It’s for the ages 16-17. You are able to make up high school credits or get your GED there. The crazy thing was that I turned 18 the day before I went to the academy. So they let me in. I definitely felt the age difference believe it or not. Especially when you’re living with these people. I ended up actually getting my high school diploma there. Really turned my life around. Ended up joining the marine corps afterwards.

Some of these kids have been ruthlessly picked on at home, think about the build up of anger they have, and then they finally have the chance to be mean to other kids for once and they take it to a whole new level.

Thank you for not shaming the victims of the “fat” epidemic, oompa. as someone who grew up in the “lower middle class,” we ate a lot of cheap, unhealthy meals. Not only that but if I didn’t finish my food my ma would show us videos on kids starving on KZfaq. I didn’t have a choice to eat and because of that I’ve been bigger since 3rd grade. It’s hard to change habits that were built for you later on in life yk. Now im 20 and have high blood pressure. It’s hard

This video makes us realize the importance of effectively addressing self-esteem and mental health issues among the youth. The fat-shaming, bullying, and constant drama in the show have undoubtedly made their mark on the participants. MTV could have truly made a positive impact on these youngsters' lives instead of exploiting them for drama and ratings.

Fun fact: when I was 13 years old and was 5’4” 150 pounds I was sent to this exact fat camp (if it’s the one I think it is in the Poconos in Pennsylvania) and I developed an eating disorder right around my 14th birthday almost exactly one year after being sent there. I lost weight at the same rate while suffering from anorexia as I did while at the camp because I also didn’t eat and exercised compulsively at camp and the following year. The difference was I stopped after leaving camp and then I didn’t stop the next year. I took diet pills and didn’t eat anything- nothing. I mean nothing. Not one bite of food- for an entire week when I was 15 and I developed acidosis. That’s when your blood becomes too acidic too support life and you slip into a coma. I got better for a few years as an adult but relapsed when my dad got sick and then died when I was 30. They tried to commit me. These camps were… not the best thing. However they were very much “of their time” - I grew up during the worst time for young women since the Victorian age when it came to forcing women to starve themselves. The same ideals drove both time periods and still exist today- the idea that fat = indulgence and women should always be sacrificing and going without. Women who indulge in anything that doesn’t benefit men or their children are seen as lazy, ungrateful, unworthy, disgusting, etc.

My friend and I were ironically obsessed with this show and we were both friends with Dianne on Facebook later on in college. We couldn’t believe she accepted. I wish I didn’t delete my Facebook because her account was hilarious

I'm of the thought Diane, who keeps getting bullied for being smelly, was already suffering from some nasty depression. The showering thing is a big flag there. I really felt sorry for the kid. I will never understand why people are bullies and go after the seen as weaker people.

_"He gave me this ring as a trinket of our friendship"_ has to be devastating.

a woman writing a drama free zone and then starting drama in it, is a chiefs kiss😂

As a summer camp counselor, tensions get unnaturally high because everyone’s homesick and you’re all stuck with ppl 24/7. These kids hated me so much I had to switch out of the cabin.

Old TLC/MTV content is so unhinged and I'm here for it

I had a friend who went to this camp (a few years after filming) and I went up with her family for a visiting day and I remember not understanding why this program existed. The food wasn’t even healthy.

horses are a conspiracy.

Only found this channel a few days ago but have been binging the videos. This guys cracked I love it

You gotta love unhinged 2000 reality TV shows. I thought I've seen them all but they just keep coming

oompa thinking chunk from the goonies is jelly roll has me dying

Frankie is the alpha!!! 0:03

That one girl with all the medical issues needed to be at a diabetes camp. Also she is right, the side effects to those medications are horrible. Some of them cause you to smell bad. I am a diabetic and finely decided to control it through diet and exercise. I feel so much better.

i feel SO BAD for Dianne. like she is me when i was a teen besides having diabetes. i always had problems with smelling bc of PCOS and could never find deodorant that could help or ever put enough on. i had undiagnosed autism so everyone hated me bc i was the "weird kid". i hope she got along in life

Every time he talks about petey, I think "woah what did your dog do, caleb?"😂

Back in the late 90's my sister was on MTV's True Life: I'm On Ecstasy. 😅

Funniest thing ever. Caleb was talking about how Petey was talking bad about Marissa and when Caleb went to say that Petey is also in fat camp, my phone switched to an ad and yelled AAAAPEEEE!!! It was so funny. “You know Petey, you’re also- AN APE!!!” Funny.

Diane mentioned something about her Thyroid, and that breaks my heart. It sounds like she likely had hypothyroidism, one major symptom and issue with that condition is weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Hypothyroidism is more common in women, and to my knowledge it isn't even a condition caused by obesity, it's more often caused by autoimmune dysfunctions/conditions. Not to mention the diabetes, poor Diane has an uphill battle to fight and she's just getting put on blast. Ofc you don't put in the effort, you wont get the results, but man. when your body is actively working against you, it's tough.

Fun fact: The 2000s is when I stopped watching cable tv, it was garbage. A whole lot of gaming and partying until YT and streaming services were around to start filling the entertainment gap.

Hey Oompa, I'm significantly older than you and my parents too used to threaten to send me to military school. It's a tale as old as ...military school. 😂

Honestly in 2006 it was a lot less about health and a lot more about weight loss. When I was a kid at that time my mom had me on the Slimfast diet repeatedly, she let me try the baby food diet, she wanted me to lose weight by any method. Health was a secondary concern a lot of the time.

Tlc shows were wild in the 00's. I used to watch what not to wear with my Sister and even back then I was concerned how bad it was for the poor people participating

Aunty kris sent me❤

I liked watching that one house flipper type show where they went “MOVE! THAT! BUS!”

Are you talking about my Chunk?!? Goonies say never die!”

Real Life “Heavyweights” with Ben stiller lol

The Duggars are so gross. There's quite an expose' about them on Prime Video.

“I want to work for Diddy” is crazy seeing it now 1:10

Oompa mistaking "Chuck" from the Goonies, with "Jellyroll" was the funniest thing I've heard all day

When I was a teenager, this show just taught me that curvy girls are hot. But you should also keep healthy!

The kid in Goonies was 'Chunk'

You should cover the OCD project that was on vh1. I can remember this one lady was afraid of running over people when she drove so they treated her ocd by throwing babies at her car and screaming “you’re killing them !” Or something along those lines. It was Fd but pretty hilarious since it was consenting adults and not kids .

3:50 petey had no hope 😭

As a child with adhd I had trouble focusing obv.. and one day my grandma was watching some ww2 documentary and I was running around instead of doing my homework.. so my grandma turned to me and said I’m going to send you to concentration camp if you don’t focus.. and I was terrified for years afterwards thinking that I was gonna be sent there till I learned about what it actually was…

Bazinga

Your editors editing style is more unhinged than a teenagers door after her alcoholic father kicked it in (he found out she hasnt done his dishes in 30 minutes so that door is really unhinged)

I was in my 20s, considered obese, and recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when this show was airing. Really glad I missed it. Thinking back to that time of my life, I can totally relate to some of these kids. Hi I was a kid, MTV was music videos 😂 They started doing the Real World stuff when I was a late teen… now we have the ultimate reality tv: KZfaq. Craziness :)

I knew a bunch of rich kids that got sent to "troubled teen" camps. If my parents had the cash they 100% would have sent me to fat camp while changing absolutely nothing that contributed to weight gain for me *and* them.

MTV post music era is something else man lol i remember 16 and pregnant playing one time and i felt the brain rot. Oh just bought some candy pretty excited to try it out!

17:41 i have hypothyroidism which she most likely has, it can cause weight gain and the thyroid regulates the metabolism and when the body gets rid of fat and if there isnt enough thyroid hormones all that process slows down a lot and it can cause mental symptoms like mood swings, anxiety and depression. The thyriod is a super important gland that helps the body function about 90% of it

I grew up overweight and I went to a fat camp that actually really helped me then and I still used some of the things I was taught there now as an adult, it was nothing like what I just witnessed 😂

WAKE UP! OOMPA posted

"I'm from a bad place" shows Virginia😂 can't be that bad is it?

You should really check out a reality show for kids where they lived in the wild wild west and competed for a gold star by being the best kid. Pretty sure it was called bonanza or something.

thanks for reminding me how awesome MTV used to be

but always sunny is a show that i'm so surprised hasn't been cancelled yet because that one is wild 😂😂😂

Instead of watching the new we all just need to watch oompville😂

They need updates on these people now and see how they’re doing a few decades later

2:25 I loved spike and deadliest warrior plus 1000 ways to die those shows were just crazy and I loved them! Not even forgetting River Monsters! So many memories

What makes this video even better. I had my son sit and watch heavyweights with me today. Haha

12:44 Obesity was declared a "global epidemic" in 1997 and is caused by multiple factors including larger portions, sedentary lifestyle and socioeconomics to name a few. ☮️

After coming back from the fast paced videos from 2021, I'm loving the direction you took this channel

"Do the truffle Shuffle!" 😂

The Bowling for Soup song in the background near the beginning XD Such a sign of the times then lol

bae wake up-a new oompaville video just dropped (im single)

Nice to see oompaville going back to his favorite places

The fruit and walnut salad may not have been "healthy", but I sure do miss it 😭😭 Wish they'd bring it back.

Oompa being home schooled really shows lol

Fatdemic 2: The Chubbening

I love that in the last 40 minutes the thumbnail has changed lol

Papa oompa's daily uploads making my life better fr

Keep up the great work Caleb! I loved your gaming videos and you are one of the top people I watch to keep in the loop

You mentioned Jack ruby. Back in the late eighties his niece was my girlfriends BFF. Tall blonde, very pretty

Oompa's videos fill me with their WIDE GIRTH

I dont think ill ever stop watching oompaville. Been watching since 2018/2019

Calling me out on pizza rolls when I’m taking them out of the toaster over😂

I loved watching Silent Library. Hilarious show man.

ALPHA

Interaction with Frankie and guy is hilarious😊

The way you say ambulance reminds me of my youth lol

bro looks the same after 4 years.

bricked rn

His name was chunk! His dance was the truffle shuffle!! Lol

My parents also threatened military school when I was younger. Jokes on them I joined 12 years ago…… wait I’m the fool here.

Let's not forget about the show teen mom

Watching this as I eat an entire chocolate bar

Oompa talking about MTV fat camp as if it was the actual worst thing that came out of MTV, not realizing Wonder Showzen was a thing XD

Franky plushies when

Bro I wished cancel culture wasn’t even a thing shows were much more entertaining

That South Park episode lol where Cartman goes to fat camp.😅

It's really sad that these parents are monetizing their kids and sending them off to do things like this when these kids are all still at the stage where they can fix the obesity issue at home with a healthy diet and just getting out and doing things with their children. Instead they're going to give these kids trauma around health and exercise, and that's only going to make their health worse.

I'm early today master, I always jump into your videos, I don't even see what's about

Okay

The map quest era was peak humanity

How is it you say exactly what I’m thinking the whole time I’m watching the outtakes…what a joke of a show, feel sorry for those who thought it was going to help but instead exploited them. Once again you nailed it

They need to bring this show back more than ever. I saw a 300+ woman walking around in a bathing suit at Walmart yesterday.

Idc what anyone says, Fat Camp was amazing, it was the brainrot of the early 2000s TV. My young brain couldn't stop watching it!

9:44, c’mon man.. his name is Chunk.. 😂

Yall remember the nightmare that was world's strictest parents. That show was WILD

Makes me so mad how parents can let their child get that way. YES it's the parents fault. There's no way you can justify having an obese child. The PARENT is supposed to take care of their children.
