"Having deliberately artificial, vulgar, banal, or affectedly humorous qualities or style..."
When they stick stuff in there deliberately to be comic relief, like the boozer cook with the robot or the "admiration" of an innocent female body, it's campy. So were the scenes at the ends of all those TOS episodes where Kirk, McCoy, and the entire bridge crew stand around and laugh exaggeratedly about something Spock said.
