The first 2 clips are already so hilarious! The fact that she didn’t realize she couldn’t say I don’t know in the second clips and says it unknowingly really takes the cake, especially after she already got watered for saying water.
Oh Stacey she wolf I hope Stacey she wolf has been catching plenty of rabbits and hares and has been seeking out the moon and I hope Stacey She Wolf 🐺 has been absolutely DESTROYING the strawberry frappes at the soda shop.

15 years ago... the 80s... 20.years from now. Or 40. You Can't Do That On Television will always hold up. Unfortunately the generations now and in the future will never experience the feeling of getting up Saturday mornings and turning that UHF dial to channel 3. Which was a very brand new station called Nickelodeon. And watching this first ever kid show with this kind of comedy. It was brilliant. That's my memories.
If you watch the clip, she said, 'Insufficient data'...which was a computer's version of saying 'I don't know'. Part of the clip was to show that the slime was being computer controlled for that one scene. Doesn't make sense, but that was the brilliance of the show.
I wish that this was the way the real world operated. Whenever someone says "I don't know?" You'd get slimed. I also gotta say. I loved this show. Awesome.
You have to LOVE how sometimes the slime has this delay and you can almost see it in their faces where it’s like, “Oh...didn’t get....OH THERE WE GO...” 🤣🤣🤣 Or how the water goes on for way longer and you can tell they wanna laugh cause it’s like, “WOW this is still going????!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t care how old I am I LOVE THIS SHOW it was GOLD!
@@DrJekyll38 as water rains down on you just for that lmfao just how it worked bake then. They need to do a cdtot remake with the generation now finds the old studio and gets it going again
I remember watching this back in 1988 when I was 8. So funny! But I now feel bad for the people who worked in the wardrobe department on the show. All those green slimy clothing they had to wash.
I DON'T KNOW! *SLIME POURS ON MY HEAD* man I wish I could've been on this show. It must've been fun to gotten slimed. I think I'll go get a glass of water. *WATER POURS ON MY HEAD*
The one where Nasti the Dungeon Guy slimes Vanessa is one of my favorites because before he does Vanessa suggests they use the new audience voting where you're supposed to press a green or red square on the TV screen, and he insists that everyone LOVES to see little girls get green slime "gal-lumped" all over them. For some reason I found that really funny as a kid.
I read somewhere that they got paid somewhere between 150 and 170 dollars every time they got slimed and around 50 every time they got water poured on them. For that money, I'd have been covered in slime and water the whole time. A kid in the 80s and that kind of money... too great
Moose was Christine's nickname in real life, not just on the show. It has been said that she got the nickname because of her short stature, but one cast member said that Christine hated her curly hair and was always trying to flatten it down with her hands, which made it look like she had "moose antlers." In any case, when Christine mentioned this nickname to the show's producers, they wrote it into the script of every show, so she must have had a REALLY hard time living it down.
I thought Christine McGlade got the nickname moose from the name Mr. Moose on Captain Kangaroo. No matter if she as a perm or not, she was beautiful back then & now. Perm or no perm, she was great.
Where do they dump it from? Actually Vanessa I've always wondered that too? I just don't know? (Green slime) Very interesting. Is it always green? Yeah it usually is but I guess it could be red. (Red slime) Or blue (Blue slime) Or yellow (Yellow slime) Yeah. Alright you think you're so smart? Let's see stripes! (Red, Yellow, and Blue slime) Boy it must be tough being a TV star. How does this stuff come out? It usually comes out with water. (Water) Usually.
The part that I saw was funny when the man with the water hose sprays water the kids, Stephanie yelled "Turn the water off!!!", then the water from above dumped all over her.
No mistake. It was part of the plot of the episode ("Families", from 1984). The boy (Jeff) is Ross's nephew, but Ross says that he can't get Jeff slimed or wet or "his mother will kill me!" However, at the end of that very episode, Jeff says "I.D.K." and DOES get slimed.
Yep. She told Lisa she was sure she had come up with a way to admit she didn't know the answer to a question without saying the magic words and having the slime come down. Taking a cue from computers, she said, "Insufficient data." That's why Lisa makes the comment afterwards about the slime being computerized.
Christy: INSUFFICIENT DATA *Get slime* Christy: Wait a minute, wait just a minute! Thats only supposed to happen when I say I don't know! *looks up* I DON'T KNOW!!!
2 things about this iconic Canadian 🇨🇦 show that aired on Nickelodeon about things getting dumped on you by saying either: I don't know = Slime Or Water
I remember when the kids ate something tasted horrible on the link set in the Celebrations episode and Amy said "Gross, Get me some water please!" and she got drenched.
I don't know. (slimed) Well, I do know what slime is made of. It's made of cornstarch, jello powder, sometimes soap and even water would be the last one maybe. (watered) (saying Moose's line) See what I mean?
I got slimed like Vanessa at 6:22 but I instead used green gel, green shampoo and conditioner, green water vinegar, butter flavored syrup, all green glues, Staying Glue Gel, Green Styling Gel, Extreme Hold, Sick Day Snot Slime, and Green Paint. I got hit everywhere Vanessa got slimed on. Vanessa is my favorite 👍👍👍👍👍💲💲💲💲💲👍💲💲
(slimed) Wait a minute! That's not fair. What just happened idespiseall? You just said "I don't know". (slimed again) I'm not the one who said it for the first time, you did.
Insufficient data. (slimed) Wait a minute. Wait just a minute, that's not fair! I didn't even say "I don't know". (Looks up) I DON'T KNOW! Oh, silly me, the slime was being computer controlled.
Uh oh, I think you said the word "water". (Gets watered) Actually there's no water above you though. (Gets watered again) Gosh, how did I get away with this?
I watched this show when I was like 8, I’m now 44. This is hilarious 😄

The show's title is truly prophetic.

You don't know for sure if this show would be a hit or not! Don't give me that generation bs!
So you’re saying you couldn’t do this on television?
I’ll show myself out.

They need to bring this series back. It's a freaking RIOT!
I watched this before MTV came out...
But what about Ross?
Agreed!!!!
Maybe if George and Maria Schlatter helps Roger Price and it was shot in LA.
ya meen da 144hz guy
And with this show, Nickelodeon’s iconic green slime was born

One day, my slimerade, one day. The Republic will one day rise and make the world how it should’ve always been.
Memories of when I was 8 to 11.
Memories of when I was 18-21 and wanted to get it on with Moose and maybe Lisa, too.
Lots of the kids were laughing when they got slimed or got water. You know I would've loved that. I miss the 80's
They complained a lot about it too
I use to watch this show every day after school
Same
Great acting....they always seemed so surprised and never broke character. I would have been laughing uncontrollably.
Ah Lisa " Motormouth" Ruddy! She almost always got the water while Christine "Moose" McGlade got both water and slime! They made a perfect pair!
0:54 the Dungeon dude was my favorite, also the Barth burger scenes :)
Duuuuhhh I heard that!!! Lol. Barth was great. Gross, but great. "Waste not, whatnot I always say."
The show that invented Slime
You have to LOVE how sometimes the slime has this delay and you can almost see it in their faces where it’s like, “Oh...didn’t get....OH THERE WE GO...” 🤣🤣🤣 Or how the water goes on for way longer and you can tell they wanna laugh cause it’s like, “WOW this is still going????!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t care how old I am I LOVE THIS SHOW it was GOLD!
Brings back memories. It seemed that Christine got the worst of it. People barfing in the restaurant was funny as well.
Well, it never went to waste at Barthy's.
After all...
What do you think is in the burgers?
Nah, Lisa probably got slimed the most, Christine was more likely to get hit with water!

Such a great fun show. No political agenda just kids having fun and being entertaining!
They wouldn't dare put a political agenda in a Nickelodeon show anyway!
certainly better than television today!
The girl in the beginning of the video: nice slime facial.
I looked for these videos for so long! thank u for sharing!

Me too!!
Is Chris the name of the visual effects guy who drops the slime and water onto the cast whenever they said “I don’t know!/water”
I hope they had a washer and dryer in the studio. lol :D

Moose was always a champ when it came to taking the slime and water!
Actually she seems to be the ONLY ONE taking it the RIGHT WAY, SLIME followed by WATER (to clean it out ya know).
What I never understood was, why did they look up at the slime while it was coming down?
After a few seasons, they told the actors to start looking up so it would cover their faces more.
Jason Moore I gotcha. Thanks.
That never gets old.
I wish they’d do this during the Presidential Debate 🧑🏻🎤
1:14 she definitely just yelled "aw fuck," lol
she did.
That never gets old!
Where do they dump it from?
Actually Vanessa I've always wondered that too? I just don't know?

Very interesting. Is it always green?
Yeah it usually is but I guess it could be red.

Or blue

On the 1984 episode "Famillies", Lisa's first word as a baby was "Wawa" which was a baby word for "water". (watered) "Wawa" was a funny word.
Water!
(Water)
You knew that was coming didn't you Christine?
Ahh! The Great Christini knows all!

Christy: Wait a minute, wait just a minute! Thats only supposed to happen when I say I don't know!
*looks up*
I DON'T KNOW!!!
They forgot to tell you, Christine, the slime is computer controlled
3:09...Did Christine get slimed b/c "insufficient data" is a synonym for "I don't know"?
John McDevitt...yes. The premise was that the equipment was ran by computers, and that was "computer language".
That would make that show watchable. You could make it where the word is secret before the show so it is always a surprise.
I Always Wondered What Might Happen if Someone Said “By the Power of Grayskull”.
Always loved the chunky green slime. 😛
One of my favorites growing up fun show 80s was was such a fun time growing up
I miss this show.
Were there any episodes of "You Can't Do That On Television" where there was no water or slime poured on the stars of the show?
5:15 Talk about getting the colors of the rainbow in that slime, plus something to get that gunk out. XP

I remember when the kids ate something tasted horrible on the link set in the Celebrations episode and Amy said "Gross, Get me some water please!" and she got drenched.
Well, Vanessa did get some of the splashback from the slime being dumped on Christine's head.
I always noticed how the slime was often a different shade of green and sometimes even a different texture.
I guess you could say You Can’t Do That On Television invented the ice bucket challenge
I hope that water was at least warm

Just what is it thats so funny about watching pre-teens get slimed?
I don't know... Whoops! 😱💦
They got an extra 25 dollars every time they got slimmed or water dumbed on them loved this show
How did Christine get the nickname Moose? Well, I don't know. (slimed) Anyway that multicolored slime looks pretty colorful on stripes.
*_I DONT KNOW_* why I don't like *_WATER_*
These kids were paid so well on that show. Canada had it made for them.
and yeah, this never gets old.
This show was essentially the same few sketches rewritten over and over and over again, and yet I kept watching. Not sure why...
When they looked up at it made it 10x more hilarious
(slimed) Wait a minute! That's not fair. What just happened idespiseall? You just said "I don't know". (slimed again) I'm not the one who said it for the first time, you did.
Vanessa's gigantic glasses 👓
Hahahaha 😁
This ,turkey tv, and danger mouse was a good night
That's how she got the nickname "Moose".
i swear i heard her say "oh fu@k" 1:15
Lisa always made the best faces when they dumped on her.

LMAO, good one! I think Hasselbeck is most deserving...
Lisa said "Wa, wa" which is short for "water".
