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.

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.

And with this show, Nickelodeon’s iconic green slime was born

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.

Ah Lisa " Motormouth" Ruddy! She almost always got the water while Christine "Moose" McGlade got both water and slime! They made a perfect pair!

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

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!

Great acting....they always seemed so surprised and never broke character. I would have been laughing uncontrollably.

Water! (Water) You knew that was coming didn't you Christine? Ahh! The Great Christini knows all!

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.

That never gets old!

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.

You forgot a line "Alright, smart guys, let's see STRIPES!"

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.

When they looked up at it made it 10x more hilarious

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?

Always loved the chunky green slime. 😛

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

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.
