50 Amazing Photos of Celebs Being Slimed on Nickelodeon

Are you even a celebrity if you haven't been slimed? Answer: no, obviously not. Much like being nominated for an Oscar, being slimed on Nickelodeon is a rite of passage every celebrity dreams of. Which probably explains why so many acteurs have allowed themselves to be drenched in green goop over the years. Here, we've rounded up 50 slimed celebs as part of an ongoing mission to preserve slime's legacy in American history books, but first, some fun facts.

1. Per Vice, the very fist sliming happened on You Can't Do That on Television in 1979. Said slime was originally meant to be "food slop" which grew "eight inches of green crud." As producer Geoffrey Darby said, "We had to get the scene. We couldn't get more slop… So we said, Dump it on the kid anyway." Wow, horrifying.
2. Nickelodeon got rich on slime. Aside from incorporating it into literally all their shows, they started manufacturing slime cereal, slime ketchup, and actual slime—aka Gak. Oh, and Nick hosts an annual Slime Fest. Like Coachella but for slime, ya know?
3. It's made from vanilla pudding and green food coloring. So yes, it turns out slime is delicious and I would, in fact, eat it.

Obviously, slime > everything, but if you're wondering how celebs got involved, that'd be because of The Kids' Choice Awards, where A-list award winners often get slimed. TBD on if they know it's coming in advance (there was some debate about this on gossip account @DeuxMoi recently), but judging from how many people look completely horrified, I'm going with no. On that note, onto our slimy celebs!
