  • The custard pie would be just as effective today in order to not make people use. Drugs suck.

  • ....my childhood. Got to love it!!!

  • I was 16 when this first aired I think, and remember it quite well. It was probably one of the most effective spots ever done on TV, at least as far as reaching teens was concerned. Having other kids making fun of it really made an impact, let me tell you. Never underestimate the power of TV y'all. I certainly never have.

  • When I was a kid I thought this was filmed inside the Epcot Ball.

  • it's good for you. it gives you that nice sticky feeling on your face.

  • I miss the 1980s

  • I want pie

    

  • Kinda Like All That Eh?

  • this show = epic win.

  • hahahahaha "lets do some jaywalkin man"

  • LOL. I saw reruns of this up to 94. But, don't remember it too much. Was born in 87. Hilarious show though.

  • What happened to great kid shows like this?

  • how did christine get the nickname moose

  • I grew up to this show on CBC 1981-89. Seemed to always be on and must be one of my most watched programs all time. I don't know why but Canada throws out some great comedy and writers. SCTV,SNL, Kids in the HAll. Had my nephew over he wanted Treehouse or some shit. I found this. Uncle to the rescue.

  • Now wonder they lost 102-0, there's only two kids on the team.

  • @MyNephewIsTough: Ummmmmmm no. It was on Nickelodeon.

  • How come they didn't say fuck or shit on this show? It was on HBO. They could cuss, right?

  • @MyNephewIsTough Nickelodeon*

  • @renfroe1980 And Laugh-In (the music at the very end)

  • Is it just me or is this show much more edgy than anything on now (for the same age range)? Loved it growing up and was surprised at how 1976 SNL it feels. Holds up pretty well, I think.

  • Memories..:) :)

  • Today, with the childhood obesity epidemic being what it is, pies probably are more dangerous to kids than drugs.

  • I love watching shows before i was born i dont remember this because i was born in 91 but its histerical they would never put this on today sadly

  • I hope they put this on DVD.

  • Actually, this show was on Nicolodean, not Disney.

  • sigh . what has you tube come to ..s i g h . so sad. you tube really sucks for not monitering these videos....

  • sigh . what has you tube come to ..s i g h . so sad.

  • I wonder if that pie was spiked with acid.

  • this show is the fuckin shit fuck you kf you think not

  • Wow...I thought this would be a lame anti-drug episode, but...wow

  • I wish somebody has the pre-emptive from "Crime and Vandalism" - Mr. Rogers Vandalizes the Neighborhood

  • I miss being a child in the eightites. You can't do that on television should have never been taken off the air. Look at the crap that Nickelodeon has replaced this show with.

  • We got this show because show writers were still allowed to have a sense of humor about things. We got this show because it was neither pushing nor rejecting the idea of drugs. It was taking the piss at it as they did to EVERYTHING. Real fans got it. Our parents didn't.

    What's sad is that now we're being parents and we can't learn from our OWN parent's lack of vision. Sad.

  • i fucking love this show, cant believe it aired in '79-91

  • Its too bad such a decent show gave into the bullshit (NWO) DARE War on Drugs propaganda brainwash. I hope they realized how futile it was to be part of it even for one show after the likeliness pot will now be legaized slowly and how pathetic and what a waste of dead lives and tax dollars it turned out into.

  • I grew up watching this show and many other politically incorrect shows on television as a child. Back then, most kids could understand wit and sarcasm and know the difference between Make-Believe violence and violence in real life. Nowadays were raising retarded bitches that can't handle any kind of stress, be it real or imaginery.

  • Now Im hungry for pie!

  • there should be a classic nickelodeon channel with only the old shows and Commercials

  • This show was the shiz and I always asked my older sis what happened to it. The slime the Burger guy "barf's" just so fun to watch when I was little. I'm 29 now.

  • Our parents would never allow Nickelodeon to sink so low

  • @tedmania1 This was 1981. The network wasn't forced to be so high and mighty back then.

  • Disney was out way b4 nick... Where do u think nick got there idea's??

  • Funny as hell. Never realized the drug references when I was A kid. Absolutely loved this show !!!

  • @erikbl77 Well, they did replace the addictive drugs with pies, same effect. Hopefully they didn't become afraid of pies after this.

  • Comment removed

  • What a fun and creative teen show this was...much better than anything you'll see on the Disney channel nowadays.

  • This shoe was awesome. I miss this.

  • I wish I could buy drugs for ten bucks Canadian and a crappy watch.

  • Children's Monty Python or the Prototype of Adult Swim.

  • @Neptuneman07 More like a childrens Laugh-In(the variety show from the 1960's)

  • Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood Pusher lmao!

  • _____All these decades, I finally noticed. The teacher's got a HITLER mustache. Look at 'em. He's a spitting image of Der Fuhrer. Look around the classroom for eagle and iron-cross motifs, dudes. YOU say that the Nazis skipped off to hide in South America. Just maybe, some of 'em managed to get farther north--WA-A-AY farther north.

  • Something tells me this would NEVER fly today. Damn you PC Police!

  • fuck all that and icarly this and pete and pete are the real nickelodeon live action

  • I wish Nick would make an all 80's & 90's station, Thats when Nickelodeon ruled ! This show was awesome !!

  • @DONDON2013 I agee man.

  • @DONDON2013 Agreed!

    

  • Barth was the best!!!

  • Comment removed

  • woah, that's pretty "edgy" for early '80s childrens TV!! :D

  • she was hot I love Mooses!

  • omg i wouldnt even let my kids watch this lol (now)

  • wtf? they really let us watch this?? omg lol

  • So many good memories. Wish it was on DVD.

  • the doctor looks exactly like Groucho marx! all the way down to the cigar and acting!

  • i love how there's just no segway between sketches.

  • lol 5:27 Pinball is more important then Algebra!!!

  • I vaguely remember this episode, I don't think Nick re-ran it much. I was in about the 3rd grade, so I didn't really "get" it, but I remember it as it plays, like deja vu!

  • As an adult watching this, its quite clever. They would never be able to have a kids show like this. Hey wait, that kid has a Flyers Jersey on! GO FLYERS!

  • Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood pusher wont be seen tonight.... LMAO.. Try to do that nowadays...

  • That intro would have definitely been more appropriate for Saturday Night Live,hence the word 'night'.

  • one of favorite shows ever. We Want DVD!!

  • I never saw this episode before. Does anyone know what episode number this is?

  • i couldnt wait until this came on

  • 9:29-9:35

    Al Jolson in reverse!

  • sometimes they would do the water thing even if they say something relating to water.

  • " it's good for ya, you get a nice sticky feeling on your face "

  • Good Day!

    I remember watching this show with my sister, on Saturday mornings. It aired I'm sure abt 11am Saturdays on CTV, (back when it began,..1980..) We loved it! ( We saw it in B+W...could not afford colour TV) Did not know until friends said the slime was green!! My parents thought it was a bit disgusting,.but were ok abt us watching....it was fun.... Sorry to hear that Les passed away..

    Clearly remember the "Barth & the Health Inspector" bit. Barth burgers..barf burgers..hehe

  • These guys are grown now! I wonder what they're up to now?

  • I love it! I used to watch this when I was a kid. I miss these older shows. They were a whole lot better than what's on now. Addicted to pies! LOL

  • LOL! I forgot about this one.

  • this show ruled the band lethal aggresssion should have been on this show

  • Let's do some jaywalkin' man

  • wait a minute...when she said...." good clean fun " she got water dumped on her....but she didnt say..."water" ???

  • @wolfiescwolferton

    she said clean i guess. so she wanted to be clean so they poured water on her

  • Good to see some Philly pride here! Thanks Kevin Schenk!

  • haven't seen this show since '83!

  • I loved the hairstyles of most of the guys in this episode. Feathered hair is kick ass!!! Just like Rick Springfield wore his hair feathered in the late seventies and early eighties. It's a bummer that feathered hair is now out of style.

    ~Mr. Make Believe

  • Thats the shit!

    I watched that damn show all the time when I was a kid.

    It seems so weird now.

  • Oh, wow. Just wow. It's stuff like this that just proves nick was better back then than its late 99's. they did an episode on DRUGS?!?! DRUGs? the FCC is just full of shit.

  • This episode was fucking brilliant.

  • lol i miss this show.

  • Why did she wet up, she didn't say water.

  • She said some good "CLEAN FUN" didn't she?

  • Thanks for posting! I miss this show.

  • MOOSE IS HOT...

  • 3:05 oh no they're gonna OD

  • I miss the roaming kid cam. That was great, even if it was all from Canada.

  • Does anybody know what Les Lye died from?

  • diabetes and heart problems

  • Hahaha pie in the face as a drug addiction, personally if I were addicted to pies I won't be splatting my face with them, I'll be eating them one after the other mmmmm cream pies

  • I'll miss you Les. Thank you for the memories :(.........

  • I loved this show!

  • Disney has always sucked in my opinion. I miss the old Cartoon Network though, when they had shows like Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and all the old Merry Mellodies cartoons.

  • @LqrDrnkr757 Disney wasn't worthy enough to latch Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon's tennis shoes strings back in those days ;).

  • Anti-drug episode? I don't remember this one. However, I was addicted to touching myself while fantasizing about Christine....

  • Loved This Show... Wish it was on TV or DVD.

  • RIP, Les.

  • RIP Les Lye-

  • Les Lye, we'll miss you RIP.

  • Man Nickelodeon really ripped the green slime gimmick away from them.

  • The show's success on Nickelodeon led to longevity for both the network and the show, so the appropriation of the slime was only natural.

  • this was on Nickelodeon

  • R I P Les Lye :-(

  • Les Lye was the fucking man. he made me laugh like no one could as a kid.

  • @sugarcheryl Yeah I just learned of this, Bummer.. He was a great actor/comedian..

  • Mr. Rogers, neighborhood pusher will not be seen at this time so that we may bring you the following weedy program. HAHAHA I loved this show as a kid.

  • I never thought of that show as edgy. But this is clever. I'll bet American audiences would have complained.

  • Comment removed

  • I live in Connecticut and grew up on this show. I don't recall any outrage from parents.

    It was a much different time back then.

  • But it was a different era. Guns were not as accessable and no internet.

  • dgenerate, I also grew up on this show, people back then still got outraged over the same stuff. These days the media is more willing to spend hours debating their nonsense. These days "Some people say" is all the evidence the media needs to make a story.

  • Actually, this is a giant step up from the PSA's shown to our kids.

    They needed a demonstration on drugs integrating with their lives. If they just did the whole show just saying stay away, the kids might not be convinced. Using pies as drugs was key.

  • @c3section They demonstrated that pies were comparable to drugs,although I'd prefer the more civilized approach of eating them instead of getting them splattered in my face.

  • This show was the BEST... :)

    It's funny how every generation thinks theirs was so much better, though. I was born in the 80's, so for me this show was IT... but I know for a fact that my daughter will think I was on drugs to like this, just like we thought the shows our parents watched were lame and cheesy as hell.

    Someday my daughter will be telling her own kids about how much better TV was back in the day when there was still Dora and SpongeBob and Zoey 101... UGH. :P

  • I feel your pain. No matter how cheesy the 80s will look as we get older, comparatively, most of the programming was still smarter than anything today.

  • Comment removed

  • this is classic tv before gay shit like sponge bob ruined it i feel bad for the youth with the gov. brain washing cartoons they have now

  • What Nickelodeon should do is create a Nick Classics Channel and put shows like this, Count Duckula, etc. on it. I think people would enjoy it. I know I would.

  • I'm amazed they haven't already... think about it, though- this show is probably old enough now to be put into syndication on TVLand.

    o_O

    I would have said Nick at Nite, but let's be real. "Malcom in the Middle" is the newest addition to their late-night lineup of "George Lopez", "Family Matters", "The Nanny", "Home Improvement", and "Roseanne"...

    I think Nick at Nite has lost it's classics status, LOL. Two cents, anyone? :P

  • No, Nick at Nite hasn't lost its "classics" status. It's 2009, so those shows you mentioned are officially old now. Personal nostalgia can really warp one's senses.

  • My senses are fine, thanks- and I know those shows are classics now. I even know what year it is, how bout that?

    What I should have said is that the new classic lineup isn't CLASSIC classic compared to the shows Nick@Nite used to aire like I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, or Bewitched. The Nick@Nite lineup once consisted of shows from *several* generations back, not just the most recent.

    I did say "two cents...?"- but if you're out to antagonize and quibble at random, feel free to keep yours.

  • I was trying to make a point about how the past can seem romanticized more than newer things, and you've proven my point. If you're out to antagonize any replies to what initially appeared to be your attempt at discussion ("two cents, anyone?"), feel free to keep YOURS.

  • George Lopez is "old" and "classic"? You're like what, 12?

  • You missed my point. You're like what, 11?

  • love those canadian accents.

    when i was a kid i didnt even notice an accent.

  • I grew up with this show in the 80s and it still brings a smile to my face today

  • Does anyone have the smoking episode where Les Lye comes out of character to say you shouldn't smoke.

  • I thought at 5:28, Kevin was going to walk out in the hall and do the "Sometimes it so easy, I'm ashamed of myself" bit.

  • She didn't say water!!!

  • This show was fucking brilliant!

  • YES, YES, YA'LL! AND YOU DON'T STOP!!!!

    YCDTOTV for life baby!!

    I'm 33 years old and I have been watching this show since I was 6. I still can't get enough.

    Big ups to Pinwheel, The Third Eye, Haunting of Cassie Palmer, Under the Mountain, Into the Labyrinth, and Children of the Stones!!!

    Old school Nickelodeon is the ONLY Nickelodeon.

  • this was one of my favorite shows growing up. i used to watch ycdtotv all the time

  • I loved this show back in the day!

  • lol i actually think they are making fun of all the other tv programs with their anti-drugs messages and how silly and unrealistic they are. All the anti-drug programs of the 80s failed miserably, JUST SAY NO--failed

    DARE- failed

  • So true. I really wish I remembered how I considered the "messages" in this show when I was young watching them. I think it was just funny to me...even the ones in the show that were supposed to be serious.

  • LOL so let me get this straight... the cast got "high" by pieing themselves continuously over and over, comparing the stupidity of hitting oneself with a pie to the stupidity of taking drugs... PURE GENIUS!

  • This was great back in the day, of course so was 99% of everything in the 80's. I loved watching this as a kid, now I have to worry about what my 10 year old watches, sad.

  • Ah, the precursor to the "opposite skits"

  • I remember when i was a kid I used to love watching this show because my parents hated it so much. If my parents didn't utterly despise , I don't think I would have loved it as much as I did. haha, I love the execution scene with the kid pointing a gun to his head! The same can be said of Ren and Stimpy. Man, why does Nickelodeon suck balls now?

  • I remember my parents being so pissed whenever I find out that this show is on. LMAO

  • i love the intro song. at 1:13 you cant say that doesnt sound like Howard Dean.

  • at 0:57 it sounds like the kid with the hat says "You Suck"??

  • god i actually remember this show. theres no way it would get aired on a kids network these days. this would be cool for adultswim though =P

  • This shows NEEDS to be on DVD... NOW!!

  • Listen, sista! Don't knock it 'til ya tried it!

    LOL

  • Ohhh yeahhhhh. Let's do some jaywalking man...

  • I loved this show! But I always wondered if those generic cream pies they used on this show and a lot of other shows tasted good. I always wanted to try one, but they got wasted on faces :(

  • hahaha wrong

  • wow... i just realized one of my teachers was in this show... he's an asshole now

  • which one?

    Child acting really does a number on kids.

  • no idea who he was on the show... but it's kevin kubusheskie

  • I loved this show growing up.. and it still kicks ass!
