IAMA person who had their school "taken over" by Nickelodeon. AMA (This time with proof)

Did the Sears Air Conditioning commercial people show up?

Oh god that would've been amazing, I love that commercial.

Guys, Steve from Blue Clues. Stop asking.

I know it's my answer to a lot of questions, but it was the most memorable to me. Sorry for not having more diverse answers, but we weren't exactly allowed to just go up and talk to anyone we wanted to.

Not a slight at you,people just ask the same damn question over and over without reading other people's questions.

Ok, cool.

Who from the shows did you get to meet?

I actually met Steve from Blues Clues, and only saw other Nickelodeon stars.

hmm. ok. we're done here.

Yeah, we weren't allowed to go up and talk to the Nick stars.

which stars did you meet?

The only person I actually got to meet and talk to was Steve from Blues Clues, but I saw Danny Tamberelli from All That and The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and Caitlin from Caitlin's Way.

That is my shirt

I confirm this, he's my friend and was also there.

have you had the unfortunate experience of hearing your parents having sex?

Novelty accounts are fun.

No, I haven't. It's easy not to when one parent lives in one state while the other lives in another.

Did you get to meet any cool Nickelodeon people, specifically Stick Stickly?

I met Steve from Blues Clues, and only saw Danny Tamberelli from All That, and Caitlin from Caitlin's Way.

Did you just say Danny Tamberelli from ALL THAT?? Am I the only one who explicitly knows him as Pete?

I love The Adventures of Pete and Pete, but it was easier to just type All That, instead of both shows.

...Caitlin's Way...wow...

Yep.

Did you know the student who won the contest? Did their life change dramatically? Like, did they go from a silly, nerdy 7 year old, to a hot, hunky 8 year old?

Only saw her, she was in the special needs class, I don't know what happened to her after that. She was a few grades ahead of me.

Did you get slimed, and was there anything involving a huge dressed up nicktoon character?

I didn't get slimed, unfortunately, but some teachers, students, and the principal did.

Did you ever manage to retake the school?

Unfortunately, it died over pretty quickly.

So, aside from seeing Steve from Blue's Clues, what actually happened? Did they just come to the school, hand out t-shirts, and have an hour long Nick themed assembly leaving the rest of the day for normal school? Did they actually go classroom to classroom through the whole day doing Nick themed educational stuff like involving slime in a bunch of science experiments/setting up a Double Dare style obstacle course for P.E.?

I know you were just seven when it happened and it's kind of hard to remember, but a quick chronological rundown of how the day actually went aside from just "Some teachers and kids got slimed" would be cool. I always imagined this happening at my school as a kid and I'd like to know how the day in reality actually goes compared to what my overactive kid brain thought it would be like.

No, the whole day revolved around the event. The first of the day, maybe the first hour we were in class, not doing work, just waiting for them to arrive. When they got there some actors came around and met with some classes, then we did the obstacle course thing (outside), and then we went in the gym and they did Double Dare with the teachers, slimings happened. Then a big concert happened, LFO performed.

I'm sorry you had to watch an LFO concert. Was it any good?

They threw out Twinkies, so yeah, it was good.

FUCK YEAH! TWINKIES!

Oh. Music. Yay.

THIS IS 'MURKA!!!

Yes, he stayed in character.

Is it true you met Steve from Blue's Clues?

Yes, he was pretty cool. I asked him where Blue was and he told me she was sick and couldn't make it.

What's the best memory you have of that day?

Meeting Steve from Blues Clues.

In that case, you may find this video interesting

I've seen it before, weird seeing a childhood role model talk about stuff like that.

How pumped were you when you found out that this was gonna happen?

I really don't remember, but I was excited as fuck when it actually happened.

Please tell me you or someone you know got slimed!

Teachers, Principal, and some older kids.

How did your school faculty react when they found out they were gonna get a weeks worth of sliming and have to participate in all these activities that differ from their day to day work? I assume some of them probably weren't on board with it.

It was only one day, unless I blacked out for 4 straight days. But all the staff seemed excited. I live in a small town, that was a small school, and when something that big happens, you're excited.

[deleted]

Yeah, I graduated in 2011 also.

Was it on schoolpizza day? I'd be so pissed if that happened to me on schoolpizza day...

I actually think we got pizza for lunch that day. from some place like Papa John's or whatever. Apparently it was Chuck E. Cheese's pizza.

Did you get so excited you pissed your pants? I probably would have. Or at least passed out.

No, but would've made for a good story.

Two part question here:

Did they tell you "what was in the burgers"? and

What did YOU think was in the burgers.

I don't know what you're talking about.

good burger maybe...

It's from "you can't do that on television."

I wasn't even born when the show was cancelled, so that explains a lot.

What preparations were made? Are there still any lasting stains from that day?

I don't know about preparations, as I was only a 7 y/o student. The only remains of it are the memories.

So did you still have to go to class and learn things when it was taken over? Or was the whole day just fucking around with Nickelodeon characters and slime?

No class, pretty much fun the whole day.

Were there any prizes/giveaways? If so, did you win anything?

No.

If you got slimed, what did it taste like?

Didn't get slimed myself, but watched teachers and the principal get slimed. I heard it tasted alright.

How long did the 'take over' go for? was it an entire day of activities?

Yeah, it was the entire day. Steve from Blues Clues came around to some rooms, then we had a Double Dare like obstacle course, and then a concert/ sliming show.

What did you do to win? Who was the host?

Sorry I didn't clarify, but I didn't win for my school, I was just there.
