* A rare funny moment happens to, of all people, ''The Major'' in episode 14 of ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex''. She gets surprised by an android, who grabs her and punches her clean out of a window. An android herself, she isn't really hurt. However...she ended up in the middle of a heap of wet, smelly trash. ''She'' didn't find it funny at all.

* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyGenerations'': Not shown but, in Issue 3, Fluttershy is trying to showcase creatures known as shriek-yowls who get disturbed by the rude remarks Sliverstream and Oculus are making. This causes them to cover the class in what Fluttershy calls "projectile defense" offscreen, which apparently took awhile to clean off the class.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'': Peter's webs are rendered pretty realistically, so that when he web-yanks Mysterio by the face, it's covered in gooey little driblets of web.

* ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck'': Subverted for laughs when Sam Steele is thrown into a puddle of extremely thick mud by an annoyed Scrooge. Upon rising to his feet again, [[DirtForcefield all the mud simply slides off him and leaves him spotless]] -- as he explains immediately afterwards, [[TheAce a superintendent of the North-Western Mounted Police]] does not get... "muddy".
* In ''ComicBook/LoriLovecraft: Repression'', Lori has to do 120 takes of a scene in which she is doused in syrup at the orders of a director who is a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Creator/AlfredHitchcock.
* ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer loves cheese dip. So, when he acquired a magical wish, his choice was a mountain of the stuff... unfortunately for everybody within several hundred feet.

* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Short story [[Literature/SideJobs "It's My Birthday, Too!"]] starts with Harry Dresden and his apprentice Molly arriving home covered from head to shoes in purple pus so malodorous that Harry's pets ran away upon smelling it. When Molly asks if their clothes could be salvaged, Harry just throws his [[BadassLongcoat (indestructible) longcoat]] into the fireplace to burn the sludge off, and tells her he tried bringing his clothes to a laundry after his previous fight with a slime golem, but the next day the laundry's owner set it on fire and attempted InsuranceFraud.

** A lethal version occurs in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E2TheHappinessPatrol "The Happiness Patrol"]], where EvilChef the Kandy Man executes "killjoys" by deluging them in scalding strawberry fondant. (He has other flavours, but strawberry is the only one shown.)
** Happens a lot in general to people fighting the Slitheen [[spoiler: or [[Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures Slitheen-Blathereen]]]]. One splash of [[WeaksauceWeakness vinegar]] and ''pop''.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem "The Sontaran Stratagem"]]: The Sontarans' clone-template, which eventually becomes an evil duplicate of Martha Jones, is in a pool full of green goo.

* This is a RunningGag in ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'', though it hasn't been seen as much as of late. Whenever Dejah, a living Slime, uses his "Slime Geyser" teleport spell, one of the teleported always, ''always'', gets covered in slime. It's always, ''always'' Luna (and she always, ''always'' has an exasperated look on her face when it happens).
** [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2012-10-03 Well, almost always...]]

* [[http://sorethumbs.keenspot.com/d/20071005.html Ugghhh...]] [[Webcomic/SoreThumbs Too many chocolates.]]

* ''[[http://ysdtic.com You Shouldn't Do That In Comics]]''. Written/"drawn" by a WAM fetishist, and inspired by ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision''.
* Gil of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' ends up covered in green gunk after cutting his way out of a giant carnivorous plant.
* A minor antagonist in ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'' is Chocly the Sweetboy, a monster that started out as a Christmas mascot but went horribly bad. It leaves kids it encounters slathered with fudge.

* From Website/TheOnion: [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/exnickelodeon-stars-relate-horrors-of-green-slime,1174/ "Ex-Nickelodeon Stars Relate Horrors Of Green Slime Syndrome"]].

* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' characters are prone to this, but especially Fanboy. He has been sneezed on, covered with Frosty Freezy Freeze, gotten a PieInTheFace several times, been assaulted with eggs, had the school cafeteria food all over him and once his costume got so dirty it actually ''came to life''.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}}'' -- already upset at believing he's not getting the respect his bandmates get, Toki is slimed while getting a kids-choice award, turning him dark and angry, especially toward kids.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** "Mmmm. Free goo."
** In "Brother from the Same Planet", Homer tries to make it up to Bart (for forgetting to pick him up after soccer practice) by offering him a hot-fudge sundae, but he accidentally spills it over his head.

** One [[NoodleIncident off-screen mission]] in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E9TigerMillionaire "Tiger Millionaire"]] ended with Amethyst getting Steven covered in goo from a "blood polyp". Steven being [[CheerfulChild Steven]], he's not particularly bothered, until it crystalizes, leaving him stuck in one place for hours.
** A typical side effect of destroying Plug Robonoids is they spray goop everywhere afterward. The first time this happens in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E44MarbleMadness "Marble Madness"]] Amethyst, who is covered head to toe in the stuff, gleefully chases after Pearl to give her a "goop hug". Then she gives Garnet one too.

* A RunningGag on the ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' films is Biff Tannen or one of his ancestors falling head first into a truck full of manure.

** Due to the popularity of ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' on {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}, the network's [[UsefulNotes/KidsChoiceAwards Kids' Choice Awards]] has this done to extreme lengths since the 1980s. Most of the time it happens to celebrity guests, who have included the likes of Creator/WillSmith, Creator/JackBlack, Creator/RobinWilliams, Creator/HarrisonFord (the source of the page image), Creator/DwayneJohnson, Music/JustinBieber and Creator/RobertDowneyJr. Green slime has become a motif in the channel's brand.

* ''[[{{Series/Boom}} BOOM!]]'': [[Cutting a wrong wire on the TimeBomb associated with your question will result in the bomb "detonating" and spraying you and the audience with gunge.

* ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar'': At the films climax the [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Super Hot Giant Alien]] picks up [[JerkJock Tommy]] and swallows him whole. When she's [[StuffBlowingUp defeated]] Tommy is revealed to have survived his stay in her stomach and he's coated from head to toe in a slimy substance.

* Happens to Music/CharliXCX in the video for "Break the Rules", courtesy of a SadistTeacher played by Creator/RoseMcGowan. It's presented as a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Carrie}}'', but the pink goo thankfully isn't animal blood, and [[AttackBackfire she and everyone else find it fun]].

* ''Film/{{Carrie}}'' has a PlayedForDrama version when Carrie is covered in pig's blood.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', Mario can get completely covered in the various types/colors of sludge he needs to clean up if you slide around in it long enough. A simple spin jump or diving in some water will remove it immediately.

* ''Series/WhammyTheAllNewPressYourLuck'' had this in the form of the "Double {{Whammy}}", where, in addition to losing all your current winnings, you also got covered in gunge related to the Whammy animation shown.

* In the ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheLongEventide'' Rainbow Dash starts a FoodFight during a luncheon with the highest-ranking members of the [[EvilCounterpart shady and potentially dangerous Umbral Society]], the results of which include mashed potatoes in manes, feta cheese in feathers, Twilight trying to dislodge cucumber slices from her horn and Rainbow herself wearing the contents of a blueberry pie.

* ''[[Series/GetYourOwnBack Get Your Own Back]]'' is a show that had kids compete to dunk an authority figure into the "Gunk Dunk", an enormous vat of gunge. One of the most memorable episodes started off as usual only for one of the contestants to reveal their real target... [[LargeHam the show's host]].

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}'' episode "April Ghoul's Day" , the first prank that Vee plays on Poppy and Bridget is to dump a bucket of slime on them.

* A constant running gag in ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'':

* ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Models and Buckets]]. It initially presents as a parody of the US presentation of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' but with Buckets instead of briefcases. From there it plays like a Nickelodeon show because only one bucket had money. Occasionally leads to ITasteDelicious.

** The first version of ''Pictionary''. The BonusRound that made it to air involved kids simply getting wet in the "Water Works", although clips of the pilot shown on the commercials showed them playing a game with [[PieInTheFace pies]].

* ''[[{{Series/Boom}} BOOM!]]'': Cutting a WrongWire on the TimeBomb associated with your question will result in the bomb "detonating" and spraying you and the audience with gunge.

Check ThePigPen for someone who is always like this. When it's blood that somebody is covered with, it's BloodSplatteredInnocents; if they did it intentionally and like it, it's BloodIsTheNewBlack. If it's mud they're covered in, it's... well... CoveredInMud. An OlderThanTelevision version is PieInTheFace.

** Adam Gontier in Three Days Grace ''Break''

** Jenna is at a 'Kid's Choice' awards show, where Best Actress winner Helen Mirren (or at least someone playing her) gets slimed at the podium. She chuckles "Ohh, you got me!"

** Due to the popularity of ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' on {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}, the "Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards" has this done to extreme lengths. Most of the time it happens to celebrity guests, as part of the big stunt near the end, and to a surprise celebrity guest such as Creator/JimCarrey, Creator/JohnnyDepp or Creator/RobinWilliams. Green slime has become a motif in the channel's brand.
