Recap / The Real Ghostbusters Slimer 1 Slimer For Hire

Go To

Slimer is about to watch TV with a sandwich, when Peter yells at him, revealing that it was made with all the food in the fridge. He complains that food costs money and Slimer should get a job, which Slimer agrees to do. Meanwhile, Dweeb is showing a diagram of Slimer to Elizabeth. He also shows a machine he made to suck up slime.

Slimer is now looking for a job, so Luigi hires him. Slimer is asked to wash the dishes, so he does so with his tongue. When Rafael (Luigi's boss) sees Slimer doing this, he gets angry and fires him. Luigi pays Slimer anyway, then Dweeb tries to catch him in a restaurant. However, he instead sucks up all the food (since it was covered in gravy) and gets thrown out.

Rudy hires Slimer as a dogwalker, but the dogs pull when they try to chase a cat. They end up in a zoo, and Dweeb and Elizabeth pursue them on a mobile treadmill. Dweeb tries to catch Slimer, but accidentally gets a gorilla who got slimed. The gorilla yells at Dweeb and Elizabeth, so the machine and car run away of their own accord. Slimer returns the dogs to Rudy, who pays him.

Peter buys more food and is stocking the fridge, when Slimer gives him the money. However, he then hears singing outside and decides to convince him to give the money back.

This short provides examples of


  • Accidental Misnaming: Slimer mispronounces Luigi's name as "wee-jee".
  • Animal Jingoism: The dogs Slimer walks try to chase a cat.
  • Ate It All: Slimer uses all the food in the fridge to make a sandwich.
  • Covered in Gunge:
    • When demonstrating slime, Dweeb accidentally flings green stuff onto Elizabeth.
    • Luigi gets startled by Rafael yelling at Slimer, he throws the pizza dough in the air and ends up with it all over his face.
    • Slimer gets his slime all over a gorilla at the zoo, who is then sucked up by Dweeb's slime-sucker as a result.
  • Dagwood Sandwich: Slimer watches TV with a really tall sandwich made from all of the fridge's contents.
  • Dog Walks You: Slimer gets pulled along by the dogs when they try to chase the tabby cat.
  • Ectoplasm:
    • Exploited when Dweeb, noting that Slimer is slimy due to his ectoplasm, invents a machine to suck up slime in order to catch him.
    • Played for laughs when Slimer kisses Luigi, then later Peter, and gets slime on his face.
    • Played for laughs again when Slimer gets his gunk all over a gorilla at the zoo.
  • Getting the Boot: When Dweeb's machine sucks up the food at a restaurant, an unknown person literally throws him out.
  • Hilarity in Zoos: The dogs pull Slimer into a zoo, where he accidentally slimes a gorilla, who is inadvertently sucked up by Dweeb's slime-sucker.
  • Killer Gorilla: Downplayed — the gorilla roars and stands in an intimidating way but doesn't attack anyone.
  • Platonic Kiss: Slimer kisses Luigi to say thank you for being paid, then later he kisses Peter.
  • "Second Law" My Ass!: Dweeb's machine apparently has emotions, as when the gorilla roars, it runs away against Dweeb's wishes.
  • Wild Take: Rafael's eyes launch out of his head when he sees Slimer doing dishes with his tongue.
