Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dubbed as "the show that goes anywhere and does anything to find kids having fun", this Nickelodeon Game Show (term used loosely) from The '90s featured teams of kids playing games ranging from summer camp-style contests to different takes on sports; several episodes also took place at amusement parks or water parks. The games were played strictly for fun with whatever kids they could round up for the day, including locals, members of boys' and girls' clubs, and sometimes even the cast and/or crew's own family members; no prizes were awarded, hence no apparent need for "eligibility requirements". The show was created and executive produced by Woody Fraser, who would later go on to create and executive produce another series for Nickelodeon, What Would You Do? (Nickelodeon). The show was produced by Woody Fraser Productions and Nickelodeon alongside Reeves Entertainment Group, a production company owned at the time by Thames Television.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Revived in 2002 for a brief period, with episode names all containing "WACK". This time, Valencia Entertainment International replaced Reeves Entertainment Group as a production partner, as Thames Television had gone bankrupt in 1992 and was bought out by Fremantle Media. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Wild and Crazy Kids / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Jessica remarks at the end of a show featuring Marc Summers how no one got slimed... and immediately all three hosts get drenched in the green stuff. Happened also in the episode in which the Los Angeles Fire Department guest starred. At the end of the show, the fire captain mentions how disappointed he is that no one has experienced a pie in the face (hitting Jessica with a pie as he says this) or a gunk balloon or bucket of "blap" (the show's new term for slime) over the head (delivered to Omar and Donnie, respectively, by two other firemen). After Jessica explains that they don't do the messy stuff on every show, the fire captain ends up with a surprise pie in his own face, delivered by another fireman. | |

Product Displacement | |
| Wild and Crazy Kids / int_20952a1 | comment |
Product Displacement: Somebody really didn't like Nikko—several games involved destroying said company's remote-controlled cars, with said brand name edited out (rather poorly) via a black box that "floated" over it on-screen. | |

| Wild and Crazy Kids / int_318a8a83 | comment |
Initiation Ceremony: In the final season, the guest cast member had to participate in a messy stunt to earn his or her shirt, with the guest usually getting his or her revenge on the hosts in the closer. | |

Stuff Blowing Up: One or two games featured sandcastles being blown up; another game had kids pushing random plungers to blow up large balls filled with popcorn. | |

Pie in the Face | |
| Wild and Crazy Kids / int_41435fc2 | comment |
Pie in the Face: See "Food Fight" above, although that wasn't nearly the only time it was used. Another staple of the show was "Green Pie, Red Pie", which was a standard game of "Green Light, Red Light" where each contestant had a pie that they had to hit themselves with if they were eliminated. Also, some of the trademark pie devices used on other Woody Fraser shows such as What Would You Do? and Family Challenge made an appearance in this series as well, notably "Pie Roulette" (similar to the "Pie Face" board game, except, as on What Would You Do?, with the addition of a bucket of pie filling hanging overhead which could be dumped on a contestant). | |
