annoying.

Just took a shit

"Get outside and go play"


Outside: hurricane and 19 tornadoes

"Get outside and play."

5 year old me: "Billy and mandy sounds great right about now."

“Get outside and play”

lives in a bad neighborhood

"Get outside and go pl-"
*Switches to cartoon network*

CEO of Nickelodeon: *surprised pikachu face*

I hated this show as a kid, they kept playing the same episode over an over, and I had know idea who was talking to who!

Cartoon Network and Disney: Allow us to introduce ourselves

When this came up, for some reason this scared me because it gave me the Emergency Alert System vibe. So I hated it.

"World Wide Day of play!"
"Ah, I see"
Switches to CN

"Get outside and go play"


Outside: Screaming and gunshots in the distance

“Get outside and play!”

Bill Wurtz: The sun is a deadly lazer

I remember this being on while it was raining outside. "They make me feel bad for not going outside when it's raining wtf?"

"Get outside and play!"

Outside: 102° F, 100% humidity, and 0% cloud coverage

My ass thought playing outside for five minutes would negate this effect.

"Get Outside and go Play."


Me: turns on Wii.

me, enjoying the tv because i'm not allowed to go outside:

nick: so we're gonna do what's called a pro gamer move

Mom: “We have cartoons at home”
The cartoons at home:

Nick: "Go outside and play"
Me: Plugs GameCube

“Go outside and play”

No I don’t think I will

“Get outside and go pl-“

switches to Cartoon Network or Disney

When you are grounded for a month, and get to watch TV again and see this.

Nickelodeon: “we’ve temporarily gone off the air! Go outside and play with a friend!!”


Cartoon Network: why do we have a sudden influx of viewers today?

"What are you waiting for? GO OUTSIDE AND PLAYYYY!!!"


Outside: Giant flood

You’ve just unearthed a memory I’ve always wanted to forget

It’s crazy to think that we’re the last generation who’ll relate to this

I hated this. I just wanted to watch avatar the last airbender.

Nick: Go outside!
Outside: Its hurricane time
Me: But theres a hurricane
Nick: GO OUTSIDE!!

Nick: go outside and play.
Me: swims.
Me: a few moments later comes back inside.
Nick: we’re outside playing and you should be too.
Me: swiches to Boomerang

Nick guy: Nick is off the air, go outside..

Disney and Cartoon Network: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career

Nick: Go outside and play!

Me: mom where’s the remote

im literally filled with rage right now

"Get outside and go play!"
But the Coronavir-

I S A I D G E T O U T ! !

This was garbage, just like me as a kid.

now that i’m older i actually find it pretty cute, just trying to get kids to play. but my GOD when i was a kid this was the bane of my existence. i vividly remember crying for a solid 15 minutes when this came on

Nick: Go outside and play!

Also Nick: "Sits in studio doing nothing and laughing maniacally"

Stop..... You're giving me horrible flashbacks

Nick: Once you’ve played there will be more Nick later!
5 year old me: Ok. Goes outside for like an hour then comes back in
Nick: Go outside and play!
5 year old me: >:(

*This message will repeat until there is no one left to hear it*

Well, at least we don’t have to worry about that this year.

Nick: "Get outside and go play"
Me: outside
Zombie Horde: exists, coming toward me
Me: "This is fine."

Let's be honest here they just wanted a day off in the office

“Get outside and play.”

9 year old me: Foster’s home for imaginary friends seems great right now

"Go outside and play!"
Lives near crazy people

"Go Outside and Play"
Me: turns on Futurama I've got other plans.

“go outside and play”

a white FREE CANDY van appears

Nick 2019:
wait that’s illegal

Nick:GO PLAY FATTASS
That one kid in the bad neighborhood:Ummm there is a bunch of kids smoking weed and shooting each other with uzis

Never seen this before, but considering I grew up one of the few children in my area, with rising crime rates, drastically older siblings, and low tolerance for other children, seeing this would have been just plain cruel!

Admittedly I would easily play in the worst of weather, rain especially, but the risk of being kidnapped definitely puts a greater damper on outdoor activity for a child.

“Go outside and play”
Coronavirus, riots, and curfews:

More like, “Worldwide day of watching Cartoon Network”

Now they make it look so fun, but this is how soulless the whole event is lol

There was this one time when I got really mad when I saw this, so I thought I would protest the whole thing and I sat and just watched this screen for the entire 2 hours it would play. His voice his still stuck in my head after all these years.

"get outside and go play"






Gets mugged by neighbor

Nickelodeon: Go outside and play!
Me, a miami child which means its raining: Sad Miami noises

Whoever's idea this was should be doused in disappointment of kids

World Wide Day of changing the channel to something else

It’s funny that as kids playing outside was fun, but the minute this came on, nobody wanted to go outside.

Nick:
Worldwide day of play
Me:
More like time to watch Cartoon Network and Disney channel day

i actually appreciated this a bit when i was younger. made me want to take some time away from tech and go ride bikes with my brother or go swimming with friends

"go outside and play"


me: turns on nintendo switch

No one:

Not a single soul:


Nickelodeon: G E T O U T S I D E A N D P L A Y

I remember this so fondly, I was so persistent on not going outside I stared for like 20 minutes before just going to play the sims until it was over.

This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the man's condescending tone.

"Get outside and play!"
in a coronavirus lockdown

nick: go outside and play

me: watches the entire 12 hour danganronpa ultra despair girls playthrough

I remember being lucky enough to have a friend to play with, so this never really affected me much. Last time I saw her was last year. We were passing by my old neighborhood and shockingly, she never moved. It was an awkward, but exciting moment to see her after being away for 6.5 years. Got to see our old house too. It even had some things remaining from when we lived there. I miss those days.

I remember being sick and bedridden with this shit on

One time I just stared at it for 3 hours just to wait for it to come back.

Never heard of this but I'm glad I didn't suffer from it like everyone else. I'm so sorry for everyone who went to this kind of fate.

Is it weird that this would actually have slightly creeped me out as a kid? Just the complete lack of other audio and a black screen. It feels so off compared to just a written message on a more colorful background or something.

Plus, I was lucky and I played outside of my own accord every day as did a lot of people I bet are reading...they really didn't need to tell us twice and it does mock the kids who can't a bit imo lol

Me now, flowing with the crowd: Yeah this was real annoying.

Actual me during this time: Running around the backyard with my best friend

this is genuinely terrifying. this type of thing could be used to make emergency broadcasts even more unsettling than they are.

Nickelodean: "Get outside and go play!"
6 y/o me: "No, I don't think I will"

I remember, on was the exact same date as this recording, it was hot in hell. I live in ohio. I remembered it being hot and I looked it up and YUP it was hot. It was 88 degrees outside. I was an obese 4 year old. I also had asthma. I was also partially sick.

Nick basically wanted to me to torture myself for a day. I just took a nap for a good 2-3 hours at that point, honestly. I think I lost enough calories from sweating due to the 88 degree weather at the time.

and as someone else stated...imagine being in a wheelchair. Imagine being in the hospital and you just wanna turn on the TV and watch spongebob. Then, restricted to your bed or wheelchair, you see this and you're told to "go outside and play!!!"

GOD that is just....great job, nick. Great job.

As soon as I heard that dude’s voice I felt my childhood rage start to build up

I remember when this happened. I told my dad about it, expecting us to play catch or something. Instead, we did yard work and when I was done, I came back, and it was still on standby. So yeah, def not Nick’s best promo

I want to see a live stream of someone sitting through the whole thing

Nick: Hey, get outside, get active.

9 yr old me in with a leg cast: '_'

This gives me a distinct feeling of fear that I can't explain

I hated this so much. It only really affected me once because I was more of a CN fan at the time, but MAN did I hate this. Btw, this would be absolutely terrifying in an apocalypse scenario.

*When you're watch Nick and you go to the bathroom and this comes on*

Me: Ah, FU-

I remember this came on one year and I had a temper tantrum 💀 this shit was mad annoying

More like worldwide day of suffering

Ahh yes.....I remember this. That moment when nick was basically forcing you to go outside for about 3-5 hours.

I wanna laugh how when this block comes on the planned date, the weather is like, yeah let’s call in for rain today.

I want this on a 24 hour loop NOW!!

“Get outside and play”
Laughs In Quarentine

Somehow you’ve made this whole thing eerier

This was by far the greatest attempt any channel did to get kids to go outside

Imagine if everyone who watched this really went outside and then Nick just started playing their best cartoons while everyone was outside

"Get outside and play"
Tbh when this always aired i was at my dads and it influenced trauma. So this is part of it. Heck nick

am i the only one who sat in front of the tv the whole time and actually enjoyed the whole 3 hours

*gets chainsaw*
Worldwide day of play shouldn't exist

I remember going to my friend's house to play World at War and watch SpongeBob, but when our controllers died, we turned on Nick and this shit came on and we were so pissed lmao.

"Go outside and play!"

What if I'm naughty and...
play on my computer instead?

I remember reading about this incident in a town where a chemical plant or something started leaking toxic stuff into the air, so the emergency line told them to stay inside... While a Worldwide Day Of Play was happening on Nick.

i feel like this channel could turn into an ARG at any moment

You're giving early 2000's kid's PTSD Flashbacks...

I remembered when this happened. I was like “the hell just happened?”

These always seemed to happen when it was pouring down rain outside 😂

“Nickelodeon has gone off the air and is out to play. Which is where you should be.”

And they wonder why we’re so lazy now.

Me: sees this
Outside: Raining


Me: OH YEAH I'LL GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY KICK BALL OR SOMETHIN- B*TCH ITS FRICKIN RAININ

I'll never forget when nick invented going outside 🙏🙏🙏

“Get outside and go play” outside: hears rioting

Imagine you're sitting in your room, the weather is grey and cold and this comes up. Like come on, i wanna see some jimmy neutron, viacom.

Nick: go outside and play!
The weather:
B I G C H I L L !

I rememberone day I was lying on the couch watching cartoons to pass the time while I was sick and then this happened :(

One time I was stuck in the doctors for hours and this was all they had on with a loop of kids laughing

God I remember this day, it was so freaking dreadful.

Dude this brings me so many memories man I miss the old days

I don't know why but this one always gave and still gives me anxiety

Thankfully, during those dark times, Cartoon Network was always there to save the day

imagine the world ends and the only still working tv plays this on repeat

When Nick feels like they don't wanna do anything.

I remember, when this came on, I went to my backyard and ran around for a few minutes, and when I came back inside and it was still on, I was so annoyed like, "wtf, I did what you asked! Let me watch my spongebob already!!!"

It’s amazing they did this, but was this actually profitable?
Or was the world really nicer back then?

“World Wide Day of Play”
Nick’s Day Off

Nick: Go outside and play!

Me:Ok bet!

Also me: brings 360 outside

Nick: The little bastard.

Now kids can just stream Nick and don’t need this pain

I used to turn aS SOOn as I HeaRd "Nickelodeon's WorldWid-"

It was straight to Billy and Mandy

I remember this and I hated it. By now though looking back I love it!

"Oh man, I broke my leg and can't go outside to play with my friends. At least I get to watch Nick!"

I distinctly remember watching this cycle for a while because I knew I would probably never see it again

I remember discovering Cartoon Network's 'Fusionfall' because of this stupid thing... Damn good times.

I remember this came on, scared the shit out of me because it gave me that emergency alert system vibe. I tried to change the channel but it wasn’t changing or turning off. Now that I look back on it the remote might have just been out of battery so I put myself through the torture of listening to that loop for nothing...

bro i just want to watch my shows, not listen to this crap

Nickelodeon: Go Outside And Play!

Outside: RAINING HARD AS HELL!

I remember staring at this the whole entire wednesday

I remember this specific WorldWideDayofPlay was used as an excuse by my alcoholic father to scream at my sister and I for being lazy and wasting his and our time. So I'll be honest I have a deep seeded hatred for the World Wide Day of Play, especially 2008's.

Nick: Go outside and go play
Me: Brings the TV Outside and watches Nick
Nick: Wait, That's Illegal

Whats the pont of a tv channel: To play tv shows

Nickelodeon: T U R N I T O F F

"Go outside and play!"
Outside: PLEASE LET THE HOSTAGES GO AND NO ONE WILL GET HURT

Nickelodeon: It's worldwide day of play! Go outside!
Kids all across the world: SWITCHES TO A DIFFERENT CHANNEL
Nickelodeon: Wait, that's illegal

I always hated how condescending this man sounded. Sure, guilt ten year old me for not playing outside because,


1. her friends moved away
2. There's still literally nothing to do around here
3. There's no kids nearby and even if there was, they're just like me: inside all day playing video games and watching tv uninterested in socializing
4. Primary school was annoying enough, I didn't need to talk to more people


Does anyone disagree?

I guess I'll just bring my family outside while there's an earthquake, tornado, and a flood outside.


Because this guy told me to.

I just wanted to watch my god damn jimmy neutron.

who's the big brain that thought restricting their channel to repeat saying get outside and play for 7 hours was a excellent idea

Imagine if every TV channel did this at the same time.

Did you know that there was an emergency broadcast involving a nuclear meltdown while one of these was airing?

This was honestly such a cool thing for Nick to do but the one time I remember it happening I just started playing Lego Star Wars instead.

No I don't want to go outside, I want to watch more SpongeBob

i feel like i was the only kid that went outside 🤦🏻‍♀️

THIS MESSAGE WILL REPEAT UNTIL THERE ARE NONE LEFT TO READ IT.

My parents always forced me to go out and play when this was on, regardless of what other channels were airing

I THOUGHT CHALKZONE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME ON, NOT THIS "GET OUT" MESSAGE! XD

I want a twenty four hour live stream of this

I'm genuinely curious if anyone legit spent some time outside when told by this ad

My friend was once over at my house on this day, and I refused to change the channel. Everytime the guy would talk I would find it hilarious and my friend was just sad.

Them: Go outside
Me: Lives in the most polluted city in the country.

Interesting fact: During when this happened in 2012 in Salt Lake City, it was interrupted by an EAS warning alerting about a chemical spill and how there were chemicals in the air that could melt your skin off.

I personally do not believe this actually lasted 3 hours. It was the actuall whole ass day

I remember when this happend while my dad was outside pressure washing the house so I couldn’t go outside. Irritated the crap out of me

Still better than most of their live action sitcoms.

Nick: "Go outside and play!"

Disease outbreak outside: spreads

I wouldn't have minded it as much if they had done this in late October when it was only 60° at most (Now we're lucky to be 80°) rather than in summer with 106° and 70% humidity.

“Get outside and go play"

Outside: Hurricane Sandy

- me, 2014

"Get outside and play"

TTS Joey: Potatoes x10

I remember being so fucking pissed when this happened. Not only because of the tone of the dude's voice, but because I had no family to do anything with, just a stay at home grandfather and a grandmother who worked 20 hours each day, I had no friends as people hated me just for my appearance and the fact that I'm introverted, and my dog just died and the other ran away literally not long before this happened. After being mega angry for a while I kinda just took a really long nap while waiting for Nick to come back. Pretty shitty memory ngl

This is kinda like a message to get kids out and see that there's a nuclear apocalypse outside and seek shelter.

“Get Outside And Go Play!”

has no permission to go outside

"grab your dog"
me: sitting in an apartment, where animals arent allowed, and the only animal we have is a cat, who hates me

World since 1945: Go outside and play!

World in 2020: Nope nope nope nope nope

whenever this would happen i'd play a game on my phone

Hahaha imagine a kid staring at the screen like a dummy all day watching this

I remember this, it made me sad because I had no friends to play with and it was cold outside :/

I remember sitting for HOURS waiting for this to go away just so I could watch tv

"Go Outside And Play!"
5 minuets while the kids are playing
Nickelodeon: Launch Operation World Domination.

Nick: "Go play"
Wii with Mario Kart: I'm gonna stop you right there

this hurt me on another level
my tv was telling me i'm lazy
i felt betrayed

i was scared when i saw this and then my mom explained what it was, i went outside with my sisters and played with the other kids who just wanted to watch tv but came outside anyways

nick: go outside and play

outside: disease outbreak intensifies

"Get outside and go play"

Little kid me: Cool!

Me now: I live in the hood so no. * Looks at where all the DVDS are and picks three of them* Time to binge Avatar The Last Airbender!

Narrator: Hey, don't just sit there. It's Nickelodeons world wide day of play an entire day devoted to getting active. And to celebrate world wide day of play, Nickelodeon has gone off the air and is out to play. Which is where you should be. Tell your family, get your friends, grab your dog and do anything that gets you up and active. Ride a bike, kick a ball, do a dance, jump around. Once you've played, there'll be more Nick later, but until then, this message will keep repeating, and repeating, and repeating. Are you still there? Get outside and go play!
* bottom text appears *
Me at 7 years old: Ok i have options. A: i watch Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. B: I can just do what the thing says and get out side and stuff, but i cant let my dog out of the cage and there is no way im playing with that beast. hmm im just going to watch youtube.
Narrator: (insert same text here)
* bottom text appears *
Me: you're getting annoying stop.
* leaves TV on because is scared of being in living room alone *
Me: STOP!!!
* changes it to Cartoon Network *
Me: * doesnt even pay attention *
* hears Cartoon Network version of world wide day of play *
Me: ok what the heck
* changes it to Disney Channel *
Me: none of the good shows are on here right now. but im not watching it so i dont care.
* ends up watching it because it had been only other source of entertainment and had gotten bored of youtube *
Me: * checks time * NICE
* changes it to Nick Toons *
Me: Hey wait a minute, THEY HAD NICK TOONS NEUTRAL FOR THE ENTIRE DAY SAME WITH TEEN NICK WTH

Nick: Go outside and play!

Me: laughs in weeaboo

Dude...I was waiting that day to be done. Sadly, It happened next year. I mostly remember the one in 2011. I had a popsicle in my backyard with a really small pool. Those were the good days.

I remember this day exactly. I was 10 years old and had the flu and all i wanted to do was watch some nickelodeon. i couldn't go outside and play.

I remember when this used to happen my mom would take us to toys r us, those were the days

you cant make me exercise that's what gym is for in school.

Me: watching TV
Nick: CASUALLY APPROACH CHILD

The day this happened was the day I had my appendix removed so I always hold contempt for it due to the fact it felt mocking of me stuck in bed healing

I remember this, wanna know what happened that day during this time? There was a wildfire. There was no “day of play.” I still remember the Emergency broadcast system talking over the guy.

Not gonna lie if I was in a dark room this would scare me .-.

Me: Switches over to watch Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network: Teen Titans Go all day marathon

Also Me: Throws TV out the window

The true alpha chad kid was the one who got up early and watched the entire thing

remember that incident where this was playing on the T.V. at the same time as an emergency alert about a huge factory fire that was filling the air with harmful chemicals?

Idk but this for some reason scared me a bit when I was younger. But after a while I guess I got used to it, and instead of going outside, I just sat in front of the TV and watched the thing play.

"Get outside and play!"




Me: I've got other plans to do... If you know what I mean.
switches to Cartoon Network
CN: CN has now switched to Adult Swim
switches to all channels
me: Well, there are no more channels to watch, Disney Channel was plan 68, but Disney was kinda boring. Time for plan 69, and plan 70 will be washing my hands.
Also me: I'll be in my bed.
Everyone reading: HOLD UP

Wow how did you get these clips man also your an amazing person for this 😁

I remember one year when they did this there was a thunderstorm outside so I was like you really expect me to play outside on a day like this

I remember this shit. It's oddly nostalgic though.

Imagine it being the first day of summer and about to watch Nickelodeon and this comes on and tells you to go outside


Bruh

This shit plays
"Lemme just take out my laptop and play games there."

This pretty much predates minutes long loading screens as far as I know

"So get out and go play!"
Outside: Pandemic, tornadoes, hot weather, and filled with fire.

Cartoon Network during special days: Airs movies like Secret of NIMH and Tobey Maguire Spider-Man

Disney Channel during special days: Airs movies like Lion King and Toy Story

Nickelodeon during special days: this

This was the one day I actually wanted to watch tv and not go outside and jump around

I think it's a good idea but there is definitely some bad that can be fixed.
1. They shouldn't act like they are the only kids channel.
2. The Worldwide Day of Play could just be a screen bug or something or have commercials promoting it.

Every time I saw this, I really freaking hated it but I would always change to another channel though and it made me not less mad 😅

I remember a couple of times it was raining outside my house when they did this. Other times I'd just flip to Cartoon Network lmao

Remember when a "Stay in shelter" warning interrupted

Why did this exist oh my god

"Get outside and go play"



Outside: hurricanes, rain, thunder, and lightning

Nickelodeon: "go outside and play"
Me an introvert: "no thanks"

Me: fine. sits down in the grass and does nothing cause I cant go anywhere, there's no kids on my street, and is also getting bug bites galore and is cold.
Why do people insist I do this again?

Me and my cousin used to sit in front of the TV and try to recite this LMAO

In like 2011 I remember there was children laughter in the back round so no only would there be very akward moments of silence, I would also have been treated to children laughing. I say this is less creepy then that

As a 2010s kid, I'm feel good that I did not watch Nickelodeon

Nick: “Go outside and play!”

5 y/o me grabbing the remote: “No”

CN must’ve peaked in ratings on this day.

i was soo bored in class i zoned out repeating this in my head 4 days ago

I remember when i would turn the tv and see this. I would glare at the tv then out the window. "Bonus" points if it was a hundred degrees outside and nothing good on tv

"Go outside and go play!"


Lives on the top floor of a four story apartment.

I remember crying in front of the TV when this happened..

Nick: Go play outside
Outside: littered with polluted air

"Get outside and play"

8 year old Me: Nintendo ds sounds lovely

Nick: Do anything that is active
Me: Turns on Ds
Nick:...
Nick:Listen here you little

NICK: GET OUTSIDE YOU LITTLE SHIT

Me: How about no?

*Turns on PS2*

I remember once there was a really bad rain storm outside and nick is just like go outside and play!

[jellyfish jam music stops]

Nick: Go outside and play

Me (Living in an apartment with no yard): My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Nick: Go outside and play!
Pluto TV: Allow us to introduce ourselves

So this is what PTSD feels like

This was one of the worst days of the year growing up lol

Doctor: I’m sorry but you only have 6 hours left, son.

Kid: Ok... I guess I’ll watch some Spongebob..

*Turns on Nickelodeon*

Kid: (Dies)

OMG THE NOSTALGIA

Big brother and I: sees this

Big Brother: Nope changes to CN

Also remember seeing this another time and actually did try to play outside but was like "I'M BORED ALREADY, I WANNA WATCH MY ICARLY"

You are the most relatable channel on YouTube

"Get outside and go play!"

Me: Okay. grabs video games and laptop to play with outside

Nickelodeon: Go outside and mess around with siblings!

11 year old me: Opens the door starts raining hard as Hurricane Irene shows up.

11 year old me: Closes the door. And lays on the coach.

Man I bet for those few hours business was BOOMING for Cartoon Network and Disney

"Get outside and play."
Me, a lazy 10 year old introvert with not many friends: "No, I don't think I will."

Nickelodeon: “These kids will finally get some exercise!”
My lazy ass: “Cartoon Network it is”

I remember when Noggin was a thing and I switched to it and it was a room with the moose guy (forget his name sorry) coming in every 30 or so seconds to say "Come on, get out and play!" and I felt betrayed

"An entire day devoted to play! Go outside and play!"

As if.

I still can’t see why they can’t move this to the summer when all the kids are free from school and don’t wanna stay inside anyway

Imagine thinking that a network trying to get kids to exercise is bad

Viacom:
Comedy Central's Worldwide Day of Going to the Movies.
MTV's Worldwide Day of Sledding.

I remember one of these happening during a yard sale we were having. I guess that counts

I dont remember this but I'm literally filled with rage rn

I only had to go through this once. But it was still really aggravating.





So I just watched adventure Time lol

Imagine this be the one time you’re allowed on the tv and this pops up

I remember this.

Edit: I remember when nick would do this type of shit and i would just bypass the system by switching to CN until nick came back on because my little ass didn't care about the great outdoors.

Watch the ones either ahead or behind 3 hours. Still got Nick to watch.

Dude , one time this happened to me and I just stared at the tv for the longest time to realize that this was the most annoying thing ever. Keep in mind I was like 7 or something

I wish HBO did this but played the whole audio clip word for word

I remember this, in my area there was a hurricane going on. (I lived in the northern fringes of hurricane territory, so power and cable wasn't effected)

It was so annoying even when I was a little kid I'm like you can just go to other channels 😆

This made me want to climb through the tv to wring the calcium out of that guy's spine

I remember when I was always just like "Whatever, I'll just watch CN."

God
I hated this because I couldn't play outside most days and Nick was my favorite channel

Imagine if you were in a wheelchair while this was playing ._.

Nick: Get outside and go play!


Chucky: Allow me to introduce myself

Thing was, soon as I went outside and played, I didn't want to come back in.

2000skids? It still happens my guy

I remember coming every once in a while to see if something was om

I only ever saw the white background ones and as a kid they scared me, i cant imagine hearing this as a kid

I hated these. Like can I not wATCH SPONGEBOB IN PEACE?!

Every time this came on, it was literally pouring outside lmao

Oh God, I remember when they did that 3 years ago. We were dealing with a storm that was the remnants of Hurricane Matthew, (I think) and my pool overflowed due to the storm we were dealing with.

I like how it took 11 seconds for the guy to talk

I remember this shit, younger me just binged watched my Spongebob VHS and DVD collection plus the recordings I made of episodes from the airings that day in disappointment, I still have those sets for sentimental value of course.

Nickelodeon: Worldwide day of play
Me: Time for some Smash Bros.

I only encountered this message once and that was the day i first truely felt hate

Nickelodeon: "Go outside and play."


Me realizing that it still gets blazing hot outside in September and October, knowing I'll die if I do:

I had this happening to me while watching and remember seeing this when I was 3

Imagine if this happened during winter and you were snowed in.

Who else just went to a different station😂

I am the only one who used to find this kind of creepy?

I would just cry because I didn't have anyone to play with. Then I learned about video games :)

6 year old me used to get mad as shit at this 😂😂😂

SO I WASNT THE ONLY 3-YEAR OLD WHO GOT THE SHIT SCARED OUTTA THEM BY THIS.

No one is going to lose wait in one day if that’s what they’re after, otherwise, it’s just like saying, “go outside you lazy little shit”.

Nick: Go outside and play

Me: Cries in corner

My PS2 and Kingdom Hearts: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."

I'm just kidding I'm Canadian we didn't have this because we didn't have Nick until 2010. But still whenever there was a block of programming on YTV that I didn't like, the above line is relevant.

I remember seeing this trying to watch spongebob and I actually listened to a TV and went outside to play

Sees ad

Turns off tv and goes to play on DS

You're gonna have to try harder than that if you want me to go exercise

When I was a kid, I spent like hours on Noggin just watching Moose and Zee run in and run out.
I wanted something to happen, but nope, they just looped the same animation and the same message over and over again.

"Go outside and play"

Turns on Ps2 and plays Sonic Riders all day

I remember going to watch Nick (cause I don't very much anymore) and this was on! And I was just like "welp not doing this again"

Me as a kid:

*Aight, Ima Head Out*

Why am I watching this voluntarily, am I getting old?

Yeah that's soo annoying I remember I use to watch that screen for hours

I remember this, but this also reminds me of this Fruit Gushers promotional website and after like a single minute of playing the games it would tell you to go outside and not let you play


luckily, I was smart and refreshed the page until I got bored

I remember this in 2014 just looked a little more modern it was annoyin

I legit wanted to go outside and I woke my mom up and she whooped my ass when she woke up, but then I told her about the world day of play and she was like oh k LMAOOOOOO

Nick: go outside!
me: *has severe allergies to basically every plant outside*

Imagine they aired this during covid-19, that would be interesting.

One of Cyma's biggest mistakes....

It's funny how nick doesn't do this anymore

Imagine being sick with the flu and this came on, and you were too weak to pick up the remote to change the channel

Me when this popped up: Welp, back to watching Disney Channel...

Can we get a 24 hour version of this?

"Get outside and go play!"
I'll play when you let me WATCH SPONGEBOB ALREADY!

You know the GameCube was a great console.

I remember this and I just recall sitting there on the couch and saying to the TV in a annoyed tone I CAN'T GO OUT MY PARENTS ARE NOT HOME and then call my mom saying I cant watch tv cause of this

This angers me immensely.

One time I actually did go out and play and i nearly got bit by the neighbors dog.

Ew, exercise. Like I'm actually gonna do that

I refuse to believe that Cartoon Network did not do this to make everyone watch them

imagine airing this during a toxic gas leak in Florida

OH WAIT, THEY ALREADY DID

nickelodeon knew that you loved it so they gave you a break from the drugs



but it sure was annoying when there would originally be an entire 2 hours of spongebob

Even though I don't remember seeing this, this reminded me when I was watching K+ and my channel was interrupted with a text saying about Vo Nguyen Giap's death.

When the Worldwide Day of Play happened i'd immediately put on Cartoon Network because i knew damn well i wasn't going outside and Spongebob wasn't going to make me.

Imagine this ad playing right now in quarantine

I literally went outside on this day all day

This honestly was just to make them feel good about themselves, who In their right and childlike minds would go outside during either The Weekend and Summer vacation instead of staying at home and watching Tv. Plus they most likely knew what they were doing, Disney And Cartoon Network likely had their most boring shows on ( Disney Channel is just sitcoms at this point ) so all you did was either watch DVD/VCR tapes or fall asleep. I’m not trying to be bored I’m trying to watch my Danny Phantom, Fairly Odd Parents, and Jimmy Neutron. Not some lame excuse of going outside 😒.

Fine then. I'll just watch cartoon network instead.

I live in Hagerstown, Maryland. It was always raining whenever this shit would happen.

A voice actor somewhere got paid to do this.

Y'all don't know what annoying is until the Worldwide Day of Play is on your birthday.

Jokes on them this made people lazier years later by rewatching it on YouTube.

My poor ass couldn’t afford cable so I missed basically everything

I remember these and i just alway felt threatened and in danger

Sure, ill go play outside in the 100+ heat with a massive forest fire nearby (2011 intensifies)

"Get outside and play"

Me: lives in Chernobyl

"Hey, dont just sit there!" man my everything is broken so I have to sit here

Tbh, I think Nickelodeon should start doing this again. (Don’t @ me tho)

I wanna get a vcr and blank vhs, record it all, and send it to my friend. Good tv to all.

"Go outside and play"

Outside: covid

I freaking remember this! I think they changed the logo once it was done

When Nick thought kids still went outside

This reminds me of how I didn’t have Nickelodeon as a kid...

I Just Sit There And Hope That Nickelodeon Will Return!

Am I the only one who actually would go outside on that day?

What i would do if i saw this when it aired

1. Go play WWE toys
2. Go on my computer and play club penguin with my friends
3. Go on Cartoon Network

Every fracking time the message would start over my soul would jump out of me

Nick: go outside and play!

Me: laughs in over 60 recorded spongebob episodes

Would've participated when this wvent took place, but i had no friends to play with :(

Actually made me go out side because I was scared but when I look back on this.. this was really dumb

This used to make me cry as a kid

When nick wanted kids to actually
Play

"Get outside and play!"

Me: *Logs on to newgrounds to watch madness combat*

LMFAO I remember smacking the TV as a kid and being like “GIVE ME BACK MY SHOW!” while crying 😂😂💀

This would be the day that I would just switch to Cartoon Network and pretty much never looked back.

Imagine if they said that in 2020.

fun fact: The noggin/nick jr network actually had its own repeating video during the day too.

I would always just switch it to Cartoon Network or play my DSi lmao

This is is like when Cartoon Network is done for the day except you can’t stare at the adult swim bumpers while running to get the remote

It always bothers me all of the time, glad I didn't watch TV NOWADAYS

Ok ok ok I'll do a little dance






🕺 Is this good enough

Kinda scary when nick knows your there👀

i dont think this ever happened to me i only saw it one time on the screen like 2 years ago

If you have fios, you still have nick on the pacific time zone to watch while it’s going on. Check and mate.

Why do I remember seeing this more than one day a year?

Yes. I definitely remember this.

I remember when this would happen I would answer back and say NO
and then I would just stare at the TV because I wasn't gonna be beaten by this dumb commercial

Sounds like the perfect time to watch Phineas and Ferb!

Is it sad I actually went outside for this? Like it was perfect fall weather and I always made leaf piles the size of my tiny eight year old body. It was one of about 10 days in the year I played outside because I had very few friends and I didn’t want my classmates watching me play by myself

it never really annoyed me, I was pretty fine with it honestly
I would just switch to aanother channel anyway

then again I don't remember a lot about young me's experience with this. I don't think I saw this one exactly, probably in the late 2000's or early 2010's

I remember this during spring break they wod always play this during the afternoon lol

all i wanted was to watch my cartoons cause i had no friends to play with

This scares me because it looks like an EAS lol

0:44 did anybody get the emergency alert system vibes

I mean, I can’t fault them for it. They did it every year (I think they still do, not sure) to try and get kids to go outside and play with their friends. They did it with good intentions

This is the first time I've heard the whole message. I usually changed the channel before it finished

There's like a sight eeriness to this. Is it the vhs recording or because it reminds me too much of those Emergency Alert Broadcasts messages

I always hated that crap when I was a kid. Just let me watch my cartoons damn it!

I would have just gone outside and played with friends

WWDOP2020: "go out and play!"
Us in 2020:



Pretty sure we won't

Please don't tell me I'm the only one who remembers the version with Moose and Zee

Now the message is telling kids to play outside with their phones and tablets all day

They don’t still do this do they?

Whenever this would happen, i would either watch Cartoon Network or play some Double Dash. Screw going outside, especially if it was raining or 100+ degrees.

It was truly a bruh moment when this happens

The vcr noises are so scary doe😳

This just hit me hard

5 yr old me: Damn bro watching some Boomerang seems mighty fine rn

tbh this scared me more than made me active

When I saw this, I just got my 1 hour long tape of recorded Spongebob episodes and binged watched those.

Nick:Go outside and play
Kids in the hospital: 😐

I remember getting mad seeing this, and then I went On Demand to watch some stuff from Shark Week on Discovery Channel. Man, those were the days.

And that unfaithful day was the day my seedling of introvert truly grew all because of those damn books,

And that's when i Turned to cartoon network

This was so cursed omg. Turning on the TV to see this was scary.

I remember this one day, it was the Worldwide Day of Play, I just literally just waited until the time was finished just to watch Spongebob....and this was 9 or 10 years ago....

"I think I'll watch some Spongebob before I head out and play"

It's the worldwide day of pl-

"Well now I am not doing it"

I hated that day with a passion

I’m late but when I got this I sat inside while my family was out side and waited for it to start up again

I fucking hated this so goddamn much. Everytime this played, I thought, “you can’t tell me what to do dumb tv station”, and sometimes yelled it at the tv
Edit: thx for the heart

I never knew this existed.
But I think I saw one about 5 years ago...

I remember 8 yr old me getting all hyped up and shit to go watch spongebob until I see this on the screen .

ugh i rmr this... the one day my friends and i didn’t want to go play outside all day haha

omg i remember when this happened and i was literally not allowed to go outside because my dad and some relatives were working on the roof and it was not safe. i was yelling at the tv a lot that day

i fucking hated that, you just made me remember something I never wanted to remember

I'm gonna forget about that Pillow Pet's commercial being the most annoying shit I've ever heard in my goddam life.

This is terrifying in a way

whenever this came on, i got scared it was one of those government announcements.

Tbh I was one of those kids that actually went outside for like 20 mins and than just went to cartoon network

I like the idea but honestly they went about it the wrong way as an 11 year old at the time I was going to play outside anyway but not right after getting home

this made me upset when my mom wanted my siblings and i to do billy blake work out for 3 hours

Predators allow us to introduce ourselves

when I was 5 and younger before i started watching Cartoon Network i would get so mad when this came on and my parents told me to calm down and I couldn’t and ended up breaking an old pair of headphones, nobody cared cause it was old and nobody used it

I remember I actually went outside and played for a little bit but being an only child I was only outside for an hour then came back in and watched Cartoon network or disney channel.

this is how i discovered cartoon network and i was like YO CHOWDER IS PRETTY LIT

Just the voice alone made my ears bleed. The message was much much worse and I’ve been hospitalized:

"Go Outside and play."

Me: Turns on Wii and plays Michael Jackson The Experience

This seriously came on when Tropical Storm Irene hit my area, plus I was sick at that time.

This is where my anger issues began no joke.

nick:Get Outside
outside: 500 million tornados and freaking like 700 million thunderstorms
me:this is fine

Whenever I saw this I just opened up my DS. lmao

While I appreciate the sentiment, Disembodied Voice, I’m gonna have to say...No, I don’t think I will.

checks the other channels, sees nothing interesting, turns off TV in living room

And THIS is why I asked for a VCR/DVD combo and a SpongeBob TV for Christmas last year.

Goes Into Room, Watches SpongeBob VHS Tapes

"Go outside and play"

Turns on dvd player and watch thomas and friends

world wide day of play:

me: ight guess I’ll just watch Cartoon Network lol

Nick: plays the Worldwide Day of Play
Disney Channel and Cartoon Network: Allow us to introduce ourselves.

funny thing is that today this would never work because you can just go on youtube or play video games until it comes back on

They stopped doing this right lol. I remember one year when it was actually raining when they did it lol 🤣

Moose (Nick Jr's mascot at the time): Go outside and play!



4/5 year old me: Bud idk what kind of glitter you're breathing, but i wanna watch Robot and Monster and if you come back in this house im calling the police whips out fake flip phone

Nick: Get off your lazy ass and go play!

Me: You’re not my dad!

Every year this happens it was always pouring outside.

The cruel irony was evey year this happened i was in bed sick. And now i can quote that smug fuck in my sleep

Nick: We’re off the air, go outside and pla-

Me: changes it to cartoon network

"get outside and play"

me: watches recorded spongebob episodes

Nick: go outside to play and get active

Me:nah fam switches to Cartoon Network

Nick:(@-@)

This was when I would just flip over to Cartoon Network.

Yeah, this one was NOT my greatest day on a weekend to wait 3 HOURS TO WATCH A NICKELODEON SHOW! I know that part of their initiative was to get kids outside and play but if was bored from watching Cartoon Network or Disney Channel shows I go to Nickelodeon right away but once a year I see THIS!

It's nostalgic nonetheless don't get me wrong, but it's too annoying.😠

Thank God I don't have Nickelodeon right now, but I'm also sad at the same time because again Worldwide Day Of Play is once a year and Nickelodeon programming for the rest of the time is 24/7 364 days a year.😔

Bro I remember how annoying this was I came home from school, bout to eat kid cuisine for dinner and watch iCarly and this shit happened 😭😂😂😂let me tell you I was one mad child

THIS WAS SO ANNOYING AAAGHH I REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE SHOWING THE BOUNCY CASTLES AND I WAS SO JEALOUS OF THE KIDS THAT WERE THERE! I ALWAYS ASKED MY MOM IF WE CAN GO THERE BUT IT WAS A WEEKDAY EVERY TIME!!!

I only remember encountering this day twice. Or was it once. Anyways, I switched to Cartoon Network

This is when I would just go play Twilight Princess on the Wii

Me when I saw this "NO ONE CARES LET ME SEE SPONGEBOB PLEASE!"

Nick: Has worldwide day of play, waits until summer is over.
Kids just wanna watch spongebob on a saturday

Nick:*does this now*
Technology that everyone has: allow us to introduce ourselves

“Get outside and get active.”
Me knowing there is a tornado 4 miles away from my house: 🗿

Am I the only one that actually was motivated to go outside and not just go to boomerang and watch hero 108

this just brought back memories i wish i didn't have.

I miss this show

i watched the whole thing when i was young

Nick: get outside and play!
Me: aight Im bouta to head to CN

Every time this came on at least for me Cartoon Network would be playing the worst shows so basically my day was ruined

It was right at this moment when Cartoon Network’s ratings skyrocketed.

Nick: Get outside and play!

America: No, I don't think I will.

“go outside and play”
Outside: Your On Heat
Me: *slam the door*
Nick: Uhhhhhhh

The one time a tv message told me to get off my lazy ass and go outside

This made me very very pissed off!

They told me to go outside and play but it seemed like every year it would rain

Lmfao I think every kid just watched Cartoon Network that day

awkward silence


I remember this exact day in 2008, and when this came on, I switched to Toon Disney

I remember it was fucking pouring out and Nickelodeon was like:

My favorite day of the year

If I remember correctly they still do this

Thank god they don’t do that anymore

This is the time you realize that you need to switch to cartoon network

I used to just stare at the world wide day of play screen

Tbh this was the best back then cuz i actually went outside

I remember switching to Cartoon Network during this time

imma sit there watching this the entire time to rebel

This would be the time I tuned into Cartoon Network

When this came on when i was young i end up changing the channel to cartoon network and watch ed edd eddy and dextor's lab and other oldies. World wide day of play was annoying.

"Hey don't just sit there..."

Flips channel to Cartoon Network while eating junk food.

oh yeah, i almost suffocated inside a jumping house.

Nothing scares me,
But that,
It scares me.

this is why the great depression started


side note: This is not actually how the great depression began...

This sucked but now I miss it ;(

This was my favourite day. Everyone I hated got shot in the war.

I appreciate what they were trying to do, but I wanna watch SpongeBob!!!

The amount of money they lost that day...

When this happened it was raining and I just got out of a soccer game so I was pretty mad

I went outside, asked my white friend if he could hang outside. He was grounded so he had no choice but to stay home (he's allowed to watch TV and play Xbox which made no sense to me).

‘’Gets outside’’
Gets hit by a car and got Shrugged Lighting And gets hit by a freight train

I just realized if World Wide Day of Play causes nick to be off air for 3 hours, you could just switch to Nick West channel which is 3 hours behind (or if you live in West then watch Nick East)

But then I guess you would be rewatching stuff, but better than a black screen with a logo

I did when I was young😂

“get outside and play!”

outside where there’s a huge hail storm;

Surprisingly they don’t do this anymore, well, for no Cartoons for 3 Hours thing

6 yeat old me
has pop tarts and cereal ready to watch nick
turns tv on
the TV: Nick has gone off the air for a day so you can go outside!
also 6 year old me: fine, i guess ill go for plan B 
switches to cartoon network

i remember one time i watched the whole thing when i was five idk how tho

I’m actually gonna cry

That would scare me I don’t know why but that scared me...

Nick: WWDoP, useless Nick Jr. block in spite of there already being a channel, poorly treats new cartoons because they aren’t as popular as Spongebob, and tries too hard to be “cool”

Also Nick: Why do people prefer our competitors more?

This really pissed me off as a kid

I was home sick on one of these and it made me big mad

I remember watching this and GOD it just stupid how they just expect us to actually do that crap, i just went to disney channel and cartoon network and did nothing for the whole day.
Who actually went outside during world wide day of play since i went outside for a minute just to see who else is outside and nobody was outside during that day,
Great memories

I was at my sisters house when this happened again like 3 years ago

I wonder if they ever will break the chain.

God i remeber going to Disney XD or playing Borderlands 2 with my friends until that was over

Nickelodeon: puts on Worldwide Day of Play
Cartoon Network: puts on Worldwide Day of Play
Disney channel: puts on Worldwide Day of Play
Me: goes to watch Starz or play my GameCube, DS, or Wii

they should've never fucking made this a thing

I feel bad for the handicapped kids

that's when you put on CN, hell I played outside most the time anyways Nick really thought they did something

Nick: worldwide day of play!

Cartoon Network: it’s free real estate

Good News: They stopped doing this for the Worldwide Day of Play this year.

and this is why Thanos wiped out half of all living things in the universe

Seeing the area that I lived in this would never happen

oh no...




I’M I N H E L L A G A I N
(Seriously that annoyed me since I was a kid. I just wanted to watch some cartoons!)

For CEO Nickelodeon... blast it with jango fett's laser gun

Kid version of "the dawn is your enemy"

"This message will repeat until there are none to read it..."

What they thought we did: *running around, doing hopscotch, having fun on the playground nearby home.
Reality: Whats playing on Disney Channel right now?

Nobody:

Me on Nicks worldwide day of play: Ight bout to head out

Oh yeah, I saw a thing where on the day of play some like chemicals were in the air and they had to stay indoors

When your 8 years old and parents are at work and you have no friends and this is on and you just stare at the TV and keep eating your kix.

When this crap happened it was always on the days where there was either nothing good on or they had a Johnny test marathon on cartoon Network. I swear they pulled that shit on purpose

I remember wanting to watch a new episode of Power Rangers. All of the sudden, I see this Worldwide Day of Play block. I was upset that day.

Me: Time to watch som-
Nickelodeon: WoRlD wIdE dAy Of PlAy
Me: looks outside and sees an UFO shooting lasers and military tanks shooting at the ufo and also sees a hurricane and a tornado with lighting striking everywhere ........Ok sure

Wasn’t there an article saying that nick lost a ton of money because of this?

I also remember in the summer they would play Nick Jr for school hours when we didn't have school

nick: go outside and play
virus, forest fire, and metoerite appears

I just wanted to watch cartoons

This scared me as a kid

I remember it rained on the day of play and I was pissed.

thats right i've heard that message over and over again

being that outcast in school because you didn't play sports or other shit

When you trying to watch SpongeBob but it's world wide day of play day: NOOOOOO

Still better then the emoji movie

Nick: “Go Play!” Me: More Like Go To Hell & Die

...Or i can just go back to sleep 😂

This is the video version of anger itself

Meanwhile: Me and my silbings vibing to the chowder theme song

just let me watch my life slip away will ya

I tried to watch Noggin one day when I was like 7 and all I see is Moose A. Moose and Zee jogging and telling me to gtf outside and do shit💀🤦🏽‍♂️

"Man I'm playing Mario Sunshine"

I remember my stupid cable provider said Spongebob was on but it was actually this bullshit

Honestly, i pouted at the fact of no spongebob and went on cartoon network to watch more Tom and Jerry.

I took my lazy self to Cartoon Network.
WHO'S WITH ME?

They thought this would make me active lmfao nope I just hopped on Smash Bros Brawl

Get outside and play!
Outside: raining cats and dogs

I hated when they wanted us to be healthy

Didn't they use this as a cover to switch all of Nickelodeon's branding to the current style in the late 2000s? I remember seeing it, and switching to Cartoon Network.

I love how everybody’s there like pshhh I just watched Cartoon Network. Sis once my parents heard dat they were like child you have a bike go and use it . Worldwide day of suffering. Wow I swear for as much as these US things say worldwide and leave out the Caribbean most times this thing really was unfortunately worldwide.

Bruh it was taking actually for 6 hours and then they turned back to normal it was annoying af

Me: not watching your channel often

Also me: trying to find a video that has the dojo on club penguin

Some place : *doomsday happening while this is playing *

Thank god I didn’t have cable in 2008 lol

what if the kid was hospital bound not able to get out of bed and they saw this

Get outside and play!
Me: Takes GBA SP And goes outside to play some Super Mario advance.

this was just there way of saying "We're too fucking lazy to do shit right. we don't give a shit"

Oh my god, i remember this

This happened to me holy....

Nick: kids will play outside

Kids: ugh change it to Cartoon Network

Nickelodeon: Worldwide Day of Play
Me: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.

thank god phineas and ferb was doing an all day special on this day

It was always raining when this day happened lol

They’re trying, they’re trying

It always seemed like Cartoon Network played the shittiest shows whenever Nick had this going

When you want to watch Spongebob but this is on:
WHY CANT I WATCH SPONGEBUB

This message plays:


me: oh sure (watches something on another channel).

Good thing there was CN and Disney to watch ;)

I’m bit more of the later gen Z, if nothing good was on for nick, Cartoon Network, or Disney, there was always xfinity on demand, the Wii, and my DS.

Looks like we meet again 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Am I the only one who actually did go outside and play when this came on?

Me, 8 years old, eating a peanut butter sandwich with tomato soup at the dinning room table while looking at this on the TV: hm

I REMEMBER THIS SHIT

I remember this
I remember hating it then
I still hate it now
How dare you remind me of this abomination

Yeah, Smash bros sounds good right about now.

I remember when this happend
i would just switch to Cartoon Network.

gotta give them credits they just want you to touch grass :D

Do they even still do this instead of last year, did they do it in 2019

More like worldwide day of crying in my wheelchair

This is why I started watching cartoon network

I never had to deal with this isusse since i would just watch his tapes of my favorite shows i recorded

Nick, there a thing called DVD players, laptops, Wii’s, 360s, iPods








you can’t stop us fool

Lol I remember this I just switched to cartoon network that day

when this person gets their play button..

It rained every time this came on, so even if I wanted to go play outside I couldnt go and play so I was just stuck in the house waiting for my cartoons to come back.

This happens
Me: wonder what’s on boomerang?

no, i dont wanna play i wanna watch tv.

how many kids actually went outside during this bc i know my baby ass just switched to cartoon network

I hated when they did this on days where there was a thunder storm. It's like a slap in the face

Yea this shit right here always pissed me off

Laughs in Uruguayan, with no World-wide Day of Play

What if you just came inside from playing and this comes on........

it was like a hour in a half when it finally stopped airing.

omg i hated that

This didnt get me to go outside i just turn on my video games when ever this happened

I couldn’t watch spongebob and it was a TRAGEDY but Hannah Montana was there for me

I REMEMBER THIS

You fools, you could’ve just switched to CN.

i remember this shit. i just wanted to watch fucking spongebob.

Nickelodeon: shuts down everything so kids go out and play

Me as a kid: oh boy cartoon network is showing foster’s home

Nick: Get Out Side And Play!
Me; Nah Im Playin Games On Me Computer

It's Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play: More like Worldwide day of watch some other channel
Turn off your TV: Turns the channel to Disney or put on a movie
Go outside: Don't let mom find out, or she'll make us go outside
And get moving: Don't tell me what to do
We'll be back at three: A few more hours until our favorite channels are back

Remember when there was a fire and this shit caused kids to be completely unaware of it?

this is my favorite youtube channel

lol I remember this, I booted up my crappy pc and that's when I started to game. Yeah I started gaming when I was 9, problem???

Imagine: You see this on Nick, then go on Cartoon Network and all you see is TTG for the remainder of the day.

I remember when one of these came on one year and it came on my birthday

Me: Alright then.
Changes to Cartoon Network and dances to the Teen Titans theme

I never watched Nickelodeon ever again after this came on now I watch CN

The world wide day of play bugged me sooo much b/c I just wanted to watch tv

When this happened, Cartoon network puts on shitty movies

That's when I turn the GameCube on

Ugh since Nick is so involved in current causes and trends its so annoying

I’ll exercise on my own time don’t emphasize it so much.

Cartoon Network is just real. It’s not at all involved in any causes all that much or pick up on any kind of trends, only the shows sometimes. CN isn’t just like HASHTAG SAVE THE FOREST AND EXERCIZE FELLOW KIDS WE BE FLEXIN JOHN CENA

This, kids, is called “Cartoon Network day.”

Omg no the torture!! This brought back some crazy memories

in a nutshell


hey kids nick don't care go outside

Everybody knows when this happened, we all went over to Cartoon Network. They had better cartoons anyway.

i didn’t leave my damn house i lived in pontiac back then

I was mostly watching CN and playing games on Armor Games at that point.

OMFG NOOOOOOO,THIS FOR ME WAS SO FRICKING ANNOYING! (-_-)
still don't understand why that was a thing when I was small

Also, if it's Worldwide Day of Play, you can just watch demand if you want to watch Nick. So,






WHAT'S THE POINT OF DAY OF PLAY?

Starts channelsurfing and wanders onto the playboy channel

Alright, time for some Smash Bros., Pokemon Sword and Shield, Astral Chain, Dragon Quest XI S, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, a whole lot of stay at home things alongside junk food.

This is ominous...

This: exists
Me: Cartoon Network is lookin real good right now

I always HATED this as a kid

Luckily I was more of a Cartoon Network kid and I didn't have to deal with this bullshit when I was kid

If I’m watching tv I don’t want to go outside stop trying to make me healthy nick

I switched to Cartoon Network and there still wasn’t anything I liked :(
Disney was the same, so I just didn’t do anything

I always hated the world wide day of play when I was trying to watch spongebob

me: switches to cartoon network then goes onto my pc and looks at people taking a shit

Me: turns channel before they could say anything
Mom: TURN IT BACK ON

...thank God I was only born for 3 months back then

Nick:Go outside and Play!!

It's raining..

That was a real thing?

Fuck that! I'm gonna switch to Cartoon Network and watch some Pokemon!

Hell: has come to earth
Nickelodeon: go outside and play

Did they realize they lost money on this day?

Once I was watching nickoledion, then a news channel did connect to wrong channel (nickoledion), I was so confused, but after a sec, they apologized and cut the connection lmao

Gosh, this was so annoying way back when.

god I remember that.

ok I’ll go outside..

goes to the arcade

and it seems to still go on today...

Nick: Yeah let's shut off Nick for this useless event.

DVDs
VHS's
Blu-Rays
LaserDiscs: Together we are the Power Rangers

Literally everyone: Thanks, Power Rangers!

This is when I stopped watching SpongeBob and went to Adventure Time uwu

I remember this and just not going outside

im not allowed to go outside. This video mocks me.

I switched my ass to Disney XD

"Get outside and go play"
Me: Don't Fucking Tell me what to do, Worldwide Day of Play for you means you'll go and play, but to me it means Let's watch Cartoon Network instead

Gee, I have to go outside and play?! NOPE! switches to Cartoon Network

Nickelodeon: Go outside and play.

COVID-19: STAY YOUR ASS HOME!!!!!

Imagine if it was raining that day in your area

Nick: Today is the Worldwide Day of Play!


Me: Switches to Disney Channel

When this happened I would just watch Disney channel or Cartoon Network

”Get outside and go play!”
15-year-old Me: Nah fam u ruined me tryin to watch spongebob

“Go outside and play”




DUDE ITS 2020 WHY YOU RECOMMENDING ME THIS? IM NOT APPROVING

"Hey it's world wide day of play get out! and go pla-"

Little me: switches to disney channel Ooh! Wizards of waverly place is on!

Nick:it the world wide day of Play
8 year old me:*plays Zelda or Sonic*

this made me wanna commit not alive when i was younger

This happens when I was one year old.

I was pissed I just wanted to watch Spongebob

Am I the only one questioning the fact that he doesn't have a name?....

mfw bedridden on World Wide Day of Play

"Hey, don't just sit there! It's Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Pla-"
switches to Cartoon Network
Teen Titans theme plays
Me: You can't stop me fools! I'm allowed to watch whatever I want!

Nick: are you still there?
Me: * watching Phineas and Ferb *

This message will keep repeating and repeating and repeating
I went insane 2 hours after that

Meanwhile there’s a literal flood outside

*“Get outside and play”

Switches to CN

We all know that message was hopeless.

Nickelodeon's World Wide Day of JOHN CENA!!!

Back when this was on we had some good youtube videos then, like Fred, nigahiga, annoying orange was just starting, young ass markiplyler and PewDiePie, back when rebbecca black and the Numa Numa guy were really popular too.

Kids in the hospital: oh. Guess no Sponge Bob today... Okay...

🎵I know of a place where you never get harmed~
A magical place with magical charms~

Indoors
InDOOOORS~
IiiiiiiiiIIIIIINDOOOOORS~

Take it away, penny!

This always scared me. I hated it. It's so stupid.

And that’s why I stopped watching Nickelodeon for 7 years

Nickelodeon: It’s the Worldwide Day of Play! Go outside!

Me when I switch to CN: I Just Broke The Game.

Omg I remember this lol I was mad

Why is it kinda scary when the person know that your there

I remember this, it was while it was raining -_-

I found this kinda creepy..

literally every fucking time this shit would come on it would be storming like a motherfucker

yea im sure going outside today id rather spy on these clowns writing dumb graffiti than go outside and possibly get attacked by them cuz they seem aggressive

Cartoon Network doesn't have a day of play, I'm good.

Nickelodeon: go outside and play
Me: I can’t is pouring outside

Nick:
Outside: record tropical storm
Me: :(

*Immediately pulls out my phone*

Nick's worldwide day of John Cena

This shit pissed me off. Luckily, when the east coast nick was playing this message, I just switched it to the west coast nick and kept watching spongebob for a few more hours

HISSS I thought I killed this memory, but the algorithm brought it back!

Does anyone have the Noggin version of this? (That's the version I specifically remember)

Did they have to make it so creepy?

7 year old me: COME ON I JUST WANT TO WATCH SPONGEBOB


EDIT: okay so one time me and my family were in the basement because there was a tornado warning in our town. We turned on the tv because the power wasn't out. To keep my little sister entertained, they turned on nickelodeon and this was on.

Bruh on my world wide day of play it was raining like crazy

Nick West: it's rewind time

That's when you go to Cartoon Network

"Go outside and play"
plays ds

I remember sense I couldn’t watch what ever show I wanted i just played Star Fox on my N64

Nickelodeon : Get outside and p-

Me: turns on spongebob on demand

Nickelodeon: NANI?

Nickelodeon: It's World Wide Day of Play! Get up and go outside!
Me: Watches a VHS/Betamax/Laserdisc or plays SNES or N64 or Nintendo Switch or Sega Genesis


I can go outside anytime

Go outside and play!

20 pedophiles right outside my door...

"Welcome to the day of play! At this time nickolodeon will be off the air! So go outsi-" switches to cartoon network

There was legit a thunderstorm when this was on

When this happen I switch to Cartoon Network or my PS4 LMFAOO

“Get outside and play

Outside “raining”

Bold of you to assume i have friends

I just flipped to Cartoon Network when this came on.

hell no i don't pay for cable just to be told not to use it

Omg I remember getting so pissed when this was on, I just wanted to watch my fucking spongebob

I would play gta vice city an san Andreas until the cartoons came back on

Oh my gosh you people never understand how much that Worldwide Day of Play vs makes me want to punch something. As a child I did not like Disney at all ,due to current events I still do not like Disney. so I would always switch on to Nick since I found Cartoon Network pretty boring.... and I would always forget about the stupid Worldwide Day of Play and I would get that message! and it would creep me out cuz I just imagined some guy peeping into my TV passive-aggressively yelling at me to get my fat ass out and playing. and I felt bad cuz I couldn't go outside and I was mad every year because after all the hype they gave it was Diana videos holy dealer shut down their servers and yell at you with the repeat recording every 10 minutes so I forget that Nick has other branches and would try to go on to other channels like Nicktoons, TeenNick, or maybe even Nick Junior, all of them wouldn't work, so I have to go back to watching Disney. and try do not cry at how bad Austin Ally was I swear. I cannot stand the Worldwide Day of Play, I think it should end it's and it's not even worldwide, cuz Nick it doesn't work in all countries. So stop please stop. I hate this day I hate that message oh gosh

be me
12 years old
its raining outside
parents are on the computers
looks at cable guide
apparently theres spongebob on until 10:00 PM
my lucky day
selects it
THIS SHIT APPEARS

I just switched to cartoon network when they did that xD

oh god this pissed me off so much, my queue to go to cartoon network

WAIT REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE SHUTTING DOWN NICK AND EVERYTHING??? AND THEY MADE YOU TEXT TO SAVE THE CHANNEL AND HAD THAT COMMERCIAL WITH THE CHARACTERS CRYING AND BEGGING YOU TO TEXT??? EHIEKS MAKE A VIDEO ON THAT BRO

What if Nick and Cartoon Network both had worldwide day of plays at the same time

It was raining most of the time when this happened

Weird marketing strategy Nick. Weird marketing strategy...

Omg when this played I would switch to Cartoon Network or Disney channel

Basically I would just watch cartoon Network and Disney channel instead

I turned off the tv and played with my dolls-

Took me forever to find your YouTube channel

This was always annoying.
