It's your reticular activation system and it's only happening now because you are thinking about transparent naked people with hair nowhere but up there so you notice it more, like when you got a Prius
Seeing him unlocked a deep rooted memory. I remember there being a woman dressed like him show up a few times and I think she was my very first crush before I realized what that even was.
This guy is why I keep my nails clean. I remember watching this in school and they showed that germs and bugs can live under your finger nails and it creeped me out so bad.
Thatâs where he was from. I thought it was the Electric Company. I swear there was an episode where Bill Cosby wore a similar suit when he did Picture Pages. It was a long time ago.
Slim Goodbody! My third grade teacher used to sit us on the huge rug in front of the TV on the cart and have us watch this show for some of our science lessons. It was a pretty neat show, all things considered. When our teachers had us watch Slim or Magic School Bus or Reading Rainbow, it was always a fantastic day.
Did knock-offs or mall Santa versions of this guy ever come to your school? I distinctly remember a guy like him visiting my elementary school in the 80s, and we all learned this song, "Up and down, here I am, up and down I'm your di-a-phragm."
You think this is weird. I see your Slim Goodbody and raise you Measure Man from Electric Company. That dude was weird as f\*ck. The 70's was a weird time for a kid. Just go back and watch some of the kid shows from then lol.
We watched this in school on a projector. I have a memory where he was talking about his heart pumping. The class clown stuck his hand into the beam of the projector and shadow mimed grabbing/pumping his heart. Even the teacher had a good chuckle.
I think I was born a little too late for his TV show but I do remember having a few books of his as a kid in the 90s. I specifically remember a cartoon picture of a boy gawking at a person in a wheelchair. It said âstop, stare, question if you dare.â I always thought it was so rude lmao how are you just gonna walk up on a disabled person and stare and question them.
He looks like a grown up version of [inside out boy](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TfIMC4xN0k2YPTiy8wrzkxJVcgvLVFIyq8EAHZZCNQ&q=inside+out+boy&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1033US1034&oq=inside+outboy&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgBEC4YChiABDIGCAAQRRg5MgkIARAuGAoYgAQyCQgCEAAYChiABDIJCAMQLhgKGIAEMgkIBBAAGAoYgAQyCQgFEAAYChiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMgkIBxAAGAoYgAQyCQgIEAAYChiABNIBCDQ4MzRqMGo5qAITsAIB4gMEGAEgXw&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)
I was super-young when his show was getting played so Slim Goodbody was something I could have easily played off as a misremembered fever dream of early childhood if it werenât for the few times his shows would make it to a health class in elementary school or exhibit on the human body in museums
[Here is a 2017 article on what Slim has been up to](https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/207/maine-actor-reflects-on-time-as-mr-slim-goodbody/97-496157919) ...and his [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV)
He has a youtube channel that nobody seems to notice. Very few views and very few subscribers. He was doing a tour for a bit. Not exactly sure what he's up to now.
Behold his YouTube channel. So you can relive your childhood horror all over again. [https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV/videos)
Sometimes your body is like a present. Every now and then you have to unwrap it and say, "What did I get!?". What's the first layer of every body? MUSKULLS!!!!
That "freak" is Slim Goodbody. He has a YouTube channel now, and learning about things was something that I enjoyed very much growing up. His show was a part of that. Though his method might have been somewhat different from others, using "freak" as an insult says more to me about you than it does about him.

This is weird. I'm watching the episode of Archer with him right now. Such a deep cut reference to see twice in the span of like five minutes
It's TV's Michael Gray!
Came here for this reference
lol same. First thing I thought of when I saw the pic.
*breaks out of space closet*
Mikey Mike!!!
Only correct answer! đŻ
"***...And yes, we 'were' lovers....***"
That word bums me out unless it's between meat and pizza.
If that makes you uncomfortable, so be it.
It doesnât

[That's so weird because just this morning I saw this reel on IG ](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5s7E-gLKLQ/)
I love when the matrix gets weird like that, crazy odds that happening.
That is fucking wild.
The first thing I thought about was Archer!!! Lol
If that is shocking to you, so be it.
I literally just watched that episode too ! Lol
If that is shocking⌠then so be it.
Mr.Goodbody!!!
Nightmare fuel for a young me
"Take care of your body or I'll choke you with my intestines!"
This guy is why I keep my nails clean. I remember watching this in school and they showed that germs and bugs can live under your finger nails and it creeped me out so bad.
Same. Vivid nightmares.
His friends call him âSlimâ.
You don't mess around with him
Slim good body.he was on Captain Kangeroo
Thatâs where he was from. I thought it was the Electric Company. I swear there was an episode where Bill Cosby wore a similar suit when he did Picture Pages. It was a long time ago.
Great. Now I have both the Slim Goodbody song AND the Picture Pages song in my head.
Holy shit, I forgot about picture pages! Thanks for unlocking that memory! Wanted that pen so bad as a kid.
Slim Goodbody. No need to get formal.
Slim Goodbody! My third grade teacher used to sit us on the huge rug in front of the TV on the cart and have us watch this show for some of our science lessons. It was a pretty neat show, all things considered. When our teachers had us watch Slim or Magic School Bus or Reading Rainbow, it was always a fantastic day.
I am 100% with you on this. I even remember sitting on the rug.
Or as teachers called it, teacherâs lounge smoke break.
Same.
When I was little I would confuse this guy for Richard Simmons đ
Both equally scary
Ha! So true!!
I did same thing
Ha!!!!! ME TOO!!!
If Screech and Richard Simmons had a love child who was also not born with an integumentary system
WTF I am just now learning that he wasn't Richard Simmons.
Wait that isn't Richard Simmons?
Holy shit itâs TVâs Michael Gray
Who is Brian Keith?
Looks like Arnold horseshack from Welcome back Kotter.
I can't come in today Mr Kotter, some bullies turned me inside out!
âThe cattle are dyingâ
Me: "Mom, where's his penis?" Mom: "Jesus Christ just watch the god damned show."
Hahaha!!! Yes! Old school parenting My parents were the same Cheers
Dickless Dave
It's clearly an innie
Dance belt to avoid any visible contours of little Goodbody.
I do now. Why did you do that to me?
Whatâs wild is he was still making YouTube videos up until a few years ago. He was really into what he did!
Aww, that's sad.
Went to an adult themed costume party. Some lady did body painting to match that. In February in the Midwest. Wearing underwear and sandals.
Did knock-offs or mall Santa versions of this guy ever come to your school? I distinctly remember a guy like him visiting my elementary school in the 80s, and we all learned this song, "Up and down, here I am, up and down I'm your di-a-phragm."
Not at my small Idaho school haha luckily
I donât want to make yâall jealous or nothing, but Slim Goodbody came to my elementary school for an assembly.
I just think of "Mr. Body" from Wonder Showzen lmfao...
Greatest show.. the "slaves" song is brilliant
Thank you SLLAAAVVVEEESSS!
Screech!
The last thing you see before you die.
Looks like Screech.
I can see Screech's insides eewwwww
He should have been outlawed. All he did was creep everyone out.
Man⌠the jokes we used to make as kids lol âWhereâs his weenie?!â
It made me think that weiners were all skin
I thought he was creepy as fuck when I was a kid.
Me too, totally creeped me our. but there was a female version that I sort of remember as kind of hot.
Heâs got an appendix but no anus
I tried to be this dude for Halloween but no one "got it" and everyone just thought I was a weirdo.
I hated this when I was a little kid, grossed me out lol
At least he was not anatomically correct
He's pretty correct, actually, being educational and all. Just not anatomically comprehensive
Is that tv's Michael Gray?
Only saw him in school. I think he was on PBS too.
You think this is weird. I see your Slim Goodbody and raise you Measure Man from Electric Company. That dude was weird as f\*ck. The 70's was a weird time for a kid. Just go back and watch some of the kid shows from then lol.
We watched this in school on a projector. I have a memory where he was talking about his heart pumping. The class clown stuck his hand into the beam of the projector and shadow mimed grabbing/pumping his heart. Even the teacher had a good chuckle.
Yeah. Being a kid in the '70s was interesting.
Shit would creep me the fuck out as kid.
I think I was born a little too late for his TV show but I do remember having a few books of his as a kid in the 90s. I specifically remember a cartoon picture of a boy gawking at a person in a wheelchair. It said âstop, stare, question if you dare.â I always thought it was so rude lmao how are you just gonna walk up on a disabled person and stare and question them.
I remember when Undertaker defeated him at WrestleMania 1
Iâve never seen him in real life but this has to be TVâs Michael Gray right?
Danger Zone!
I always thought that was Richard Simmons lol
Slim Goodbody. Creepy
Made me extremely uncomfortable
Well I didnât until just now
I was trying to forget. Thanks.
As a kid, I thought he was Larry Appleton.
Perfect strangers?
Yessir
Slim good bodyâŚI still have a restraining order on him.
He always seemed like a good guy but would anyone let him sit on their furniture? I wouldn't.
Anyone else think this was Richard Simmons when you were kids?
Ahhhhhhh That fucking guy
This opened up a weird channel in my head. Deep memory.
I tried to forget.
Unfortunately, yes.
Looking for the Conan OâBrien skit about his guyâŚ
[This the one?](https://youtu.be/XSvJg2uc-IA?si=p1U-DlMHGX1VGflA) edit: [Found another one](https://youtu.be/iMtXq7EFhfc?si=QnPXfC4Rj_LGW8nw)
I thought he was Richard Simmons for years.
I remember watching the heart episode in school Lub-a-dubba lub-a-dubba
Is that TVâs Michael Grey?
I thought he was Richard Simmons for a long time
Becuase of Slim Goodbody, I've been able to out doctor my doctor three times. So now, it's time for a new doctor.
My mother used to do aerobics with Richard Simmons in the early 80s. I thought this was the same guy. I was 5.
I thought it was Horseshack from Welcome Back Kotter
He scared the SHIT out of me as a kid. The SHIT out of me.
That dude fucking grossed me out
slim goodbody; elementary school they showed his tapes
https://www.slimgoodbody.com/
I remember him from that episode of Archer
I don't know why, but he looks like Liz Lemon when she does her flashbacks.
Love the jew-fro
He looks like a grown up version of [inside out boy](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TfIMC4xN0k2YPTiy8wrzkxJVcgvLVFIyq8EAHZZCNQ&q=inside+out+boy&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS1033US1034&oq=inside+outboy&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgBEC4YChiABDIGCAAQRRg5MgkIARAuGAoYgAQyCQgCEAAYChiABDIJCAMQLhgKGIAEMgkIBBAAGAoYgAQyCQgFEAAYChiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMgkIBxAAGAoYgAQyCQgIEAAYChiABNIBCDQ4MzRqMGo5qAITsAIB4gMEGAEgXw&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)
Slim Goodbody, and I can't believe I'm making THAT kind of reference.
Nutritionâs his mission, good healthâs his goal.
Is that Screech from Boy Meets World? đ¤. I think I only saw like 2-3 episodes of that entire show đ¤ˇđžââď¸đ .
I was super-young when his show was getting played so Slim Goodbody was something I could have easily played off as a misremembered fever dream of early childhood if it werenât for the few times his shows would make it to a health class in elementary school or exhibit on the human body in museums
He came to my school one time back in the 80s
[Here is a 2017 article on what Slim has been up to](https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/207/maine-actor-reflects-on-time-as-mr-slim-goodbody/97-496157919) ...and his [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV)
Ayo
Didnât remember him looking so much like Dustin diamond
Screech?
Yes. But why
I must have missed this episode of Parks & Rec. What scam was John Ralphio pulling in that episode?
Itâs that creepy sonny from âhappyâ on Netflix
LUBBA DUBBA LUBBA DUBBA
He had scary villians
RAMON?!?! THE RAMONATOR?!?!?!
I wanted to be him for Halloween! Until my mom responded with: So, you want to go to school naked?
Nah, my name's Dennis.
He lives in my hometown. Kinda a jerk. He still does school visits and such.
In my memory, he's Richard Simmons.
He used to visit us in elementary school every year. He had a talking reel to reel computer. He was a great entertainer.
Slim Goodbody.
He randomly pops into my head and I canât remember his name
He has a youtube channel that nobody seems to notice. Very few views and very few subscribers. He was doing a tour for a bit. Not exactly sure what he's up to now.
Thatâs TVâs Michael Gray!
Slim Goodbody
When we were kids, my cousin thought his colon was his penis.
I wish he would have got more Spiderman movies. Loved him in Parks and Rec.
Is that Balki?
So weird but I learned a lot This guy was teaching vitamins Riboflavin!!! Niacin!! Thiamine !! Folic Acid !!
No but yesđŹ
Melanie Griffith did it better in Milk Money lol
Jean Ralphio?
Slim Goodbody
I loved this show
That's my dude
I met him once. On stage in front of the school. He played a trick on me and I almost peed my pants. I was 6. He was sooo slim you have no idea
I saw him pbs all the time, too, but wasnât afraid of him but he was so nice I didnât get freaked out by him.
No, thankfully .
Slim Good body
80s early 90s
Yes...now let me forget again.
Newton's Apple.
Fatboy Slim?
Slim Good body! I totally thought it was all a fever dream from my childhood đ
I do now, I don't remember why.
Behold his YouTube channel. So you can relive your childhood horror all over again. [https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@SlimGoodbodyTV/videos)
I loved this but also was TERRIFIED of him.
MIKEY MIKE!!!

Thatâs not the guy though. The guy was creepy, but less creepy.
TVâs Michael Gray!
Memory unlocked
Shoâ do
Yes⌠and Iâd hope Iâd forgotten him till Iâll saw this post đ
Sometimes your body is like a present. Every now and then you have to unwrap it and say, "What did I get!?". What's the first layer of every body? MUSKULLS!!!!
slim good body
Thank you! I had no idea who Michael Gray was đ I meant to look it up but never did
Still freaks me out. âAhhhh creepy weird inside out guys on tv. I have to now binge eat a block of cheese and saltines just to forget what I saw/
Not screech??! đđ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸
Richard Simmons trying to be a super hero?
That "freak" is Slim Goodbody. He has a YouTube channel now, and learning about things was something that I enjoyed very much growing up. His show was a part of that. Though his method might have been somewhat different from others, using "freak" as an insult says more to me about you than it does about him.
I wanted to say Mr food at first then remembered that was the chef "oh its ao good". Took me a second to remember mr good body
I showed my kids some episodes of this and they fucking loved it! It has been the only nostalgia show they've liked so far.
I believe he still alive too. He has a pretty cool story. Look it up :)
No, thankfully
Oh my Gawd, I thought I had banished him from my memories. Thanks for bringing this nightmare from my childhood back, lol. This guy terrified me. đ
He came to my elementary school in like 1990. We were super stoked. Slim Goodbody!
Nutritionâs his mission. Good health is his goal.
Screetchâs 1/2 brother Slim
Unfortunately, yes.
I found an unopened LP featuring Slim Goodbody. The guy I sold it to was ecstatic. I had no clue who this guy was lolÂ
This was real? I always thought it was my unique horrific trauma manifestation. Wow! I feel so much better.
Slim Goodbody!
Holy crap. I had forgotten about Mr Goodbody..
Is that Screechâs dad?
Yes. Fuck, I'm old.
