The 17 weirdest things that happened during the Nickelodeon Super Bowl 58 broadcast, including lots of slime

Nickelodeon Patrick Star SpongeBob Squarepants’ Christian McCaffrey CJ Fogler Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl Super Bowl 58 NFL Taylor Swift

Nickelodeon’s special broadcast of Super Bowl 58 was all over the place. Football fans were in for a wild ride as SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Dora the Explorer and the rest of the crew broke down the game as only Nickelodeon can do.

Nickelodeon got things going early with special news that they were starting the broadcast with a special rendition of Sweet Victory by SpongeBob Squarepants. (If you haven’t seen it, it’s glorious.) But then things became unhinged quickly when an early fumble prompted a Christian McCaffrey roasting session from Patrick Star and SpongeBob.
