Slippery Slim is the titular character in the Sesame Street song "The Ballad of Slippery Slim". Slim and his friend, Slap-Happy Sly, go camping on a slippery slope when his sleeping bag slips and he rips his slacks.

Slim offers to slide down the slope on his sled to Slappy's Slack Shed and get Sly a new pair of slacks. However, on his way back up the slope, the sleet and snow make it difficult for him to move forward. Thinking quickly, he ties a slip-knot to his sleigh, slings it up to Sly, and the day is saved!
