Pac-Man being a chill grown-up dad really sets him apart from other video game mascots. Even Mario, who is a human man with a mustache is known for his jolly personality and less so because of the fact he’s a grown up. (In fact, his age has been confused for years, Some thought he was middle aged, but Nintendo says he was always in his 20’s)
I love how the Ghostly Adventures was cancelled before we find out what happened to Pac-Man’s parents. Damn, I guess they’re *dead* dead - they didn’t even turn into ghosts.
Supposedly this pac mans parents were hinted at to be the original pac man and ms pac man by the staff of the show and said fact would be a mid or end season twist reveal for the final season. The series kind of dodged a bullet here as that would mean the classic pac man world gets effed up and the ghostly adventures is a recovered post apocalypse. That shift works for megaman as the x series and afterwards with zero and zx feels like a natural progression of the lore but ghostly adventures feels like loonatics unleashed in that it tried to make something seem deeper and edgier then it needed to be.
@@jamesmiller206whoa sounds awesome. It’s a shame they didn’t get to show their fates. I don’t get why people hate loonatics so much. How do you not see how neat that is? The show has its own lore and versions of the game characters. Nothing wrong with being different, honestly you’re no fun at all😣
Choopo spat out lines like "Pac World War" and "turns into a gorilla" and I sat there thinking 'I thought you were going to talk about the show's _failings_ ?' My main takeaway is that, the Ghostly Adventures writing board realized the splendor of a power-up that turns you into a big strong furry, one decade before the devs at Nintendo.
Pac-man and the ghostly adventures taught me a valuable lesson as a youth: Never start liking something ironically unless you are prepared to like it unironically. No matter how stupid you think something is, if you watch it as a bit for long enough it will eventually stop being a bit.
No but really I grew up with that show and it was one of my favorites as a kid I would watch it all the time when it was on Netflix. I even still remember some of the jokes and plot lines. Can’t believe my brain can remember Pac-man and the ghostly adventures but not algebra skills
Should I be deeply embarrassed that I knew all of the Pac-Man designs here from the Tensura to Vampire Holmes to Pizza Parlor? This yellow thing's literally occupying 70% of my brain
pac-man with the plaid oven mitts absolutely solos all other pac-men solely because of the fact that he’s the only pac-MAN readily equipped to deal with Gordon Ramsey
I refuse to believe that the Pac-Man from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is the same Pac-Man we all known and love since 1980. It's more likely to be the son or grandson of the original Pac-Man.
7:30 unfortunately in 2021, because of the pandemic and stuff, the place was sold and rebranded to Enterrium, completely stripping anything that had to do with pac-man away from the restaraunt
Still gonna keep asking this man nicely to talk about doc mcstuffins because I tried to search up "doc mcstuffins iceberg" (the chart one) and got recommended an ACTUAL episode about a toy stuck in an iceberg 💀🥶
I was kinda hoping Pac Man Monsters would've gotten a mention. Concept art was briefly shown at 11:14, but the game went with different designs. I really like the style of that game and it's a shame it's been lost to the abyss since it required a connection to a server
i gotta say that my favorite cursed pac-man is pac-man from just dance 2019. yep, they put pac-man in just dance. the coach is a person in a dark blue bodysuit wearing a pac man costume over his top half. it's horrendous, i love it
Saw a pacman bar of soap on a string at Khols for $20. A bar of soap, featuring a yellow ball, for twenty US dollars. I guess the price of rope has inflated drastically.
6:03 Probably already known, but this Mega Man design is loosely based on the infamous box art for the North American release of Mega Man 1. Also the design of PAC-MAN’s robot is based on Mokujin, a sentient wooden training dummy in the Tekken series who’ll randomly copy the fighting style of other characters!
Okay so for anybody who was actually curious about how many times he said "Pac" in the entire video, I (for some reason) have counted and have legitimately came to the total of 69 times. However if I do happen to be wrong you can tell me so, yeah.
You forgot the evil version of Pac-Man in Kamen rider exaid. It was a bit of a villain, and had a jagged fang like mouth, like if Pac-Man was part jackolantern
You kind of looked over a Pac-Man that exists similar to the Pixels incarnation that I found really dumb but funny: Kamen Rider is a very famous 50+ year old TV superhero franchise, and that expands to special crossover films between the different incarnations of Kamen Rider they call "Movie Wars". In one of these Movie Wars (and this is a mouthful
"I like Pac-Man, he's just like me. He eats things, he runs away from his problems, and he's a family man when it benefits him. He's one of my favorite characters." This video is fucking gold
There's a bit of a history behind the Mega Man in SFXT, it's a parody of the infamous American box art for Mega Man 2. This Mega Man even appeared in other MM media, like the cancelled Mega Man Universe game as well as a side character in Mega Man: Fully Charged. I personally think his inclusion in SFXT is funny, albeit poorly timed cuz the game came out during a time when MM projects like the aforementioned Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3 were getting cancelled left and right (not to mention Mega Man being absent from Marvel Vs. Capcom 3).
Ghostly Pac Man is kinda weird but decent. My least favorite part is the bottom eye lids. The top ones look fine but the bottom ones look really gross. As for everything else, the fingers kinda add some personality and the teeth are just derpy. A controversy but I can see what they were going for. 5/10.
I originally thought Ghostly Adventures was French, but it's actually Canadian, so my people don't have to have the same blame we got for Sonic Boom and The Garfield Show
@@fanofyoshi2238 I remember a lot of Sonic fans didn't like it when it first came out, because of it being a direct tie-in with Rise of Lyric, which was pretty much a guaranteed initially-negative reaction by that association alone. Also I remember how PhantomStrider(top # list format cartoon review channel I've been watching for years) specifically said that he didn't really think the show as a whole until Season 2's aesthetics and writing improvements came around. I think the main complaint people had was the CGI art style's blandness and how it occasional unfinished shading/lighting renders in certain scenes, and that it was pretty boring overall because of its focus on humor instead of having any kind of plot; latter being something I definitely remember people slandering Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog for, because 2010's UA-cam reviews were really just _that_ fцcking harsh back then about cartoons that exist just to be fun and silly, and how it was 'mind-numbing' or whatever(can you tell I like AoStH? ...I mean, I'm a YTP creator, so I guess I'm partially biased towards it from that). Though, in Sonic Boom's case, I think more people just found it kind of boring more than anything. Most positive things I heard about the show were from the pity towards the show itself and its staff for having to deal with the show being scheduled to air too early in the morning, or how it got moved to Boomerang. People don't hate it now- I've actually seen more people say they at least like it, from what I've seen in the past few years- and didn't exactly go as far as to _hate_ it that much back then really; definitely nowhere near the backlash of Rise of Lyric, even back then pretty much everyone agreed that the show was better than the game. But I think it took some time for it to build up its current reputation, as far as I'm aware.
@@BinglesP Ah, thanks for the clarification. By the way, a little off-topic, but related to the video... Don't you think that it's outrageous how choopo criticizes PMTGA's Pacster for "having fingers", whilst also conventiently glossing over that when discussing the Hanna Barbera cartoon? I mean, i adamantly believe that condemning a Pac-Man design for having fingers (let alone teeth) is stupid, but my main point is that choopo isn't even consistent with the criticism.

Whispy visited a friend

The best part of Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures is the main four ghost characters. I'd watch an entire show centered around them.
"Not somewhere over here" *points to the exact location of the bar*
story boards: hi
Suggestions for other videos (please):
•Candy Crush
•Fortnite (April fools idk)
•Lego
•Kirby
The wooden mech Pacman uses in SFxT is based on Mokujin, a Tekken character that would randomly pick another character's moveset each *round*
I think the color yellow is just associated with some genetic mutation that allows for eating ghosts instead of just getting possessed by them

I mean he IS a child 😅
I read wiki entries for fun, mainly bc pac man world, but I remember reading that Pac from PM & GA is technically Pac Jr.
Pac-Man in the Ghostly Adventures canon is technically Pac-Man Jr. since Pacster is his name.
As a blue ghost, this video made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Just keep that little yellow monster away from me! 👻
He will consume you

Don’t take it personally 😅
All I remember about Pac-Man is that every track for the Pac-Man World 2 soundtrack is the exact same melody arranged in different ways.
You forgot Kamen Rider 😼… Where Pac Man tries eating a Dead Guy and a Gamer Doctor, and then they team up with a Fruit God, a Wizard and a Detective
