Pac-Man is an arcade classic that has gone through many changes over the years. So much so that it even got it's own cartoon, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. Today, we are going to take a look at this show, see how this version of the yellow circle held up and what happened to it.

Thanks so much for watching! Which Pac-Man game was your favorite?
I never played many pac-man games, but I remember liking pac world when I was younger. Maybe I’ll look at it again one day.
None
Always the original game.
The Nintendo 3ds Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures game
You're welcome and pac man adventures I this it was called on the ps1
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the weird but very interesting lore in this show.
I didn’t like it but I forgot why
I watched it every morning when I was 1 or 2
I remeber as a kid
I ADORED this show as a kid. More people need to talk about its insanity.
Bro fuuuuck this show man my little brother made me watch that show I hate it with the Passion of my soul.
Likewise ^^
I LOVE IT
Yes
This is a good show and I love this as well
A detail that I didn’t know about until a lot later is that the 4 ghosts designs were based on the ones they had for the PAC-man party game for Wii. Look it up; I’m sure they’re the same designs.
I think that this show was released around the same time that the Wii was a hot item.
Oh. Wow. I can see it.
Yeah man i did play pac-man party when i was younger.. man i want my wii back :(
I’m loving the mentions of Pac-Man Party in these comments. Definitely one of my favorite games on the Wii
@@twistedyogertThis came out in 2013 I think
I honestly prefer the designs for Inky, Blink, Pinky and Clyde in this series and wish they'd returned for the Pac-Man World remake, as they're more distinct from each other and emphasise their personalities better. I also really like the voice actors they were given.
Yeah I agree
They're nice, but I prefer their prototypes from Pac-Man Party. Heck, my favorite Pac-Man design is from that game and the cancelled Pac-Man World 2010 game.
Same. As much as I like their classic looks, I like the Ghosts Ghostly Adventures look even more. And I enjoyed Cylindria and Spiral-as one dimensional as they were. It’s kinda a shame that Bandai Namco didn’t incorporate them into the classic Pac-Man games.
@@MetalSonicReject they just kicked Ghostly Adventures to the curb when people were upset about it, with many fans beliving Namco was replacing the Pac-Man World series of platformers with Ghostly Adventures, hence why we never saw Pac-Man in anything beyond Nostalgia Bait, Mobile games, and Cameos since 2014 (Yes, Pac-Man World Re-Pac counts as it's a remake of the original 1999 game)
@Ahmed malake , nah, I think they changed the Party designs slightly for GA. Also, yes, Pinky is adorable in Party (honestly, more so than the show).
The visuals of the show are something else. My favorite part of Pac-Man’s character design in this show is his shoes. I always imagined Sonic the Hedgehog having Pac-Man’s shoes for the longest time ngl.
For me, this show feel like what if Sonic Boom done right. You know, with more action like this
@@syabilaazri7834 And typically, an actual purpose for the action.
@@syabilaazri7834 Not cool bro, Not cool.
I’m sad we didn’t get a season 3. I really wanted to know what happened to Pac’s parents. Also, although the main theme is controversial, the power berry theme was fire!
How is it controversial
@@Ash1627 I believe it is because of the lyrics within the main theme.
If you ever feel bad about yourself, just remember that Pac-Man has been friends with Ghosts.
At least he has friends, I'll rather have Ghosts as friends than none.
Ghost that he regularly EATS
Pac-Man World 3 wants to say hello.
@@PKSuperStar256 Orson
Fun Fact: Bandai Namco’s Mike Chang said that the Pac Man we see in this series is the son of the Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man we know today.
They should've finished the series with no cliffhanger, but I think it's really cool that Pac-Man is friends with the four ghosts he fights with in the game, and Pinky in this show, she's adorable X3
Pinky is Pac-Man’s most loyal supporter. I ship the two.
I don’t care what anyone says I personally enjoyed this show back then and I even have the two video games too.
Same it was my third favorite thing to watch on TV for a while
Yeah
Thought I was the only one
Same here!
And Noones gonna stop yall from liking it♡
A lot of these shows make me feel so much nostalgia. Many of these I remember watching for the first time like it was yesterday
I remember watching this show. I was actually greatly interested. I'm not exactly sure what drew me to it but I enjoyed it and I think that's really all that matters whenever you watch a show. There are some gripes I have and some negative aspects but I think it did a pretty good job. Unfortunately I feel like a season 3 was needed since it needed to answer a bunch of questions that were brought up during the shows run time.
All in all I give this show a solid 7.5 out of 10
It's to see that people are starting to give more attention to the relatively overlooked shows that aired on Disney XD. I loved how this series took a game with a relatively simple idea (Pac-Man set in a futuristic urban setting) and elevated it to something that was truly unique. I adored the aesthetics and background history present in this show, and it's a real shame that we never got a definitive conclusion.
Also, can we all agree that the Power Berries were one of the best things about this show? They looked so tasty!
I was hoping you’d talk about repository of the ghost’s corporeal bodies that is literally kept in the PRESIDENT’S OFFICE in this show and had a whole episode about it where inky, blinky, pinky and clyde entered it at the same time and all four of them got stuck in the same body. That episode was insane
Same
Me and an old friend used to love this show back in middle school, I've got no idea why we loved it but we did. The series although bad will always hold a special place in my heart. Interestingly the Netherworld and Betrayus ended up inspiring my own character and story, I'll work on eventually. I'm so happy you talked about this show, keep up the great work.
I unironically love this show. Huge comfort cartoon for me.
Although the tone of the show is insane. One second they're like trauma, war, genocide, and then the next second they're like haha fart joke. What a ride.
i personally think it's a good show. is it perfect? no. is it great? ... no~? but is it good? yes. it has a likable set of both heroes and villains, the power ups are pretty cool, even if some are one-offs for a gag but the gag can work some times, and i like how they change up Pac-Man from grown Pac with family with kid Pac who is looking for he's family. though, i think the cool abilities was my selling point as well as the Halloween episodes/special. can't help it: you make a fun or entertaining Halloween episode/special and it's a good show at best.
I hated this show honestly looking back idk why
My favorite scene is when Pacman said "It's Pacing Time!"
Like my uncle used to say to me.
It's one of the quotes of all time.
I remember dressing up as a ghost for Halloween because of this show and Luigi's mansion. I loved ghosts a lot lol.
To this day, I've been itching for a new episode! I know they may never continue this show, but the worldbuilding was huge and the lore regarding the Pac World War went hard! I would give anything to finally see Pac and his friends just drop in on the planet of the Pointy Head species and completely obliterate their army while searching for Pac's parents and possibly the rest of the surviving Yellow Ones, as the episode that last aired had implied! Also, I refuse to let the lore revolving around the Overlords of the Outer Regions go unexplained! X D Man, I wish I lived in the alternate reality where this show lived to see its proper finale...
This show was always a good time for me and I really wish it would come back. I thought everything from the story, to the settings, to the heroes and villains was awesome, Especially Lord Batrayus. Everything about him was perfect for being the main villain, from his entertaining personality, his villainous design, to his voice that always sounded like Double D from Ed, Edd, n' Eddy doing an Invader Zim impression. I really wished that they would've kept him around for the game series.
It’d be cool if they incorporated characters from Ghostly Adventures into the Pac-Man game’s canon like having Spiralton and Cylindria be Pac-Man Jr.’s friends
that would be amazing
Thatd be so cool :D
Pac Man will be around for another century or so. So I wouldn't be surprised if there dub back up sometime
Oh wow, didn't see this coming
I like Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, but it could've been better
I remember knowing about the show while wandering through the Pac-Man Wikia / Fandom (back then I was in my early Pac-Man fanatic energy)
Honestly, that show was good, not great, just good
It's understandably sad that the cancellation of the series in it's best moment was very heartbroken.
Same
Why did this show end right when pacman said he found out where his parents were...
What a cliffhanger
Ikr? We could've seen Pac-man take on Apex on his home planet and save his parents.
The Dutch dub of this show is utter insanity and is funnier than words could describe
I really wish Pacman TGA got it's own right as a spinoff. It could still be salvaged, although difficult.
20 minutes long? The Pac must really be back, he’d want a retrospective on his show to be as in-depth as this
I do love this version of Pac-man and the the shows too. My most favorite Character in the show is Betrayus because of the Design look and the Team Rocket-ist type personality.👻👻🙂
I remember when this was on Netflix and I don’t know why but the show was great and the line from the opening PAC is back is stuck in my head lol
I love watching the show as a kid. I remember playing Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 1 and 2 video game on the Wii U, and it’s a lot of fun with the missions and mini games!
I remember this show and honestly it was a 7/10 in my opinion. I think it's great but now I can't remember the last time I watched on Cartoon Network?
It was on Disney XD actually
It’s currently airing on discovery family.
Reruns I mean.
It's on Disney Channel for me.
Thank you for making these. I did forget these shows and it even takes me a few minutes into your video to remember those memories.
Somebody: I got an itchy crotch
Pacman: I got a berry for that
The show was not the best but I wanted to see how it would go considering it ended on a massive cliffhanger
I honestly think it’s best that this show was canceled a few years ago. I recently rewatched it, and, it wasn’t terrible, but I don’t think it was as memorable as Sonic Boom.
I feel like the show just left off a cliffhanger.
Tbh, I never liked both Ghostly and Boom.
I always prefer 80s Pac Man and the 90s Sonic cartoons.
@@kootunesscrewy What’s wrong with Sonic Boom?
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Yeah. I think they were working on another season, but the show was canceled before they could finish it. At least the show gave us the “Nerd Pac” meme.
@@spaceboyctstudios2934 Sonic Boom doesn't have a dark and serious story
I LOVE THIS SHOW SM THANK YOU YOU'RE A LEGEND BRO
I loved this show when it came out a week before my 10th birthday. The first 2 episodes started as a dark story but then moves on for a more episodic approach
Actually, it would be interesting if this Pac was a descendant of the original Pacman, and is named after him, along with everything else. Maybe the 1st Pac World War was when Pacman became the hero, and now the records were changed by Betrayus to try to get the Pac Worlders to forget about Pacman.
A pac man TV show! What?! I love the old silly gaming shows but didn't know about this one. Still always impressed by what you remember. Do you remember your own birth!!
I am an A.I. made to make nostalgic content lol
@@JordanFringe94 I love the backstory. OK I'm looking forward to this one!
I remember playing the first game of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures and watching the tv series. The intro of the show was a banger for me.
The power berry theme was pretty good ngl
This was one of my favorite show’s on Disney XD, and will forever have a place in my heart!
Right now the vivid memories are coming back from this show
I feel like this series deserves a 3rd season an actually 3rd season and not like where you just put the other half of season 2 and put it in a another playlist for depending for which region you live in. They can't just leave us in a cliffhanger where Elli just whispers for where pac's parents are and also thought the theme song was nice for my opinion.
Pac Man & the ghostly adventures! I love the episode where they go to the past and there's a baby Pac Man named Packy. You should review Super Mario Bros Super Show, Sonic X, Rabbids Invasion, Street Fighter 2 V, & Kirby Right Back at Ya
I LOVED THIS SHOW!! I was so extremely obsessed with it and I got so excited whenever it aired.
I always loved the animation for this show. It looked very satisfying.
Yo, Jordan! I doubt this is next, but please put this in your series to review next list: Duck Dodgers. That show was ahead of it's time.
I'll die on this hill though:
the tie-in game on Wii U? Mid
but the Sequel to it? Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2?
Damn that's a surprisingly solid 3D Platformer, it legit felt like a classic Pac-Man 3D Platformer
I'd recommend that game easily!
it's an huge disservice that it never got an official season 3... The finale should of ended with Betrayuses finally getting his body back. The unthinkable...
It ended without real closure...
Did you know that Pac-Man used to be "Puck-Man"? You'd think that it was because he looked like a hockey puck, but "Pakupaku" means to flap one's mouth open and closed. They were afraid that people would vandalize it; scratch out the "p" and turn it into a "Fringe, please review Big Fat Liar".
Lmao that was a good twist there at the end lol
I’ve always thought of this show as “Namco’s Sonic Boom”
A tie-in show for a Wii U game, complete redesigns of the characters (and new ones), people like the show more than the games. Except unlike Sonic Boom the theme song’s been stuck in my head for so long now, lol
I thought the game came before the show in PMatGA's case.
The pac is baaaaack, ghost chompin at his feet, pacs our hero. Pac just can’t be beat yeaahhhhhh
I loved this show so much and waking up in the morning watching it
Weirdly, I actually loved this show
Jordan please make a tron uprising video. It was so unique in many ways and for it to end after one season makes it even more unique. Still one of the most underrated shows I seen
Everytime I think of this cartoon I just remember the one time back in my highschool days, it was pretty dark out, in my mom's clinic watching the tv behind the receptionist desk. Then when we were heading out, I left it in this channel. So now the people in the waiting area, who were all adults and elderly was subjected to this show. I cringe a bit whenever i think about it.
And I will never forget this theme song for as long as I live whether I like it or not
This show is so underrated by a mile
Like this show had an interesting twist compared to the original
And the 4 ghost designs looks super cool and I wish they would’ve kept them that way
Man this show should have continued honestly
this is the first time i've heard someone else mention freakazoid in a long time, it's an under appreciated one
As a Voice Actor Fan, this Show did something Cool. Ocean/Canada did the Voices for the Show, but L.A/Bang-Zoom did one or both of the Video Games. I Love Both Groups mostly thanks to Anime & Video Games, so it was really cool hearing & comparing the character's different Voices.
Pac-Man and the Ghostly adventures was a good series. There were some funny jokes here and there (besides the fart jokes) and looking at the memes that popped up about a month ago to me shows how much people still care about our chowing down machine during all of those years! I never knew that they had toys for him or maybe I did but the comercial a didn’t grasp my attention too well.
I also like this little idea from the show that the ghost were so kind and trustworthy enough to find their own bodies back. And I also liked how Pam-man was on a mission to find his long lost parents. Such a good series to go back to if you asked me.
Love you Jordan, keep doing what you do best!!!
Thanks so much!
Found your channel a little bit ago and fell in love with it.
Please do Sendokai Champions and Iron Kid
I remember watching this show in my daycare, I came back to it when I wanted to watch It again On My way back Home From Louisiana, I enjoyed every bit of that nostalgic Moment And Show
pac and roll is a legendary part of my life i woke up every morning of school with a bowl of cereal and pmaga + disneyxd
This was one of those shows my dad would walk in on me watching and say:
“WHAT are YOU watching?!??”Incredulously.
Omg!
I loved watching this show growing up!
It was so much fun!
I was 14 when I discovered this show on TV. The fact there was something I liked actually on mainstream media TV really got me interested in the show. I love the show and helped bring a story to the PacMan franchise. It's also the first time I heard a voice for PacMan. Therefore when I see PacMan (specifically the Ghostly Adventures variant), I hear this voice.
Nostalgia hits hard … I miss this show !
I absolutely adore this show
Watched it as a kid for the first time and I absolutely loved it
Speaking of tv adaptations, how about you do one on Kirby Right Back At Ya? It’s definitely a cult classic.
Antdude did a video on kirby right back at ya
This show was one if my favorites when it was on Disney XD! It was such an interesting story.
Yes I do. Thanks for asking.
Okey a Pac-man cartoon with Pac-man world 3 Writing could actually be incredible.
They nailed pacman personality in that game.
Pac is back
My most vivid memory of this show is me having a migraine while watching it, and having to rewatch the entire show thrice over because i physicaly could not move from the amount of pain i was in
I still watch it sometimes. It's on nearly every streaming service out there and two video games were made tied with the show itself, though the voice cast is slightly different.
Yeah I remember watching this show in high school I think when id go to stay with my dad in the summer, then I went home and never heard about it again
The Pac is officially back!
seeing this, randy cunningham, and OK KO let's be heroes on my list of favourite cartoons is beginning to tell me i have type for cartoons
I actually only discovered this cartoon on Netflix a long time ago (at least to me because I’m 17) so I’m glad to see that other people appreciate it if I’m ever having a rough day I’ll put this or turbo fast on in the background it’s just fun kind of like Slugterra
It was new after I graduated high school, so I watched as adult cause it was a news Erie and I enjoyed it, and it was very deserving of being continued with a third season
This show deserves a revival!
I loved this show as a kid!! The theme song was catchy and I honestly miss it.
SPOILER ALERT
But a weird memory of mine was this one episode where Pac-man’s (?) dad died and I remember BAWLING. I think he was going back in time or something?? I don’t know really, but I just remember crying and I couldn’t watch the show for awhile (I was around 8-9)
I honestly remember watching this show when I was a kid but since now it's a meme, I decided to rewatch this show and it's still good.
I like that inky’s redesign is modeled after the fusion between him and Kinzo in Pac-Man Arrangement
I remember when this show started; I would have it on in the background out of sheer curiosity. I was actually somewhat intrigued by what the series tried to accomplish, because I know the PacMan games don't have much in terms of story - you gotta build from the ground-up. However, I do remember some aspects of the show being asinign.
the berries are literally devil fruits lmao i love it, and they're invented by a scientist just like vegapunk
This has to be my favorite type of pac man
My oldest son discovered this on Netflix, and we watched through all the episodes available. He enjoyed it, though at 5 it's not like he knows the original character. I didn't hate the show, but as noted some of the toilet humor was a bit much. The time travel episodes were really a change of pace, but overall if viewing the show in the light of introducing Pac-Man to a younger generation and giving adults a bit to work with, I think its a serviceable show.
THE PAC IS BAAAAACK
Yoo i just remembered this show and i remember how much i LOVED IT like i watched the show every day and rewatched the entire series all the time i also remember watching the side movies
I missed this show. I remembered it even 'till this day.
Nice, got a new channel to binge. Your Robotomy video was on my suggestions, glad I checked it out.
Great work, love the videos I have seen so far.
Truly appreciate that! Thanks so much!
My 5 year old daughter just started watching this and she loves it
I hope we see PAC World 2 & 3 get remasters too. I remember this show, never finished it. Might go back and check it out again.
Idk why people hate this show so much I understand that it’s very different from normal pac man but it was basically what sonic boom was to the sonic series and I loved both of them.
idk if its the voice or the memories but i enjoy these alot
I want to see betrayus get his body back it would be so cool
I love the show, and I’ll still keep watching it.❤
