WE'RE GETTING THE PAC BACK WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
The pack shaker
we're Pac-ing a whole backery with this one 🎂
@@PizzaPastaLuingini I think you mean the pac shaker.
WE MAKIM IT OUT OF THE ARCADE WITH DIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
this was truly a pac man
Surely this isn’t the ominous foreshadowing to Dumbsy actually making a review to the show because he would never subject himself to such torture…
You mean such bliss
That would be my job if I am done with shezow
The show’s honestly fine, after a certain point I stopped questioning things though
I loved the show, ngl
@@keoniflow2019same, me shipping Pac with Pinky was actually my very first ship back when the show first aired (I was 7 back then) I really do miss that time 😂
One thing I like to clarify, is that I've always seen Ghostly Adventure Pac-Man as the SON of the Original Pac-Man & Ms. Pac-Man. Due to the fact that in the show, his parents were apparently heroes of the world, and the fact that this show takes place in a future city.
Supposedly the original plan for the final season was that the ghostly adventures pacmans parents was to be revealed to be the original pac man and ms pac man but obviously the show ended on a cliff-hanger which is honestly for the best as that would mean that ghostly adventures is some megaman x style series but at least megaman x felt like a natural evolution of what the lore would be like in 100 years and felt like a really strong revitalization of the brand while ghostly adventures is like that failed mystical ninja goemon new age reboot that bombed so bad konami actually put the new age goemon in a prison cell in the ds goemon game(which sadly never left japan) just to mock it. And like new age goemon namco will probably push this series into non canon status since the show never got to do its big reveal that would implicate the original pacman series ended badly.
@jamesmiller206 Man, that sucks. Cuz I actually LOVED this show, and was very excited to see the ending, it's a shame, cuz the show actually gets better towards the end (with Pac-Man actually getting a GOOD love interest in the last 2 episodes) and might have gotten an ending so good that people would've ACTUALLY given it a chance.
that makes a lot of sense!
@@jamesmiller206 The amount of hatred I feel after learning about this is indescribable, Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures was nice. And the fact that I'm now learning that it has essentially been screwed over, and the fact that people dislike the show?! I try tolerating things, but it has failed.
That was actually info from a Bandai Namco executive pulling shit out of their ass, Not even the higher ups knew what they wanted this Pac-Man to be other than a full-on replacement, and the showrunners even confirmed that was never the intent. lmao
This mega man fully charged & Sonic Boom are like part of an era of video game mascot revivals that barely were
Wasn't sonic boom good though?
@@theweirdduder3725and do be honest i really don’t think Megaman fully changed that bad it was ok
@@theweirdduder3725the show was actually pretty funny
can't say the same for most of the Boom games though
Fully Charged never having a tie in game is such a missed opportunity. It would've fit in alongside the Ghostly Adventures & Boom games
@@pridefulmaster1390 well I do agree with that but I still don’t think it that bad I do kinda get why the Megaman fan hated this but to me it just ok but it pretty good in my opinion it ok when it your opinion
If anything at least the show gave us the Nerd Pacman meme
Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is the first time I think I've ever developed stockholm syndrome with a show's theme song.
That song is the definition of "not bad."
@@theotherjared9824 It is definitely one of the theme songs of all time.
The nostalgia keeps me coming back to it💀
the japanese intro is FIRE but the english one is literally missed potential
This, Sonic Boom, and Mega Man Fully Charged were part of an era where the companies thought that making a new subseries with a CGI show and a potential video game tie-in would make them bank.
And Sonic Boom turned out to be the best of the three.
If you pay attention, the characters with legs never actually sit down. The designers and modelers didn't think of that being a possibility, so they would clip into themselves and look disgusting.
Executive 1: So how do we make Pac-Man popular again.
Executive 2: Uh, give him the powers of Kirby and the style of Sonic the Hedgehog?
Executive 1: BRILLIANT!
😅
How much would it cost to make you watch the entire TV series?
1 trillion dollars
I think it’s still on Netflix so like however much that costs
In the U.S, it got removed from Netflix but it’s available on Peacock for free
Like 5 bucks. And no not 5 dollars 5 deer
I remember when the full series was uploaded to RUclips back in 2017 but got deleted maybe because of the new garbage copyright policy
This just unlocked a nearly forgotten memory of me playing one of these games for like an hour and then never touching it again. Feels nostalgic for some reason
Fun fact: The games had a different voice cast from the show due to it being recorded in LA while the show was recorded in Vancouver.
I’d be down for Spiral and Cylindria being brought back as Pac-Man Jr’s friends
And let me remind you all that the voice of Pac Man of the games of Ghostly Adventures is Erica Mendez... (yes... Erica MOTHERFUCKING Mendez) voices Pac-Man in the games... Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill, Noire's latest VA from Neptunia, Megumin from Konosuba, oh I can go on.
@@unleasherquiles8319 If you want to know another fun fact about the GA VA, the Japanese VA for Spiral in the show is Chaka/Anubis in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Spiral in the english VA for the games is Rohan. Inky's English VA, meanwhile, is Caesar Zeppeli. Also, Inky's VA in the games, for some reason, has a lot of Power Rangers credits due to the Super Megaforce game, and as Makoto and Nagito in Danganronpa. Cylindria's, meanwhile, has credits as Chibi-Usa in Sailor Moon (the most recent dubs of both the original and Crystal).
As I make this post, I am realizing that the GA VA cast is stacked to shit. A TON of at least good VAs. There's the guy that plays Apollo Justice and Rico Rodriguez in AA and Just Cause, a lot of FATE VAs, a surprising amount of 7DS VAs, and some Jojo VAs for good measure. They've even got, like, 2 VAs from Precure. I don't know how they could make THAT good of a cast for an attempted reboot of PACMAN, of all things.
Speaking of voice cast the voice actress of pac man in the ghostly adventure video games Erica Mendez was also the English voice of ryuko from kill la kill and also both voice white lily cookie and black pearl cookie in English for cookie run kingdom.
I was WONDERING where I heard that@@unleasherquiles8319
@@UltimateDragonX9999 True.
Fun fact the voice actress of pac man in the pac man and the ghostly adventures video games, Erica Mendez was the English voice Ryoko Matoi from Kill la Kill, Akko from little witch academia, Diane from seven deadly sins, and both white lily cookie and black pearl cookie from cookie run kingdom.
Is she Amy Rose as well? She sounds like it.
@@DankMemeArchive Good point
I love Dumbsville I wish schizophrenia was real
W
No way Schizophrenia 2 is coming out? 🤯
Actually everything is the delusional scitzofrenic hulusination of my friend Bill
One of my best friends had schizophrenia. He self-deleted.
@@viscountrainbows2857 I should not have joked about that, I also have attempted that in the past and I’m sorry for being insensitive it’s easy to trivialize problems linked to your own but that doesn’t mean I should have made a snarky joke about it.
You know it's bad when the character designs on the thumbnail are better than the designs in the show.
It was truly a delight to hear that the man I respect the most in gaming put an end to Pac's dark age.
Come on Dumbsville, you don't remember Pac-Man's iconic sidekicks, E-Girl Pac-Man and Sonic Boom Knuckles Pac-Man?
Fun fact: the same writers who did Pac-Man the Ghostly Adventures TV show also were the writers for Sonic colors sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World
HOLY SHIT
HES BAAAAACK
THE PAC IS BAAAAAAAACK 💥💥💥💥
So hard to believe the pac coming back was a freaking decade ago .
it feels like it happened only about 5 or 6 years ago
You know we're in for a treat when Dumbsville uploads.
I heard Pac-Man fell into a depression when this series was made. I hope he recovers from it😢
i remember wanting this game so bad but my parents never got me it...guess i was lucky
Yeah you were
personally i kinda enjoyed this era of pacman, i thought it was really cool that they tried to expand pacman universe, and i did enjoy the show and games even if they were far from perfect, i highly doubt it will happen but i wouldn't mind seeing this version of pacman return one day.
also i really don't get what the big deal is about pac man re design its basically the exact same as the pacman world design but with different looking eyes.
*claps hands*
THANK! YOU!
Agreed
*Its basically the exact same as the pacman world design but with different looking eyes*
And different looking Shoes
And with Teeth
And with Fingered Gloves
Ghostly Adventures Pacman and World Pacman design are clearly different and it's not just the eyes, so nice try
They did expand on the lore but it only took place in an alternate Universe, not the main Universe.
I personally take Party Pac-man's Design over Ghostly Adventures Pacman design
@@lightgivemepower6425 Okay Captain Obvious, no need to kill the mood.
@@kevinkong64 too bad and too late. Ghostly adventures was a mistake and Super Smash Bros. And Re PAC fix those mistakes. Things would of been better for Pacman anyways if namco stuck with there original idea back in 2010
THE PAC IS BAAACK
GHOSTS CHOMPIN AT HIS FEET
imma need the full version of that ken carson remix at 13:33, shit actually went hard 😂
I can’t be the only one getting Balan Wonderworld flashbacks with these gameplay decisions am I?
People were wrong, this isn't the Sonic 06 of Pac-Man, this is the Sonic Boom of Pac-Man
I remember actually studying the first ghostly adventures game and using a certain level to get to 99 lives easily
Oh my god, I LITERALLY WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS SHOW A FEW HOURS AGO FOR NO REASON, this show was honestly a big part of my 7-8 year old life tbh. This played so much in Disney XD back then it’s insane, the show isn’t too bad but definitely needs some help. But u feel like the show is trashed on way too much. Great video otherwise and nice editing👍
Your honor. The Pac... Is Bac.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a definite improvement from the original PS1 version!
You know what's really odd? The E-girl Pac-person would have been a decent design....
In something NOT Pac-Man. That look just doesn't work for a Pac-person.
Like, put that sort of look onto a human (obviously with more clothes like a black skirt with a chain on the side, some kind of shirt, like maybe with the pattern from her helmet in the game, maybe a short vest).
Or heck, if she was in a different game with non-human types.... Hell, in some weird universe where she was a Sonic character instead, she might have had a sizable fanbase.
Your asking a company to make you a novel e waiftune human girl 😁, I'm looking forward for her to be parrapa the rapper groopy stalker UwU
Had no idea there was Pac-Man lore. I need to research more about it. Great video Dumbsy !!!
This is an alternative canon btw
These games feel like a mixture of Sonic Boom and Balland wonderworld
These are the games your dad buys you when he doesn't love you enough.

22:15 Ending
I remember me and my brothers loving this show as a kid. Me and my brothers still reference the intro line “ThE pAC iS BasaAaaAaAAcK”
This is really cool, I only knew about the tv show, I never knew it was adapting a game
I’ve actually seen the show so I can fill you in on it,
The best way to describe the show is: “it’s like the Sonic Boom TV show but it doesn’t have the good writing or funny jokes”
The red pac-guy is basically just Boom Knuckles
the twinsanity music that started around 10:48 took me way back holy shit
Ghostly Adventures was a pretty good show all things considered.
They straight up gave Pac-Man Kirby's copy ability
@SatsumaCatCreations doesn't the same thing also have to do with MegaMan?
2:38 the redesign for Pac-Man here actually goes back as far as 2008, when they were planning on making a 4th Pac-Man World game that ended up getting cancelled. Namco really wanted to push Pac-Man back into the mainstream, though the Ghostly Adventures game and show, were in development hell.
Don't ask why I know so much about the development of Pac-Man and his Ghostly Adventures.
that cancelled pac-man world 4 was reworked into party
As it turns out, the Pac was back. Back in court for what he did on those ‘Ghostly Adventures’ to the innocent people of Dubai.
Dreamworks presents, The Boss Baby.
Shrek, Illuminati, Derp.
The Pac is back.
He goes chomping at his feet.
I remember buying ghosty adventures 2 over Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and that was the worst mistake of my life.
Yikes
I got the first game for the Wii U as a birthday present, but never touched it until years later because the box art put me off of it. When finally trying it out after all that time, I skipped the intro, went to the first level, did Pac-Man’s weird scare move twice, and ultimately decided to hightail it out ASAP. Quite literally the fastest I’ve ever put down a game in my life, and I unironically loved Paper Mario: Sticker Star and completed that in full around the same time!
Everyone's grandparents would have a seizure trying to understand what happened to Pac-man
Yeah, before Mario, Pacman was my favorite. I was excited when I heard he was getting a show. I didn't like it that much.
Midrio Pac-Man better
Hot take: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is the best Pac-Man platformer game before Re-Pac showed up. Yes, I find GA2 to be even be a smidge better than World 2.
Yeah, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures was a weird part of my childhood. Some sort of acid trip.
God bless Sakurai for saving Pac Man lol.
Also the goth pacgirl was a gift.
Honestly, the animated series wasn't horrible IMO.
Dumbsville? More like the movie "Alpha & Omega" for the DVD.
I played both of these games and they were solid adventures. Simplistic, sure, but the level design was fun enough and you could do a lot worse in terms of 3D platformers. Shame this sub series didn’t stick around for longer because I do quite like new Pac’s design, especially the shoes. Also. The ost of these games were really good
Yeah, not everyone can appreciate the Art, that is Ghostly Adventures.... Tho i do prefer the Games more over the TV Show...
Aww man, I'm a meme 😔
The pac-lore is so dark and deep 😔
I NEED A FULL REMIX OF PAC N’ PAL
Ghostly Adventures...I remember when this cartoon launched in 2013.
*_GOOD GRIEF_*
And another thing? I *_loved_* the intro gag. We really went PAC to the past.
I would die laughing if you reviewed the show! As a kid I used to watched this show a lot and was pretty sad with it got cancelled. I know this show was utter trash I don’t know what was wrong with me back then.
THE PAC IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!
The Pac-Man redesign was also used for his playable appearance in Street Fighter X Tekken
The Lego Squidward jumpscare gets me everytime along with the Armored Core references. Absolutely epic and thank you for bringing this to life.
3:52 Yeah, I remember watching that one. That one is definitely the Pac-Man equivalent to the SpongeBob “Squid Baby” episode.
It's sad😢 because me and my brother used to love Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures until the hatred of the show
"Your honour in my client's defense, the Pac is back"
Your montage is to me the best representation of how my mind feels watching this Pac-Man
I went through the 5 stages of grief admitting that my autistic ass use to love this show and watch it every night before bed on my fucking wii u gamepad when I was like 8
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE MAZE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone who’s played the 3ds version of the 1st game, I don’t blame you for not caring. It had some fun moments but what really ruins it are the boss fights, I promise you theirs 1 boss in particular where the pink pac girl will NEVER SHUT UP and keeps saying pac man’s name over and over again and at that point, I beat the game and never played it again 🫥. I’ve always wanted to try the 2nd game though, idk something about it just always looked kinda fun to me
Thank god for Pac-Man World Re-Pac. The 2010’s were an absolute miserable time.
Watch Dumbsville review the entire 22 hour long cartoon series a month or two later after much demand.
I would like the show to get a reboot.
Me and my brothers watches this show and my lil brother played both Wii U games
Still love these games and this show, but I guess I can see why people won’t like it, in the mean time, ima go watch it again and think “man, I sure wish they kept this design and games no matter how much the fandom would hate it”
Sakurai denying modern Pac Man was the best threat to Namco in gaming history.
PLS 😭 This was my favorite Disney channel's cartoon show, I remember waiting everytime this show is on screen
Idk why it got cancelled tho
This series introduced me to Mac n Cheese on Pizza
7:40 sonic adventure has really good physics and momentum based gameplay
WE STAYING IN MARKETING SCHOOL WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️
We need a season 2 or 3. So pac can really be back
The memories you just awakend in me is crazy
Ain’t no way my man dissed Super Pac-Man that games so goated!
3:02 Always wanted a Lego Squidward.
kid:hey mom can we get kirby and the forgotton land
mom:we have kirby and the forgotton land at home
kirby and the forgotton land at home:
What’s funny is that Ghostly Adventures Pac Man in the video games is voiced by Erica Mendez who has voiced a bunch of other anime and gaming characters[including some from other Bandai Namco titles].
Man, dumbsville having a death grips joke in the video oddly brought me some nostalgia
Western Kirby Right Back At Ya (the vore is far more prominent)
Why am I getting flashbacks to Balan's Wonderworld...
Tall Red Pac-Man honestly reminds me of the Jelly Belly mascot.
WE ARE SO FUCKING PAC! 🗣️🔥
I used to binge watch Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on Netflix when I was younger.
the fact pac man and the ghostly adventures takes place in the dystopian future of pac-man world, it scares me.
It’s so funny that you made a video on these game considering that just 2 weeks ago, I went through the misfortune of beating the first game. As a ghostly adventures 1 connoisseur, I can agree with your points and enjoyed it :)
Handler Walter: Time to work, 621...That unidentified round yellow lifeform stands in the way of the coral deposits...Destroy it, now.
0:27 me when the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team cameo
I remember loving this show as a kid. I was a very special child
