Mathman Compliation

[@DJDizzyStorms]

Math man was one of my favorite skits from this.

[@tweete56]

Was one of my favorites too. Any episode when they didnt have Mathman I was like "awwwww man". Such was life for a 8 year old me lol

[@Sergeant26]

Loved the voice actor for Mr. Glitch! He always cracked me up!

[@NeonPegasus1979]

"Play by the rules, or get eaten by the rules" Glitch is the best :)

[@VJ87G]

Well Mr. Glitch should took his own advice when he got eaten by a Giant Mathman.

[@colinmackinnon696]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS UP. NOSTALGIA LEVELS OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@allijo514]

Simple, basic effects and technology, and still more memorable than anything put out today

[@bmaze35640]

10:14 “Nice to be back for another season.”

[@SuperNormalMan]

I remember this...I'm glad to see this wasn't just a figment of my imagination.

[@vladdchambers8382]

This was back when I was 8 or 9, on PBS after school, after they showed where in the world is Carmen San Diego.

[@mam162]

Glitch is actually a good sport in the first segment--against his interests, he repeatedly warns Mathman not to monologue so long he gets disqualified.

[@BenJabituya]

Not to mention, get eaten.

[@corjonbett]

And once he realises Mathy isn't gonna shut up, he tricks him into walking away from the answer.

[@DreamDancer82]

I always considered that more to be gloating.

[@harrystoller4147]

If this was a real video game, I’d help him do everything correctly. An old classmate of mine used to have “Square One TV” on NES. Whoever has it, please post on KZbin.

[@jeprice08]

6:14 - 6:20 Mathman, it's very simple! Any number that ends with a 0 or a 5 is a multiple of 5.

[@BJI82a]

They need to bring back this series. When I was young this was a cool way to learn about math I loved mathman they really should have kept the show running kids could understand things because they made it cool.

[@DreamDancer82]

I enjoyed the show, but when I watched it, it kind of went over my head. My guess was because I was in the first grade when I started watching it, and I think the show was meant for upper elementary school and middle school.

[@damin9913]

I miss this so much used to rush home from school to watch this

[@Firewizard23]

Am I the only one who got kinda freaked out by Mathman as a kid?

[@battybuddy]

Firewizard23 I did too. scared me

[@DreamDancer82]

To be completely honest, I was a little freaked out by these segments when I was little, too. I think it was because of Mr. Glitch, I don't really remember.

[@battybuddy]

***** I liked it, but I understand where you're coming from.

[@hockeyref21]

It scared the living daylights out of me when I was little omg

[@buhshmuh]

Firewizard23 to me the music was creepy as a kid

[@DesmondShannon87]

i'm gonna getcha i'm gonna getcha!

[@SaviourV]

As a kid, I got used to seeing Mathman lose. Never did see him win.

[@Waffletigercat]

He only won like... four or five times in the entire history of Square One.

[@jhillst]

@@Waffletigercat He won seven times: Multiples of 3, Factors of 24, Rectangles, Fractions Greater Than 1, Symmetrical Polygons, the inequality t+40

[@jonathanmyers9526]

8:06 "I won a free game, 'cause I'm smart! Whoo hoo!!" 😄😄😄LOL

[@funshine97]

Best line that Mathman has ever said! ❤

[@jeprice08]

He's only smart when his writers want him to be.

[@AutisticShyGuy]

me too

[@tvtimetravel]

"Don't preach! True or false!"

[@funshine97]

False!

[@andywolan]

Hey, Mathman actually beat one level.

[@michaellinabury7567]

Good to see Mathman was a Michigan fan. Go Blue.

[@mam162]

The show had several Michigan alumni on the production team, and it definitely showed. Square One gave several shout-outs to U-M (and Mathnet took some potshots at Michigan State and Ohio State).

[@DreamDancer82]

As long as he doesn't take potshots at the University of Maryland or the University of Alabama, it's all cool with me.

[@funshine97]

Someday I'm gonna see more Mathman episodes when I get a chance.

[@terrybardy2923]

I looove Math Man and Mr. Glitch!

[@vladdchambers8382]

Gotta admit, that last bit where glitch was the player getting eating by a giant math man reminds me of a nightmare I'd have as a child where I made a mistake, and suddenly it felt like I was being pulled away into some void

[@KororaPenguin]

9:44 -- Super Mario Brothers reference.

[@ThePhantomSafetyPin]

I forgot this existed until I found this video. This scared me as a child.

[@zyzzy-ko4ww]

6:15 Maybe Mathman saw 53 and thought 35 (=5x7) 8:36 If 19-z14 12:08 If 7+z

[@jstauffer4213]

Glitch sounds like Snuffy from Sesame Street. I don’t know if it’s the same actor, but it would make sense if it is since they’re both productions of The Children’s Television Workshop.

[@DreamDancer82]

Definitely not the same voice. Glitch was voiced by Jim Thurman, while Snuffy was Muppeteered by Martin P. Robinson.

[@antonspivack1436]

These come from 425, 101, 235, 141, 404, 210, 407, 237

[@cbsteffen]

Mathman is mathematical Pac-Man to me!

[@funshine97]

And it is.

[@kinemastercrossoverfans2007]

Mr. Glitch Is Funny!

[@BenJabituya]

Whenever Mr. Glitch played, I enjoyed seeing Mathman eat Glitch if he was wrong.

[@sonicandsallyforever]

Yeah. For everytime he ate Mathman, I liked it When Glitch got his.

[@kalonjirivers8902]

@@sonicandsallyforever It's so funny every time I watch this segment! It's even funnier when Mr. Glitch gets eaten by Mathman! Man, what a classic this is!

[@BuddyBoy600alt]

My favorite was the one MathMan has a dog.

[@kevinmcqueary7395]

has anyone ever thought of making an actual game based on this? or even one based on Pauline's Perilous Pyramid? or maybe even both?

[@mysecondemailatl]

I think number munchers was kinda close

[@damin9913]

Somebody should create this for Sega genesis

[@hpa2005]

"Ya ran out of time with all that preaching mathy, HA HA!" "Play by the rules, get eaten by the rules."

[@tyrese3745]

You in trouble, Glitch, because... 13:11 YEAH! Ha-ha-ha-ha-HA!!! All right, Mathman! Revenge never tasted so delicious.

[@KororaPenguin]

Glitch was out of luck anyway, because if you look at the board, -1 is a correct answer, but a program bug has wrong answers 0 and 12 blocking the ways to it.

[@Akoltin]

7:48 No, but it helps.

[@Christopher-N]

(3:34) 3 x 0 = 0 ... a problem that can't be directly reversed to get 3 as the quotient.

[@untexan]

Apparently there was one where Glitch didn’t even bother with the game and just ate Mathman right away.

[@animefan25]

I think that happens after Mathman won his first free game.

[@seanmontgomery801]

That was the decimals greater than 1.Glitch wouldn't even wait for the game to start,much less Mathman to try and find said decimals.

[@TheCastellan]

Gotta love Mr. Glitch :D

[@DreamDancer82]

+TheCastellan And I do.

[@ndingo]

I always disliked mr glitch he was always taunting poor mathman to lose

[@funshine97]

+nigel “ndingo” bates I know how you feel about that. It makes me feel sad and mad every time Mathman gets eaten by Mr. Glitch.

[@TheCastellan]

funshine97 Sometimes he brought it upon himself, though. Like when he have long speeches to Mr. Glitch...despite the fact he had a time limit for each answer.

[@funshine97]

Exactly.

[@hockeyref21]

i was petrified

[@evacharmaine3459]

Very cool 😍

[@KevinJohnson-rc8dw.]

Mathman eats Mr. Glitch at the end.

[@jeprice08]

5:27 - 5:29 You mind if I add one more word to what you've just said, Mr. Glitch? Dummy! Get it? Mathman is a "yummy dummy." Kids are going to love it, trust me!

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

Is it me or was Mr. Glitch trying to help out Mathman in the first skit?

[@DreamDancer82]

I always thought of that as Glitch gloating.

[@productions963]

Glitch got it at the end

[@DrLuke49]

Mathman has more intelligence in one gigabyte than any so-called politician around right now.

[@UltimaHolyFlare]

Why is Mathman wearing a Michigan Wolverines helmet?

[@DreamDancer82]

Beause the creators were either from Michigan, went to Michigan, or were just fans of the Michigan Wolverines, I don't remember. I read somewhere that it was one of those three.

[@jeopardy60611]

I always liked this because it looks like Pac-man. I remember one where he had to eat factors of 12, but that one didn't make it to this compilation.

[@DreamDancer82]

I couldn't find it. I just used various episodes I found from various sources.

[@corjonbett]

GOODBYE! Ohhh... *WRONG!!* WOE IS ME....! (After saying it was worth a try...) Ohh... No, it *WASN'T!!!*

[@lovemeg5186]

3:04 lol

[@ambisbambis7698]

I'm scared.

[@jessicafaith8439]

Is that Don Adams announcing?

[@DreamDancer82]

No, it's Jim Thurman, probably doing an impression of Don Adams.

[@Marbles471]

@@DreamDancer82: I feel like Thurman is kind of an unsung hero of TV. He really deserves far more recognition for his many talents and contributions than he gets. But he always kept such a low profile, and I guess that's part of the reason nobody knows who he is.

[@mikesilva3868]

😊

[@microbusss]

was this done by Paul Fierlinger? cause even the voices sound like the ones he used in his toons

[@Marbles471]

No, Fierlinger didn't make these, but that voice you're recognizing is Jim Thurman's. He was the co-creator and co-head writer of Square One, and worked on many other CTW series as a writer and a voice actor.

[@damin9913]

I miss CTW😢

[@Robert-lb7jq]

I am friend dog.

[@tvtimetravel]

I don't think any of the "true or false" games had one true statement mentioned.

[@corjonbett]

WEll, Glitch screwed up with answering true in one sketch

[@corjonbett]

There WAS one: True or false: Arithmetic involves addition, subtraction, multiplication and division"
