Mathman Glitch 5x + 2

[@FormulaPunRacer]

When I was a kid, I loved these Mathman skits so much, that I thought, for a time, that there was a Mathman video game. Even now, I wish there was because that would be soooooo coooool.

[@jhillst]

There was a computer game in the '80s called "Number Munchers" that was a bit similar.

[@fargeeks]

@@jhillst I played the word munchers version I liked the cutscenes for a apple 2 game that was on a big floppy disk

[@jhillst]

@@fargeeks I played that game in elementary school also (circa 1988). Those "Troggle" characters were awesome....a classmate and I used to draw cartoons of them.

[@goneutt]

You'll note the standardized test skill they were imparting. You can work the problems by reasoning them out, or jump in and get tore up by glitch. Thank's Square 1, I just got my passing grade from the NCEES FE exam thanks to that kind of skill. I know nothing about engineering, but they think I do due to superior test taking skills.

[@sapientiaeultio]

thank you for making my day :) Used to love this as a kid.

[@dbpooper7512]

Well that was unexpectedly horrifying.

[@ndingo]

My left ear enjoyed this

[@jtomally9681]

I remember the one when Mathman had to eat multiples of 4. I think he still lost.

[@funkmike]

Ironically enough, a lot of my math teachers had that very same disposition.

[@CharityIchiban]

i always expect it to be a lot more graphic when Glitch catches Mathman, like he just touches him and it's game over, as a kid it was so scary that when i re-watched it I was expecting him to like chew off his legs and stuff.

[@terrybardy7294]

I've got the Math man fever!

[@SuperTrainStationH]

When I was a small child these Mathman cartoons would scare the crap out of me, I used to hide in the wardrobe and cry my eyes out until Mom changed the channel. :p

[@RABBIDGamfan]

It's so hard to find good educational shows for non-toddlers on American television these days. I still think that refocusing PBS Kids to a younger age group was a mistake.

[@vuuvovuuv]

god mathman used to scare the CRAP out of me and i have no idea why. weird kid.

[@WobblesandBean]

vuuvovuuv Me, too!

[@Groovebot3k]

@@WobblesandBean I think the sound effects of howling wind and stuff from Glitch when he gets a wrong answer with his panic are what do it... I definitely remember being unsettled back in the day at least.

[@untexan]

It sounds like Glitch is talking about getting his car buffed at the end.

[@Marbles471]

It used to crack me up the time when Mathman won a free game and Glitch muttered "One of these days I'LL win a free game. Then I'll sell it!" :)

[@ThunderFist1978]

@Neverhoodian If that hasn't been uploaded yet, I hope someone does eventually! I want to see that!

[@YaoiHuntressEarth]

This one creeped me out when I was little.

[@gmodfan11]

mr. glitch one broke my game! GLITCH

[@amd0576]

Of course when he's being chased he gets all nervous.. MATHMAN! MATHMAN! MATHMAN! MATHMAN!

[@djtrixen]

Blackstone! I miss this show...

[@aeroromero]

Brings back so many memories. This was featured on 321 Contact, wasn't it?

[@emilysong2000]

I've forgotten about Glitch. He seems funny.

[@mets2128]

if mathman had eaten 17 instead of 25 he would have gotten a free game mathman, mathman, mathman

[@wakeman00is00biased]

Maybe this is why I had math anxiety. Im 40 now and that crack head tornado still makes me feel un easy

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

mathman did a good job of avoiding mr. glitch during the chase.

[@markheying2830]

Also if I remember, most of the time when Mr. Glitch chases & then eats Mathman, Mathman would usually get the first 2 right & the third one wrong.

[@HollyLetson]

I loved the "Mathman" segment as child. Still do.

[@scottjulie27]

Its rare that Mathman beats Mr. Glitch. :))))

[@tyrese3745]

+scottjulie27 Just not at this game, I'm afraid.

[@AnimationDiana]

I found out that Mathman's helmet is the football helmet used by the Michigan Wolverines.

[@russellcastine2914]

Is zero a multiple of 5 (0x5)? If not, the only other logical answer would be 17 which is (3x5)+2.

[@HollyLetson]

Mathman was my favorite part of *Square One*, but I also liked *Mathnet* as well.

[@rjg686ProscrastiNation]

0:53 tornado sounds like he said "get er done"

[@plateshutoverlock]

@plateshutoverlock he would not be able to get to the dots there

[@juan833blue]

17 is 2 more than a multiple of 5 (5x3) equals 15+2 equals 17.

[@BenJabituya]

5 people got eaten by Mr. Glitch!

[@jhillst]

It's similar to the way the ghosts in Pac-Man "eat" Pac-Man -- they just hover him while Pac-Man's image de-pixelates and fades away.

[@Defender78]

what kind of animation was used to create the Mathman sequences?

[@FoolyCoolyx989]

Then when it was over I'd head over to an arcade, play 'PacMan' and forget everything I saw on this show.

[@kakashi76767]

some math books teach that zero cannot be a multiple, but I think that it is. It cannot be considered a prime number, but it can be a multiple of every integer.

[@captainfantastic9158]

That combination yelp and flip he did after 78: XD!!!

[@fahbs]

Killing Mathman really is the only joy in Glitch's life. After it's done though, you can really hear it in his voice that he's on his way home to drink himself into a depressed stupor.

[@HEBisreal]

I love Mathman!

[@afriendofbean]

I always thought that if Mr. Glitch was going to eat Mathman if Mathman was wrong, why does Mathman disappear when Mr. Glitch touches him when it should be showing Mr. Glitch eating him where Mr. Glitch opens his mouth very wide and gets Mathman inside and eats him?

[@robinbartlett1338]

Maceman! Maceman! Maceman! Maceman! Oh yeah uhh Greme Gremps

[@jr.jackrabbit10]

And Arin was all like "I hope somebody gets that reference." I think a lot of people learned about Mathman from that one episode.

[@jhillst]

Glitch: "Needed my carb." Obviously this is pre-Atkins craze.

[@corjonbett]

Need a bicarb.... As in, needs some baking soda. he's bloated

[@Enchurito]

Is the announcer the same guy who did the voice of inspector gadget?

[@unclefestus]

What does Glitch say at the end? I can't make it out.

[@KororaPenguin]

He needs a bicarb. Apparently Mathman gave him instant indigestion.

[@bjmbuckeye86]

Yeah I just went on Wikipedia, and two of the creators/writers graduated from Michigan

[@thetheRedundant]

That chase was always kind of creepy.

[@ooogyman]

@CaptainElevator42189 You forgot 2. 5 x 0 + 2 = 2.

[@jhillst]

He would have had to have eaten 2 also. 0 is also a multiple of 5.

[@corjonbett]

@plateshutoverlock 5 times 0 is 0.

[@shadyparadox]

Every integer divides into zero.

[@PCCphoenix]

1:21--Did you really think we'd let you get away with that?

[@Beany695]

does anyone know what mr glitch says at the end "me and my carva" ????

[@corjonbett]

Need a bicarb

[@Beany695]

@@corjonbett HAH. I forgot about this lol. it was 13 years ago. but better late then never :)

[@NathanJKaye]

Perhaps you were thinking of Number Munchers.

[@BigBlueBeast]

I used to love when Mathman would lose!

[@kakashi76767]

actually, now that i think about it, if zero is considered a multiple of every number there can be no prime numbers, since a prime number can only be divided evenly by itself and 1. So if we are counting 0 as a multiple of say, 7, 7 could not be prime because it could be divided evenly by 1, 7 and 0. Although I guess that is another reason why you are not supposed to divide by zero and it considered an illegitimate operation.... Ah, what am i talking about? The Glitch should just eat me.

[@dmuth]

This game made me scared of tornadoes. :-(

[@EdOscuro]

I swear I heard that too.

[@Lawless66007]

@illuminatioracle Mathman always won. He almost never lost. I remember cuz I would always wait for him to lose to see what happens.

[@jjeanniton]

In more modern language Mathman must eat all natural numbers which are 2 modulo 5.

[@ThunderFist1978]

Was there ever a time when MathMan won?

[@quizmaster85]

Two occasions at least.

[@laramaldonado4223]

I scared of mathman and the tornado

[@Dogar230]

wtf why the hell was glitch moving away from Mathman at 1:28??

[@tyrannosaurusburke]

Mathman ate all the multiples of 5 plus 2. Shouldn’t he have automatically won?

[@RABBIDGamfan]

Wait a minute... I guess you can find good educational shows for adults.

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

What does glitch mutter at the end of the video?

[@jordanthomas7304]

Pow!

[@ComradeSephiroth]

Actually he had to get the 2 also, since 0 is a multiple of 5. Mathman never wins when there are more than three good numbers to eat.

[@crazyoneone]

Yeah there was a time that he got a free game and was able to go all the way through the board

[@zughiaq]

One time, Mathman cleared the board and got a free game. However in that game Glitch ate Mathman while the Narrator was still explaining the rules.

[@phoebexzim7814]

Yeah that might've been the 16th episode where glitch ate mathman while the narrator was still explaining the rules.

[@crazyoneone]

wait 5x+ 2? that's not just multiplication , that's algebra level there!

[@plateshutoverlock]

The game is unwinnable. look at the space on the left hand side of the screen, where it says 61 and 2. 0 would not be considered a multiple of 5

[@500deegrez]

nothing multiplied by zero is not zero. therefore zero is not a multiple of anything.

[@radix9523]

Wow, I remember this.

[@zelpar]

They really need to bring shows like this instead of the bull shit garbage that they show on stations like Cartoon Network when young kids are up and watching these shows. Honestly when my sister and I were little we loved these shows, but hey what do I know.

[@ThunderFist1978]

@tnafan67 Um, Pac-Man was the 80s.

[@KarlBonner1982]

But algebraic titles are so much sexier.

[@dunetiger]

This is perhaps the cruelest representation of autistic people I've ever seen. I'm horribly offended and will be starting an online petition. Please sign it!

[@russellcastine2914]

The ignorant must be punished! Hello!!! It is a little obvious that 25 is a multiple of 5. Mathman should have targeted numbers that ended with either a 2 or a 7.

[@eviscero]

What did he say at the end?

[@corjonbett]

Need a bicarb....

[@atester42]

Number Munchers. I have it for Apple II emulator.

[@Beany695]

oh ok. so basically, he needs anti acid cause mathman gave him indegestion?

[@dunetiger]

@winxclublover Yes. Football is incredibly offensive. I have petitions against them, too. I also want to ban hockey and motorcycles. Please sign!

[@kakashi76767]

I guess you didn't read my second comment.

[@amshg21]

agree ,,

[@MattBurosh]

@zelpar You are certainly freakin' right!...and to extend the rant to other areas, I hate how Yugioh and Pokemon took the brains and creativity out of role playing with fucking action figures and other shit. Now, it's like kids don't know how to fight with GI Joes, but only how to read cards and systematically subtract "damage points"...Pathetic.

[@shaheed79]

Dang mathman was pretty dumb. Why did I like him so much?

[@IzludeTingel]

one of these days i'm gonna get a free game and sell it...

[@lilg8017]

1:08

[@MVillani1985]

Hey I remember this!

[@geekfest2000]

@dunetiger Are you kidding? There are way crueller things than this. This is a harmless TV show. KZbin's full of offensive stuff - leave Square One alone and go after those who really go out of their way to offend.

[@copyright1982]

I'm glad Mathman gets eaten in this one, he's fucking annoying. "MathmanMathmanMathmanMathman" ugh

[@illuminatioracle]

mathman is depressing. he almost never won. not encouraging for kids looking to understand math.
