Ghost of a Chance

[BigJimbo106]

I grew up with this, I wish I could find the dvds for my kids

[ghariiscool]

84 are real ones. the other 5 are fakes!

[ghariiscool]

this scared the hell out of me as a kid. i always loved this song though lol

[orima357]

Holy CRAP, 240p.

[BeantownScammyD1983]

Brings me back to when i was 8!

[tnafan67]

michael jackson

[Flamsterette]

Loved this song!

[AppreciateMuch]

I loved this

[akilmer]

This has stuck in my head for 20 years, every time someone said the word "probability". Now I've heard the song again finally. I love the 21st century!

[lukewarmguy]

@akilmer I remember this from when I was a kid too. This song also pops up in my head whenever I hear the word "probability". I thought I was the only one. I can't believe this is on YouTube. I wish there were more shows like Square One still on TV.

[oogrooq]

Freaked out as a kid, but a civil engineer/ Math instructor as an adult.

Long live Square One Television.

[KarlBonner1982]

Probability's been mistreating me lately. I've been trying to find a magic spell in Final Fantasy 4, and there's a 1/64 chance that an item dropped after the battle will be that spell.  But I'm up to 177 item drops and no spell yet! Only a 6.2% chance that you'd have luck that bad.

[terracottapie]

What an evil vampire. He shorted the guy ten cents and didn't even tip.

[DizzyedUpGirl]

Uhhhh, break the windows on the door. Walk out. Freedom.

[DizzyedUpGirl]

I remembered this song. I ended up becoming a pizza delivery girl and I am glad this never happened to me. I loved this show.

[markab26]

I loved this when I was a kid, I am glad I found it again

[funkmike]

Probability that the vampire was going to stiff him on his tip: 1 in 1.

[culturaleyes]

this was a scary skit when I was 4, but still my favorite because of the music

[snowangelnc]

I can't believe it; with all of the things that I've probably forgotten since yesterday, after all these years I still remembered that the pizza cost $14.10?!

[starkid77]

You know, some of these songs on Square One could've been real hits on the radio!

[bdavids28]

Great to hear Reg. is still getting some work! He is the man. And @georgenoory...Rush or Square One, you can't go wrong either way. Roll The Bones, my friend...

[georgenoory]

this isn't rush..

[darryldelgado]

I still sing this song in my head!!!

Square one was awesome.

[snootylittlecutie]

i totally remember this song and the concept...

i still think of it from time to time..

WHY CAN'T TV BE LIKE THIS NOW?

[omaraty009]

OMG A HUGE PIXEL IS BLOCKING MY SCREEN!

[eyeseemoney09]

he was eating the pizza and fed some to snakes but at the end he still had a whole pizza

[Trancemaster2052]

Man oh man does this feel like forever ago. This was one of the first television shows I remember watching as a kid. I was only like 3 or 4 when I started watching this.

[Squall1982]

I'm 28 and this still brings back good memories. Hooray for nostalgia.

[veomega05]

I cant believe someone saved a copy of this, amazing!

[da73]

haha this video rocks! that mummy used to scare me! lol

[KateKintail]

Thank you thank you thank you for uploading this! It was my very favorite sketch from Square One and I've been wanting to see it again for decades! Thank you! *sings along*

[TheSublime79]

I cannot believe someone uploaded this... I haven't seen it since I was 10. You guys rock!

[prunch72]

What is this mid 80's drivel? this is the kind of rubbish Vincent Hanley subjected Irish teenagers to Sunday afternoons with his MT USA. Young people desperate for quality well written relivent music and this is what they got?... How dare this trash share the same title as Dublin band The Blades cracking single..... I'm insulted.

[DiceMan4221]

@prunch72

This show was only the best educational show ever created. No one cares about your band who ripped off both Square One and Bing Crosby, and even less than no one cares you are insulted.

[ThacherJames]

More importantly, prunch, the point of Square One was to have fun with math. Isn't it rather churlish to take it so seriously?

[prunch72]

OK everyone, i appreciate the fact that this was 'educational', so enough replies in defence of. Good memories for some, but not for all. Isn't this what public comment forums are for? to express a view or opinion (without profanity)

[bdavids28]

I love the actors from this show! I often wonder what they are all doing today. Over the years when I've recognized one of them in something else, like Reg Cathy in "The Mask," I go wild!

[krishnm]

@bdavids28 the dude who plays the "Dracula" -like mastermind in this video had a recurring role in the Wire on HBO.

[Mukta101]

I am so grateful to see this. I am 31 and this song still gets stuck in my head sometimes. I never thought I would see it again.

[melskunk]

@Mukta101 Same here! 31 + stuck in my head

"PROBABILITY...! Don't you mess with me!"

[starkid77]

@Mukta101 Me too, I'm so happy this is up here!

[willoWolf8]

@Mukta101 Wow, I thought I was the only one! It's been about 20 years since I've seen this and it gets stuck in my head as well. It's the reason I looked it up just now. :) Great minds....

[NightGallery]

Awesome!

[Plastikfantastik]

I can't thank you enough for uploading this!!

[TheMilanese1]

hey idiota i can speak / spell perfectly well in english & your "italiano" is all wrong . which dialecta are you speaking in ? i am from milano & you got 1 word correct. ;) well done now ottenga scopato. grazie molto. shit you live on this fucking thing 2007 videos !!!!! get a fucking life you prick ,redneck cousin fucker , ....

[tyrannosaurusburke]

Wow, this brings back memories. I remember that woman who chases the pizza man out scared me as a kid. When is this show going to be on DVD?

[DaSurreal1da]

Oh Snap, Thats the political advisor for Carcetti in the Wire.

[georgenoory]

what the fuck is this, i wanted the rush song

[TheBratKingJareth]

This was an educational song from an eighties / nineties PBS show. It's told in the video description but that requires reading.

[georgenoory]

I am quite capable of reading you pompous moron, it was a rhetorical statement.

[hsuehhs]

If Iwere that pizza boy I would Quit my job and work for Ghostbusters and try Revenage on the Haunted house

[pucpimp]

Talk about completely scaring the shit out of a kid

[u2bbastard]

@pucpimp And that's why we were a more well-adjusted generation than these newer ones.

[PhantomFox77]

This was a great show, I miss it.

[wesleyrs83]

Dude me too, I dreaded that this would come on when I watched Square One.

[meprice82]

this scared the crap out of me as a kid!

[ZogDawg]

The mummy part used to creep me out.

[JXMintz]

haha, I loved this clip! Thanks for posting this! BTW, I just KNOW there is a real song with this same melody! It's not "Somebody's Watching Me" as somebody else suggested, but it is a song from the 80's.. unless I'm imagining things.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Somebody's watching me is from the eighties.

[randombutler]

Easily the thing I associate most with Square One, with a close second and third being Mathman and Mathnet.

[kajeki]

the singing on this video is hilarious!

[djmarkcotter]

"Ghost of a Chance," a Thriller parody about a pizza boy gambling on his life when he delivers to a haunted house.

[stella2613]

this is my favorite square one sketch of all time! thanks

[TimDJ84]

I knew it!That is Reg E Cathey...haha hes on The Wire now

[OxBiglyV01]

I think the video is a parody of "Somebody's Watching Me"

[burster8boostar]

:| ghost hunters make you feel that way. this one dont make me feel it

[girlsixdiva]

Hey you know what; if that pizza guy hadn't gone inside the house he wouldn't have gotten himself into that mess in the first place! LOL

[girlsixdiva]

Wow this is the best one of them all...it was creepy but good! The song used to stick in my head!

[lesliekwan80]

I used to be scared of this video.

[NotEvenScience]

So did I! The mummy was the worst.

Thank you to the person who posted this; I've been looking for it forever.

[tk0173]

ok this is not the Rush song I was looking for LOL. Cool vid tho. Takes me back.

[Ratmus1]

This is great! I wanted to see this for years! Thanks for posting this!

[shedininja001]

yay fav

[vicarious2009]

45 fake rattle snakes, what the hell! Great vid

[mailman20022005]

This is hands down the BEST VIDEO EVER!!!! Thx for posting it.

[pistolsforpandas]

Great, great video. I've been waiting around twenty years for this.

[WeMustBeStopped]

Jesus, has it really been that long ago? Yikes!

[veevs]

Wow, this is a lot scarier than I remember! "Probability, don't you mess with me!"  I definitely have sung this many times.

[Hetaconcherie]

So this is why I remembered a pizza delivery guy in Thriller!

[lahotcha42]

*drools* This is my fave next to 'The Angle Dance'.

Best kids show ever!

[vampeal7]

This video creeped me and my friends out when we saw it, we kept wondering if the poor guy ever got out of the place.

Square One kinda backfired though, instead of coming home and doing our math homework we watched it instead, didn't learn a thing.

[MissLori]

Hahahaha!! This was my favorite show back in the day but I don't think I learned a damned thing from it!!

[DragonLord1975]

Supposed to be in the "Thriller" era. A friend of mine back in school loved it.

[narfy]

I had forgotten about this one.. wow. Reliving part of my childhood watching this.. haha.. it brings me back. :c)

[thunderstormer83]

Wow, this and Tessalations are what I hear when I go to sleep at night. I thought I"d never see it again!!!

[JCStrickland]

Tessalations?

[myriamdraft]

Amazing how things stay in your mind for 20 years!!! I loved this one!!!! Thank you for posting it. They really need to make DVDs of this so kids can learn math!

[Lymmar]

8% of my love! 8% of my love!

[nategoode]

Ahhh, this brings back memories... I can't find any mathnet episodes anywhere, that was always my favorite part lol

[greendragon2000]

Dear Lord...I officially feel so old right now....

[MacPrince]

Wow. When I was a wee lad, (so wee that I shouldn't have been watching Square One), this segment gave me nightmares, but I couldn't remember what it was from. It's true: everything really is on the Internet.

[idicgrrl]

OMG that brought back memories! WOW!! Anyone remember this one? : We're talkin' 'bout Tessalations... Oooo...Tessalations!

 Geometric-shape sensations Ooooo...Tessalations!

Man, am I *showing* my age!!!

Thanks abraxmajer! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! :)

[MGHSHour2]

and more mathman and more full episodes!

[InspectorHound2]

Square One should seriously be released on DVD. They'd make a mint. This song was genius--I remember being genuinely frightened by both the mummy and the ending, and the lyrics are clever, too.

[WilliePoker]

The melody and instrumentation remind me of Bananarama's "Cruel Summer", which was heard in the movie "Karate Kid". But I must admit, the cackling ghost seems to be an emulation of Vincent Price's recitation in "Thriller".

Thanks for posting this.

[miiket67]

i agree,square one tv should released on dvd i would buy them.

[blwant]

I am so relieved to know that plenty of other people remember this. I am 28 years old, and this song has gotten stuck in my head every so often throughout the years. I even remembered the 1/12 part ar the end. Wow.

[Sacryfix]

My favorie clip from Square one as a kid.

[charolastracharolo]

Oh MAN, this kicked ass. (The artist is credited at the end as Five Factorial - hah!) I had forgotten about this one but it all came right back...

[Mathnetgirl]

Thanks for adding this; I remember thinking this was a fun "Somebody's Watching Me" kind of spoof and loved it. :@ )

[BenJabituya]

The melody was more of a "Thriller" spoof~

[JoelsHitShow]

upload more SQUARE ONE TV stuff!

[vortmax1981]

I remember this, probably best of anything from Square One. Good to see it on here! Thanks :D
