Square One TV: Mathman: Glitch eats Pentagons

[CaptainElevator42189]

Pentagon=Polygon with 5 sides.

Hexagon=Polygon with 6 sides.

[dirtyboy830]

Apparently, one person can't count to five.

[SirPercivalGallant]

Bwahahahaa  Mathman's revenge!

[rswan5]

Mathroom???

I know it's not the game world's version of the bathroom because that gag's in another Mathman episode. What is it and what was Mathman doing in there?! Was he in a meeting with Dirk Niblick & George Frankly, what?!

[livefree75]

I remember figuring out how to play that "losing" sound effect on a Yamaha DX-7 Keyboard.

[ctchampagne]

Watching this as a kid I was really disappointed when he got that one wrong.

[TheCastellan]

Karma's a bitch, ain't it, Mr. Glitch? XD

[gladfan1989]

I always loved it when the tables were turned. Mathman could extract some revenge.

[truebnb]

Mathman was hungry when he came out of the mathroom lol

[Pikachuiscool]

I wonder what those numbers and shapes taste like...

[BLANKNOTING]

@1000davy

@Johnpicha

You Start Work That...

3-D Animation...

Thank You...

[MiddleEasternBorder]

Lol! It's the Revenge of Mathman! XD

[Michaelbell2008]

lol game over Mr glitch

[culturaleyes]

this is retrotastic! and the vintage synth sounds are fricken sweet

[nekojima1987]

Is it me, or does Glitch sound a bit like Tom Waits?

[JASONZx6R]

hes in the mathroom...LMAO

[gmodfan11]

Another Pentagon... NOM

[Madness832]

Makes me wonder, though, why Mr. Glitch didn't eat the plus & minus signs.

[jlthrift]

Mathman was coming back from taking a shower after getting smashed by USC... when he encounters Northwestern.

[zakiechan]

The "brrrrr" sounds at 1:11 sounds like the "brrrrr" sound on the Inception trailer lol

[ConnDevi88]

Is Mathman also Teeny Little Super Guy?

[zakiechan]

@ConnDevi88 That's what I was thinking too.

[gladfan1989]

I always loved it when Mr. Glitch gets pwned!

[jhillst]

Jim Thurman was an educational genius. Shame he's no longer with us.

[Ian16545]

And so Mathman decides to finish Mr. Glitch's task from there...

[lindieinred]

wow, i used to love this show. but it was always hard to find it on tv.

[irishdan9]

Sweet ..... !

[Stoneth]

Ha ha ha. He's in the mathroom.

[illuminatioracle]

mr glitch is a hidden character

[uxbnkuribo]

"I'll go up here." *comes back* "I don't like it out there."

[SkuldChan42]

Yeah whoever did the voices for glitch was brilliant.

[BenJabituya]

GAME OVER, MR. GLITCH!

[AnimationDiana]

I think Glitch means to say, "He (Mathman) is in the bathroom."

[jtomally9681]

I like Mr. Glitches music as he moves around too.

[night524]

Mr. Glitch's music is actually the same! The same music is heard with Mathman, only it's not heard as well because he's constantly saying "Mathman" all the time hehe.

[atarian2049]

Indeed.  Plus, Mathman's footsteps are heard as well, providing that percussive beat. Since Mr. Glitch doesn't have feet, all we hear are the notes.

[vorsdec]

thats good for mr glitch that he got eaten by mathman.

[kkrivers79]

I LOVE Square One TV with a passion! Especially with clips of Mathman and Mathnet! Not to mention,But Who's Counting as well!

[Soulprodisiac]

Why did i laugh when he said ''He's in the Mathroom '' LOL Im sorry but it was hella funny.

[hsuehhs]

I think they said Mathroom as in he is in the bathroom.

[spindalis79]

@Soulprodisiac Yeah Mathman was finding numbers that were a multiple of "Number 2!"

[tsukasathetwinblade]

Play by the rules, get eaten by the rules.

[jennileerose]

Indeed.

[RpKingman]

Wow! I absolutely cannot believe this! I haven't seen this in 20 years. Completely forgot about it. I would have never, ever remembered it. But now the doorway is opened in my memory. Makes me wonder just how much of my childhood is still in my brain somewhere.

[chuninofcool]

Thank you PBS!

[popoff21]

Another thing Math man finally gets his revenge

[popoff21]

I always liked square one, math man was always my favorite part of the show

[km9OOO]

I don't know if Mathman always ended up losing, but I remember we'd always be irritated by his stupidity when he made a wrong decision. Oh, Mathman, what will ever do with you?

[disgrl4]

OMGGGGGG I forgot about this show!!!! Whoa, serious memory lane trip now...

[kajeki]

i watched square one....eventually i graduated from Cornell. give it up to PBS!

I'm glad mathman got revenge in this one!

[stevekwik]

i have to agree, there is something really scary about this segment...i remember blocking my ears when it came on when i was a kid. i think the sound FX and music are really ominous. the "decision" music sounds like Halloween. and the way the Glitch's eyes roll...its all very creepy to me now!

[ComradeSephiroth]

The scariest one was where a larger-sized Glitch just ate Mathman at the start without giving the game a chance to play out...I think it was "decimals greater than 1."

[sideslide23]

this is my favorit part of square one, I think mathman would make it a great video game for nintendo wii

[Marsie000]

Ha ha!! It's a shame that nothing is ever as entertaining when you see it years later.

[imnofx]

holyb-@// this shit was forgoten till now i useto love coming home from school and watching sq1

[ali87sa]

This gave me the creeps as a kid :S

[girlsixdiva]

It totally sucks that they don't have shows like this on PBS anymore.

[DarkXAngel5]

OMFG i remember this, okay now im not going to be able to sleep again........

[cardy298]

yeah, this is definitely creepier than I remember. And Glitch's voice just screams "HI I'M A PEDOPHILE GET IN MY UNMARKED VAN FULL OF ACTION FIGURES."

[machinesbreathe]

Wait?!?! Somebody gave you thumbs down? Just because your observation inpugns upon their tender, sacred childhood recollection?

In my youth, I regarded this segment as merely obnoxious, as any sort of educational slant placed on video game cliches of the day were.

But with the dankness of the backdrop, the atmospheric sounds, and that VOICE of Glitch's, I agree wholeheartedly.

[djmarkcotter]

haha

[porshaking]

this shit gave me the creeps!

nightmares n junk. :(

[atarian2049]

Glitch gets a taste of his own medicine. I loved this segment.

[thisbeautyisbrainy]

This used to terrify me, I would even leave the room until it was over ;p

[rubino83]

Way to show up to work on time without a word, Mathman!

[Bluetailvappy]

In the end, Mathman is going back to the Math room because Glitch causes indigestion.

[unclefestus]

No, he's in the mathroom...

HAHA I should have used that one in math class in high school.

[funkmike]

So Mathman finally got to eat the tornado dude--serves him right.

[mishalmooremusic]

this brings back so many memories!

[Y2p731]

The announcer's voice sounds like Don Adams.

[Hadra568]

You're right sure sounds like him, can't find any information if it is though

[dajwe216]

@Y2p731 Mathman, would you believe your mission is to eat any number that is a multiple of 99.

[wschmrdr]

You don't by any chance have the episode with Mathdog, do you?

[jookiyaya]

when i was little this scared me so much

[BrainRemovalD3vice]

This show gave me crazy nightmares. It ruined me

[colemanocd]

Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one who this freaked out! This Mathman bit always gave me nightmares. It's funny looking back on it now that I'm 25, lol. Is it just me, or does this sound like music that could be on that movie "Videodrome" with James Woods?

[aneveningrose]

omg it scared me too when I was a kid!

[dmuth]

Nobody f*cks with Mathman.

[DimeraFan28]

Wow. I Remember That.

I Think Glitch Is So Funny.

[dynamiteattraction4]

I feel like someone just shit in my eye sockets.

[dwlightfoot]

Mathman is in the Mathroom! LOL good stuff

[theone2225]

lol wow i remember this!

[678BUMPERLOVER]

omg this was my favotie math skit when mr glitch finally gets his ass kicked

[Ligaya1980]

Math Man! Math Man! Math Man!!!!

=)

[gokufievel]

It's about time Mathman got revenge!

Bring this show back. Even for the adults. How about College Mathman! Square One!

[GrinningGoku]

lulz. Fail!

[foxofthesouth3]

Glitch was not using HIS noodle now was he?!

[AarHan3]

YAY! My, how the tables have FINALLY turned. TAKE THAT, GLITCH!!!

[ndingo]

have you got the one where mathman is out waking his dog? and Glitch takes his place

i think it was a true or false game

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

forget i said that.

[Noraa972]

i found it pretty amusing that they used the bonus round timer from wheel of fortune in the background. well sorta

[sarahjoy33]

I always found the tornado oddly disturbing.

[radiofan6872]

So did I; the whole thing frightened me, but looking back on it, I think the synth lines are the culprit. It's easy to scare a four year old.

[CaptainSchmuck]

I like this one because Mathman gets to eat Mr. Glitch.

[wattamack4]

Lol,that's cool.R.I.P. Jim Thurman,you rocked our worled.

[JPPT1974]

I think that would be great. Loved to see the tables finally turned on Mr Glitch! LOL!

[wishingstar22]

Never saw that one before. A refreshing change.

[emilysong2000]

This would've been a killer video game.

[BenJabituya]

Special request: Upload more Mathman vids and Pauline's Perilous Pyramid segments!

[tiradorfranco2]

Apparently Mathman is a pretty popular dude! I will try and find other clips but chances are this is the only one I have... (though there are quite a few available on youtube).

[fieldsfan336]

"He's in the Mathroom", I love it!

[knuclear200x]

....uhmm...kk...uh whats he doing...mathterb-uh u know what im too tired to be funny im going to sleep now.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

LOL NUCLEAR!

[knuclear200x]

ah someone gets it.

[Tryco2]

id really like to see this on a console or pc game

[AmyKay01]

he's in the mathroom... clever! :-D

[patrickballoonman]

Now if only "Mathman" was an actual video game for Nintendo, Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. Portions of the proceeds would've gone to support Public Television.

[88HJS]

Too bad... I'd have loved to play this game in real life. (Plus, I'd get to support PBS without my mother hanging up the phone on me - interestingly, this event in my life happened about the same time "Square One TV" ended.)

[TonyDuMont]

I like this one. Great ending. How come we never actually saw Mathman go into the columns on the left and right sides?
