Today's most-watched YouTube game video is a live-action recreation of Pac-Man. A skit on a Japanese comedy show, some of the jokes are missed in translation; however, the international languages of physical comedy, crazy costumes, and that yellow puck character speak to any gamer. There's even Pac-Man violence, something we all understand, regardless of nationality.Watch the video after the break.

Japanese TV is FULL of things like this. They have silly shows 24/7, only interrupted by hours of food-tasting programs and the occasional soap series.

I saw this on www.TvinJapan.com yesterday. It was funny but made no sense to me. Seemed pretty old for japanese comedy.

Shouldn't that be Ikimashoo?
ByungSuk @ Jan 7th 2007 12:26AM

Hajj @ Jan 4th 2007 5:09AM
Both are correct. Ikimashoo however is more polite.

I dunno, PacManhattan seems inherently funnier to me, since the costumes are a lot simpler and they're doing it in the middle of New York City. But that's just me.

Agreed with #9, PacManhattan is the original and best. Been stopping by there once every few months hoping to see another update, but sadly not :(
