Today's hottest game video: Live-action Pac-Man

by Zack Stern { Jan 4th 2007 at 12:00AM }

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.

That was hilarious! Ikezo means "lets go!" thats all I know..

Shouldn't that be Ikimashoo?

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.
