You all seemed to really enjoy my dive into the lore of the Rainforest Cafe, so I figured it was time to return to the real life FNAF that is Chuck E Cheese. I want to know the story behind the mascot. No, not the history of the restaurant. The story of the animatronics made to entertain us. Theorists, this story is TRAGIC!

  • great video! matpat included a lot of details that i rarely see talked about, however he did get a few details wrong. Chucks name was originally *ricky* rat, and it was actually Bushnells friend who bought the original costume, and a friend who told him having rat in the name was a bad idea. Bushnell also wasn’t a huge disney fan, but his daughter was. he used to work for disney parks and used their scrapped idea for an animatronic eat-in as a basis for Check E Cheese. as well as him wanting to make more money off of Atari games, as the versions of in-home games that existed at the time looked weird, and no one really wanted them. other than those small details (and a few more that didn’t matter much,) a great covering of Chucks history and story!

    @bevhe@bevhe Жыл бұрын
  • The arcade floor plan at my local Chuck E. Cheese was too small to fit a stage nearby, so the animatronics were in this separate room where it was dark until you chose a song using a little screen at the base of the stage with a little rolly ball. It was honestly quite terrifying.

  • I’m a former employee, and I was employed in 2020. I don’t know what happened, but after isolation, our district had some of the best financial success we’d had, according to a one-off comment from my manager. Don’t worry, Chuck’s won’t be going away anytime soon. The animatronics are being removed one location at a time, though, and being replaced by a dance floor, if those plans are still in place. The mascot costume isn’t being phased out, either, much to employees’ despise. The shows are just getting shorter and shorter to accommodate how laborious the shows are. We all learn Chuck’s backstory during training. Whether or not we actually make an effort to remember it is up to the individual. I always did, because I’m a lore-conscious cast member.

    • @@anotherrandomguy8871 This was in 2020, so business plans might have changed. I also don’t see them replacing the newer ones that have the 32 movement model. Also, a little boy petitioned this year to have them keep the animatronics. Idk how far that went, but I think CEC is pretty conflicted because the animatronics are extremely outdated (still run on floppy disks, each location gets a new floppy disk in the mail every few months with the new programming that corresponds to the animatronic model they have in place), but the animatronics are also a big part of the charm, especially because, based on my experience, many kids 10 and older come in excited because they’re fnaf fans and want to see a real animatronic.

  • Here’s another interesting theory idea: Chuck E. Cheese’s connections to Barney The Dinosaur! Because there’s actually quite a lot of them. 1. The original voice of Barney from 1988 to 2000, Bob West, also voiced Jasper and Pasqually around the same time. 2. Duncan Brennan, the voice of Chuck E from the early 90s to the early 2010s including in the Galaxy 5000 video, was also the singing voice for Barney for a short period of time. 3. One of the writers of Barney previously was a writer for Chuck E Cheese. 4. Chuck E Cheese was a sponsor for Barney on PBS for a long time!

There was one where they talked about the dog being a raceway driver, the chicken going out to take photos (on the side of the photo booth where you sat in a car with Chucke) and the band meeting the purple monster. Should totally see if you can find those to add to the lore.

  • Former Employee & fan of Chuck E Cheese, Munch was originally a MONSTER (NOT an Alien). He only became an Alien after being Rebranded during the current Rockstar era (beginning in 2012). His first song on the matter was "Planet Purple Point of View" in 2017. Then, 3 years later, he became "An Interstellar Monster" as recited in the song "He's Mr. Munch" in 2020. Thus, for nearly 40 years, starting from 1978, Munch was still recognized as a Monster by the Chuck E Cheese company CEC Entertainment LLC. (Formerly CEC Entertainment Inc., Showbiz Pizza Time Inc., and Pizza Time Theatre, Inc.)

I'd even sneak into the bar area to make those play their songs. I didn't go in the ball pit much but I had to make at least one trip to the strobe light cave. The same goes for Teddy Ruxpin and friends. I never understood why anyone found those scary so by the time the Freddy's franchise started they were playing on an internet famous fear my mind can't comprehend existing.
