A Childish Chuck E. Cheese Rant About Dance Floors, TVs, and Tables

- I love Chuck E. Cheese a ton as a brand, and know many of the employees who work for the company are some of the nicest and hardworking individuals in customer service, but some decisions from the Corporate's aspect makes things infuriating and confusing.
This was the last straw when I first witnessed it, so I needed to get it off my chest, judge me all you want.

![What Led CEC Down a Lack in Entertainment Path? [Rant]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SVqs0N1yvM4/mqdefault.jpg)
In conclusion...
*TABLE ROOM*
This is why we need to try to bring back Showbiz Pizza Place.
And another thing, I like the ( 1971 ) Country Bear Jamboree animatronic show better than Chuck E. Cheese now.
@@cecanimatronicguy7403 There's no bringing back Showbiz Pizza, Aaron left because they laid him off and even then were trying to cut corners during RAE.

@@NintegaDario there are still some locations that have the animatronics, but there’s one problem with 2.0: IT SPREADS MORE F*CKING [RETARDED] VIRUS THAN THE ANIMAF*CKINGTRONICS
The novelty of Animatronics was unmatched. It brought such an aura of wonder to the establishments. I would skate over to my local CEC just to sit and watch the animatronics move around and perform for hours just because I was fascinated with the tech. Sadly, ours had to close and remodel due to a fire on the stage, and when they reopened the animatronics had been replaced with the boring dance floor and TV display. It's so upsetting :((
CCE = Chuck Chuck E.
Lol I’m just joking but yeah
Let me guess, that one location in Indiana?
Animatronics still outcompete most places. But the boardroom has already declared they're ready to take the 'Zack Morris' route and fumble up everything ten-fold. So, let's all of us process our minds and sit on a stairway in a dark secluded place as Chuck's iconic slogan "Where a kid can be a kid" hauntingly echos through our minds. Like Westworld.
When did the fire happen? Just curious. And do you know what caused it?
The animatronics shows were a unique feature of the restaurants. That dance floor and big screen TV cheapens the place. Kids’ disinterest in the animatronics seems like just a theory to me...they just don’t want to have to maintain them anymore and cut costs.
CEC Entertainment is probably trying to ruin our childhoods on purpose at this point
it's over for the company as a whole.
2:58 *the most threatening sentence said in the 20th century*
It’s not even “Chuck E Cheese” anymore it’s just an arcade with food
Cec: children don't want to see the animatronics anymore so uhh remove them also cec: *randomly doesn't care about animatronics*
Why is it even still called "Chuck E. Cheese's" at this point? They have strayed so far from the original concept, and gotten rid of SO SO SO SO SO MANY things that made it "Chuck E. Cheese's", calling modern CEC "Chuck E. Cheese's" is just insulting. Honestly they should just rebrand as something else and drop the characters entirely, they've already ruined the characters, it would be a blessing if the poor suckers were finally allowed to die after 43 years of slowly going down hill.
They might as well just call it Peter Piper Pizza.
@@mr.tomraypaz6085 They own Peter Piper's
I knew that. They seem like a CEC without the show.
I'm pretty sure you can order chuck e cheese's pizza on things like door dash and it under the name "Pasquale's pizza" so why not that.
Rest in peace my local location, Rockford. It's dead. 2.0 is utter trash there, it wasn't even one of the good remodels. I love how they're blaming kids for not watching them. They made them the side-show. They removed the walls, the stage light dimming, the audience interaction, the liveliness, the programming, the aesthetic, the fact the shows aren't entertaining. Take for example, the April 2012 show. It gives you a story to follow along with, and it mixes in popular songs. I can be fine with not covering songs, but there's just no entertainment without any actual *show*. They pay to update the arcade part, that's why the children go to the games instead of the animatronics. It's not even a good dance floor, either. It's just a screen projected onto the floor. What's the point of even watching the Show at CEC if its just a TV? It's just a waste ov money. CEC is so cheap they can't even get a good pizza cutter, even after the rumors. And, THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF IT ALL, They PURPOSELY MANIPULATED US INTO AGREEING WITH THEM BY killing shows by not performing maintenance on them. Take a look at some locations that used to be really good, such as mine, Rockford. After 2.0 was mentioned, magically, the animatronics mouths didn't work, neither did their eyelids, pasqually looked drunk. Wow.
imagine if kelloggs and general mills dropped all of their cereal mascots to make promotions of mesothelioma it's just a really pathetic decision
They just solidified themselves as a company for 4 year olds. Stupid songs, Dumb puppets on tvs, and a 5x5 dance floor… This is why showbiz pizza was elite. It worked for kids and teens. Where chuck e cheese is trying to entertain little kids… The work they’ve done in the past 20 years has DESTROYED their company! They went from trying to be like disney “Where kids and parents can have fun” to a
lace where ONLY LITTLE KIDS enjoy
My brother told me this a few days ago…
If you throw away rice you don’t eat, that’s disrespecting the farmers who made it. So when Chuck E Cheese throws out the animatronics, that’s disrespecting the many people who literally worked hard on putting together the many animatronics and getting them to work. It’s just sad 😞
You know that in 1977, the animatronics gave them their fame. So, they are asking to go out of business.
Alright, here's what I gotta say from a tactical standpoint:
The reason why they're ditching the animatronics is not only are they just trying to cut off the cost of maintaining em - and I'm being truly honest here - the bots frankly are starting to look like pieces of junk *because* of the lack of maintenance. I mean, it really does look like the place is turning into a poorly ran garbage hole (if not poorly ran already). Think about it: do you really want a cross-eyed Chuck that can't even move as well as a mustache-absent Pasqually looking directly at you while you sit down at a germ-infested table eating possibly recycled pizza *that tastes just like Little Caesar's?*
The dance floor is a... uh... I guess it's just an official spot for live shows to occur at. But not only are they ditching the bots: they threw away the toddler zone, the interactive panels on the Studio C Alpha stages, the Skytubes, and maybe some other random things that made the location stand out from others. That's what is taking the magic away.
At this rate, CEC has lost what made it special and ever so popular. There's this place that is about a minute or two away from my local CEC called Spare Time and it is HEAVEN! They got an arcade, a bowling alley, laser tag, a nice section dedicated to some good food, a full room dedicated to prizes like Nerf Guns and Nintendo Switches, and finally... *A BOWLING PIN MASCOT THAT WALKS AROUND HI-FIVING PEOPLE!* If CEC were to switch things up and make themselves stand out than everyone else, then that's cool. But now they have used the power of money concerns to turn themselves into a place of "we got nothing else to do, why not".
I bet you that the future generation of kids that we have will be jealous that we got to see some of the coolest parts about this place before the "corporate greed" took over
"tastes just like Little Caesars?" Me as a LCP fan: TRIGGERED
@@kevinmullins6530 I mean its been like 5 years since I've last eaten at CEC so I'm just going off vague memory
i went to a cec like 4 days ago. they still have animatronics but the characters don't even talk.. they just move their heads, waists, and eyes around. im sure children would watch the characters if they actually DID something 💀.
can’t blame them about the dance floor, the 2012 redesign basically drilled a ton of holes in the establishment
*Chuck E. Cheese's: WE'VE GOT TO HAVE.....MONEY!*
*WE'RE LOSIN M O N E Y Y Y Y*
*WE'VE GOT TO SAVE... MONEY!*
Corp: hello I like money
And what made you make a 2.0 remodel
Corp: Money!
@@showbizillinoiswisconsin7868 How could you, Corporations? You promised these fans Chuck E. Cheese's, but all I saw out there was....... *CHEAP E. CHEAPSKATE!*
@@NintendoTV64 CEC just wants your money that’s all
Once 2.0 is completed I’m leaving the fandom almost entirely. I’ll just watch the RAE for the rest of my life and never step foot in a Dumb E. Cheese again.
I can think of so many better things that the stage could be replaced with instead of more tables.
It's really sad because Cec Entertainment doesn't take their ips seriously anymore
The animatronics are what made Chuck E. Cheese unique from other pizza restaurants/ arcades, and without them Chuck E. Cheese is just your normal pizza arcade, and I would've been fine with 2.0 if they would give the animatronics a better home but no, THEY DESTROY THEM. Although not all of them get destroyed, like Laurel's 3 stage was saved even when they got 2.0 and I think Rockford's rocker stage was saved too. Overall 2.0 is Chuck E. Cheese's worst ever mistake and even though it is bringing sales up 20% Chuck E. Cheese will always be a shell of what it once was.
I don't think I'll ever go to Chuck E Cheese's again
This is facts 😔
As horrifying as the animatronics are, seeing them being replaced with a TV is really sad.
Chuck E. Cheese has been selling beer they need to fix that sh*t
A chuck e cheese *MINI* pizza is now 9 dollars, there's obviously getting bankrupt again because of 2.0 and want your money to save them....
It’s sad really, I don’t wanna watch an unnecessarily large tv screen instead of animatronics. On top of that large god damn tv, there’s MORE TVs throughout the restaurant. No one wants to watch a tv at a restaurant
unrelated but this comment reminded me of when I first went to Famous Dave's (a BBQ place) and the TV was on and that's when Mom and I learned that competitive cornhole exists....
10 THERE ARE AT LEAST 10 TVS
The next thing you know, they'll scrap the arcades and tell people to just use their new app!
Not to mention throughout the late 90s onwards they've hardly even promte the animatronic shows in adverts/marketing.
IKR, I remember in the 2000s when they marketed, there were these weird purple walls with stars on them which led me to believe not all Chuck E. Cheese locations had the animatronics.
the only 2.0 did right is the in and exterior. and also, trying to move after eating just gives me a soft stomach ache (And i believe i am not the only one)
This video is freaking hilarious, but you have some really good points. We’ll miss you animatronics…
replacing animatronics with tvs? what are you disney?
chuck e cheese
A tv oh god they started the dance floor but now a tv a tv is way worse
I KNOW RIGHT?! WASTING GAS MONEY, FOR A KID'S BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THE "NEW 2.0 CHUCK E CHEESE." JUST TO GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE WITH A TV, INSTEAD OF AUDIO-ANIMATRONICS!? TOM LEVERTON, YOU CREATED A MONSTER, JUST SO YOU CAN GET MONEY. WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE "MAGIC WITHOUT IT YOUR JUST A REGULAR PIZZA PLACE!? THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!🥺🥺
#BringbacktheCECanimatronics
"Table room!" LOL! 😄
I missed the original look even on both Fontaine Road and Newark CA since I was the youngest one like CEC goers. Because Fontaine Road one was the second Chuck E. Cheese ever opened from the beginning and it was ultimately a large pizza palace since it used to be a magical toy shop.
the dance floor was 1 thing BUT NOW A FUCKING TV
Honestly, this just adds to the Chuck E. Cheese dip of the 2010’s, First was the removal of Avenger to Rockstar in 2012. Then all the characters remodels until finally all of them for Helen in 2016. Then with 2016 because of the removal of Skytubes and Tokens in exchange for the Play Pass card. And ending it all with the removal of paper tickets, and then the animatronics ditched for a dance floor and TV in 2017. It’s already going after so many locations that there are few CEC animatronic stages left. Maybe 2.0 was the cause for the first bankruptcy in 2020 since the video game crash of ‘83. Chuck E. Cheese’s just keeps getting a little worse every few years for some people. (As a 2010’s kid, I grew up with Rockstar, it wasn’t that bad with just the Chuck bot. It just got 2.0 and I don’t really mind it.) I wonder what Chuck E. Cheese’s has in store next, could be improvement, could be non improvement.
Dance floor sucks..
The only decent thing about the dance floor is it has some bit of interactivity with the character renders forming as you walk on it and the fish stomping segment when the live shows aren't running.
Chuck E. Cheese's? More like Mr. Krabs's
They need to bring back the animatronics with more high tech animatronics and donate the old ones to fans
I wouldn’t mind if they used the dance floor but keep the fucking robots
I WANT THE SHOW BACK!!!!!
When I go to pineville, I will watch the animatronics for a long time
Hot take: the modern Chuck e Cheese character designs are really nice! Though the abandonment of the animatronics is terrible
The tv will be even more unwanted
When are you going to add Pasqually’s accordion
This isn't even chuck e anymore
The place is doomed and was doomed from the start of 2.0
This made me laugh
Me Too
Your comment aged probably lol
that ain’t big E cheese that’s small E cheddar
It’s not childish it’s perfectly natural
It ain’t just CEC. Look at McDonald’s recent remodels….
2:26 ✨T A B L E R O O M✨
literally when i heard of 2.0 i was screaming and had and still have the same opinion as you do
That made me laugh lmao. You earned a Sub!
Why did they make a stupid dumb big tv
My 6 year old posted this
@@Stephareno how does your 6-year-old know how to type that seems advanced or I'm just stupid lol
As soon as they fired Duncan Brannan in 2012, the company made an enemy out of me. It’s been going downhill ever since then in my opinion.
And they didn’t even tell him
Why is the robot removed into a tv
Because the company thinks that's what everyone wants.
0:33 funny
You explained all my feelings exactly!
T A B L E R O O M
i think same way
Literally Sharing This With My Mom
0:50 PEOPLE HAVE SAVED THE BALCONY STAGE
Where a kid cant be a kid xd
I remmber being 5 in wales and dreaming to enter a chuck e cheese and run around the place because of the remodel i never want to step foot in a chuck e cheese again because all the whole reason i wanted to go was because of the animatronics thanks alot CEC entertainment you made me never want to enter a chuck e cheese
Kids today see the dance floor and thinks its lame or fun.
Me: When I was young 5 years old my Birthday 2012 playing games tokens tickets cruncher pizza cake laughter with friends nonstop with tokens and tickets in my hands until I was out of tokens.
Me: Cries What have they done to chuck e cheese why would they take out the animatronics they were the main attractions who in the Ceo though this was a good idea this really stupid the animatronics the main cast have been around since it started, and most kids might not even know they existed. It's really disappointing knowing what's happened over time.
I know before me their also had the curtains and other stuff they were cutting a lot of corners, but this is the last corner I hope so help me if they remove the ticket blaster in life, I say to chuck e cheese I don't know you you're not the restaurant I remember with animatronics and tokens and tickets you can grab and pizza.
I always thought it felt Empty.
All I can say is if you want to go to an arcade, then go get a time machine, especially for Chuck e cheese
Bro
YES YOUR IN MY TEAM!!
You sound like Munch from the CEC blenders videos
I am the voice of Munch for CEC Blender.
*Send Moyer the Destroyer after 2.0*
TABLE ROOM
2:26 lol
Yeah I’ve only been to one grand reopening it’s…. “Ok I guess”
This is literally a stupid remodel my local location shut down and the rest that are close to me got 2.0 and the most pathetic thing is THEY GAVE THE LAST ROCKER STAGE LOCATION 2.0
i whant the animatronics back now
I miss the skytubes
0:50 in my opinion. its because the showtapes are trash. and they don't repair the animaronics.
Can you get rid of the auto-generated chapters please?
What is the game he is playing?
oddly enough my youtube crashed at 2:19
What would Nolan do? 🤔
I'm more sad that there getting rid of the skytubes.
I actually like the modern Chuck E Cheese. And that’s coming from a guy who actually works at Chuck E Cheese.
Me too! I think he’s ok as well
But I respect your opinion.
I don't think it's awful I still would love the animatronics but I think it is true kids pay less attention to the stage/band now days but its chuck e cheese fault for makeing the show a side peice like not diming the lights and stuff . but I do think now with the dance floor the guys/girls in the costume will come out more often and that will still get attention so that's good. But I still will miss the animatronics
Really? What location?
@@Kelpflakes Bowling Green, KY. But I don’t work there anymore
I have to admit the rockstar era is not the worst piece of childrens entertainment out there and it does have some witty moments but the designs and writing make me feel like im watching generic kids show #whatever it is such a far cry from the stage show feel they had for the first 35 years
And cec calls it progress. Ick.
Good thing ur definitely not adding the dance floor to the Chuck e cheese experience, right?
We are, but it's going to be in a dumpster.
Wow
Great place for it
You could probably sound a bit like Doug's Mr. Munch.
I already can and have
D
aaron fechter would be so disapointed there disrespecting his works like why
He's probably happy considering RAE still gets to live on.
k but you know who would be disapointed fnaf fans
also i wanna beat the crap out of the cec ceo
also the way you roasted the animated chuck e cheese made me giggle
Tbh just go to Dave and busters instead of this crap
Or Billy bobs wonderland
Yea use a other room
For it and they can still use the robots
Is there anything you like about rockstar Chuck?
Hello
Wait... Chuck E is that You???
It's me Jasper!
2.0 sucks
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡💔
2.0 is sexy most stages aren’t even good anyway
some stages are good
