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.
That sucks that the dance floor is being cleared. I don’t care how much those animatronics used to creep me out as a kid, It’s just not Chucky E Cheese without the them. It’s like removing the mascots and animatronics at Disney land, it’s just not the same without them.
@@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 Idk how far that went, but I think CEC is pretty conflicted because the animatronics are extremely outdated (still run on floppy disks, each location gets a new floppy disk in the mail every few months with the new programming that corresponds to the animatronic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.

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 have seen an old chuck e cheese comic I think that was from the 70s-80s it was about chuck e cheese going to a planet and finding Mr munch so he did not not become an alien in the rockstar era

"Gaslighting"? Was he lying in order to make everyone question their sanity? If he wasn't, then it was just lying, not gaslighting. Oh, yeah, now I see it
I vividly remember those anamatronics playing on stage in the early 2000s, but does anyone remember the comic strips that were printed on the side of the arcade games giving backstories to some of the side characters? 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.
Yes a full deep dive into the full lore and storys of them would be cool Wonder how much of the lore/storys like this has become lost media tracking down images and footage of the storys o the rides would be wierd and interesting
I love how in-depth MatPat gets when making any theory. Also I lived near a Chuck E. Cheese and my brother used to work there, but it shut down a little before the pandemic. It's still just dirt, I pass by almost everyday and it just brings back memories. Also I have a question: How long could someone survive off of one singular food, for example, tortillas, or beans?
Then: "But when you do die-" "I've taken steps to ensure that never happens" Now: "I like pizza. I like animatronics. I like murder" MatPat is William Afton confirmed?!
I knew the backstory before I watched this video. Here is what I know "Chuck E. Cheese is an orphan who didn't know his birthday. He found a restraint that served great pizza. The cook tried to murder Chuck, Chuck sang and was made a star." THANK GOD this video did not give me nightmares! Love your videos Matpat!!!!!!
I actually remember having pretty good times in the Chuck E cheese in Altoona. Sure it's shut down now, but it was decent fun with friends and the animatronics didn't really bother us at all. Kinda sad it fell on hard times like it did,. but glad that theories like this bring up the memories every once in a while.
@@Toaster003 Wow! Really? I was certain that whole area [minus the putput course near sheetz and the movie theaters] had the recreational areas like those shut down. That's pretty cool to hear that the kids in Tuna town can still have a place to go for birthdays and stuff. Thanks man, that's pretty wholesome news 👍
I’m a HUGE Chuck E Cheese buff, like I know everything. I was so excited to this posted, and I highly recommend you make a video diving into the VERY interesting backstory and history of the franchise :)
Fun Fact: In the most recent Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book, Greg and one of Rodrick's bandmates go to a pizzeria arcade with animatronics, (clearly a Chucky Cheese reference) and in that part of the story, a woman gets mad because the pizzas have uneven sliced that 'appear to be made of other people's recycled pizzas.'
I'm an employee at Chuck E Cheese. Part of my training included reading Chuck E's backstory. Yes. He is an orphan, canonically. We got rid of the animatronics very recently. My location only ever had the one. Stage C Beta. When I was young, I had my birthday party there. My cousin dragged me behind the purple stage curtain and tried to shove my head in Chuck E's mouth. Mind you this happened in 2010. Anyway, good video! Gonna send this to my coworkers haha
just what i needed before my little cousin’s birthday party at chuck e. cheese tomorrow. now i’m not only scared of getting the plague from some putrid toddlers, i also have LORE to think of!! matpat you have done it again…
1:50 hold up, wasn't this one of the notes in Security Breach? Edit: Yep, just checked the wiki, here it is: "CUSTOMER COMPLAINT - The pizza we ordered was weird. Some pieces were different sizes or didn't fit together. One slice even had different toppings. Did you recycle the old pizza from the trash? I am never coming back here unless I am given some sort of major discount. - Angry Mom" Edit #2: Please stop saying "the fnaf thing was a reference to this irl incident" I KNOW THAT
The story of concept unification (aka turning all the rockifire explosion into cec characters) is actually really sad as all of the props and whatnot that weren't reused for cec were destroyed. They didn't want them to be able to be sold so the corporation had them destroyed and now there are very few good quality rockifire props/animatronics and whatnot left. And now cec is trying to faze out the animatronics all together, it's pretty sad for all those out there that who are passionate about this stuff including myself.
I laugh at the concept of being afraid of animatronic robots as I had amazing fun every time I went to the former Showbiz Pizza when I was a little boy. This was what ours were called in the southeastern U.S. in the 1980's & early 1990's prior to being converted to Chuck E. Cheese. It made me want to open a video game arcade.
I never found the Chuck E. Cheese animatronics scary. I kept popping in tokens to hear more songs as a kid on the rare visits we made to the restaurant. 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.
I actually worked at Chuck E. Cheese’s, and during orientation/training I had to read Chuck E Cheeses official backstory on a tablet. It was surprising.
I love how Mat really had the “it all adds up” strings in the section where he sounds the craziest on saying a fictional character was aware of the loss of popularity 😂
i work at a chuck e. cheese, and apparently before my current gm took over they would make our cast members learn the backstory as part of their training, and i got to hear the whole backstory when i was closing once
There was a girl in my kindergarten class named Maria who LOVED cats. Every Wednesday, she would be excused and when I say every, I mean it. Every Wednesday, she would go to Chuck E Cheese. When we shared about our day in the morning, all she shared about was that she went to Chuck E Cheese. She missed SO much school just because of that hellhole.
I just watch the concept unification for changing the animatronics’ cosmetics to Chuck E Cheese characters and it is sort of creepy, but the jazz in the background is comforting. Maybe that’s just me. It’s definitely the inspiration for that parts and repairs video by battington… or the inspiration for the video that battington’s one was based off.
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!
As a kid I was a HUHE fan of going to Chuck E Cheese’s. That said it was because of the pizza, the arcade and the playground. The animatronics were ALWAYS horrifying.
I was too. Every time my family went to Cicis Pizza while it was still open, i always cried and fought for my life as I tried to defeat that beast once and for all. I never succeeded.
YESSSSSSSS. As an ex Cec employee I’m glad you’re looking at the lore. It’s so weird. And it makes me so happy you watched that acid trip of a movie 😂. Also there was a another human member of the gang called Steve waters who advertised Pepsi max. So many weird things that company has done.
I have a food theory idea; my friend found a water brand called liquid death, and when we read the label we discovered that there is lore. Just thought this would be funny and cool to look into.
Pablo: I remember the time me and Marvin went to the moon and made friends with aliens and ate moon cheese. Martha May: There’s no such thing as moon cheese.
I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for parties and birthdays when my brothers and I were little. We used to play games and in the ball pool and slide. This brings back so many memories!
There's a tape out there that contradicts Chuck E's backstory. It was one of the earlier anniversary celebrations that also give him a backstory. And it literally says he left his parents house to go start a career in New York.
@@dafilmqueen556 How? It had the VA's for animatronics at the time. And it was the same song for all the anniversary celebrations throughout the years.
The backstory mentioned is from the Chuck E Cheese song "every boy every girl". However, it's from the 2017 version of the song as there are 2 more versions of it prior to the rock star era & both seem to come from the avenger era, 1997 & 2007. In both versions, Chuck mentions how when he left his home so long ago, about 20 years ago in 1997 & 30 for 2007, he said goodbye to his folks before working at every club across New York making cheesy songs & jokes, & doing shows for kids which was where his dream started. As for Pasqually's side of the story, he sold pizza from door to door when Chuck needed a master chef who could sing & the two went off to California meeting the other members of Munch's Make Believe Band. So while the backstory you shared in the video may be true for the 2017 rock star Chuck E., the backstory for the 1997 & 2007 versions which are pretty much the same tells a different story, one of Avenger Chuck. It explains that Chuck has a family but left to start a new life with dreams of entertaining others & Pascqually was just an ordinary pizza chef who got a gig thanks to the mouse. So, either Avenger Chuck considered the orphanage his "folks" if he indeed was an orphan or maybe CEC entertainment sort of retcon the backstory for the 2017 version of the song, which probably wouldn't matter if Rock Star Chuck is a DIFFERENT character from Avenger Chuck.
I used to work at a Chuck E. Cheese AS Chuck E. Cheese & I never heard anything even half as interesting as the stuff in this video! Thank you, Team Theorist, this video was quite the treat!
@@kinsou3865 I was just surprised that I never heard any of the lore despite working there. But full disclosure, I quit that job because it was making me hate children... & their parents. I don't know what it is about wearing a mascot costume(which reeked) that made kids(including teens) wanna beat me up, but it was constant & thankless.
Its so awesome to have somebody who's really famous on TH-cam who is finally talking about the entire characters of Chuck E. Cheese. I mean serisously, outside Chuck E., the rest of the cast are tragically underrated. 👌🏻😆 Pasqually & Mr. Munch are my boys
Jasper has good taste in books though, I had to read ‘of mice and men’ last year in school and it’s a great book, i recommended, the book has amazing characters and an amazing plot twist, it pulls off funny and just devastating events in scenes, if you ever have the option to read this book i recommend, it’s a great book. 👍🏻
Matpat i love how your scripts always make sense wether or not you’re able to see the visual queues, it’s really amazing and I’m sure makes a lot of people super happy to watch ur videos and not miss out on anything, please keep doing it!
Love your videos! Figured its worth mentioning that the video breakdown of the animatronic character is actually Mitzi from The Rockafire explosion. The two bands are actually created by two different people(companies), but, some of the rockafire explosion characters were retrofitted into chuck-e-cheese characters! Pretty neat actually 🔥
I once had my cousin come over and he said we were gonna watch the chucky movie. Only being 6 years old at the time, I assumed he was talking about the Chuck E Cheese movie, but instead I was tricked into watching a horror movie about a serial killer doll. Now I’m wondering if the Chucky movie I watched wasn’t so bad compared to the one I could’ve watched…
The origins of Chuckie cheese is similar to alivne and the chipmunks Dave wanted to get rid of them in his home once they sing and he heard their singing he brought them to his house and used them later got attached to them got the girls and later adopted them as his kids
That whole oppressive business relationship, by which Pasquale kept poor Chucky in a perpetual state of singing and smiling (under pain of death), reminds me of Slurms MacKenzie - mascot of the Slurm Centralized Industrial Fabrication Unit (SCIFU) on _Planet_ _Wormulon_ - in the episode of Futurama called, _"Fry_ _and_ _the_ _Slurm_ _Factory",_ where Slurms had to party non-stop to promote business or else the Slurm Queen would crush him like a worm… crushing a smaller worm… 😅 *DRINK* *SLURM!* _"It's_ _highly_ _addictive!"_
I kinda see some issues with that considering that Pasqually referred to Chuck E as "boss" in quite a bit of early Pizza Time Theater skits, also Chuck got away with roasting even Pasqually in the segments during those timelines.
As someone who works at Chuck E. Cheese, I can just say the animatronics got a whole lot less harrowingly terrifying. There's only one, and it's Chuck E. And he's cute. I love lookin' at him. I do love hearing about creepy theories surrounding the franchise, and I love being there after dark with the animatronic.
Imagine a restaurant that opened and hired people (like the waiters) as characters and the whole thing is some kind of story/lore that can be pieced all together lol.
The inner bark can be eaten raw. It can also be laid out to dry to grind into flour later (using stones if you are in an emergency situation). You could then mix with water to bake or fry over a fire (like a pancake). Another option is to cut the bark into thin strips to boil in water, like noodles. Roasting smaller pieces by the fire until they are light brown in color is also a possibility. Anyone want Christmas tree pancakes
I remember that other episode mainly because Amy was so charming! And of course the nostalgia of Chuck E Cheese in general. But this episode was amazing, and chilling! Loved it, MatPat!✌🏾
Funny enough, Dave & Busters seems to have gradually been replacing Chuck E Cheese over the years. On another note, I can’t help but think Scott may have taken his kids to Chuck E Cheese a few times, being the inspiration, or at least coincidence, for Five Night’s at Freddy’s Freddy Fazbear’s pizza.
Whenever I see MatPat post a video that taps into horror I think it would be a nice little scare and then I click on the video and suddenly remember that this is the guy who tried to eat his Christmas tree… twice

I vividly remember those anamatronics playing on stage in the early 2000s, but does anyone remember the comic strips that were printed on the side of the arcade games giving backstories to some of the side characters? 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.
Yes a full deep dive into the full lore and storys of them would be cool
Wonder how much of the lore/storys like this has become lost media tracking down images and footage of the storys o the rides would be wierd and interesting
its official: the Chuck E Cheese dog is a NASCAR driver
was the purple monster... WILLIAM AFTON
I love how in-depth MatPat gets when making any theory.
Also I lived near a Chuck E. Cheese and my brother used to work there, but it shut down a little before the pandemic. It's still just dirt, I pass by almost everyday and it just brings back memories.
Also I have a question: How long could someone survive off of one singular food, for example, tortillas, or beans?
he already did an episode on this
Bro That is so stupid
Tortillas and beans? *looks confused, in Mexican heritage*
I remember going to Chuck E Cheese... it sadly got turned into a 5 below and now the closest one to me is in York PA and I’m in Lancaster
you need all sorts of nutrition, 4 months? dunno
Then:
"But when you do die-"
"I've taken steps to ensure that never happens"
Now:
"I like pizza. I like animatronics. I like murder"
MatPat is William Afton confirmed?!
Truth
Shhh not so loud he might here you!
@@alchemistcat4877 true my bad...
According to fnaf the musical
Confirmed
I knew the backstory before I watched this video. Here is what I know "Chuck E. Cheese is an orphan who didn't know his birthday. He found a restraint that served great pizza. The cook tried to murder Chuck, Chuck sang and was made a star." THANK GOD this video did not give me nightmares! Love your videos Matpat!!!!!!
I actually remember having pretty good times in the Chuck E cheese in Altoona. Sure it's shut down now, but it was decent fun with friends and the animatronics didn't really bother us at all. Kinda sad it fell on hard times like it did,. but glad that theories like this bring up the memories every once in a while.
Altoona Pennsylvania? That one's still open and still even has the animatronics.
@yes SHUT UP, BOT
@@Toaster003 Wow! Really? I was certain that whole area [minus the putput course near sheetz and the movie theaters] had the recreational areas like those shut down. That's pretty cool to hear that the kids in Tuna town can still have a place to go for birthdays and stuff. Thanks man, that's pretty wholesome news 👍
There’s still a Chucky E. Cheese close to were I live
I’m a HUGE Chuck E Cheese buff, like I know everything. I was so excited to this posted, and I highly recommend you make a video diving into the VERY interesting backstory and history of the franchise :)
as kid who grew up having bday parties at Chuck E. Cheese’s just wanna say thanks for bringing some good old nostalgia into my system 😂
i was always jealous of you if you had a birthday party there
Same
The way he mentioned FNAF in a food theory and not game theory.he also mentioned it IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FREANCHISE
Fun Fact: In the most recent Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book, Greg and one of Rodrick's bandmates go to a pizzeria arcade with animatronics, (clearly a Chucky Cheese reference) and in that part of the story, a woman gets mad because the pizzas have uneven sliced that 'appear to be made of other people's recycled pizzas.'
Guess that`s just a well-known thing to say about pizzareias, I saw something similar in a fiction pizza place in a tv show
I'm an employee at Chuck E Cheese. Part of my training included reading Chuck E's backstory. Yes. He is an orphan, canonically.
We got rid of the animatronics very recently. My location only ever had the one. Stage C Beta. When I was young, I had my birthday party there. My cousin dragged me behind the purple stage curtain and tried to shove my head in Chuck E's mouth. Mind you this happened in 2010.
Anyway, good video! Gonna send this to my coworkers haha
Bite of 83 almost happened to you holy crap dude 😭

Putrid toddlers? I can tell you’ve never even stepped foot in a Chuck E. Cheese’s before. The one near me is really clean.
Technically, Chuckie has stopped singing and performing for a little while now at all locations still featuring animatronics
1:50 hold up, wasn't this one of the notes in Security Breach?
Edit: Yep, just checked the wiki, here it is: "CUSTOMER COMPLAINT - The pizza we ordered was weird. Some pieces were different sizes or didn't fit together. One slice even had different toppings. Did you recycle the old pizza from the trash? I am never coming back here unless I am given some sort of major discount. - Angry Mom"
Edit #2: Please stop saying "the fnaf thing was a reference to this irl incident" I KNOW THAT
FNAF follows this man everywhere I would be surprised if there wasn’t a FNAF reference
@@funforlife9893 Yeah good point
This wasn't a FNAF reference. It was an actual call conspiracy a few years ago.
@@whyrwehere Yeah ik, I was saying that this must be why they included that note in SB
cant believe they stole it from fnaf sb
The story of concept unification (aka turning all the rockifire explosion into cec characters) is actually really sad as all of the props and whatnot that weren't reused for cec were destroyed. They didn't want them to be able to be sold so the corporation had them destroyed and now there are very few good quality rockifire props/animatronics and whatnot left.
And now cec is trying to faze out the animatronics all together, it's pretty sad for all those out there that who are passionate about this stuff including myself.
I laugh at the concept of being afraid of animatronic robots as I had amazing fun every time I went to the former Showbiz Pizza when I was a little boy. This was what ours were called in the southeastern U.S. in the 1980's & early 1990's prior to being converted to Chuck E. Cheese. It made me want to open a video game arcade.
imagine an alternate universe where a murder incident in chuck-e cheese happened in 1983 where 5 children were killed
You wouldn't like it if they were possessed or malfunctioning
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR HEARD OF *FIVE* *NIGHTS* *AT* *FREDDY'S*
I never found the Chuck E. Cheese animatronics scary. I kept popping in tokens to hear more songs as a kid on the rare visits we made to the restaurant. 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.
MatPat: “Everyone’s favorite mouse”
Me: Mickey?
The long awaited Chuck E Cheese Theory 🎉
True
Dude, bots are all over the comment section
The recycled pizza theory:
This is the second chuck e cheese theory
There is another
I actually worked at Chuck E. Cheese’s, and during orientation/training I had to read Chuck E Cheeses official backstory on a tablet. It was surprising.
I love how Mat really had the “it all adds up” strings in the section where he sounds the craziest on saying a fictional character was aware of the loss of popularity 😂
Jasper: We can all get jobs. You know, I saw a help wanted sign down at the Chicken Palace.
i work at a chuck e. cheese, and apparently before my current gm took over they would make our cast members learn the backstory as part of their training, and i got to hear the whole backstory when i was closing once
did anyone make a remark about how dark the backstory is?
@@mintallyunstable no one’s really asked me tbh. sometimes kids will ask questions here and there but nothing about this stuff lol
There was a girl in my kindergarten class named Maria who LOVED cats. Every Wednesday, she would be excused and when I say every, I mean it. Every Wednesday, she would go to Chuck E Cheese. When we shared about our day in the morning, all she shared about was that she went to Chuck E Cheese. She missed SO much school just because of that hellhole.
I did the math and from where I live, she would've missed over 5 weeks of school, (I think)
Why did the parents do this? Did they work there and just couldn’t leave her at school without anyone to pick her up?
Wow.😯 did she fail? I bet she failed 💀
so me
Its finally here. The video we’ve all been waiting for. *The Chuck E. Cheese theory.*
I just watch the concept unification for changing the animatronics’ cosmetics to Chuck E Cheese characters and it is sort of creepy, but the jazz in the background is comforting. Maybe that’s just me. It’s definitely the inspiration for that parts and repairs video by battington… or the inspiration for the video that battington’s one was based off.
don't remind me of CU 😭 MITZI DESERVED BETTER!!
MITZI😭😭
@@The-bird-outside-your-door FR CLOCK IT 😭 I DRESSED AS HER FOR HALLOWEEN IN HER HONOR 😔
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!
*I swear if Matpat's right, I'm never stepping foot near a CEC's ever again!*
You're contributing to that's rats death if you don't support him!
I'm like 20 years ahead of you on that decision lmao

As a kid I was a HUHE fan of going to Chuck E Cheese’s. That said it was because of the pizza, the arcade and the playground. The animatronics were ALWAYS horrifying.
Am I the only one who was absolutely horrified by the Big Bertha thing as a kid?
I was too. Every time my family went to Cicis Pizza while it was still open, i always cried and fought for my life as I tried to defeat that beast once and for all. I never succeeded.
Never been there (I’m from England)
I’m a 2000s kid when I went to Chuk. E Cheeses that game wasn’t around anymore.
@@PeterGriffin11 same I never even heard of that game
1:16
You see, as a kid, I only saw this game as a simple game. Now apparently it's more than I bargained for. Way more
YESSSSSSSS. As an ex Cec employee I’m glad you’re looking at the lore. It’s so weird. And it makes me so happy you watched that acid trip of a movie 😂. Also there was a another human member of the gang called Steve waters who advertised Pepsi max. So many weird things that company has done.
Man, Chuck E's story is something else.
I have a food theory idea; my friend found a water brand called liquid death, and when we read the label we discovered that there is lore. Just thought this would be funny and cool to look into.
Me, a gal that spends too much time researching animatronics for the funsies:I’m ready to hear Mat tell me things I already know
In a way, Pasqually is *ALMOST* like the real life William Afton.
Pablo: I remember the time me and Marvin went to the moon and made friends with aliens and ate moon cheese.
Martha May: There’s no such thing as moon cheese.
I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for parties and birthdays when my brothers and I were little. We used to play games and in the ball pool and slide. This brings back so many memories!
There's a tape out there that contradicts Chuck E's backstory. It was one of the earlier anniversary celebrations that also give him a backstory. And it literally says he left his parents house to go start a career in New York.
Can it be proven to be his or not? Just asking in case it turns out to be fake..
@@dafilmqueen556
How? It had the VA's for animatronics at the time. And it was the same song for all the anniversary celebrations throughout the years.
@JBroZ Tv , ok, just making sure it wasn't another Pasqually lie made up to gaslight Chuck E.
If you can find it, please send a link
@@ab-qf1iv youtube doesnt allow links anymore btw
The backstory mentioned is from the Chuck E Cheese song "every boy every girl". However, it's from the 2017 version of the song as there are 2 more versions of it prior to the rock star era & both seem to come from the avenger era, 1997 & 2007.
In both versions, Chuck mentions how when he left his home so long ago, about 20 years ago in 1997 & 30 for 2007, he said goodbye to his folks before working at every club across New York making cheesy songs & jokes, & doing shows for kids which was where his dream started. As for Pasqually's side of the story, he sold pizza from door to door when Chuck needed a master chef who could sing & the two went off to California meeting the other members of Munch's Make Believe Band.
So while the backstory you shared in the video may be true for the 2017 rock star Chuck E., the backstory for the 1997 & 2007 versions which are pretty much the same tells a different story, one of Avenger Chuck. It explains that Chuck has a family but left to start a new life with dreams of entertaining others & Pascqually was just an ordinary pizza chef who got a gig thanks to the mouse.
So, either Avenger Chuck considered the orphanage his "folks" if he indeed was an orphan or maybe CEC entertainment sort of retcon the backstory for the 2017 version of the song, which probably wouldn't matter if Rock Star Chuck is a DIFFERENT character from Avenger Chuck.
You kinda rock dude
we havent been scared from animatronics we have been TERRIFIED
you scared me so much with FNAF when i was 7 lol
Kind of shocked we haven’t done this episode already
I used to work at a Chuck E. Cheese AS Chuck E. Cheese & I never heard anything even half as interesting as the stuff in this video! Thank you, Team Theorist, this video was quite the treat!
Chuck E. Cheese should not get into horror crap, they are just a kids restaurant…
@@kinsou3865
I was just surprised that I never heard any of the lore despite working there. But full disclosure, I quit that job because it was making me hate children... & their parents. I don't know what it is about wearing a mascot costume(which reeked) that made kids(including teens) wanna beat me up, but it was constant & thankless.
Its so awesome to have somebody who's really famous on TH-cam who is finally talking about the entire characters of Chuck E. Cheese. I mean serisously, outside Chuck E., the rest of the cast are tragically underrated. 👌🏻😆 Pasqually & Mr. Munch are my boys
I agree completely, although I'm on the side of the Rock Afire
Calling chucky is everyone’s favourite mouse completely erasing Mickey Mouse
Jasper has good taste in books though, I had to read ‘of mice and men’ last year in school and it’s a great book, i recommended, the book has amazing characters and an amazing plot twist, it pulls off funny and just devastating events in scenes, if you ever have the option to read this book i recommend, it’s a great book. 👍🏻
Noo not Of Mice and Men! That book was so sad ;(. However, I must admit it was well written.
Matpat i love how your scripts always make sense wether or not you’re able to see the visual queues, it’s really amazing and I’m sure makes a lot of people super happy to watch ur videos and not miss out on anything, please keep doing it!
Love your videos!
Figured its worth mentioning that the video breakdown of the animatronic character is actually Mitzi from The Rockafire explosion.
The two bands are actually created by two different people(companies), but, some of the rockafire explosion characters were retrofitted into chuck-e-cheese characters! Pretty neat actually 🔥
Ironic that a guy’s Pizzeria went Bankrupt because of the company he Co-founded!
1:25 Thanks for giving me a heart attack Mat Pat
I once had my cousin come over and he said we were gonna watch the chucky movie. Only being 6 years old at the time, I assumed he was talking about the Chuck E Cheese movie, but instead I was tricked into watching a horror movie about a serial killer doll. Now I’m wondering if the Chucky movie I watched wasn’t so bad compared to the one I could’ve watched…
The origins of Chuckie cheese is similar to alivne and the chipmunks Dave wanted to get rid of them in his home once they sing and he heard their singing he brought them to his house and used them later got attached to them got the girls and later adopted them as his kids

That whole oppressive business relationship, by which Pasquale kept poor Chucky in a perpetual state of singing and smiling (under pain of death), reminds me of Slurms MacKenzie - mascot of the Slurm Centralized Industrial Fabrication Unit (SCIFU) on _Planet_ _Wormulon_ - in the episode of Futurama called, _"Fry_ _and_ _the_ _Slurm_ _Factory",_ where Slurms had to party non-stop to promote business or else the Slurm Queen would crush him like a worm… crushing a smaller worm… 😅

It's Mickey not chuck
I never thought that Chuck E. Cheese could’ve been an orphan before lol
I kinda see some issues with that considering that Pasqually referred to Chuck E as "boss" in quite a bit of early Pizza Time Theater skits, also Chuck got away with roasting even Pasqually in the segments during those timelines.
As someone who works at Chuck E. Cheese, I can just say the animatronics got a whole lot less harrowingly terrifying. There's only one, and it's Chuck E. And he's cute. I love lookin' at him. I do love hearing about creepy theories surrounding the franchise, and I love being there after dark with the animatronic.
Matpat and animitronics a pair that cannot be broken
"A hippo with jiggle physics" got me😂😂😂
Imagine a restaurant that opened and hired people (like the waiters) as characters and the whole thing is some kind of story/lore that can be pieced all together lol.

The inner bark can be eaten raw. It can also be laid out to dry to grind into flour later (using stones if you are in an emergency situation). You could then mix with water to bake or fry over a fire (like a pancake). Another option is to cut the bark into thin strips to boil in water, like noodles. Roasting smaller pieces by the fire until they are light brown in color is also a possibility.
Anyone want Christmas tree pancakes
I remember that other episode mainly because Amy was so charming! And of course the nostalgia of Chuck E Cheese in general. But this episode was amazing, and chilling! Loved it, MatPat!✌🏾
Funny enough, Dave & Busters seems to have gradually been replacing Chuck E Cheese over the years. On another note, I can’t help but think Scott may have taken his kids to Chuck E Cheese a few times, being the inspiration, or at least coincidence, for Five Night’s at Freddy’s Freddy Fazbear’s pizza.
Film theory mixed with food theory + game theory = ultimate lore theory
At this point Matt Pat could make fig Newton lore lol
Whenever I see MatPat post a video that taps into horror I think it would be a nice little scare and then I click on the video and suddenly remember that this is the guy who tried to eat his Christmas tree… twice
