Theorists, by now most of us have seen the videos by @EddyBurback and @TedNivison. They inspired me to take my own trip to a Rainforest Café, so while I was out of the country I went to the one in Paris! No, not for the food or the ambiance. For. The. LORE! That's right. I needed to find out if this theme restaurant had any hidden lore and, Theorist, I think it may just be the next FNAF. Yes, you read that right. Let's go!

I’m happy to see my idea of driving to every Rainforest Cafe in the USA blossom into a global phenomenon
ted will save the rainforest cafe
remember that time when you got high for a day straight
You are my king
You truly are an amazing man :)
Ted you have an odd obbession with this restaurant chain
thank you for going to another one so I don't have to
Eddy! Hi
Are you sure you haven't gone to that one though?😂
You made a sacrifice to provoke the rest of the world to become like this
Lmao
Eddy love your stuff and matpats. My favorite is definetly your divorce mukbang
This is without question the most creative way I've ever seen to write off a family dinner as a business expense.
I used to love this place when I was really little. I was like borderline obsessed with jungles and nature for over half of my life tbh. I still like their aesthetic too.
We all love ourselves a themed restaurant chain!
I like the part at 12:41 where I'm in the video. Now officially part of the Food Theory universe.
Congrats! You're finally part of the TCU
(Theory cinematic universe)
Congrats man! Still waiting for my time
Yeah the part where he went to the rainforest cafe was pretty insane
Congrats man. Now we have to find the others--
Congratulations
I went in expecting lore like “oh no someone died” or “the food was terrible”
But Instead I got a history of a restaurant and a life lesson
Honestly, isn’t that what we all need sometimes?
@@thememeqween I guess we do need that sometimes...
I love how “the food was terrible “ is up there with “oh no someone died”
@@avarice8765 the food was so terrible that someone died
True
Mats son is slowly becoming the heir to game, film, and food theory!
Oliver Patrick! Heir to the theory throne! It has a nice ring to it
The young master lol
I look forward to the day that the theory channels will once again have a Patrick at the helm
Yeah! Also I’m from the future yall and…MatPat alr retired….
Little Ollie being part of the intro and then Mat reassuring him during the thunder is so cute; way to go there, Dad.
Also, totally screaming over the shout out to your hometown Mat and the amazing river that caught fire twice. As a Medina native myself, it’s always fun to here those bits about you talking about your childhood home.
It’s so cute how Ollie mimicks his dads expression and tone when talking about food theory and his videos. It’s so sweet, ollie is definitely going to be a good theorist like his father!
Hes following in papas footsteps
agreed
The future heir to the Theorist throne indeed.
@beyond your imagination English.exe has failed
He can definitely go down that road if he likes!
"Welcome to rainforest cafe, what can we get you?"
"I'd like lore."
"That's not on our menu."
"TELL ME THE LORE."
it's on the special secret menu
We can give you a history of the American middle class and a wholesome lesson, but that's about it.
Free pass
LOL
I can just imagine Matpat slaying his hands on the coner and yelling that at them 🤣
Man, I love Ollie. He looks like such a sweetheart, and I'm so jealous.
Oh my! First time seeing Oliver more grown, so cool to share theory crafting as a family 🥰
Ollie already pick up on MatPat’s ways of opening a video. They grow up so fast
Oh wow, over 2,000 likes
So many bots replied to u 😭😭
@@gabiiiiiiiii.k I’ve noticed
the way he said "In ThE JUnGlE" made me laugh so hard
@@icantchangemyname6753 what's wrong with The Boys?
@@Aspenstorpemusic I feel really stupid right now 😢😢😢
Matpat: this was surprisingly expensive.
Stephanie: the “lore” here could pay for our eats.
Ollie: - takes notes.
LMAO
I wanted to go to this sooo badly as a kid. My parents never let me :( I'm hoping I can go to the Disneyland Paris location this year before it's announced its gonna close or something. It feels safe, magical, silly. The message at the end really summed it up for me, it feels like such a wonderful experience of child-like wonder :')
I lived near a mall with a Rainforest Cafe for a few years during college, and although I didn't really have much nostalgia for it (I think I only went once as a very young kid) I really appreciated the atmosphere even just outside of the restaurant. It was a bit more shaded, the walls were made of tropical wood (or plastic that looks like it more likely) and it actually had a much more relaxed vibe than the rest of the mall, so it was nice to pass by it as the last thing I see before I'm out the door.
Ollie is so freaking adorable. You’re right, you little theorist, this will be quite the whacky theory
If you told me Rainforest Cafe is the result of someone experiencing some sort of insane acid trip, told their friends about it, and they told him "You should replicate that acid trip and make it an actual concept"....I'd believe you. We wish we had one of the international locations of the chain. It'd be a nice fit at my palace for Rodman and I.
Kim-Jong-un my great leader!
Nani
He is very cute. Made my day honestly
ay wanna team up and start world war 3
Why did you make that your name
This episode is just full of surprises, Matt went to Paris, Oli speaks like he runs the Theory channels and I just learned in tandem about American history and the benefit of a fake forest chain restaurant on the psychee
And not to mention the fact that these restaurants are dying out, which makes me real sad
I mean both of his parents are really smart so I feel like he’d pick up on things easily.
They probably take time to teach him stuff too
His speech pattern was exactly like Mats. Loved it.
There is a rainforest cafe in the Katy mills mall because I live in Texas
Agreed, also like your profile picture.
There was a Rainforest Cafe in my city mall. I don’t think we ever ate there but we did play in it. I have a vague memory of my mom talking in her phone and holding my shirt like a cat making sure I didn’t fall into the “river” where the crocodile lives
🤭💗💗💗 adorable ~
Ok
The intro was absolutely adorable. We need more Ollie!
This is exactly why i love living in Japan. They've kept the weird and adventurous themed cafes and restaurants alive while they are slowly dying in the US.
wacky fun restaurants are HIGH on my list of reasons i want to visit japan ngl
I feel like we need a designated area for them to thrive. Like a theme park but only streets of themed restaurants and no rides
Thrive in the US that is

I love how the LOREEEE is just history. I expected you to say something along the lines of " The animals take children and steal there souls while their parents get hypnotized or spelled into thinking that they never had children or just forget who they are/ were." You know, but this video is still cool, educational and entertaining. Thanks!

This past summer, I finally got to meet my online friends. We had known each other for years, and we had all saved enough to get a small Air BnB and have a week of fun in person. We picked Niagra Falls Canada, since about half of the group lived there. On the second day, we spent our time at Clifton Hill (basically Niagra Fall's tourist trap). I got to spend the day watching the falls and going on rides with my friends. Then we rounded out the night at the Rainforest Cafe. Ted and Eddie's video had recently came out, so we all NEEDED to go there for the joke. But, we ended up having such an amazing time. We all got to laugh and bond and be with each other for the first time in person, with the backdrop of the Rainforest Cafe. We laughed at the elephant screaming next to us, acted fake scared at the lightnight, and actually ate some half decent food (even though it cost most of the money I had set aside for food the entire trip). While many of peoples fond memories of this place was from childhood, I am still happy to say that I as an adult have made memories to last a lifetime at this chain.
TH-camr: *explains he'll go to every rainforest cafe in the US and Canada.*
MatPat: "However, he forgot to go to Paris."
Important Disclaimer: Eddy didn't buy tickets to Morbius, he bought tickets to a good movie and snuck into Morbius. He has standards
Professionals have standards
You know what? I support this
The funniest part of the video was him worried he’d die of embarrassment if he was caught sneaking IN to Morbius
It was “Everything Everywhere All At Once” that he bought tickets to. Standards indeed, we commend you Eddy lol.
What do you mean? Morbius is the movie of all time!!
I just cannot get over Mat's beard- he's such a dad now and Ollie is soooo precious and smart! Yall are such a cute family
You can call him DadPat
Dad and son are sooo cute
When I was younger, there was a Rainforest Café in Chicago that my family took me to every once in a while. Unfortunately it closed during the pandemic, but what I wouldn’t give to revisit that specific location just to see it again. I’m glad to see the Rainforest Café also lives on in other peoples’ hearts, and now Ollie’s, too
It is CRAZY how their son is an exact 50/50 blend of Mat and Steph! Seriously, he's a perfect amalgamation of their most striking features, like the pair did a fusion dance and then got reverse aged xD
It sparks more joy than I can put to words that Ollie's having fun with Papa-Pat's work.
@our hero begone bot!
@our hero no
yeah
@Valen nah
When the video opened up and they were talking about lore, I was like “ah yes, who died this this time? What secrets does this family friendly restaurant hold? What have you uncovered MatPat?” And then I was hit with genuine feelings, memories of childhood, and history facts that I wasn’t prepared for. I don’t know wether to be upset that there are no skeletons in closets or sad that there isn’t one near me
I'm still sad hearing about the one Rainforest Cafe that I could've reasonably gone to (Yorkdale Mall) closed down awhile back, I miss the days of getting spooked by the tree and tossing pennies into the crocodile mouth
The description said "this might be the next FNAF" but there wasn't even any thory here??
There's one but its so far away from me but i have to travel to America
Sad that there isn't a skeleton near you. Ngl that's pretty weird man but hey you do you.
@@jjtv9928 and if you do find a skeleton make sure one of its eyes (specifically the skeletons left eye) *isn't* glowing, yeah just a tip
its pretty rare to find one with fish. ours in Gurnee illionis got rid of them because they were just too expensive to maintain. also, the gift shop now is SUPER tiny now.
I loved the rainforest cafe growing up, i would always sit on the bar stools that looked like animal legs (only the ones with a tail for some reason) Great memories of that restaurant with my family
When my cousin survived cancer, our entire family went to Disney to celebrate. One night we ate at the rainforest cafe. My family was the only ones who had already eaten there, so I watched them experience all the lovely chaos for the first time. Special memories I’ll never forget
That’s so sweet. I’m glad your cousin’s okay now!
that sounds like an amazing time. Especially after such a serious experience it's great to get a little silly.
@@anoyint it was the most magical Disney experience I’ve ever had. When we took a family photo on Main Street, the morning show was just finished up, and fireworks launched into the air. Our photos had litteral fireworks framing the castle behind us.
Basically something similar for me my little brother had cancer and his make a wish pick was to go to Florida/Disney and we went to this restaurant also. I think there was also a dinosaur themed one also
@@Alex32304 I love the Dino restaurant! we chose the rainforest one bc it’s more fun for kids, and we were all really young at the time. I remember once I deliberately stuck my ear up a geode and the Dino one bc I wanted to see if the crystals would fit up my ear 😂
The stark difference in Eddies and Teds videos make me laugh every single time. Teds video is childish joy and excitment with dragging his friend along on this journey and Eddies is like a slow decent into madness
2 sides of the same coin. Like the story of 6 blind guys separately admiring an elephant. Someone felt the side and thought it was a wall, one felt the trunk and thought it was a snake, etc. These seem irrelevant but everyone has a perspective on everything lol
one guy comment in the videos that "Eddie was wondering why Ted didn't decent into madness like him, but Ted is already mad" I think about that alot
Yes
Three bots with a total of 4 bot comments.. great.. 2 having a video link, 2 saying it’s better than the youtuber. WAT
Bro him cutting to him wearing a buckys hat killed me
The first time I ever went to a rain forest cafe I found alittle bit of mold on the bottom of my bread bowl and the waitress and manager were SUPER apologetic. I didn’t really care I grew up in an “eat around the mold” family so I was just expecting maybe a new entree or comping my meal. NO they paid for my whole family’s meal (6 people) and we got a free dessert!! This is a long story to say they are the best and thanks for the free food 7 years ago
seeing matpat with a beard feels like something i never thought on but its probably the best thing i've saw in this channel
MatPat can find lore in anything and I appreciate that
Fr
Dude got botted
I appreciate it too.
I don’t care how much bots I get I’m not falling for them
He’ll find lore on why theirs so many bots on this comment
I went to the Rainforest Café when I was super young. It’s a core memory that I can never forget. Im going to have to bug my parents to go there again to recreate pictures. It’s exciting to see a theory about a unforgettable childhood memory of mine!
I have never seen Matpat with a mustache! You learn something new every day!
I love how Matt and Stephanie are more interested and intrigued by Rainforest Cafe than Ollie himself is 😂😭
You got to teach those kids how it's done 😆
Lol yeah 😂
Well, it IS the dad's idea to go to the rainforest cafe 😂
He's so cute tho he so little and sweet
Ikr
His kid just radiating his father’s energy…looks like we know who’s gonna take over the channel soon🤣
as dantdm said "he's gonna start at the bottom, like his papa"
The modern family business
Oh yah Oli theory
Yeah by the time matpat passes on ☠️ Ollie’s gonna make theories of his own
I went to a rainforest cafe once when I went to Disney world with my family. I don't remember much, but I do remember the rainstorms (those were my favorite parts) and the dinosaur themed build a bear where I got a pink stegosaurus. It's one of those restaurants I want to go to again, and definitely will at so point
My heart is so full with this video! I grew up without a lot of money, but I always loved lizards and frogs. My mom found Cha Cha and Iggy at a goodwill once and gave them to me for Christmas. I loved those toys, but had no idea what they were. About 5 years later, we got to go on a trip to Michigan for my dad's job. At the mall they had a rainforest cafe. I was 10 years old and we were just walking by when I saw Iggy and Cha Cha inside. I practically screamed and went running inside. We couldn't afford to eat there, but just seeing that world come to life around me, seeing my little toys moving on a larger-than-life scale, it was the most magical moment. I got a stuffed snake from the gift shop that I still have to this day. Rainforest cafe will always hold a special place in my heart.
MattDad is so precious to me. Just knowing he has a kid who probably thinks he has the coolest job 😩
Wdym “probably”
He has the coolest job.
What’s better than Animatronic jungle restaurant theories?
@@lDontExist yeah, imagine going to disneyland with your dad and finding dark lore (seems cool to me)
@@firamation8114 sounds great.

We all know that Ollie is eventually going to take over all the Theory channels when he gets older. Keep adding him in, MatPat!
Nepotism
@@revolutioninthedark7048 dumb, he’s basically inheriting them, it’s just a matter of when. And that’s if he’s even interested in them, they may be passed down to someone else
OlPat.
@@silver7215 That’s basically what nepotism is!!! Seriously do you have rocks for brains?
@@revolutioninthedark7048nepotism: the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.
MatPat is not favoring his son by giving him a job, for one, he’s still far too young, two, having him in a video doesn’t mean anything except just showing they’re having family bonding time, three, don’t mistake what OP said as anything other than opinion, and four, this is all on the assumption you seem to have that MatPat is even thinking on giving the channel to his kid, and on the other assumption that his kid even wants to do it. So if anything, you’re the smooth brain around here, next time, talk only when you have real information and not assumptions.
There’s actually one in London! I’ve been there and it was so nice and the food was SCRUMPTIOUS 😋
12:30 Sloth in the background :)
They’re my favourite animal
My experience with Rainforest Cafe is all from the one near me, so maybe each is different, but my experience is that you go for the atmosphere, not for the food. The animatronics, the decorations, the sound effects and lighting, are all lovely. The food is... mediocre. At least it's not outright bad food, I guess.
I agree the drinks are pretty good but the food is meh.
I went there as a baby in Minnesota a long time ago I can barely remember it and I thought it was a dream and this year I went to Minnesota and saw that it’s a real restaurant but we didn’t go but it shocked me when I saw it lol
I just went this year when I went to Disney and the food was decent
But the environment was definitely higher priority there
are you a structure block?
@@bjmax3045 Maybe 😀
Oh yeah I can definitely see Ollie taking MatPat’s place in theory crafting when Mat gets too old or retires
@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 WHAT THE FU
@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 cool
Nobody:
MatPat:Is Rainforest Cafe the new Fnaf
@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 First thing, why. Second thing, you lied to me.
@@dittodemo1234 you really wanted to see that.
Losing this place near me was heartbreaking, it's still my favorite restaurant as an adult.
I love how Matt and Steph just take advantage of their son's cuteness. 🤣🤣🤣
I can imagine Ollie going to school and the class being asked about what their parents (specifically their dads) do for work
"My dad is a firefighter!"
"My dad is a pilot!"
*"My dad sits in front of a computer all day and yells about not being able to solve the lore of FNAF!"*
"He's been doing it for a while now."
"My dad cooked dinner in the laundry dryer"
"My dad analyses an hour long horror series frame by frame and turns it into a 25 minute acid trip!"
He’d prolly get bullied lowkey
@@Smartchimp77 I don’t think so, his dad is pretty famous, he’d probably have some of the older kids looking out for him
“Rainforest Cafe, which has an entire Jumanji’s worth of predatory animals, hasn’t spawned a single nightmare.” Oh, Matthew, you should have seen the terror in my younger brother every single time we had to walk past Nile the animatronic Alligator in the Rainforest Cafe swamp in our local mall. He was morbidly afraid of it.
My current partner joked that they were traumatized by the animatronics that I didn’t even notice the one time I went to our local one.
:skull:
When I lived in Gurnee, the my siblings and I always made our parents stop so we could throw pennies on it
@@707Honeypot same here, we used to through change everytime I went passed the rainforest cafe
MORBIUSLY AFRAID
I like how he said "were supposed to have" in regards to live animals like birds, the one in Canada in metro town totally did have 3 live cockatoos
This video makes me remember the time I spent at Rainforest Cafe, there was one in a mall near my house and I ate it all up, I loved the place. I even got a Plush Snake from the shop that I still have to this day. Sure, it's banged up abit, but the video made me think about it alittle more.
This wasn't really a theory, but I like it, I like just hearing history lessons from Matpat disguised as evidence for a theory
Honestly, I don't really mind. Matpat is a great historian in general, and it is a nice change of pace from traditional theory content.
Yes that is so true
Technically, each channel is just a different class, food theory is like home ec and history and game theory is math and I don't know what film theory and style theory would be cause I haven't watched either in either a while or period
MatPat is the only person who could look at a spec of dust and think “ITS LORE”
Well, he's not the only one since it has rubbed off on me.
Girly
The location where I grew up no longer exists. Probably a good thing. I got food poisoning there all 3 times I went. I see Rainforest Cafe and my body shudders in memory of how sick I got after going there. Clearly that location had issues.
6:53 when he says "look like, but in colour", the like button lights up, I love it
This video is so genius in so many fun ways, It's the team cashing in on the recent Rainforest Cafe hype, an actual cool an comprehensive history lesson on theme restaurants and a genuine heartfelt discussion on restaurant escapism.
Tbh, this is literally the first time I've heard of this restaurant, and I've never had a video recommended to me

Oliver: Dad, can we eat at Rainforest Cafe?
Mattpatt: Sorry Ollie, we’re having leftovers from our last experiment.
Oliver: They have lore.
Mattpatt:

I have great idea for the last quarter of the logo kid theory where ollie who is basically the host asks a question and mat explaining it in the most detailed way possible with all facts supporting
I am so glad you even mentioned Bugaboo Steakhouse. That place was my childhood. As a kid growing up outside of Boston, I had so many birthday parties there (well and Bertucci's). I miss Bugaboo and cried the day the one local to me closed.
Love how Ollie is starting to become a theorist like his parents and even helping them out!

He is stronger than goku
@shinyfox ikrrr
Love the part where Ollie said “it’s theorin’ time” and theorized all over those Rainforest cafe Customers and employees. Truly one of the theories of all time.
It is truly one of the theories of all time
I loved this restaurant as a kid and tried to go to it every trip and I still do. I love these theories too.
I didn’t notice until the ent of the intro but Mat’s relationship with Ollie brought a smile to my face. Y’all are too wholesome❤
the part at 7:00 where he talks about how people living through such a hard time made them decorate with as many colors and patterns as they could is really shining light on why eclectic maximalism is having a resurgence again now. i love when history repeats itself

I used to love the Galveston location.
I picked Galveston as a family vacation spot two additional times because of that restaurant.
after collectively seeing eddys video, me and three of my friends went to the disney springs rainforest cafe. it was expensive and the wait was long, but I'm glad that I went. my friend did get covid (she did something dumb), but I don't blame the cafe. overall a good experience
I'm pleasantly surprised that this is more of an appreciation video that was very sweet and endearing. Glad to see some much-needed comfort in the chaos that is our world now-a-days. Hope you're doing well Matpat and taking care of yourself along with your family
Thank you. 😊😊

@@pauliusbrenkevicius2087 BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY
And now Ollie has inspired an episode!
As a 90s child I loved visiting the Rainforest Cafe in Kansas City because I was fascinated with the animatronics. However, my parents could never afford eating there or buying anything from the store. So most of my childhood when we went to the mall was just getting to spend time standing and watching the animatronics in the store area, my favorite being the crocodile that would eat pennies at the front. Unfortunately my parents and I relocated to Arizona far away from any of the locations of this restaurant.
On a lighter note my relatives took me to eat inside once I was a preteen for my birthday. They also bought me a shirt, a collectors plate, a tiny storage box, and a few lizard and frog toys. I still have the storage box today.
5:53 I had one of those near where I live. It had a talking moose head that freaked me and my siblings out as kids. It shut down around 2012, but it was finally bought out a few years ago and was turned into a moose-themed casino, presumably so the owners didn’t have to redo the outside of the building
The way Mat calms Ollie during the thunderstorm sounds. 😭 my heart
There once was a rainforest cafe at Downtown Disney at Disneyland. I used to go there almost every single trip when I was younger. I never knew there was lore.
@Long Beach Griffy short Nice try, ad and comments saved me.
There still is, i was down there a couple weeks ago and they have a volcano to show where it is.
They changed it into a star wars gift shop
Same I remember that one! I was not pumped for it, because of the thunderstorms every 20 mins and its always loud because it reminds me of FNAF with jungle vibes I love their food but I've never had it since!
I live right by the mall of America, and when I was little, we would sometimes go to the rainforest café. And one time we went there for my little sisters birthday, (which was actually on earth day) and they were celebrating earth day by having the little kids (like we were) plant pipe-cleaner flowers in real soil and pots for us to take home. This just goes to show that you were right! And my sister and I never went to chuck-e-cheese because... it was loud and creepy. So yeah :)
I went to Rainforest Cafe during a school trip to Toronto. I was barely having fun during that trip but i loved that restaurant because it combined some of my favorite things; food and animals
I find it adorable that Ollie has already inherited his Dadpat's intros
Girly
I just like to imagine Mat and steph having a nice family time and then just pulling out their note books in front of oli to talk about murdered kids and the lore about how actually the crying child is ness from earthbound
Ollie's first theory :)) We gotta get him a little mini lab playset thing if he doesn't already have one.
The rainforest cafe is super cool I agree, but you cannot say that as children you weren’t terrified of eating there! To me as a child this was somehow more terrifying to me than Chuck-e-cheese. Like I’d cry genuine tears inside the rainforest cafe anytime we were sat anywhere remotely close to an animatronic, and the thunder storms were what freaked me out the most. It was constant noise occasionally interrupted by louder noise and yet now I’m able to appreciate it for the absolute jungle of an experience that it is. Thank you Rainforest Cafe for the comfort you bring others and for the night terrors you gave me.
By the day Ollie looks more and more like an exact combination of you two it’s amazing, Ollie being a little theorist is adorable
so should I just assume that every restaurant has lore?? what's next?? Whataburger???
I mean every restaurant that has mascot characters has "lore". It's not that weird. Those character descriptions and activity pages kids get is "lore".

Mat has taken his theories to the next generation
I grew up going to rainforest café at least twice a year up until I was 8. Watching this made me happy to remember those old memories. And lore about it? Even better.
Wow I was expecting the usual "There is Dark Scary lore here" Theory like always. I mean it is literally his Job to (as he puts it) "Ruin our childhoods" after all. So this was very unexpected! But very sweet and nice, a break from the usual dark stuff. Also Ollie IS THE CUTEST KID EVER!!!
Strangely enough, I was never scared of the Rainforest Cafe. I always wanted the thunderstorms to happen and always got super excited when it did. If anything, my Grandma was more scared of it than little me 😅

OH MY GOD Ollie's picking up the Matpat theorist vocal pattern! I can hear the same inflections mid-sentence and held extensions on the final word at the end of the sentences. I swear, he's a step away from learning how to mimic the scratchy vocal cord distortion that's used for the enthusiastically louder parts of the theorist voice.
Dadpat mode is adorable, and I crave more of it. As far as I'm aware, Ollie cameos have been clips of simple feedback questions or Matpat sharing a story of Ollie in the "witty banter" section of GTlive videos, so this was a cute surprise.
I'm a sucker for chill parent-child hanging out/activities because my Dad did that with me for as long as I can remember. So wholesome. ^-^
i agree! as dumb as it sounds, i feel like it's easy to forget that you tubers have families and stuff outside of youtube so seeing ollie is cute :) (also I went to like this comment and accidentally disliked it lol. I am very sorry please take my like)
I’ve been to one for my cousin’s birthday in Riverside California and of course it was in a mall and when I was little at the time the thunderstorm freaked me the crap out. Don’t know if it’s still there.
There's one about 30 min away from me in Edison, NJ.
It was a pleasant trip, but the wait times were pretty long. It was fairly early (noon) and it wasnt that crowded, but it took 40 min for us to get 2 burgers, sides n some chicken dish. We were probably 1 of 3 people bc it was middle of the day on a weekday.
Atmosphere, yes...wonderful, lively n enjoyable. Staff was very pleasant.But that wait time was pretty arduous.
As a kid we would lose our appetite going bc we would take a nap waiting for the food, wake up n no longer be hungry
I Love how Oliver makes impression of matpat's voice in the beginning of the video
MINI-Pat is wholesome
How the conversation for this definitely went:
"Do you wanna go to the Rainforest Cafe?”
"Do you have a coupon?“
“Well if we make a video, we can write it off”
“So no coupon but we have a camera?“
"That works for me“
"Thats Cleveland pride right there! Takes a special city to set the water on fire." and launch so many balloons into the air to set a world record but ended up polluting the lake and clogging waterways which hindered a rescue mission out on the lake and led the coast guard to not find the fishermen they were looking for.
??? Can someone explain this comment to, me, i dont get it
@@ireallylikenuggets9490 the first one was what they imagine the pitch for the video was. For the second, they probably accidentally pasted a comment about the Cleveland Balloon Incident but decided to keep it for the heck of it.
Edit: No that's wrong! I just realized. The comment is about Cleveland setting *rivers on fire, something mentioned in the video.
What
Bugaboo Creek! I had forgotten all about it until now. LOVED that place...while I lived in Canada.
oml ollie is so precious in this video 😭 so happy i decided to rewatch this
MatPat is definely evolving into DadPat. The beard is forming. Soon the videos will be half puns..
Oh, wait.
Yeah the beard scared me
For once, matpat came up with a theory without ruining our childhood.
Y E S
The prophecy has been fulfilled
Ikr hahaha
Omg your right
Matpat telling his kid that the magic he’s seeing is all lights and sounds is the most matpat thing ever.
I love his wholesome relationship with his kid and family
0:18 I'm so used to that image Matpat always uses to represent himself in videos that seeing him in person is slightly uncanny....
Or maybe it's just the facial hair.
It's the hair .
It’s both
It’s just the facial hair.
