Hello there
Hope you remember this corny comment
I was hired specifically as a Walk Around Character at Chuck E Cheese in 2003 when I was 16. At that time, at least, we didn't have people switch off randomly. There were two of us with this specific role. We also only had one costume. I'd been acting and doing puppetry since I was a little kid so it was a dream job. On busy days, it was 20 minutes on the floor, 10 minutes resting. They were very serious about that rest time being taken. On slower days I'd spend less time on the floor and usually worked the prize counter in between costume sessions.
I never went to chuck e cheese all that much as a kid. However, they were one of the primary sponsors for the PBS kids network. So after every show I'd always see an ad for it lol.
Me too, especially the ones where they did jumping jacks.
Same here
I saw the ads too!
Yes!!!!!!
@@sarahsims6164 That brought back some childhood memories.
i was born in 2001 so ''avenger chuck'' was my guy. can't wait for Mickey month!
Same I was born in 2005
Born 2004, same here
2002 same again!
@@multiverseman4017 welcome to the avenger chuck cult
Yesss
In my Chuck E. Cheese days, Chuck E. would dance to the Cupid Shuffle.
Yes same
Same 🤣🤣🤣
That’s how I first heard of the song/dance
Young little me doing it with chuck 😭
YESSSSSSS HE STEPPED ON MY BARE FOOT DURING IT ON MY BIRTHDAY 🤣 my biggest question is WHY WAS I BAREFOOT IN THERE?!? Also I was deathly afraid of him but went every year for my birthday and would scream and hide..my teeth chattered on the way there. I even ran away whenever I was done with a game so I didn’t hear his voice then I ran back to get my tickets
SAME!!!!
My main memories of going to Chuck E Cheese as a kid are dad pulling a bag of leftover game tokens from my older siblings out of the kitchen junk drawer so he wouldn't have to buy me any. Then afterwords, putting all the tickets I won into the same drawer so that after a few more elementary school classmates' birthday parties I would have enough for a pretty cool toy car instead of a lame little whistle.
ok but that's actually pretty smart
I saved my tokens over the years, and now they aren’t even used anymore. Now I own a collector’s item
Yeah, my dad was a business professor lol
Ditto
@@Sea_of_Waves same! I was cleaning my room the other day and I found my wallet that I thought I had lost. And when looking through it, I found 4 very old Chuck E Cheese tokens. One from 2000 (wasn’t even conceived yet), one from 2009 (the year after I was born), and 2 from 2010. It was weird.
As a former CEC Cast Member I enjoyed this video. Reminds me of when I used to look up old shows on YT to see the characters doing something different than the routines at work at the time. I’d love to see an evolution of the CEC band over time.
Glad to meet another former CEC cast member. I loved my job as a gameroom attendant there, but i had to leave a bit over a month ago after i had landed a full time job elsewhere. I still visit them occasionally though to chat with my old coworkers and grab a pizza
The old chucks cheese was better the new one sucks
Unique potato
@@LORDFR1EZA nostalgia
The biggest mistake CEC ever made was getting rid of the animatronics and putting in a dance floor, only a matter of time before some kid slips on a wet dance floor and injury occurs resulting in a major lawsuit from an angry parent and it shuts down the franchise
I can never stop laughing at the old Chucky E cheese costume
Lol "chucky e cheese"
“Chuck E. Cheese looks GOOD in a tuxedo! I want him to marry me-“
You know what, me too, Dan.
lol
@TheBreadThief Me three
Me four😂
Ah yes, the history of a powerful rat named Charles Entertainment Cheese
Ahh I came to the comments to see if anyone said this 😹
There it is
That gave us all nightmares
A powerful rat named chuck e
Also Known As *big chuck*
90s Chuck is best Chuck prove me wrong, the current one is honestly terrifying
PTT Chuck (1977-1984) is the best one. He had a rough, but still funny personality.
The 90s Chuck is responsible for my masklophobia
@@papachillothezappey4050 the original I loved the jersey...new York mafia like rat they designed. I've always liked unique rough around the edges characters that have soft hearts underneath.
I saved my tokens over the years, and now they aren’t even used at the stores anymore. Now I own a collector’s item
I had some from back in the day
Same.
Dan: *jokes about smelly costumes before plugging scented candles*
Me: I see what you did there
We do not speak of our ripof-err version of Chuck E Cheese, Club Disney
Yes
Can we appreciate how far the bowler hat got? Sped straight through the 80s 90s and early 2000s
Ohhhh jeez, you reminded me - when I was about four (early/mid nineties), my parents took me to Chuck E. Cheese. I wanted to give the walkaround Chuck E. a hug, but was too scared (can't imagine why??). My mom and dad gently encouraged me until I finally screwed up my little child courage and went running across the restaurant, arms open in anticipation. Unfortunately the person in the suit/head had no way of seeing me in their peripheral vision, and ended up bowling me over. As my wails filled the building, my dad said that he'd never forget the way that Chuck E.'s hands came up over his snout in horror 😂
Poor Mr cheese...if that was me I'd feel HORRIBLE and I'd honestly talk to the parents out of costume...and apologize and make sure the kids ok. (Yes I'm that kind of person....I would feel horrid!!!)
@@Silver_wind_1987_oh same!! As an adult I feel horrible thinking about the poor teenager working in the suit!
@@banjkazfan same here. I'd literally get out of costume. Go to the parents. Say sorry profusely and just gah I'd feel horrid
@@Silver_wind_1987_ I don't think seeing a "cartoon" character pull his head off would have made the kid feel any better, lol
@@MmMm-sf7pe no I mean completely remove it all in the back and come out and speak to the parents.
Baby: Afraid of mascots.
Kid: Loves mascots.
When quarantine is over: Forgot what a mascot is.
You could say he's a powerful rat
Named Charles Entertainment Cheese
Gave me whiplash when Kevin actually showed up to say the line...
9:59 Listen, I know you probably meant you want Charles Entertainment Cheese to officiate your wedding, but it sounds like you want Chucky as your bride.
He didn't deny it.
I see what you mean!
He’ll become (and this pun had probably been done before)… the bride of Chucky 🤣
@@cantpopdismolly Hehe I did that on purpose
First it'll be the bride of Chuck E...Then, it'll be the SEED of Chuck E. I've seen this before...
I’m sad you didn’t include the clip of his puppet saying (and I’m not kidding here you can look it up on UA-cam) “POGGERS”
I actually loved going to Chuck E. Cheese's when I was a kid in the 90's as well as the 2000's! I even took my son there a few times for his birthday! Thanks for this fun video, Dan!
Listen, I still love Chuck E Cheese pizza because above all else, my favorite flavor is nostalgia. Did you hear how they secretly rebranded as Pasqually's Pizza and sell the same pizzas with slightly thicker crust, more sauce, and more herbs and stuff on the cheese? I really liked it!
Also, as someone obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean and obsesses over all the costume differences in the films, I'd love a Distory on Captain Jack's outfits! From the original with the black/brownish hair, the piece of eight, and the reindeer femur above his bandana, all the way to part 4 Jack with the blonde streaks and the bird's head in the back. Should be fun!
Please, let’s all put some F’s in the chat for The Rock-afire Explosion, Chuck E. Cheese’s roots and undeniably better predecessor. They receive so little credit. 🥺❤️

One of my earliest memories is of being terrified of the band so my mom dragged me screaming closer to the stage.
She tried to do another Bite Of 87?
Your mom is evil...Nah, I'm joking, are you still afraid of them? Or have you conquered your fears...When you were probably a toddler something
@@solaris_knight99 No I'm not. It's still a crazy memory for me though
@@wendymccoy1093 That's good to know :)
i was born in 03 so i grew up with avenger chuck i miss it aww
Same
same!!!
The Pizza was amazing I Grew up going to CHUCK E CHEESE
Me too
Same in jaida birthday in 2019
Amazing...ly shit. I loved it, though, lol.
Big YES to a Rat Pack evolution video! 🧀🍕
I remember those print out photos! I still have some lying around of me and an old friend. Great video Dan!
Same bro i have one hanging on my wall with my sister from 2014
Oh hey! That’s my art at 12:16 ! That’s awesome, thanks man :D
Nice art
i suggest the chuck e cheese rat pack evolution next
@Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre i think they mean the other band members
The art and pictures in this video were just beautiful! I literally could not stop laughing😂
I was a Showbiz kid, so I didn't experience any Chuck E. Cheese till 5 nights a Freddie's made my son get interested. The animatronics have really been moved aside.
Awwwe he got to see what we had as kids. I met chucky when I was young...when he had the backwards hat and vest. The animatronics didn't really do much...and mostly stayed behind the curtan offline. But I did peak behind and it wasn't scary....it was just sad. Also chucky liked to give the nastiest side eye.... ×_×
Imagine the power goes out and then Chucky's behind you with a music box playing.
I miss 1989 Chuck E. Cheese! I wish I could say the older I got, the more time I spent there but we all know that's not reality. Annnnnnd it was so shocking and alienating to see his appearance evolve into what it is today as well as what the experience is for the kids when they visit the restaurant post-90's. Like I distinctly remember mazes with tubes, a pit of balls to jump into, a ton of video games and of course SEVERAL animatronic shows. The restaurant was DARK and I loved it. Now it's all bright with no animatronics and probably zero balls.
4:17 That's a young Tim Burton and I Googled it to double check.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
This video is absolutely my lane. I can talk about Chuck E Cheese history for hours.
PLEASE DO EVOLUTION OF PASQUALLY, HELEN HENNY, JASPER AND MUNCH!
that would be great
Yes
I can't wait to see that
In the 80s we didn't have Chuck E Cheese where I lived, we had Showbiz Pizza. And just like you said, to me it was like going to Disney with the animatronic show. I did get to go to an old Pizza Time Theatre once in the 80s when we were out of town and I spotted one. I begged and pleaded with my parents to go. It took a LOT of persuasion (and the threat of a meltdown), but it worked. So I got to experience both.
i wish i could've grown up with showbiz
Okay but which one did you like more
chuck e cheese singlehandedly murdered the entire rock afire explosion and i will never forgive him for that
Yes but actually no.
@@ElKaelo516 it's a joke
The PFP works too well with this comment. 🤣
@@NintegaDario i just changed it a few days ago ahaha
Sounds like someone’s been playing a little too much fnaf!
I love Chuck E Cheese, so many of my birthdays were spent there...
Early 90s Whenever Chuck E came out, I was the one hiding under the table! Lmao. He scared the crap out of me! Lol
@Paul McCartney you don’t have to cut the comment
@Paul McCartney let me finish ur comment
@Paul McCartney “I hid under the table lol.” There you go.
I miss the Chuck e of the late 90’s and 2000s. They should have kept with that style
Back in my day, Chuck E. Cheese’s would be sponsoring with PBS Kids
i agree i miss tha 90's and 2000's version
I was deathly afraid of mascots as a kid (I don't know why) so chuck e cheese was basically hell for me, like the thought of going there still makes me panic to this day, so if someone dragged me there and the walk-around character came near me I'd just start screaming and crying and hide under the table
I want the evolution of Pasqually next. He is my absolute favorite of the Chuck E Cheese lineup, and I've only ever been to Chuck E Cheese's like 4 times in my life because it terrified me as a kid. You know who didn't terrify me though? Pasqually. He's awesome and I want to know his story.
Oh OH BOOOOOOY MICKEY MOUSE MONTH I'M READY FOR THAT
I loved this video . I watched it with my mom and she enjoyed the video . She laughed and she learned new things ! You’re commentary is hilarious
Not many people realize this, but Chuck actually became a mouse in 1994 with the Cool Chuck redesign
I remember going to so many birthday parties at CEC. The play area was filthy, the food was awful, the prizes were cheap crap, and the animatronics were terrifying. I loved it.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard the Portrait show chuck E’s voice and he better have said “I would say I’m walking here, but that’s not happening”
Get it, cuz he only has a top and no legs 😏
OMG Thank You Thank You so much for mentioning me!!!!!!! I honestly knew you would do Chuck eventually, and I think you did better than me at explaining Chuck's history.
Also that guy in that one picture is Tim Burton.
Yes, please do an evolution video on all the Chuck E. Cheese characters. I remember going to a big Chuck E. Cheese here in Canada and having fun there. They had an arcade, a small ball pit and a big theatre area. I don't really remember what the animatronics looked like (this would have been the early 2000's) but it was amazing.
I never thought this would happen! I needed something like this
Can we say barcades like Dave and Buster's and Round1 are just the grown-up version of Chuck E. Cheese
The founders of Dave and Busters were big fans of Showbiz Pizza, which was also located in the Dallas area. They invited my dad (the founder of Showbiz Pizza) and I to have dinner with them one time (1984).
Man this brings back 90s and 00s nostalgia
This video is a delight, Dan! Good work!!!
People : OMG, CHUCK E CHEESE IS THE NEW FNAF. FNAF 2021!
Me : ಠ_ಠ
Ya why can't people just shut up about the fnaf rumors about cec? Those are fake
Not cool
Lmao yeah
Yes those are annoying
Freddy fazbear's pizza is not real in 2021
That new Chuck design is so damn awful and generic. Looks like a rejected video game mascot.
Poopy
He should of started smoking again
@Blues Pizza Place Aka Cyberstar Virginia Ratatouille???
oh childhood
I love CEC, but I now have a problem with the CEC at my home. It's not that I had a bad experience there. It's because I basically was told from ages 2 through 18 that Helen Henny was Chuck E.'s girlfriend. They always showcased those costume videos with them together whilst a song about falling in love played in the background. They made me think that crap was canon and I believed it for my entire childhood. It's just Helen having a crush on Chuck. I feel robbed.
I’ve only been to Chuck E. Cheese twice in my life so, I’m very jealous of your multiple experiences. I remember the first time so well! Going there to celebrate the completion of second grade. It was so fun and whimsical and made me very happy! I love 90s Chuck best for sure! Great video Dan! Nice to hear from Kevin in this video too! He is terrific at reading backstories! Please do more videos with Chuck E. Cheese someday!
I don't know if you like Barney the Dinosaur but I think you should do a evolution of the Barney, Baby Bop and BJ costumes. Cause they have a incredible history in costume designs.
Oooh yes. I was definitely a Barney kid (late 90s-early 2000s) now my kids are obsessed with all my old VHS tapes 😂
This has so far been a good one. It’s real genuine energy. I love it
I didn't expect to see this one, but still, thank you because I'm a huge Chuck E. Cheese fan.
Wow, so much Chuck E. Cheese Content on UA-cam suddenly, I'm freaking stoked! It's like Christmas!
0:23 wait, DAN, you have a rare stage!
Great video Dan
I grew up with the cool/ avenger chuck. I do and will always love the purple and green shirt and cap. It was very good. I did not know about they were in picture frames in the animatronic forms in the first Chuck E. Cheese. But yeah I grew up with that Chuck E. Cheese. Good video by the way!
great vid, Dan!
Thank you for doing chucky cheeze! I love this so much!
Chuck-e-cheese gave up smoking 🤣
I need a rat pack evolution I love this
Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. When I first started 8th grade a Chuck E cheese finally opened in my neighborhood.... Next to a brand new Toys R Us. For a kid, this was Paradise.
As a kid, the avenger Chuck/Cool Chuck was part of my childhood. Since we didn't really go to theme parks often, I visited my local location in Moreno Valley. (it's still there but after visting in 2016, it just didn't feel the same, a lot of older ticket redemption games and attractions were removed or sold.) It was huge! For a small child in the late 2000's and early 2010 decade, this building felt big. (after I became a teenager, it wasn't as big as I remembered, and that made me a little sad) I remember eating a nice pizza there on that iconic black dot pan and playing with the games and attractions with the gold tokens. I remember getting a green glitter ball as a prize, children playing in the indoor playground (that thing was so loud and I tried to crawl through it but it felt very claustrophobic as a kid, it wasn't until again I was a teen and I fully explored the playground with no children inside but again, I had to slide my body through the enterance like a snake and it felt weird) and playing with all the cool gizmos and gadgets around the arcade.
The one dislike is from Mickey mouse.
Always used to go to Chuck E Cheese when I was a kid.
I actually recently watched a video of the characters dancing to the song Bad Romance 😂😂😂
I can't lie, I love the video and I love the song
love the video dan, and the crazy thing is as I'm watching this I just got a check E. cheese ad lol
Love you’re videos
Great video, Dan! I was born in '94, and actually had my fourth birthday at my local CEC, so Avenger Chuck is the one I have the most nostalgia for. I also personally would love to see an evolution of Chuck E's rat pack at some point. Keep up the great work!
I Miss Him Even Tho I Have Never Been To Chuck E Cheese I Miss Him
Nice video, Dan! 😀 Back in my childhood in the 2000s, I grew up with the Avenger Chuck E. Cheese, as that’s the one I love growing up! 😀
Dude! You deserve way more views!
I worked at CEC for 3 years it was so fun!!! I loved being the Big Cheese!!!
YOU PLEASE MAKE VIDEO ABOUT MUPPETS GONZO AND FOZZIE BEAR PLEASE I AM BIG FAN OF YOU
hahahah, why is this comment so funny. but, i concur.
We need that!!!!!!
omg how have i been watching u all this time without being subbed!
I like these kind of videos they’re always so interesting
I’ve seen Avenger Chuck a lot since I was young and had couple of birthdays at Chuck E Cheese, also casual dining as well. He’s incredibly awesome with the yellow, green, and purple outfit. The pizza was great too even if its frozen and not fresh dough like traditional pizza. I just love the smell of pizza in the air while also having fun.
It's not frozen, the pizza is the only thing freshly made at Chuck E. Cheese's.
@@NintegaDario Oh. I always thought they used frozen dough but thanks for letting me know that they now used fresh. But I'll bet the pizza isn't hand tossed like a real pizza but still tastes like a good pizza pie.
High key want one of those bite me shirts.
I was born in 1993 and I went to Chuck E Cheese often as a kid but I swear I can remember his old design from when I was really little even though it should of been out of use by then, maybe the one I went to just never updated their costume until later. I even remember being taken aback when he switched to the purple costume with sneakers because it looked so different then what I was used to
When I was little I used to be terrified Chuck E. Cheese like I was terrified of the animatronics and even the walk around. I was so terrified back then.
Who remembers growing up in the 70s knowing that Chuckie used to call crusty the cat a jukebox
I remember one time when I was little and I didn't take medication yet for my ADHD, I ran around stealing kids tickets. My parents made me give them back and I haven't stolen anything since XD
I approve this, (except the terrible Pizza part) but i love the humor
like Cici's, Chuck E Cheese used to had better pizza in tha 90's and Early 2000's
My favorite Chuck era is probably the original Pizza Time Theater look. I mean the aesthetics and his whole personality in general is just amazing and a bit funny too. Also the Rockstar Chuck backstory is wild lol.
I worked at Chuck E Cheese for a year in high school. I will never forget the small of that costume
I have been to Chuck E. Cheese before
Pls make a vid on the evolution of the other characters at Chuck-E-Cheese’s Pizza Time Theater
I have been going to Chuck E. Cheese's since I was a baby in the late 90s. Hard to believe back then, I was scared of Chuck E. until the early-mid 2000s. I still go there today!
Great video!
11:34 Cheesevention 😏 I’ve worn this exact suit on several occasions now!
Avenger chuck was my Chuck E. Cheese , I wanna even own a plush of them thst was probably 100000000000000000000 tickets
Yeah I will say this about concept unification. It was basically making all Chuck E. Cheese restaurants combine elements of CEC and Showbiz. For instance, they kinda kept the Rock Afire Explosion alive with Munch’s Make Believe Band, because before that they were just the Pizza Time Players and didn’t have an actual band design.
Yaaaaaas!!!! Please go more into the Pizza Time Players!
