"Marvins Marvoulous Mechanical Museum"
**Immediately thinks of the album by Tally Hall**
Lethargic Creature because it’s about the place
Oh my gosh yes :DD
BRUH Y E S
hellpark pfp😳 also i thought of the same thing :’))
Oh gosh, yes. My favorite album by them
A band named tally hall has an album based on this museum.
Azers. Oh,yeah? I was not aware of that,Mea Culpa !!!!!
Any good?
@@TheMantaRae Its very Bizzare, so yes its wonderful
Also they named themselves after the mall they used to work in which was close to Marvin’s
Fuzzawuzzit same
Someone felt the world was incomplete without a vomiting animatronic.
I would have a blast here!
They closed for 4 days back in March to redo the place a bit. New carpet, got rid of a few things, added a few new things, etc. In 30 years they'd only been closed 2 days. One was for Marvin's funeral (1-12-17) and one day was for a power outage. I was his first employee when it opened. I go back there a lot to visit and also did a video or two about it on my channel. Marvin was a great man and a very unique character. If you ever come back to town let me know and I'll show you all the things that Marvin loved there and some backstory on it. .... I'll let the know the cobra is broken. HA!
I can’t express how much I love this place
Even after going there for 30 years I still see things that I didn't notice before from the pinball ceiling in the entrance way to the posters over the main counter. As you may know, Marvin was a pharmacist by day and did this when he wasn't doing that. He loved making people smile. You can see him in your video the first time you were there. If you are still in town check out the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. The museum has the chair Lincoln was shot in, Rosa Park's bus, etc. It's an amazing place that you could wander around for an entire day.
I went here a long time ago, and then I moved to the south. It looked so familiar, so I asked my dad and he said that he used to take me and my sister her all the time. It was like a Ripleys Antique Arcade!
I went there
The cobra is still broken!
That laughing sailor... Nightmare fuel!
Random Nobody yeah what the fuck. Jesus Christ.
That whole place is a nightmare fuel station.
Just imagine every animatromic breaking out of their glasses and taking over the whole building, new horror movie or book 101
lmao i knew this was coming
@@flivix2517 Night at the musuem 5 : The Horror version :O
Chicken = Helen Henny
Singing pig lady = Madame Oink
Three birds = The Warblettes
Weird hands = Clapper Board/Applause Board
Ian Michalski oh I thought they were hands from the piano act animatronics :/
Violet Funk yes
The only known current existing frame animatronics are a proto crusty and chucky but those are also portrait frame animatronics
@@alpacahat6771 same
@Foop The Hoop :but do the still work
Some of those animatronics are very old and some are very rare
But they are so cool
Erin Bricker - Urban Historian did you even read what I say? And yes there cool
Sorry, yes I read it... I meant to say, they are cool :)
Warblettes both versions, Madame Oink, the clapping hooves from the picture style show of CEC
Helen Henny
The vomiting machine was completely different! Never thought I would see something like that! These were all cool though.
haha Ikr that was pretty gross what did that dude on the table do before him ? just breathing ?
Rachael K I think that was a very old one so it was pretty basic. The early days of animatronics I guess.
That one was a trip. I filmed it when i was there.
Could you imagine walking around at night in this place
Sounds fun
That would be scary
On lsd
I'd love to.. But if any one those animatronics on the ceiling starts moving, I'm out.
Imagine being locked inside this place at night
"Is that the Devil in the window?"
Meanwhile banker dude in front of the desk is doing the Exorcist head turn.
Lol
Brilliant!
Seeing all of the strange things from the album cover of Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum by Tally Hall is so cool.
I can just imagine everyone watching your vid and screaming at your last box selection during tic-tac-toe, I mean who would pick that square, you're a monster!
He let the chicken win XD
@Austin Downing He didn't want to hurt the chicken's feelings
Laughing Sailor has always been so creepy. I'm afraid of animatronics and wax figures but I am watching this cause I love your vids haha
Same here, especially mannequins... so creepy! :)
@@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803 shut up and enjoy your horse fair
I am too! It’s called automatonophobia. I watch these vids so I know where not to go.
David Green SAMEEEE
I do too! I nearly get panic attacks and get frequent nightmares :')
7:24 imagine some kid spending a penny on this animatronic only to get mentally scarred for life D:
i have automatonophobia (fear of wax figures, animatronics, humanoid robots, etc) and i tried to watch this video to try and overcome my fear, but i started hyperventilating at just about every animatronic so rip XD this was a cool video tho! keep it up!
Lauren Creighton that’s what it’s called?? I have that too. But only with humanoid robots. The Alien franchise is scary to me, but not because of the aliens 😭
Burt C0caine yup :) i’ve had that fear for a while and i didn’t know if it was an actual phobia or not and so i looked it up and that’s what it’s called :) and humanoid robots are super scary to me, humanoid robots and audio-animatronics are really scary to me as well
Same but only with certain wax figures
I'm sure the laughing sailor didn't help?
Lmao go hide in a box and put earplugs in
"This is a machine that chops your hand off.....Let's pay for that!"
😅😅
I can smell this place just looking at the animatronics
it actually seems like they’re taken good care of tho
Not sure what you mean by this comment but the majority of attractions in this place are extremely rare and extremely valuable. This place has an inventory worth 10’s of millions of dollars. I’m sure it smells great in there.
I went there when I was in 3rd grade, it actually smelled really nice
So happy you went here! It truly is a hidden treasure in Michigan, RIP Marvin
Just imagine the electric bill.
Wait, this is a real place??? Not just a tally hall album???? Awesome!
Yup. Little bit of background on this: The name "Tally Hall" is based off of a real place called Tally Hall in a similar area in Michigan. I guess it was some kind of food court, but really to me it just seemed like some sort of mall with a ton of shops/stores in it. The only "shop" left that's still standing today is Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, which now has its own standalone building. Tally Hall named their first album after this place in tribute of the original Tally Hall.
Also, watching this video should give you a bit more background on some of their songs, specifically "Welcome to Tally Hall". Lines like "We're a marionette quintet" make a lot more sense after you visit this place.
Singing pig lady was Madame Oink, and the chicken was Helen Henny. Those three birds are also called the Warblettes! :)
All I'm thinking is tally Hall. And the album they did for this place.
Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had, so he shot at the sun with a gun,
shot at the sun with a gun,
shot at his Wiley one, only friend…
the laughing sailor is pretty creepy lol especially at 12:00 at night
We have one of those in Seattle at Old couriosity Shop
The three birds are called the Warblettes, and pig I am pretty sure is a opera singing pig that I can't remember the name of, but she was part of a "Special Guest" series at Pizza Time Theatre which included a country singing coyote, and and a disco singing skunk named Sally Skunk.
Edit: Actually, the pig didn't sing any genre of music, just HOGGED the spotlight and told joke and things like that. Her name was Madame Oink. The skunk was Sally Sashé and she did sing disco. The coyote was named Harmony Howlet. Also, the Warblettes went extinct for 1 year, and were replaced by three singing girls called the Mopsey Sisters.
To anyone who wasted a small part of their time to read this out of curiosity, have a great day ❤
Definitely some unique animatronics ive never seen before
Long live Marvin's. Its one of a kind !
No there is Cabaret Mechanical Theater which has a lot of the same things but not all the cool stuff on the walls.
Cabaret Mechanical Theater is not the same type of Venue at all. Yes one of a kind automations but not the same type of off road shop. Marvins is 1 of a kind.
Agreed
You find the coolist places! Thanks Jacob!
Lol :)
White Pants Guy don't be that guy

*coolest
I have to say, despite their age, they’re all in perfect condition. I’m surprised
oh, ive known abt this place existing from an album, but never footage! very cool.
cynicalsix banana man
It was very sad when I heard marvin had passed. It didn't feel long since I last spoke to him.
Very knowledgeable and charged essentially nothing for coins to show off the collection (with deals that they ran you could actually leave the place with MORE money than you came in with if you didn't use all the coins) .
After that, they seemed to be hemorrhaging machines, with ones I remember being there disappearing. I think a family member is running it now and I wonder if they just dont have the same connections to get the things fixed like marvin did if they ever break. It is interesting that they have a few japanese rhythm games that are usually only at places like Round1 though, as those are always good fun.
One of my favorite bands Tally Hall made an album with the name of this place and I love it
*I’ve had nightmares as a kid with characters that look like the laughing sailor 😳*
3:15 Wait...is that, no it can't be...is that Barry himself, from the bee movie?!
Haha nice catch
“...a ten percent discount for auto divorce.”
I forgot about this place--3 trials of terror was one of my favorite pieces here! I'm glad you got to do it and showed it, thanks for the memories! :-) 09:07
About the Chuck E Cheese animatronics, the chicken is Helen, the pig is Madame Oink and the 3 birds are the Warblettes.
Oh, and if you’re ever in Michigan again there’s this place called Huckleberry Junction near Flint and they have a rare Daniel And The Dixie Digger’s animatronic band in amazing shape, they’re pretty neat.
Funny that the nose picking machine played It's A Small World theme song, lol!
DjTechnoid I thought something would be attached to the finger when it came back out.
lol
Lol
@@Piecemaker1623 haha me too thought was gonna have good or boogers coming out on it
You picked a great day to go! Normally it's 3 times as crowded. Thanks for stopping at my childhood arcade again. ❤
Thus this museum inspired a few fellows to make a amazing album
1:38 ... Helen Hennie... That was my high school job, wearing that thing... And let me tell you... Those outfits STANK!!!
You really need to go see the Musee Mechanique in San Francisco. It's just like this place but with even weirder oddities
Sounds like fun!
Agreed. The og Playland location was before my time, I 1st encountered M.M. @ it's Ocean Beach Cliff House basement locale, then later @ it's current Pier 45 Fisherman's Wharf home. Crowded & loud, u never know which arcade attractions will be out-of-service on any given day, as they require constant maintenance, yet still well worth the trip. M.M. features some fantastically dated & obscure games, "movies," & mechanical marvels.
Trust me, this is soooooooooooooooooo much weirder in real life.
That Estrella's Prophecies Gypsy Fortune Teller Machine is a retrofit. The original had moving eyes and the lamps where a different style.
Known from coast to coast like butter and toast!
From headlines to bed lines, from schoolrooms to poolrooms

And if you hit me with an “A-L-L-Y” then you’ll see why the hall was meant for y’all
I had the pleasure of being able to go to this place growing up and being able to enjoy it even more as an adult. I'm glad you chose this spot on your trip to Michigan! Hope you come back soon!
Such a cool place
Tampa Jay Yup,been there twice before.but narrow spaces between machines make it hard to see or operate the machines from my wheelchair !!!!!!!
i love the longer videos! could you possibly go to "haunted" or scary places? that would be really cool also i love when anna is in your videos lolol
I love the haunted abandoned ones also
Hey, that’s me working the prize counter at 15:00 lol
Guy - “oh you two are married? How sweet! Where did you get married”
Couple that married at the auto wed - “uh... it’s complicated”
Okay, I think this is my most favorite places you visited. I was sad when it was over. You need a video of playing all the arcade games. OMG so many from my childhood!
That was so cool Susie! :)
Susie P d
I was unaware that he died , I had the pleasure to meet him when I was a little kid .
That's pretty sad he was really weird in a good way .
Back in the 60's Marvin also owned a drug store and my Aunt worked for him. We stopped in to see Marvin before he passed but was not at the museum. It's a fantastic place to visit.
It's so weird seeing this guy here, I live right by it and go there with friends all the time
Wait it's a real place? I thought it was just Tally Hall's album name!
Oh wauw, i ABSOLUTELY LOVE animatronics! I wish i could visit this place one day :D
Hey hey Native Michigander here. This is a special place . Mr.Yagoda Passed away just last January, but I can say first hand he cared that anyone who came left happy. He did not like to see a sad face
My older cousin used to work there! She would take me there regularly when I visited Michigan for family. When I was younger, she would sometimes unlock some of the games so I could get a little stuffed animal. It's a great place to visit!!
WOW! That place is like entering another world! A crazy, fun , never want to leave kind of world!!!! Awesome!
I would've been a wimp for the spider one 🕷😱
Who all thought of tally hall when they saw “marvin’s marvelous mechanical museum”
This place reminds me of a place we had in Dallas from 1978 to 2013. It was a 1920s themed pizza place called Crystals Pizza. It had a cartoon theatre set up like a 20s theatre, a main eating area with 20s decor, arcades, live entertainment on Saturdays and a coin op mechanical fortune teller. Sadly it closed in 2013 due to the new owner not keeping the place up. About 6 months ago it was finally torn down. Happy memories and I was sad to see it go.
13:42 is all I want for Christmas
HEY WAIT A MINUTW
As a Tally Hall fan it's my dream to visit this place
I was on a Tales From The Crypt binge and then I saw this video pop up and I clicked on it out of curiosity. I forgot that I was no longer watching Tales From The Crypt 6 minutes in.
One of the places I wanted to go for spring break before the virus... now one I’ll visit after
20:30 the look of someone who loves there job lol
I know I would :)

It's 'their' ... And do not forget the CAPITALS and PUNCTUATION !! (Dear sir, you managed to have 3 errors in one simple sentence. Congratulations!)

Then he said “well my wife Isn’t here..”
I SWEAR I DIED-
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! I love animatronics like these but haven't seen any in decades. I can't travel due to illness and disabilities but this was just like visiting the place myself. Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for sharing ☺
Thank you for watching
I'm sure Robert wadlow would've never thought he would still be talked about and displayed in 2021
WOW, what a neat place. I think its time to plan a road trip. Be safe in your travels

Oh boy, now that would of completed those attractions! Top them all as that's the best machien ever!!
What a fantastic place. Would never leave with all the pinball machines there. Loved this. Looks like you had a great time. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Of all the places I've seen on Carpet-Bagger, this is the one I most want to make a pilgrimage to go see. I could spend weeks here and be happy!
Says the anticipation makes it worse... **AD POPS UP**
Me: Were in the mini mall working the carnival we like to play it all. Welcome to Tally Hall.
Loved it! Jacob, I live vicariously through you each time you visit a fun attraction! Thanks again! 😄
Excellent commentary! Loved this one. Glad this is far from where I live or I’d be spending a lot of time/quarters there!!!
I LOVE your channel!!!!
Same here :)

these should be way less than 50 cents. I have to say I love the marriage machine, "press 1 for straight, 2 for gay, 3 for lesbian, 4 for best friends." Hilarious!
Such a cool place, good to know that these old relics are being saved and most still work. Thanks Jacob! Nice video!

I just started binge watching some of your videos, and this so my favorite so far. I'd love to visit one day. My wife gets mad at me but I love tourist trap-y places like this.
When I went there when I was 7 I started crying cuz I was so scared
Louie the Cupid sounds like chucky
David Meza
Ummm, no. They sound like a typical New Yorker mob guy. Chucky doesn't sound like a 'fa get about it' wise guy.
Yeah Chucky mixed with Garfield
What an awesome collection! This is definitely my favorite Carpetbagger vid.
You find so many quirky places-fun times! Keep giving us the unusual places!
ok wait a minute is that Barry.B.Benson in the laughing sailor thing.
Hi!!! You should come to Bentonville, Arkansas! Tons of museums and attractions!
Wish I could... sounds like fun! I need more places to film. :)
This was very interesting & fun; thank you for showing this!!!! I’ve never seen any of your videos but I’m subscribing!!!! Let the fun begin!!!!
