A few times I even found really old showbiz pizza tokens! I still have them in a jar at home. Great video! Thanks for the memories.

It absolutely wasn't ahead of its time. It was pretty *of its time*.

It's really surreal to look back upon the history of this franchise and how it rised, fell, and well, went in all kinds of directions, and eventually led up to what it created in modern times. It inspired a few creepy rumors here and there, and most impactfully, ended up causing inspiration for video game history's massive impact of a horror franchise, FNAF.

As a kid, walking into our local Showbiz Pizza and seeing Dragon's Lair for the first time... I still remember it clearly. Showbiz was such a vastly superior place over the trashy Chucky Cheese that has plagued America. Showbiz was a lot bigger, had a lot more stuff and newer games at the time, and was just a few levels up on the quality meter, and that covers everything from food to just being cleaner. I recall Showbiz being quite lit up and bright, but again in a clean way, where as Chucky Cheese just always felt like a mold infested dump.

I always found the animatronic characters at these restaurants somewhat unsettling. I remember as a kid peeking behind the curtain between shows, and seeing the lifeless character just standing there, unaware of my presence, was rather creepy, although I suppose it would have been even more creepy if it _was_ aware of my presence!

I remember crawling in the dark where the black lights and strobes didn't reach till I'd hit a dead end...or sometimes a terrified toddler. So yeah, to me it was a maze and it was designed for kids to get lost in, but I used it to escape and hide. Maybe your chuck e. cheese was less sinister.This waa around 1982 in San Diego. It was the era of the latch key kid and half assed parental supervision . It seemed like every kid at my school had to have their birthday party there, so i visited the restaurant frequently.. The reason I always hid in the maze was to escape the (I now presume) high school dude walking around in the chuck e. suit. He would start following and pestering the kids when they were playing away from their parents table. I would say he was supposed to be kinda babysitting while the parents chatted and smoked their cigarettes, but he was more like a bully who amused himself by picking on younger kids. Obviously, he never spoke , only gestured nonsense or copied our movements like a shadow. One time he tripped a kid, who fell and was crying. Instead of helping the poor kid back to his table, he did a mock crying tantrum by throwing himself to the ground, rubbing his eyes with his paws and kicking his legs wildly in the air. The parent table did witness what happened. They cheered and laughed their asses off.

I grew up with a showbiz pizza and had no idea Chuck E Cheese actually came first. When they rebranded when I was around ten years old, I thought he was a new character and someone’s really bad decision because I loved the showbiz characters and was upset they were gone. It is so nostalgic to see them again.

For anyone still freaked out by mazes: Most mazes can be solved by simply following the right hand facing wall. Wasn't a pizza place but I remember being stuck in a MIRROR MAZE when I was a littlun' and that sucked.

"The Cheese factory... ...inside was basically a funhouse. However, this was a bit of an unintentional nightmare for kids, as many wound up getting lost in the maze, which led to an urban legend of missing children." Wow, I seriously doubt MatPat hasn't seen this, but if he hasn't, someone please let him know... also the pictures of the exoskeletons are JUST as terrifying as I thought they would be in real life and FNAF is WAAAAAAAAY to accurate.

I was afraid of these animatronic nightmares when I was a kid. My nightmares after a visit to ShowBiz, were more horrifying than anything Scott Cawthon could have ever come up with!

I never thought I would actually be proud that Chuck E Cheese's was apart of my childhood I mean I grew up in the 2000's yes but hearing that they may go bankrupt soon im actually happy I got to experience the creepy animatronic's and getting stuck in the jungle gym and the fun arcade and the weirdly sliced pizza.

I worked at a Chuck E. Cheese’s in the late 2000s. By then, the animatronics had gotten so cheap, that one time our Chuck E. had a problem moving his head from side to side. The servo motor had become mis-aligned (iirc) and would move to the left, much easier than moving to the right. This meant that, eventually, his head would begin to face completely backwards. So, every so often, when no kids were looking, I had to give Chuck E. the Heimlich maneuver and twist his head back in place.

Im so happy you went over the history of these two restaurant chains!!!!! I learned about the history awhile ago but I'm still so happy to see people that like learning about this still.

We didn't have a Chuck E. Cheese in my small town in WV, but we did have a Show Biz Pizza. I barely remember it, but according to my mom, I was so scared of the animatronics, all animal costumes and puppets freaked me out afterwards, which does explain why I was terrified of movies like The Dark Crystal and anything from Sesame Street and Eureka's Castle up until my late teens.

I feel bad for the kids that will never get the chance to experience Showbiz Pizza. It was amazing!

Growing up we would spend the summer in the Midwest. I always looked forward to visiting Gigglebees to see Wilbur the Coyote in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Wilbur would ride around the restaurant on a tricycle which was on a track and deliver the pizza as well as some commentary. One summer while visiting there was tornado so we had to take shelter in the basement with the broken or not currently in use animatronics. Great memories.

I didn’t get to go to Chucky Cheese often but when I did, it was awesome. Interestingly, I never found the animatronics creepy and liked watching them perform. The last time I’ve been inside one was back in 2010, so I’m curious to see how it’s changed.

They didn't update him to be like some sort of mid-00's style DJ (which would have made sense), and it took them until a couple years after the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie to give them inspiration.

I certainly enjoyed going to Chuck E Cheese when I was younger. It’s fascinating to hear about the history of both restaurants. The amatronic characters certainly have an interesting backstory.

He never moved, the only thing that moved were his eyes. You would walk right past the area and if you happened to look up at Chuckie, you would see his eyes following you until you were out of sight. Just a mouse with glowing eyes in a pretty shadowed area with his classic smile always on his face just gave me an uneasy feeling. Although the last time we went there years back, Chuckie was gone.

I did, because while I live in Portland, Oregon, where we have Chuck E. Cheese's, I did have access to the WGN and TBS stations that represented Chicago and Atlanta, respectively, which is where I saw the ShowBiz Pizza ads (these two cities did have ShowBiz Pizza stores at the time).

Really sad to see chuck e cheese bite the dust, was so much fun as a kid

My dad actually worked at showbiz, He told me that he had to put on a Billy bob suit and had to walk around shaking kids hands and wishing them happy birthday. He told me that it was the worst job he ever had. What's crazy is that he met Aaron fetcher. He showed me a picture of him and Aaron fetcher I was amazed at what he showed me.

Remember moving to Oklahoma and they didn't have Chuckie E Cheese at the time but did have a Showbiz Pizza and we went there a few times when I was a kid.

Ive been saying that the only way Chuck E Cheese could recover from bankruptcy would be to purchase the rights to FNAF and transform the locations into the ones from the franchise

Or they just take chuck e cheese itself and turn it into its own horror attraction. If there's still warehouses full of these unused animatronics it could be done

Yeah, and age them up as well. Like a hybrid of Chuck E Cheese and Dave and Busters.

At one time Disney was either close to buying Chuck E Cheese or trying to match Chuck E Cheese. I used to repair games for Chuck E Cheese in the late 90's and one day they came to my restaurant and started asking questions, they weren't even secret about who they were. Disney did open a few restaurants that mirrored Chuck E Cheese, it wasn't very successful and they shut it down after a few years, it was called Club Disney. I guess they figured there was no money in it.

For an european who's never been to the States, this is such a strangely foreign vid / theme. Not only in the most basic sense of the word, but like, you're talking about a whole different world. The very concept of diners/restaurants with animatronic shows is such a strange thing to me - like something that only exists in games and television. And then you make analogies to Reese's - another thing that I always hear about on youtube, but that I've never seen in my life.

I think there were a few in the Netherlands during the 80's and 90's though not these things. I have never been to one before but I think there were restaurants with animatronic shows but usually of theme parks I think. Although I swear that Hennie van der Most( famous Dutch business man) also had a chain of animatronic show restaurants.

omg. I honestly thought I had dreamed up most of what I remembered from my 2nd birthday at Chuck E. Cheese, including the Elvis lion and the maze under the stage. I cannot believe these memories are actually real!

Very in depth and informative video. Thanks!

There's something deeply troubling about 70s and 80s commercials.

I have many memories from the mid-late 80s at the Show Biz location in Greensboro, NC. For me, the best parts were playing in the ball pits and the TMNT arcade game. I never really cared much for the animatronics. Does anyone else recall redone movie posters with Show Biz characters? I specifically remember one for “Crocodile Dundee” and “Gone With the Wind.”
