Chuck E. Cheese

[Reploid Productions]

Even when I was a kid, I didn't like CEC. The animatronics were creepy, shabby, and I honestly suspect that one CEC is where FNAF got its inspiration. The place always smelled vile, the... we'll be generous and call it "food" could be described as "rubber" on a good day and "abortion on cardboard" on a bad one. The air circulation was poor, so the place was warm and stuffy, which only made the stench worse. Add in shrieking unsupervised children, and my memories of CEC the few times I actually went as a kid could best be summarized as "headaches and nausea."

I literally have no reason nor desire to set foot in that demonic hellpit ever again. If I want pizza, there are plenty of options in my area that are vastly superior in both quality and service. If I want alcohol, there are plenty of options in my area that offer vastly superior selections and don't come with the negatives listed above.

I like it.

Its a very happy place.

[Esternial]

Seems kind of cheesy.

[The Holy Therns]

It sounds horrendously tacky. I probably wouldn't have liked it even as a kid.

That would be because it is horrendously tacky.

If by "encourage" you mean "mandate daily visits under strict penalty of deportation to Antarctica," then yes. On an unrelated note, does anybody want to buy some Chuck E. Cheese stock? I have a lot.

Can I buy them in Ouya consoles?

I love you.

I'm also trying to figure out why a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist that essentially deifies Stalin loves this terribly capitalist institution to such a degree.

Chuck E. Cheese is fun for young kids, but it was nothing spectacular.

You may have just had bad luck if your local CEC was mismanaged. The one I go to is very clean and nice with a well maintained Garner-Holt animatronic. I think the food is great. I would highly recommend you give CEC a second chance. Visit and give the food a try. You might like it.

Seems kind of cheesy.

I see what you did there.

[Reploid Productions]

Nope. I know I'd just come home with a splitting headache and nausea. I'll stick to spending my money on places I know and like and not greasy overpriced childcare centers, thankyouverymuch.

The secret is to go on off hours when it is not so busy. Go when most kids are in school or go closer to the closing time when it tends to be pretty empty.

I will say that a small number of CEC locations do not maintain their stores as well as they should, but the vast majority are very clean and nice places to visit. Go back to your local CEC. It may be a lot nicer than you remember it.

Been there, done that as a kid. It was still awful. I see no reason to risk inflicting that on myself again, not when I can go elsewhere and spend less money for better food and a better experience. The level of interest I have in animatronic shows like that is basically zero.

Goddess, dear, do they pay you for this?

Its the only rational explanation, unless we've got an underage poster on our hands (which I don't find to be out of the question, given the poster). CEC is probably that fucking desperate.

[Dakini]

I don't think fast food is unhealthy. I really like fast food places. I guess KFC and A&W are kinda expensive but CEC is still the most expensive place I like to eat.


I know guys and gals that are old enough to be my parents that go out to eat at CEC by themselves. They are just fans that are passionate about the restaurant and the animatronics especially. Don't be so closed minded.

I'm a damn sight more open-minded than you, thanks. I just don't believe you, and cannot believe that any adult who does not have kids would go to a restaurant SPECIFICALLY AIMED at children unless they have some sort of ulterior motive.

Maybe if they were really high...

If they were that high, they'd be making a lot more typos.

I'm not the only one that likes Chuck E. Cheese's. Check out all the fan videos on Youtube if you don't believe me.

Lots of people like arcade games, animatronic robots and pizza. I'm not being paid for any of this. I just really like CEC.

Nah, it's perfectly possible to type coherently while on all kinds of substances.

Also, I wasn't talking about people posting about Chuck E. Cheese while high (though that might explain a few things), but actually going there without some really questionable motives. I mean, doing childish things while high is generally really fun (e.g. swings become amazeballs, but I'll stop at one example before I start sounding like Jon Stewart's cameo in Half Baked).

You're probably the only person who loves CEC this passionately, so much so that the company itself can feel the extent of that love.

If someone wants to go to an arcade, there are much better places than CEC to go to for arcade games.

Animatronic robots are objectively creepy.

There are also much, much, much better places to get pizza, there's a place here in town I like to go to as often as I can afford it that would wipe CEC's pizza clear off the map and into the deep dark void of space.

[Hzeska]

I'm certain the Department of Sanitation shut down the Chuck E Cheese near my house. There was some sort of disease running rampant through the establishment because of "high concentrations of fecal matter" in the tunnels. Needless to say, I have no desire to step foot near one of those disgusting places.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Is there any particular... reason you have this, uh, infatuation, with Chuck E Cheese?

Some people like the taste of stale, cardboard pizza, and the sound of hyperactive youngsters fueled by curiosity and skittles.

My money is on him being 12.

I sort of hope so. If it's 18+ that is truly....odd.

As for me I always hated that disgusting, tacky place. Much preferred Swing Around Fun Town as a kid, much more fun, and without all the creepy animatronics and overly (pardon the word choice) cheesey kiddie stuff.
