As a kid, I never thought those Chuck E. Cheese robots were that scary.  Although MANY years later when one of my little brothers had his birthday there, the back of one of the robot's heads fell off!  We all laughed, but it did freak out some kids.  Five Nights at Freddy's really ruined the Chuck E. Cheese robots, now they don't even have them anymore.  A co-worker told me that now they just have a big screen TV instead of the robot stage.  You know that Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, also started Chuck E. Cheese.

I think I actually saw a YouTube video from Company Man about both Nolan Bushnell's involvement with Chuck E. Cheese and something about their rival. 

I never found Chuck E. Cheese robots scary either; I just always felt bad for whoever was in that costume cause I suspected a lot of kids would be mean to a silly mascot. Luckily, I don't think I ever witnessed that happen, so I don't know why I thought that.

When I was a little kid and went to Chuck E. Cheese one time, I was playing the Mario Bros. arcade game and I felt another player trying to put a quarter in to play with me.  They were having some trouble and bumped into me and so I was like, "what the heck" and looked over and it was the Chuck E. Cheese costume mascot trying to play the game with me!

Many years later when I was a lot older, we had relatives visit and we took my much younger cousin to Chuck E. Cheese.  This time the costumed mascot tried to sit on me while we were eating.  It was all in fun, though, and we all laughed at it.

Once my brothers were old enough to enjoy Chuck E. Cheese for their birthdays, the costumed mascot was looking pretty ragged by then.  One of the eyebrows on it was even torn off, and he had no tail!

As a kid, I always thought the Chuck E. Cheese pizza was nasty.  I would only eat one slice and then go run off to play arcade games.  So years later when my brothers would go there for their birthdays, they had a italian sub sandwich you could order and I would always get that.  And I'm not picky about pizza either, so you know it must've been bad!  I hear the pizza's better now, but I don't have anyone in my life with young kids right now, so I won't be going there anytime soon to find out!

I have definitely taken LSD and then gone to Chuck E. Cheese. 

I'm sure you're in good company there. That's probably how RHCP wrote Blood Sugar Sex Magic, really. 

I think I went in a Chuck E Cheese once to see what their video games were. All kids games. I wasn't about to eat their pizza and I didn't even see the animatronic show, I don't think. Kids like puppet shows, so I guess Bucknell thought, instead of hiring puppeteers, he'd just have robots. Not a bad idea, until they became the subject of horror in Five Nights At Freddy's. 

I actually remember liking their pizza, but I'm sure that's nostalgia. 

Maybe it was good. I only went in there once.
