🐱 Chuck E. Cheese’s getting rid of iconic animatronic band

Chuck E. Cheese's is reportedly phasing out their singing animatronic band.

The restaurant chain has announced that they will be renovating all of their locations across the country. As part of the sleek new design, they will be removing the beloved, and somewhat "creepy," animatronics in attempt to modernize.

The robotic characters were once the center of many childhood birthday parties, but today are considered outdated, as many children are now growing up with more advanced media and entertainment.

According to a CBS News, CEC Chief Executive Tom Leverton said, "The kids stopped looking at the animatronics years and years ago, and they would wait for the live Chuck E. to come out."

While the animatronic fanbase said they will miss the iconic band of characters, many also admitted the animatronics were seriously scary.

Chuck E. Cheese's will start off by replacing the animatronics from a few locations with a dance floor where a costumed character will come out to dance with kids.

They should have done this a decade ago.

That way they wouldn't have made that disgusting Five Nights at Freddy's game.

Good.

Also, I guess we won't be seeing this anymore:

Spoiler: He's Chuck E.

Makes sense, I mean Chuck E. Cheese is a depressing shithole of autism-addled ADHD that smells like feet and is essentially a pedo trap.

TFW they decide to can your ass because you creep out the kiddies and parents

But for real though, those things were creepy and outdated AF.

They're reskinnds Rockafire Explosion animatronics from the 60s and 70s. After the acquisition, the stage was subject to Conceptual.....something. there's a video set of how they did it.

Anyway, because the tech is old, and because kids kept yanking on them, you were going to fucking have dislocated limbs that couldn't operate correctly. Not too mention last I went, the only one working was the bird, and a dumb kid put their hand in the mouth.

Without a barrier or higher platform, they just weren't safe for children.

I remember thinking they were creepy and outdated back in the late 80's/early 90's when I was the right age for Chuck E Cheese's.

Are they also removing the band because some fnaf tards won't stop humping it?

Nah they won't stop sticking their heads in their mouthes.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Are those animatronic Chucky's still wearing that "Not fooling anyone" Skater jargon?

Its like Abe Vigoda being a surfer...

 

[HY 140]

Nah they won't stop sticking their penises in their mouthes.

After they redesigned the radical kid-sized rat shredding on the half-pipe Chuck E. Cheese into some... weird actual-sized rat shredding guitar Chuck, I had a feeling the animatronics were going to leave at some point. Hell, who even remembers the other members of the band, anyway?

Like that's any better.

Great now the furries are going to take it over.

I find this creepy in another way. Wait until a costumed character is caught twerking with kids.

 

[Picklepower]

I wonder how many devoted Chuck E's on deviantart are protesting this change?

From one creepshow to another seems to be their plan.

If it isn't, then someone running the company really hates kids and their sanity.

Because of the fear of child abductions, the front entrance is now guarded by an employee next to a turnstyle. Your entire family gets stamped with a random number that you all share in invisible blacklight reflective ink. Nobody is allowed to leave with kids unless your numbers match when they light-wand your wrists. Or else they sound an alarm at the gate.

It's like we're going into the final 15 minute chunk on an hour-long VH1 special.... "The REAL story behind the Chuck E Cheese band, coming up, it all falls apart...."


Next week, Electric Mayhem.
