    Theorists, by now most of us have seen the videos by @EddyBurback and @TedNivison. They inspired me to take my own trip to a Rainforest Café, so while I was out of the country I went to the one in Paris! No, not for the food or the ambiance. For. The. LORE! That's right. I needed to find out if this theme restaurant had any hidden lore and, Theorist, I think it may just be the next FNAF. Yes, you read that right. Let's go!

    If you told me Rainforest Cafe is the result of someone experiencing some sort of insane acid trip, told their friends about it, and they told him "You should replicate that acid trip and make it an actual concept"....I'd believe you. We wish we had one of the international locations of the chain. It'd be a nice fit at my palace for Rodman and I.

    I lived near a mall with a Rainforest Cafe for a few years during college, and although I didn't really have much nostalgia for it (I think I only went once as a very young kid) I really appreciated the atmosphere even just outside of the restaurant. It was a bit more shaded, the walls were made of tropical wood (or plastic that looks like it more likely) and it actually had a much more relaxed vibe than the rest of the mall, so it was nice to pass by it as the last thing I see before I'm out the door.

    This past summer, I finally got to meet my online friends. We had known each other for years, and we had all saved enough to get a small Air BnB and have a week of fun in person. We picked Niagra Falls Canada, since about half of the group lived there. On the second day, we spent our time at Clifton Hill (basically Niagra Fall's tourist trap). I got to spend the day watching the falls and going on rides with my friends. Then we rounded out the night at the Rainforest Cafe. Ted and Eddie's video had recently came out, so we all NEEDED to go there for the joke. But, we ended up having such an amazing time. We all got to laugh and bond and be with each other for the first time in person, with the backdrop of the Rainforest Cafe. We laughed at the elephant screaming next to us, acted fake scared at the lightnight, and actually ate some half decent food (even though it cost most of the money I had set aside for food the entire trip). While many of peoples fond memories of this place was from childhood, I am still happy to say that I as an adult have made memories to last a lifetime at this chain.

    My heart is so full with this video! I grew up without a lot of money, but I always loved lizards and frogs. My mom found Cha Cha and Iggy at a goodwill once and gave them to me for Christmas. I loved those toys, but had no idea what they were. About 5 years later, we got to go on a trip to Michigan for my dad's job. At the mall they had a rainforest cafe. I was 10 years old and we were just walking by when I saw Iggy and Cha Cha inside. I practically screamed and went running inside. We couldn't afford to eat there, but just seeing that world come to life around me, seeing my little toys moving on a larger-than-life scale, it was the most magical moment. I got a stuffed snake from the gift shop that I still have to this day. Rainforest cafe will always hold a special place in my heart.

    When the video opened up and they were talking about lore, I was like “ah yes, who died this this time? What secrets does this family friendly restaurant hold? What have you uncovered MatPat?” And then I was hit with genuine feelings, memories of childhood, and history facts that I wasn’t prepared for. I don’t know wether to be upset that there are no skeletons in closets or sad that there isn’t one near me

    As a 90s child I loved visiting the Rainforest Cafe in Kansas City because I was fascinated with the animatronics. However, my parents could never afford eating there or buying anything from the store. So most of my childhood when we went to the mall was just getting to spend time standing and watching the animatronics in the store area, my favorite being the crocodile that would eat pennies at the front. Unfortunately my parents and I relocated to Arizona far away from any of the locations of this restaurant.
    On a lighter note my relatives took me to eat inside once I was a preteen for my birthday. They also bought me a shirt, a collectors plate, a tiny storage box, and a few lizard and frog toys. I still have the storage box today.

    The rainforest cafe is super cool I agree, but you cannot say that as children you weren’t terrified of eating there! To me as a child this was somehow more terrifying to me than Chuck-e-cheese. Like I’d cry genuine tears inside the rainforest cafe anytime we were sat anywhere remotely close to an animatronic, and the thunder storms were what freaked me out the most. It was constant noise occasionally interrupted by louder noise and yet now I’m able to appreciate it for the absolute jungle of an experience that it is. Thank you Rainforest Cafe for the comfort you bring others and for the night terrors you gave me.

      @@ireallylikenuggets9490 the first one was what they imagine the pitch for the video was. For the second, they probably accidentally pasted a comment about the Cleveland Balloon Incident but decided to keep it for the heck of it.
      Edit: No that's wrong! I just realized. The comment is about Cleveland setting *rivers on fire, something mentioned in the video.

    0:18 I'm so used to that image Matpat always uses to represent himself in videos that seeing him in person is slightly uncanny....

    5:53 I had one of those near where I live. It had a talking moose head that freaked me and my siblings out as kids. It shut down around 2012, but it was finally bought out a few years ago and was turned into a moose-themed casino, presumably so the owners didn’t have to redo the outside of the building

    MatPat is definely evolving into DadPat. The beard is forming. Soon the videos will be half puns..
