thanks for watching! if you enjoyed it, please consider subscribing! also check out this one i did on Ronald McDonald: ruclips.net/video/iDNILNNVzy8/видео.html
I agree I don't like what I mean so you design one with the cap and we had before this new one I like that one better I wish they didn't have to change it
Imagine being 5 and dancing with the rat. Life is good, homework isn't a thing yet and your rubbish artwork is on the fridge. Then Chuck slips, time slows and you look over. The Rat's head is rolling on the floor. Chuck is dead and your dancing killed him.
To add onto your “it must suck to lose your job to a musical number” it’s even worse when you remember they didn’t even finish it, he lost his job because he didn’t sing well enough in a failed animation, that’s a feels bad man
I'm a 2004 baby and I grew up with Chuck E Cheese up until I was around 12 or 13 years old. Chuck E Cheese made many fun childhood memories I hold dearly today since it would usually be my grandma I wouldn't see too often take me there either with my little brother and occasionally my best friend would tag along. Even though the most I ever got was 1000 tickets I still remember wishing for those big prizes yet only afford an unhealthy amount of candy and a plastic slinky. Great video Doplex! Watching your videos are always a treat & inspire me to try being a youtuber. Keep it up dude, you're doing great things :)
ah that’s sweet haha, that just goes to show that chuck e. cheese transcends the 90s and memories were made well after that. thanks bud, i believe in ya!
we never had them here in Sweden.... ffs we hardly even have Starbucks... we make food at home. Food at home: yes they do. edit: we do have heroin behind the Circle K tho
I absolutely loved this, great job! I appreciate the shoutout to the tiny Chuck E. fandom because I’ve been one of those weirdos for the past decade lmao. Definitely going to subscribe.
thank you so much! haha hey to each their own, i can see the appeal but i myself have a deathly fear of animatronics but the nostalgia is definitely there. appreciate you giving it a watch and deciding to stick around, it means a lot!
Actually, the chuck e cheese characters werent more marketable. showbiz didnt actually own the copyright to the rockafire explosion, and when they went to creative engineering the actual copyright holders, they wanted to take the characters and give them basically nothing in return, which of course creative engineering disagreed to. so they were basically forced to use the chuck e cheese characters for the rest of eternity
Man I love your aesthetic. If google glass comes back and becomes a thing I’d want an extension that lets me see the world the way your videos are produced.
man I havent had cable TV since 2011, So I had absolutely no idea that there was a redesign in 2012 to make him all sleek and pixar looking. you just blew my mind.
Always have been a huge fan of CEC for a long time, history, characters, everything about it, nowadays it's just not what it used to be, sure, but it's always been one of my biggest interest and it's nice seeing bigger channels like this show people a little bit of the history, too bad fnaf has soiled it's reputation with most people, but there is a fanbase out there that truly loves this stuff, myself included, nice vid!
that’s awesome! it’s so cool to get the perspective from someone who is a big fan of the characters! yeah it’s pretty interesting how it has such a diehard fan base, and a deep history. so glad you enjoyed the vid!
@@electricfishfan nice, I actually do love a few of the fnaf games for what they are, its just the bad rep it gave cec although im glad that many fnaf fans take the time to look back at stuff like this lol
Oh my GOD, how am I just seeing this now? I was watching your old videos and when I discovered this one, I freaked out lol. I don't know how to put this into words, but I'm going to try. When I found your channel (thanks to Bowblax for tweeting out your Ronald McDonald video), it felt like I'd finally found the type of content I've always needed. Ever since I was a kid, this is my shit. This, all of it, the subject matter, the aesthetic, the humor, the entire existence of this internal universe. I know I probably sound like a crazy person lol, but that's alright. Hopefully someone understands at least some of what I'm trying to say. Thank you, doplex, for everything. Please keep making videos. If I'm ever in the position to be able to be a patron, I will do so with happiness. The world needs more people like you. 🖤💜❤
this is easily one the nicest comments i’ve ever gotten, truly. i can’t even begin to thank you for watching my stuff, sticking around and supporting what i do. your kind words mean the world, so THANK YOU. 👑
@@doplextv, awww man! That's so sweet. I'm glad that you appreciated what I had to say. I almost back-spaced the whole comment out and was just going to forget about it, but I'm glad that I didn't. I'll definitely be watching your videos as long as you keep making them, and rewatching the old ones. Thank you again. 🖤❤💜
11:41 the curtains..... one time i was watching the animatronics and they shut down mid act.... i saw them each do their “death pose” I knew what i had saw, and the dark reality of what the curtain actually was.... these images bring back my thoughts in that moment
*Squeek squeek* Seriously tho, this video was amazing and was really the first time I knew Chuck on a personal level, as if I shared a home with him. Sad to know Chuck E Cheese probably won't come to the UK, even though he has the same amount of teeth as the average Bri'ish person.
I went there a couple times. The pizza’s pretty good, but I could never shake off the feeling that I was about to be murdered on the spot. It’s not even because I’m an avid fnaf fan, the place was just that dodgy.
thanks so much! that means a lot, i will continue to do whatever it is i’m doing here until my body eventually gives out under the pressure of youtube’s algorithm lol
dude thank you so much, that means a lot. eh YT is a slow game, but one i'm playing and i gotta play by it's rules haha. really though, i appreciate it!
Around here in NW Indiana, we had Celebration Station, but pretty much the same thing. I remember the ball pit aka the birthplace of super AIDS, Mega-Rona, and just general nastiness. They also had MK 1 and 2, and that weird Sega Hologram Time Traveler game. Now Ive made myself sad with how old I am. We also had a place called Wrights Barnyard (One in Lansing IL, and I know there was one in Hobart/Merrillville, IN, and I found one years later by the Crestwood Ice Arena, I believe it was technically Alsip, IL - all the places I mention are just Chicago area)which was somewhat similar but no animatronics, but had batting cages, go-karts, a pretty good mini-golf, and a good arcade. Later, it was renamed DZ Junctions (DZ = Discovery Zone, another kids place we had that was pretty cool). Doplex and ManyKudos, the ultimate crossover! Alright, one more thing then my old ass will shut up - Best place of all these types of places was Photon (Doplex, Im telling you theres a gold mine here, place was way cool.). It was Lazer Tag but waaaay better stuff, and it actually worked. It was such a cool place. The one I went to was in Harvey I think, its right on the border of a few places but it was next to the Harvey Expo Center, which later in life (early/mid 00's) we would go to "Cold Chillin"- a rave with Vanilla Ice playing live - yes! That same Photon would later become a strip club called Club O, and they even had some of the main playing field still up (the was a "base" of sorts for each team, and you wanted to get over there and shoot it for like 300 points, it was a half plastic dome with LED lights - either green or red depending on what team's base). When we were waiting to get into the rave/concert the strippers going in and out of Club O would raise there tiny skirts and flash their ass for the crowd, which was appreciated as it wasnt too bad of a club...Now Cowboys down the street is another story.
haha man thank you for educating me on east coast amusement! here on the west coast we have the most basic shit for easy entertainment but all that stuff you listed sounds cool as hell. i’m gonna have to do some research lol
@@doplextv Photon was really cool. You signed in with a nickname or handle (mine was OverKill cuz I liked the GI Joe of the same name, and I thought it was a cool name).Then you wait with your team in a small area and they would be playing the Terminator theme. There was a catwalk you could watch the match from. The one I went to had a pretty solid little arcade - Double Dragon/MK1-2/ A 4 game Neo Geo / Pit Fighter. I looked up a few things and saw that Celebration Station was a nationwide company, or at least more than the Midwest. Toward the end of Wrights Barnyards (It was DZ's Country Junction by then)they would have a special where all the arcade games were 1 token, which was great. It was either the Summer or Winter, cant remember which one. we would play the hell out of the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade by Sega, House Of The Dead 2, Tekken Tag (the model with the bigger screen) and - now this is something else you could look up - this Uncle Fester/Adams Family "Game" where you grab there 2 metal rods standing vertically up and you had to hold on to them while it "electrocuted" you, which was just the rod shaking very very quickly so it felt that way. We would always make the new person that came with us for the 1st time do it. Ive looked it up here on YT before, it was a unique arcade machine.
I am Gen Z and I went to my local Chuck e cheese until it closed. I was given wall art of Chuck E Cheese as Spider-Man and the shirt from the mascot costume. I was also one of those die-hard fans too. Seeing this video gave me nostalgia of those days. Also you missed the perfect chance to talk about Dolli Dimples, a character with a chest movement and got "hot and bothered" by her audience. I feel like you could have done something with that, but I understand the need to keep the video focused. As a former Chuck E Cheese die-hard, I know the rabbit hole goes DEEP
12:30 You re sleepin on the SFA 3 MAX for PSP. Love that game, it has a huge roster, and its SFA 3! And that MK:A for Wii has the unique Khameleon, a female Ninja changey thing. I like MK:A just the dial a fatality sucks
dude when i was in HS, that was my go to PSP game lol. and i LOVE MK: A on the wii, even though people say it was the worst one. i think i just liked the novelty of it.
When I was growing up, my parents told me you could only go to Chuck E Cheese if it was your birthday. Nah, turns out you can just show up whenever and play ski-ball or whatever. I’ve felt lied to ever since I learned that.
I remember having my 8th Birthday at a Charles Entertainment Cheese location. The robots were really interesting to me, and I like them. It's sad to see them go away. Hell, even after playing the FNAF games, they make me wanna visit a location even more honestly, I miss the vibe that these cheap-ass pizza chains had.
i was just wondering the other day if you had given up on making videos, i hadnt seen one in a while. I thought, man if Doplex cant make youtube work then what am i doing?haha... I love learning how to edit (i just started doing my twitch streams) so i would prob keep at it anway, but its good to know your still on the grind baby!!! love your content. your one of my favorites on here, cant wait for your channel to blow up!
Every time I see an animal animatronic, I have this deep instinctual desire to take any object around me and just beat the everliving shit out of it. Something about them is just utterly unholy.
What kind of animal does this much research on Chuck E. Cheese.... Only to reveal the existence of animals that don't need to research Chuck E. Cheese because apparently they're passionate about the lore or something. Anyway, Dop(e) video Lex
One thing that has happened recently Chuck E. Cheese wise, is the company has apparently released a few flavor frozen pizza products in your local freezer aisle at any known grocery store. I’m actually surprised, the pizza isn’t half bad. My brother can vouch for me on this, as he’s a frozen pizza aficionado.
They got rid of all the games that had ANY violence(tame stuff like the simpsons arcade game) in the early 2000s and focused on only shitty ticket games. That's what killed them
@@crowMilatonin prolly something the franchise owner brought in. I've got 7 bros and sisters so tons of nephews and nieces and haven't seen anything but DDR or that sega firefighting game since like 03, and that's chuck e cheeses in 3 different states
i do remember that yeah. however, my local chuck e cheese swapped them out with fairly decent stuff. i remember playing hydro thunder which was loads of fun
9:23, not entirely true. They rebranded all restaurants to Chuck E. Cheese because they didn’t own the rights to the showbiz characters, and would have been an extra expense. With the merger, the company acquired the names to the Chuck E Cheese characters. The new merged business also wanted to pump out shows in volume rather than take time perfecting it, creative engineering (Rock Afire creator) had the complete opposing view wanting quality over quantity, the relationship soured and Creative Engineering was essentially axed from the company
9:32 although that is probably true the main reason was actually because they didn't own the rights to The Rockafire explosion but did own the rights to the chuck e cheese. In actuality corporate preferred the rockafire characters due to them being more complex and would have likely kept them if they didn't want to save on liscencing costs or they were able to buy them from there creator.
Man, I always thought it would be gnarly to have a cocaine fueled, neon laced psilocybin psychedelic adventure through a 90's era Chuck E. Cheese. I was born in 1992, so my childhood Chuck E. Cheese runs unfortunately did not include this.
"Visit his disgusting rat family" Oh yeah..about that... here's the thing everyone forgets about Chuck-E-Cheese. An official comic by Chuck-E-Cheese during the early 80s showed a cannon origin for Chuck and revealed that he was actually an orphan who was depending on the comic given a home by the Italian dude to help out in his Pizzeria or made enough money to open a pizzeria in order to celebrate other kids birthdays because he never experienced a birthday. It's pretty sad for a backstory and this is coming a guy in Texas whose only experience of Chuck-E-Cheese was the short lived Pizza Buffet before it got a reboot.
the modern redesign being in 2012 is crazy to me, because i dont think a single establishment i went to after that time EVER had the new chuck e. cheese design. last time i went was a year ago, and the logo and the decor was still the design from the late 2000's, the animatronics looked to be of the old designs and there was even a statue of chuck e. cheese with his outfit from i think the 70's or 80's. its been 11 years and still nobody wants to use the tiny little rat XD
oh wow, that is sad. there is one across the street from my apartment and needless to say, the parking lot is always empty. i know there's a pandemic going on, but damn it makes me sad everytime i see it cuz there's a chance that's just how it is always lol

bro you’re missing out on the best sugary cardboard pizza money can buy!

I wouldn't hesitate to throw hands with Charles Entertainment Cheese, fnaf has made me not trust the rat
yeah same lol. although his speed and agility are unmatched!
@@doplextv after inevitably losing to Chuck he will banish you to the ticket muncher
Or he beats you at yugioh
Actually, the chuck e cheese characters werent more marketable. showbiz didnt actually own the copyright to the rockafire explosion, and when they went to creative engineering the actual copyright holders, they wanted to take the characters and give them basically nothing in return, which of course creative engineering disagreed to. so they were basically forced to use the chuck e cheese characters for the rest of eternity
9:04 it's more scary than fnaf, and those characters are BASED off these family friendly pizza parlors.
right?? i think it’s the necks

I feel like you could have done something with that, but I understand the need to keep the video focused. As a former Chuck E Cheese die-hard, I know the rabbit hole goes DEEP
Can we get a let's play from you of five nights please? thanks
coming right up! lol
12:30 You re sleepin on the SFA 3 MAX for PSP. Love that game, it has a huge roster, and its SFA 3! And that MK:A for Wii has the unique Khameleon, a female Ninja changey thing. I like MK:A just the dial a fatality sucks
dude when i was in HS, that was my go to PSP game lol. and i LOVE MK: A on the wii, even though people say it was the worst one. i think i just liked the novelty of it.
@@doplextv The size of the MK:A roster was mind blowing at the time. I still appreciate it.
When I was growing up, my parents told me you could only go to Chuck E Cheese if it was your birthday. Nah, turns out you can just show up whenever and play ski-ball or whatever. I’ve felt lied to ever since I learned that.
Beautiful upload as always. Always feel right at home watching a Doplex video. Keep up the great work my guy
I remember having my 8th Birthday at a Charles Entertainment Cheese location. The robots were really interesting to me, and I like them. It's sad to see them go away. Hell, even after playing the FNAF games, they make me wanna visit a location even more honestly, I miss the vibe that these cheap-ass pizza chains had.
Grade A video thanks for the entertaining content .
thanks so much!!
i was just wondering the other day if you had given up on making videos, i hadnt seen one in a while. I thought, man if Doplex cant make youtube work then what am i doing?haha... I love learning how to edit (i just started doing my twitch streams) so i would prob keep at it anway, but its good to know your still on the grind baby!!! love your content. your one of my favorites on here, cant wait for your channel to blow up!
haha nah i haven’t given up (at least not yet) 😳
that’s awesome! keep at it and you’ll get there. i appreciate your kind words my friend 🙏🏼
Every time I see an animal animatronic, I have this deep instinctual desire to take any object around me and just beat the everliving shit out of it. Something about them is just utterly unholy.
oh same! you ever been to rainforest cafe? i get vietnam flashbacks while trying to enjoy my cold pasta
Great video man! This series is really good
thanks so much! i hope to do more of these haha
Bonus points for the boneworks OST, love this entire masterpiece!
What kind of animal does this much research on Chuck E. Cheese....
Only to reveal the existence of animals that don't need to research Chuck E. Cheese because apparently they're passionate about the lore or something.
Anyway, Dop(e) video Lex
haha an animal like me! yeah it’s pretty wild but that’s what they call a *twist* in show biz..pizza.
thank you king daniel 🙏🏼
Ahhhhhhhh, I see you with that Sonic mania soundtrack at the beginning! Great song.
ayyy it’s the perfect opening! i swear i unironically listen to sonic OSTs because they’re so good lol
@@doplextv Especially Lights Camera Action, hands down the best song in that OST.
@@doplextv you should see the MJ remixes, those are great!
Oh god...the memories of my father in that demonic rat suit just came flooding back. Kill me 🤣
One thing that has happened recently Chuck E. Cheese wise, is the company has apparently released a few flavor frozen pizza products in your local freezer aisle at any known grocery store. I’m actually surprised, the pizza isn’t half bad. My brother can vouch for me on this, as he’s a frozen pizza aficionado.
I love this. Thanks for posting another piece of actual art.
wow thank you for the kind comment! idk if i’d call this art, but as they say art is subjective lol
Yo...that Jurassic Park arcade they got is BANGER!!! Fuck winning prizes. I wasted ALL my tokens on that shit.
hahah bro totally! as i got older i stopped worrying about prizes and more about the solid choices they had
Hey man, cool video!
ayyeee thank ya
They got rid of all the games that had ANY violence(tame stuff like the simpsons arcade game) in the early 2000s and focused on only shitty ticket games. That's what killed them
Welll, I played a game in there once where you shoot dinosaurs, and the main character swore, so I wouldn’t say they got rid of it completely.
@@crowMilatonin prolly something the franchise owner brought in. I've got 7 bros and sisters so tons of nephews and nieces and haven't seen anything but DDR or that sega firefighting game since like 03, and that's chuck e cheeses in 3 different states
i do remember that yeah. however, my local chuck e cheese swapped them out with fairly decent stuff. i remember playing hydro thunder which was loads of fun
The RUclips videos of kids who were (in theory) dancing alone but wearing Christmas themed masks is killing me lmao
9:23, not entirely true. They rebranded all restaurants to Chuck E. Cheese because they didn’t own the rights to the showbiz characters, and would have been an extra expense. With the merger, the company acquired the names to the Chuck E Cheese characters. The new merged business also wanted to pump out shows in volume rather than take time perfecting it, creative engineering (Rock Afire creator) had the complete opposing view wanting quality over quantity, the relationship soured and Creative Engineering was essentially axed from the company
Right now this is Dope(lex)
and right now this is Cord(wit)
that doesn’t work :( but thank you king!
9:32 although that is probably true the main reason was actually because they didn't own the rights to The Rockafire explosion but did own the rights to the chuck e cheese. In actuality corporate preferred the rockafire characters due to them being more complex and would have likely kept them if they didn't want to save on liscencing costs or they were able to buy them from there creator.
Black plague bandit sounds like a good username.
hahah or a good band name
Man, I always thought it would be gnarly to have a cocaine fueled, neon laced psilocybin psychedelic adventure through a 90's era Chuck E. Cheese. I was born in 1992, so my childhood Chuck E. Cheese runs unfortunately did not include this.
Amazing video! ☺
what's the outro music, I really want to know
it’s The Way U Move off of Killer Cuts (Killer Instinct OST) ! a banger for the ages
@@doplextv thanks man, and keep putting out great stuff!
Oh dang a Doplex video! In today's climate?? SICK!
despite the economy, i uploaded!! oh no i think i just caused a stock market crash
What did you use to make the intro it was good
glad you liked it! my girlfriend who is a 3D artist actually made it haha
He thought we wouldn’t notice he used the boneworks soundtrack in the intro, I’m onto you
"Visit his disgusting rat family" Oh yeah..about that... here's the thing everyone forgets about Chuck-E-Cheese. An official comic by Chuck-E-Cheese during the early 80s showed a cannon origin for Chuck and revealed that he was actually an orphan who was depending on the comic given a home by the Italian dude to help out in his Pizzeria or made enough money to open a pizzeria in order to celebrate other kids birthdays because he never experienced a birthday. It's pretty sad for a backstory and this is coming a guy in Texas whose only experience of Chuck-E-Cheese was the short lived Pizza Buffet before it got a reboot.
Fuck E. Feces, bruh I’m dead. Again, this series is amazing
hahah glad you liked that. thank you queen doe!
Can you make a video on the history of Showbiz Pizza and Creative Engineering Inc. ? There is a lot of info on RUclips, Wikipedia and Showbizpizza.com
The Sonic music really fits
...and they say fnaf isn't real.
they made fnaf into a real thing!!
I hated watching American TV from my small town and seeing chuck e cheese commercials. How can y'all have that down there and be as angry as you are.
hahah that’s what i’m saying! although chuck e. cheese is generally an angry place these days for god knows why
I never been at a Chuck E. Cheese before because I don't live in America.
Man, all the things that I missed out on.
haha could always try the VR experience! even though it won’t be the same
the modern redesign being in 2012 is crazy to me, because i dont think a single establishment i went to after that time EVER had the new chuck e. cheese design. last time i went was a year ago, and the logo and the decor was still the design from the late 2000's, the animatronics looked to be of the old designs and there was even a statue of chuck e. cheese with his outfit from i think the 70's or 80's. its been 11 years and still nobody wants to use the tiny little rat XD
holy sh*t that 3d animation was dope
thanks! the girlfriend whipped that up and did a stellar job!
Chuck e cheese's fourth recognizable rodent of human fiction culture
The rise and fall of a powerful rat
some say he was even.. a god 😳
The Chuck E. Cheese I went to had the old Chuck costume until just a few years ago.
that's so awesome. i wonder if they're one of the locations that refused to make the switch haha
@@doplextv they must've been. I remember the old animatronic band onstage as well
Tiny Chuck is the least horrible design, change my mind
he is the size of a RAT. not a big cute oaf like before. A RAT
@@doplextv he had never been "cute" previous to that design😂
We still go once a year for my younger siblings and it really is a shell of its former self, its kinda sad
oh wow, that is sad. there is one across the street from my apartment and needless to say, the parking lot is always empty. i know there's a pandemic going on, but damn it makes me sad everytime i see it cuz there's a chance that's just how it is always lol
We need more from this series! See if there’s anything on Taco Bell, KFC, Jollibee
got two new ones in the works as we speak!
Ooooooo :)))))))
AY! It's Doplex Time!
ayyy unfortunately!
The big C? Yeah not touching that
they knew what they were doing
Watching the Doplex episode a week later, i must be early
