    Hello, just going to correct information here as someone who is in this community and has done and spoken to a lot of people who have found and researched this stuff. The duck animatronic’s name is not Dr Dux it is officially called DrQuack and is only known to have been installed at the Simi Valley Pizza Time Theatre in 1980 according to local newspapers. He was an early cabaret act that was targeted towards kids, unlike how Dollie Dimples and Artie Antlers were targeted towards adults, Dr Quack played nursery rhymes. Another fact is according to someone who worked at PTT Corp, Dr Quack was based off Mike Hatcher the original programmer and entertainment director for the early days of PTT. According to coworkers, Mike Hatchers nickname was “DrDux” and there’s a diagnostics tape labeled DrDux Diagnostics which is a reference to Mike not Dr Quack since the diagnostics is for The King animatronic.

      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    So glad to see someone talk about CEC. I’m a super fan, so I would like to clarify some things
    1. Zapp is 100 percent a retrofit. Even the photos you showed show that he is a retrofit of the standard cyberamic bot
    2 The person I’ve talking about may be lying, so take this with a grain of salt. I’ve spoken with someone who (supposedly) knows the guy who owns Zapp. It’s said he got it from a going out of business auction. This is a common thing for CeC animatronics to do
    3. The awesome adventure machine was from my local CeC. Unfortunately it’s been confirmed that the bot was destroyed
    4. This is also unconfirmed, but apparently the community were the ones to name the animatronics in the Hot Fudge Show
    5. CEC has a history of destroying old stuff, so it’s most likely a lot of these animatronics were destroyed
    I’ve been in the CEC fandom for years at this point, so if anyone’s got any questions, I’d love to answer. Animatronics are my passion. I would also love to share more info about some other lost Showbiz and CEC media. I know of some more media you missed out on

      I wouldn't consider Zapp a "retrofit". He was simply created for a different purpose. CEC had a lot of rotating characters that used the same mech, but we don't call them retrofits since they were still from CEC, so I feel like the same applies to Zapp.

    Hi LSSQ, I just wanted to say that the lost sailor mouth uncensored audio used to be up on RUclips.
    I think around 2 years back, someone said he would post the audio on his channel which he did. This was before I was interested in lost media so I didn’t think much of it.
    I’m pretty sure it got taken down because I can’t find it anymore, but since it was up it must mean someone has it.
    So yeah, it’s out there somewhere, we just need to find the right people.

    Hi LSuperSonicQ, this was an amazing video! As someone who grew up with Chuck E Cheese in the early 2000s, I love learning about the lost media. Honestly, I prefer the PTT era snarky Jersey accent Chuck over the other incarnations, even the one I grew up with [Avenger], as he reminds me of Oscar The Grouch. I adore advertising lost media, but there's a few certain kinds of lost commercials that I'm interested in. First is the 1970s Jack In The Box animated commercials, with the 70s incarnation of Jack Box as well as the other JITB characters being voiced by Paul Winchell, voice of Tigger. There's only three on RUclips, which I'm glad we at least have those, but I hope more will show up one day. Second is the Domino's Pizza Donny Domino ads, while we have a few in a compilation [Donny The Domino Commercial Compilation], we don't have all of them, as there's a poster with a giant Donny about to crush a Pizza Hut van. I'm 99.9% sure Will Vinton worked on the Donny Domino ads, as Donny shares design traits with his other characters, especially the California Raisins and the M&Ms. Vinton also did The Noid ads, so I'm very sure he was behind the Donny ads. I hope more Donny Domino and 70s Jack In The Box ads will resurface someday.

      CEC's trash all Animatronics policy didn't become a thing until around 2004-the mid 2000's. So there are a lot of CECPTT animatronics and RAE/CU 3 stage animatronics that might still exist and are unaccounted for.

      Destroying animatronics has always been a hit or miss policy up until only the most recent years. Most animatronics from the Pizza Time Theatre era were instead auctioned off with the rest of the arcade machines and kitchen equipment, which is why so many are still in circulation.

    One of my favorites videos from you! As a kid, I was really into Chuck E. Cheese and the lost media behind it. I was really into this forum called the Retro Pizza Zone that had a lot of interesting information on not only Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza, but other family entertainment centers. I stopped getting into the fandom when I got older, but also FNAF was really big and you had a lot of their fans leak into the community in a not so positive way. I think it’s because a lot of them were way younger, but it also heavily played into the narrative the animatronics were scary. On top off all that, Chuck E. Cheese restaurants were going hard on phasing out their animatronics around the same time, so I think it was a low in the fandom personally.
    But if I have to give FNAF some credit, it did bring in some new fans into the world of animatronics which allowed those few to have an appreciation for them :)

    Hearing about "lost restaurants" makes me wonder if there are many instances of that, particularly regarding CEC or related places. I know of a place I went to as a kid that is essentially one of them, as the only related images I can find of it, is a a far away top down outside view photo from an old newspaper. It was actually a former Chuck E Cheese location that was turned into a different restaurant. I remember it had animatronics, which I believe were reskinned into different characters. Unfortunately I cannot remember what they actually looked like. It might have had custom showtapes, but were likely destroyed when the place closed. There aren't any photos or videos of the interior online that I can find, which is odd because I remember the place was really popular, I even went there as part of an honors field trip (but stayed away from the showroom, as it was late elementary/early middle school and I was terrified that if I went near it, people would think I was childish, a decision that I honestly deeply regret as it was the last time I ever went there. If I went in, and the animatronics were still there, I would have at least be able to say now what they looked like, which is a mystery that bothers me due to my memories being fairly clear *except* for that.) I still remember the general layout of the place. I remember there was an absolutely massive skytube that spanned across the entire show room that went above the entrance. There was a restaurant area and an arcade area, both were separate from the show room. I remember what side of the room the entrance of the arcade was on, I remember spending a lot of time playing ms pac-man in the arcade, I remember how the arcade machines were generally set up. It might have also been the first time I ever saw DDR.
    The only video I've seen was filmed way later after it had long been shut down and only shows the exterior. I've seen posts of people talking about the place in a nostalgic way, but I still haven't found anyone talking about the animatronics aside from the fact that they were there. Which at least is better than many years ago, where I was worried that my memories of the place were just made up of different things, but it was nice to at least have confirmation that it was infact very real.

I rifled through the back rooms and desperately tried to save whatever I could without getting fired. I was hoping I'd find the show tapes but I never did. It made me so sad to sit back and watch the history of our location get thrown out into the dumpster!!

      You could have saved an animatronic and told your boss, "I'm taking this animatronic, and you can't stop me!!!"

    Fantastic to see, all throughput the fnaf height I was confused why nobody why also adopting real old animatronics as a special interest for the most part.
    One small note, when you talked about the late Uncle from showbiz, you showed a picture of Duke, a dog who really played drums instead of Rolfe who was a wolf with a hand puppet named Earl who had his own side stage. I was too young to ever see Earl locally, but our mid 90s Chuck E Cheese still had the three stage set up with all the streamers and I could never figure out what all the extra space was for lol

    18:58 Anyone else enjoy the implication that the right stage's only entertainment value comes from Earl, disregarding Rolfe entirely.

    During the Awesome Adventure Machine segment: Why does this sound so familiar? I don't live anywhere near Texas.
    "Studio C contained many concepts from Awesome Adventure Machine" THAT EXPLAINS IT! Studio C was definitely the show that played at the Chuck-E-Cheese I was constantly going to as a kid.
    Also, I swear I remember seeing some sort of portrait animatronics at a Chuck-E-Cheese at some point, which would've had to have been in the late '90's to early 2000's.

    The owner of Smitty's Super Service Station was absolutely awful to me and my mother. It would have been such a great experience but he wouldn't even give us an estimated price because he relies on donations but anything I offered he said was too low and would talk to me like I was stupid. I specified that I was only a teenager and didn't know how these things worked or what I was in for, as they had no information on their website nor did they have a phone number, and he was so short with me. I still want to try and go, but my mom refuses to give them our business. He also refused me a tour and I was nothing but polite while he was rude and avoided my questions:(

    Wolfman Zapp is almost certainly a parody of American Radio DJ Wolfman Jack. It’s obviously not confirmed till we find a tape, but there’s no way that was a coincidence. My guess is he probably acted like Wolfman Jack too, DJing the parties at the bars he appeared in. Wolfman Jack was a very unhinged disc jockey and you can find plenty of clips online of him. To give an example of how he acted on his shows, I seem to recall him urging listeners to “get naked and grab onto my knobs” before going into a song.

      @dragtogo2735 Год назад

      TGIFridays (Thank Goodness it's Fridays) never had one when I was young in US. Unless did UK had animatronics there?
      I know Rainforest Cafe does in the US, best coconut shrimp ever.
      Though Costco?, that's a why question because it's a warehouse of stuff though having animatronics is like maybe hitting some sort of jackpot if their selling it there but never seen that happen before like at all besides cloths, food, snack bar, bed bath beyond stuff (not sponsoring the store just the stuff), and home supplies and stuff because there's a lot.
      I would be surprised if TGIFridays and Costco have animatronics though.🤔

    One party I went to at Chuck E Cheese as a kid they had "X minutes until we see Chuck E" for a count down to a live show. Meanwhile the animatronic was clearly visible on stage. I think they had the animatronics slide backwards and a curtain draw for the live show, but it certainly made no pretense about their only being one.

  • @godkeebler

    I know Strike It Up was one of the showtapes that timed out. In San Bruno, CA I can verify that a few weeks after expiration of the tape sometime in 96 I believe, it would error on the console, and on the deck. These tapes, like Shout and Strike It up would be removed for clutter. When you would put the ttape in it would either error right away or it would do the countdown to Chuck E Live then would through up error or expired and spit the tape out at you. Of course it was just a RTC saying tape too old... to most staff it was tape no more good!

    I got some ideas for your part two for the showbiz pizza / Chuck E. Cheese lost media. I have some info that might help.
    First of all, the moonrockers have lost footage that has not been seen by the public, plus extra beta footage of them performing I believe.
    In 1983, there was a brochure that had a prototype and along as an unused band. The cosmic combo and the jungle juke band.
    Plus, the moonrockers were taken to the IAAPA convention in Atlanta, and also had a live performer, known as shalisa (VA of Mitzi) and she wore a space outfit during the song and filled in the empty parts in the songs.
    The dragon AKA reginal j flootsnook, is very obscure and only has photos of him after the blast of 2013. And apparently, smoke would come out of his nose. The show apparently had more characters, such as shrek bear? But they were never made.
    The wizard of oz show was made in 1983 and were supposed to be used for a dark ride. They made animatronics for the bad tree, scarecrow, (which was really advanced for the time) and the tin man. Only small clips of their show is on the internet, but their show is entirely lost. Once in the 90s, they were taken to looney birds, (basically a showbiz pizza place but it was ran by Aaron) and after that, were never shown again to the public for another 10 years.
    The creepy clown is the most obscure with being in only cursed images and creepypastas. He does not have a name, but everyone just calls him the creepy clown. Apparently, his showtape (or tape) is said to be corrupted by Aaron, and has been shown once at the IAAPA in the early 80s.
    The bear country jubilee is one of the first ever shows CEI made, and only a few photos and no videos of them running has been seen. They were the predecessor to the hard luck bears, (totally not a ripoff of disneys country bear jamboree) and only partially of their showtape has been found.
    They also had a ripoff of the heads in the country bear jamboree, there was a moose and a buffalo. They’re audio is on RUclips, and a small clip of them is on RUclips in the 1992 demo of CEI animatronics as well as a high quality clip of them performing in the rock afire explosion documentary.
    There’s other shows out there, but I’d be here all day if I wrote those in, but these are the only notable ones I could find.

    I know it's not showbiz or Chuckies... but I miss a local one called Track stars. their animatronics road bikes ( on tracks on between the tables) and would deliver your pizza to the table.. and talk to you ( person in the back) apparently they had a sister store in a completely different state called Higglebees who has at least one beloved animatronic still floating around. I would tell you more but the story that contains most of my information is blocked behind a newspaper paywall ( it use to be free to read at one point, and the story itself hasn't been updated since 2017, the place itself closed up long before that though.)
