Pizza Time Theater original Smile America :60 spot

[bunganut98]

wheres the bird

[xDaXAFImoshmonkey]

That's the Chuck E. I partied with as a kid :[

[Just2comment1165]

I nearly crapped my pants when he popped out of the balloons. And that pick nose wave is creepy.

[baycrum267]

Oh god, my childhood nightmares.

[MrLotso89]

chuck e looks scary

[nbanolfgekid]

When they started implementing video screens and pre-filmed segments, that's when it all started going downhill....

[KaijuEigaMan88]

Seeing this ad, as well as all the other vintage CECPTT commercials, makes me wish I had been born at least 10-20 years earlier so I could have experienced it. Between the arcade, the food, the animatronics, and everything else, I bet I would've had a fantastic time there. I also love the original Chuck E. Cheese with the derby, checkered vest, and bow tie. Kinda reminds me of an old 1930s-era movie comedian.

[handyhanks1]

the commercials today ar way better

[MrPurplemask]

looks like 3 people cant smile.

[akessie2012]

thats right kids smile America,but not with Chuck cause in hear he looks ugly!

[MrEliwhite2002]

im 8 years old. everything was not advanced in the 80s. i miss those years.whos

with me?

[Izzitreal1995]

Have you noticed that its just something about rodents that makes america smile!

[Hal20062b]

1981

[tejojo]

This ad is very creepy. Chucky Cheese also smoked a cigar back then. What a bad example for kids.

[DEMIfan1234567]

the chucky from the 80s freaks me out cuz of the way his eyes move

[WumWip]

0:50 - 0:53

That explains why I used to pick my nose and wink at people when I was a kid...

[TroyCutie679]

it's kinda cool seeing this commercial then looking at the differences between this place from then to now. anyone notice that chuck e. doesn't have a tail now?

[WumWip]

His tail is inside his pants... I think...

[cujo1990]

good times

[servantlol]

Didn't know that Chuck was that old. Of course, I am only 16. Still, I miss seeing Chuck when I was like 4. I was always freaked out by seeing him lol

[Disneydanny]

he'll be 33 on May 16th

[KittyKatz547]

he looks better than he does now! he looks like a girl now...i think he looked perfect then!

[gameshowluvr86]

I feel weird watching this... Like, it irks me to the point of cringing and laughing nervously... LOL! LOLOLOL!!! I... don't... feel... right!!

Ahhh... the '80s...

[KittyKatz547]

dude you never see him walking around that often anymore! the last time i saw him was during the free ticket promotion when he would come out in a super hero costume and give out free tickets

[lkjhb1]

why did they change chuckes costume

[mikamoo52]

honestly, who da fuck would go to the salad bar at Chuck E. Cheese?

[mfuji02]

@mikamoo52 mom's would! xD -_-

[BobandJaden]

No joke lol and the fat ass stuff they had then now that skinny crap they have

[turman109]

he loked kinda scary lolz

[rescuehero942]

cool as hell

[nintendofan4life]

Nothin like a little oldschool cec.

[OurStarChristineDaae]

I was crying, saw this video, and now I'm smiling.

[niquejoy]

at 0:28 it looked like they was about to kiss

[LeftSock06]

I didn't give a giant rat's ass what Chuckie looked like. I wanted to play games, eat pizza, put distance between me and the parents, and avoid the carnivorous rodent wearing bad clothes.

[jickajohnda]

Was chuck e. cheese really dark like this back then?? Creepy!

[LeftSock06]

I used the darkness to my advantage. Mom and dad had to work harder to keep track of me. Children embraced the darkness.

[jickajohnda]

Haha lol funny!! It's so weird to think that it was dark like that when it's just lit up now (I'm from the 90's of course)

[mfuji02]

@jickajohnda it was like a theater show all the lights would turn off & the show would go on in the dark strobes black lights & smoke crazy back then!

[roberts424]

Is this from 1982?

[Reed488]

I have seen a video from this campaign on another website. I think it is from 1981 or 1982.

[hersheyandshadow]

This is from 1982.

[Reed488]

Thank you for your insight.

[Daley795]

spiderman4112003 your right this commercial is fucking weird, i know right, who's mom would let her daughter run off with a complete stranger in a rat costume

[galexy14]

smile amerca in chuck e chesse!

[mikamoo52]

Yea this commerical is kinda scary... But those days seem some simple and innocent.

[OurStarChristineDaae]

It's my dream to go there when it was like this.

[Precipitation]

What is the deal with that bizarre nose gesture?

[spiderman4112003]

1. chuck e just comes out of the darkness and the mother just lets her daughter run off with him. WTF IS WITH THAT, if that happened to me I would run the other way.

2. he freaked me out when he burst through the bloons and just standing there waiting for the little children to crawl through the play area is disterbing. THIS WHOLE COMMERICIAL IS DISTERBING. REPLY IF YOU AGREE WITH ME.

[THEOFFICIALNCAA]

i know but if you pause at 5 seconds its real creepy i agree with you

[sedtr]

yep

[OurStarChristineDaae]

Whoever wrote this song... thank you so much. I think it fits CEC perfect. So much that 20 years later, me and my friend always perform this on the stage at Chuck E Cheese's whenever we go. Gotta keep the original PTT alive right? Thanks for posting this cec0011, we really love it.

Sincerely,

Scarlett and Liza

[911jesse]

food and games and all kinds of rapers thats wat it should say

[911jesse]

0:05 scary as hell!

[Dumplingshop]

chuck e is a great influence. teaching little kids to flick boogars at each other. 0:50 haha

[fromwkfsmouth]

@Dumplingshop Don't forget the Mr. Munch walkaround behind that girl too!

[OurStarChristineDaae]

The little girl is so cute

[ihatetaft]

Creepy!!!!

[cami725]

omg, why does he keep winking at that girl? like he sayin i got my eye on you.

[mikamoo52]

Why is it dark in the Chuck E. Cheese game room and stuff? Scary!

[garfieldsimpsonfan]

Chuck E used to be for the whole family, not just kids. The dark was better than the lit up CECs today. The show used to be the focus so all the lighting in the dark made the stage awesome looking.

[mfuji02]

@garfieldsimpsonfan agreed pizza time THEATER WAS THE BEST DARKEST GET AWAY for me as a kid!

[Stiltzsign69]

#1, That beggining part was creepy, Chuckie just pop's out of nowhere and is gonna get you.

#2, These comments are funny (in a good way)

#3, Thank god i was born in the 90's

#4, Im not taking my kids there when i become older. Or i'l just go to a bar instead.

[ivanbunny25]

This is frightening... What erere they thinking? Those fursuits are scary! For some reason "Chucky" looks like some kinda freaky half dead pedo-rat. *cringe* Oh the 80's patriotic brainwashing.

[16dreamz]

There's nothing to smile about in a dark place being greeted by a big rat.

[LeftSock06]

O.K., I'll give you the kid at the salad bar being creepy/ironically funny. ;)

[spiderman4112003]

1. notic the fat kid at salad bar pound of food

2. what is with the nose thing at the end

3. the is so creepy i dont even know where to begin

[LeftSock06]

Yes, Chuck looked like a rat. Guess what? No kid back then (including me) had a problem with it. They were too busy having playing games and having fun!

[servantlol]

lol the chuck in this commercial looked and acted like a pedophile. as much as i loved chuck e. cheese when i was little, i would've hated to have been living in that time period when the mouse looked like that rat in this video.

[bobxluvzxyou]

omfg. how scary..

[CHjfbalko]

I'm putting this commercial on one my Sonic Showtape's Intermissions.

[KatzBeatles]

what is so bad about chuck e cheezes now i may not have been there in awhile but it seems like that is a problem with everything nowadays i just dont see what the problem is

[LeoLion232]

Dude i used to luv that place put now its as worthless as a moldy piece of pizza i mean move on the 80s are over we are in the 21st centrey chucky cheese is a pizza dump where people waste moeny and get crap for as a prize

[genexthrowback]

$20 pizza.

[Depplvr1]

i was kinda dis-apointed when this took over showbiz pizza but it grew on me

[JermLeather]

That place was the greatest place on earth next to Disneyland when I was a kid. The abomination that has become of Chuck E cheese these days is nothing short of prepackaged corporate drivel designed to sell crap to a new crop of easier to please kids that are oblivious to mediocrity.

*sigh* I miss the 80's.

[FirstClassHeel]

Oh, and the 1980s incarnation wasn't?

[ajboyer]

@JermLeather screw you, this was Showbiz Pizza before that rat got a hold of it.. now THAT's an '80s memory!

[JermLeather]

@ajboyer

I am well aware of the history, and eventual merging of the two chains. However they were never ShowBiz Pizza during my childhood. I lived on the west coast.

[garfieldsimpsonfan]

Cool, they show Munch's Maze on here. Those were the Skytubes of the 1980's

[andwhat0092]

This is the type of commercial 'America" needs nowadays. We could really use a "smile."

[KidsTVFan]

What year was this commercial?

[FLIPPYVANDRESON]

about the 80s.

[RockafireGuy]

Very touching commercial. CEC of today is nothing like this.

[garfieldsimpsonfan]

Amen
