A History of Chuck E. Cheese: Last Squeak Tonight with John Oliver (Web Exclusive)

I'm 72. I'm watching it because I hate to miss anything from this English Toucan. I LOVE you Olivar.

I used to work in an arcade. People would come in and ask "how to you put up with all these kids all day every day?" I would answer "Are you kidding? The kids are great, it's the adults that make this job stressful."

Did I want to know this much about Chuck E. Cheese? Never. Did I watch the whole thing? Completely enthralled.

I was Chuck E Cheese in high school. I danced in front of the mechanical band. I always picked Walkin' on Sunshine or What I like About You for the songs. I liked Jasper the Dog's costume better, more comfortable. Everything I've gotten in my life since then has been because I include it on my resume. One time one of the "cooks" dropped a bag of weed out in the restaurant and I picked it up with my big floppy Chuck E. gloves. Then a mom stopped me for a pic with their kid, a polaroid. They gave it me. I still have the pic of chuck e cheese holding a bag of weed. A friend I met as an adult also worked at a different Chuck E Cheese where an old man died up in the plastic tube playground. Amazing!!!

The fact y'all even named the webisode "Last Squeak Tonight" is the level of dad joke humor I come for.

“I need a cop, I need an ambulance, I need everything” Incredible

I didn't realize this was the unhinged journalism that I was missing in my life. I can't tell you how much I loved this episode.

As an autistic person who grew up during the peak of five nights at Freddy's hearing the statement Gen. Z is not interested in animatronics has to be the funniest part of this episode

Chuck E. Cheese is like a little slice of Florida scattered all over the country.

Could I just mention that this was longer than the main story about HOAs? I absolutely love this show.

“Illegally Italian” had me rolling 😭

This actually answered a burning question from my childhood. I never understood why my beloved Showbiz Pizza turned into a Chuck E Cheez. Now I finally understand.

“Kids these days aren't interested in the animatronics.” Five Nights at Freddie: exists

Reminds me of an old stand-up joke, "My fiancee and I asked married friends of ours what the best birth control was. They told us, 'Try spending an hour inside a Chuck E. Cheese's. After that, if you still want to have kids, no birth control is gonna stop you!'"

During the pandemic, I noticed our local Chuck E. Cheese has a sign in the window saying 'Medium pizzas $5'. I just had to try it after having gone to that same location when I was a kid. The pizza tasted the exact same as it had 20 years ago except this time I immediately started feeling ill. God I miss Chuck E. Cheese.

26:52 HBO lawyers: *sighs and pulls out a box marked “Litigious Entity Combat Equipment”

"we thought we could talk about this for 5 minutes but then it got out of hand" ah yes, The Hbomberguy Effect

When he yelled “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!” I got so happy

Can confirm - as a child going to Chuck E Cheese in the 90s when they still had the animatronic band, we could SENSE the darkness, or even the ghost of it, and it did make us like it more.

I must have asked myself "what the fuck am I watching?!" at least 25 times. Thank you for this amazing piece of hard-hitting investigative journalism😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
