Was Avenger the best era for CEC? #Thoughts?

Well in my childhood i grew up with the Avenger era and i thought it looked cool but when they swithed to a CGI mouse i was like wt..

This biggest issue I have with “Rockstar” Chuck change is how the company pretty much went against their original morals with “Without Magic, we’re just another pizza place.” I get it, companies change things throughout their life because it’s a business, but the new remodeled CECs feel so corporate and soulless. I feel like I’m looking inside a Wendy’s. The “Avenger” Chuck felt like someone I could call a friend and a brother. His soft spoken, calm, welcoming voice tuned me into the show. He and his friends also didn’t put him on a pedestal every second of the day. Listen to “If Everyone Were Chuck E.”

Yeah, the avenger era was the best era of CEC. Studio C especially back then really felt like a real tv studio and it could interact with the guests. How they would merge the show footage and puppet footage and have it switch around the TVs really brought the show to life, and it really did feel magical. Just like CEC said themselves, “without magic, were just another pizza place.” I remember the interactive console, blue screen, and all the rest. Studio C today just doesn’t have that magic touch like it did before. I grew up as a kid when duncan was voicing Chuck E., and the show now just isn’t so amazing to watch anyomore. At the same time, I’d have to agree that it would make sense why it is how it is currently. Today’s kids go to chuck e cheese’s for the games, food, live show, maybe even the wifi, but not so much for the show anymore. The only time the showroom ever has an audience is for a birthday, even then people don’t watch the show. I myself am a huge fan of Chuck E. Cheese’s, and I loved watching the show as a kid when it still had that magic touch. It’s sad to see the direction it’s going in, especially since the show itself is what sets CEC apart from the competition. Without it, they’ll be just like every other arcade or pizza place that’s out there. The show is what makes CEC a special place to go to.

I really loved how inspirational Avenger Chuck was in my childhood, one of my all time favorite song from this generation,Keep on Smiling, is still inspiring to me today, I really enjoy re-listening to shows I haven't heard in a long time and I can see the efforts in both the song and the video. The puppets just see to be a cheap way to visuals to a song, unlike the costumes which took time to make the background and storyboards.

Avenger Chuck honestly had the coolest design. 😎

I know I was born in 2001, I've only went to Chuck E, Cheese's 3 times in my life time, 2004, 2007, and 2017. And I've only seen the 2017 shows, with a Studio C Beta, because in 2004, I was playing games, not realizing there was a show room, and it was busy. And in 2007, it was empty, like we were the only ones here, and still didn't know there was a show room. Plus in 2017, when I thought there was no animatronics, the curtains flew open and Studio C Chuck E. was there, I was scared, because he was ugly. I kept hiding behind the ice cream machine every time the curtains open, until I got my Play Pass. Also in 2008, before my show was about to start on PBS Kids, I got a Chuck E. Cheese ad before the show, making me want to go to Chuck E Cheese's, man I loved it. Then in 2012, when I saw the ad, I was miserable, I didn't like it. Chuck E. turned tiny, ugly, and played a guitar! I didn't want to look at it now.

I grew up with this era! I remember going to Chuck E. Cheese’s during this era and watching the sponsors on PBS kids and playhouse Disney.

Well stated. It's crazy to think that the company has willingly continued this downward spiral, digging their heels in, instead of listening to fans- all the way to bankruptcy. Honestly, if CEC survives long enough for my kids to go, I'm not sure I would even want to take them that often. The store atmosphere seems more mentally-grating for adults, its too bright, too cold, i think GENERIC and STERILE sum it up best. The stores have felt so bland after phase 3; no character, no spirit. The older stores felt warm and welcoming. Softer lighting, different areas sectioned off with walls to give more incentive to explore. Tons of unique and impassioned artwork and trinkets lining the walls, items that were legitimately interesting, I'm lucky to own some of them. And of course, the newer show tapes all sound like some generic kiddie crap you'd find on morning television... As a kid, I felt like Chuck E. and his friends were genuinely my friends. The show dialogue was always so friendly, and Chuck E. would ALWAYS take at least a minute or so after each segment just to give his thanks and appreciation to all the fans. I felt genuinely appreciated and loved. The new Chuck E. might feel more like a "rockstar", sure... but that means acting stuck up and narcissistic like a rockstar too. He's too disconnected from his fans, both the character and the voice actor.

He really was the older brother you never had. that's same way i felt.

Rockstar: *is a jerk* 70s-early 80s Chuck E: am I a joke to you

I remember chuck e cheese in the avenger era was the most memorable because I always try to hit jackpots and have the machine throw gold coins and tickets at me and the animatronics hugging me out of nowhere during my birthday

I've caught one of your ChucksterChat videos back in August, but coming across this, you've earned yourself a new subscriber.

Avenger and Rockstar are my two favorite eras. I was born in 2003, so I can’t say much about the other past two, but I will say that Avenger was HUGE in my time. Best Friend and Every Boy, Every Girl (2007) are my favorite songs from this era.

Back then Jasper was Chuck's target Guess he's swap sides

The new Chuck reminds me of the pizza time theater one as they where both rude

I think the main reason people like Avenger is because of nostalgia, me being british, have no nostalgia of Chuck E Cheese, so I think it's pretty obvious why people like Avenger, obviously they are probably alot of other reasons but the main reason is probably Nostalgia.

Our saviour

I never looked at the show when duncan voiced ,but from what I hear he was better

I would actually prefer the pizza time theater one from the 70’s it’s basically rockstar but better because ya he was salty but he still cared for them

“He makes him looks like a god compared to him” LOL 2020

CHUCK E CHEESE CAN CHANGE SOLID OBJECTS INTO ANY THING HE WANTS?! bye bye goku, chuck e cheese is the new over powered god now :)

8:22 … 1977-1984 PTT chuck was also mean to his friends, but in a funny way. He still cares about his friends. and even apologized to Harmony one time when she was moving away due to chucks insults. I haven’t been to Chuck E. Cheese a lot lately so I haven’t experienced rockstar chuck being a lot mean to his friends. But I saw the most “powerful” mouse of all song, and then this video, I put the pieces together.

Man, I remember when Chuck E. Cheese actually felt exclusive and exciting to visit in those days, and one of those reasons is thanks to Avenger Chuck E(plus the games and prizes generally being more fun and diverse in my visits). Now I've gotten sick to death of Chuck E. Cheese, such a shame the Rockstar era got so mundane and corny.

Great video, Chuckster CEC. IMO, I think you should make a follow-up to this video. You can talk more about Avenger Chuck's relationships with his friends( especially with Helen), as well as that certain voice actor controversy that involved Duncan in 2012, among other things Avenger Chuck-related. BTW, Avenger Chuck is Best Chuck!

Another thing the Avenger Era did right - getting an appearance in a modern Disney film. A clip from the CEC Entertainment movie Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000 plays during the BuzzzTube scene. The movie stars Duncan Brannan as the voice of Chuck E. Cheese, Jeremy Blaido as the voice of Jasper T. Jowls, Chris Sabat as the voice of Munch and Georgia Denney as the voice of Helen Henny. This is a reference and tribute to the team-up between CEC Entertainment and Disney in 1994 when several showtapes were being made by The Walt Disney Company, with filming for the video footage taking place at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Disney's contract expired two years later in 1996, and the shows were made by the entertainment part of CEC Entertainment, which would later be named “Department 18 Productions”. Before even that, CEC worked closely with Disney on an unaired Christmas special and the CECTV intro

I love the avenger

i love avenger chuck

Avenger is wonderful. Rockstar chuck is um..something else.

my favorite version of him is when he was in The Tuxedo

God bless y’all

I grew up with Avenger Chuck E. Cheese.

Avenger chuck e cheese is so cool he is my favorite chuck e cheese

The number one best era I grew up on

I love avengers Chuck I was born on 2008

My top 5 favorite Chuck E. Cheese’s eras 1. Avenger 2. Rockstar 3. Tuxedo 4 pizza time theater

Chuck E. Cheese avenger cute

I miss avenger chucks accent. 😭

Pretty much the commercials from the mid late 2000s - 2014 were fun to see because it had the mascot telling them to come to their stores. Nowadays the commercials barely show the mascot or the characters.

Great video!

Will look back at pizza time theatre at Harmony howlett's Wild West when you see deep in the Heart of Texas chuckster is really neat

I agree I think he helped me out to get out of the shy stage a little and I was shy around him. But he was like a big brother that I wished but at the same time I have a crush on him at the same time I don’t know what to do.

Man I wish I went to CEC at this era. Actually I’ve never went at all.

Ya the costume guy even hates my guts why just why bring him back the avenger chuck was the best

I like the old chuck he just looked cooler and since I was a kid in the early 2000s I’ve always admired cool chuck or avenger chuck cause I would go to Chuck E. Cheese’s in different cities growing up so some places still used cool chuck and if they would’ve changed chuck when I was a kid I would’ve been completely pissed and not even interested in seeing the new walk around chuck We need that 80s 90s early 2000s swag back kids today are all tech heads and they missed out on the best times

I remember how good the showtapes and stages (I grew up on a Studio C Alpha, wasn't introduced to other stages till much later. Shocked the hell outta me when I saw a 3-stage and the other characters weren't "somewhere in the back" like I used to think 😂) used to be. When the announcer started his introduction for Chuck E. Cheese...all the kids would drop whatever they were doing and flock to the showroom, they used to be that good. Couldn't get me to do nothing else when Chuck E. was singing. Now...they don't even give a reason to care.

I would think avenger chuck on commercial was a looney tune character

My dad used to Call avenger chuck Fat chuck because my location had the logo from 1997 and he looked kinda fat

I love the avenger era

I love Avenger Chuck, he was the man of my dreams, and Avenger Chuck E will be infinite times better than Barney, Caillou, Go Titans, Dora, Arthur, DW, Bluey, Bingo, Peppa, George, and Nate Wright!

yeah Rockstar Chuck,don't be a jerk to your friends!they just want to do whatever they want!

5 years old and still valid!

Phase 3 is the best place design for Chuck E Cheese.

Yes make a part 2

i miss chuck e cheese, even if i never whent tho those places.

i cant belive i was roasted by this video 5 times in a row about rockstar chuck.

On May 19th 2023 i Gave Chuck E A Hug And Got My Pictures Taken At The Chuck E Cheese Sketchbook

Honestly it’s weird to say but!!! I like the 1980-1989 era! I know it’s weird to say. Scott Wilson was the best for me! 😁 (even though I didn’t grow up in the 80’s)

9:17 They don’t want him to be What?

I do like Avenger Chuck but rock star chuck is not a jerk

Where’s that video of Duncan messing around at dept 18?

Ya I agree with you

I wish avenger would come back 🙂🇩🇬🤔🇧🇦❤😃

7:55 In chuck e cheese galaxy 500 Jasper was the mechanical genius so he is the smartest one out of all of them

yeah 1994-96 Chuck E was the best!!

I Prefer Both Chuck E. Cheese Mascots In This Video You Compared

Avenger is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!

You should make a part two

I like avenger era and tux

Why is he called Avenger Chuck?

I still love ptt rude cec

part two!!

Duncan is an overblown Christian.... He learns what the heads of CEC will do to keep their character YOUNG.....

my childhood

CEC must have something against Pasqually for some reason. Chuck's always a jerk to his friends, CEC replaces him with a rabbit, they don't make any merch of him, it all adds up.

rock star chuck e is not a jerk he just losses his tamper

I like your cancel love vid

Modern rockstar it's now the 1970s personaly

Make a part 2

Rockstar chuck is alright but I wish the avenger chuck was still around. But I wonder how the avenger chuck would look like in CGI

Bring back back avenger chuck and Duncan #chucksterchat

As long as he is Chuck e I like him

My name is Jace and I love cec and I got so freaking scared at the end

Why are they not doing segments like on 2013

Opinion Respected On Avenger Chuck (DESPISE BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Are you planning to make a video about how you don't like Modern Rockstar Chuck?

Well avenger era removed the showroom walls, balcony seating, the curtains, and the dim lighting wich is ehhh but it’s better than no stage

I don't think current Rockstar Chuck is much of an asshole. I mean, sure, he shows his exasperation a little and he's kinda snarky, but he's still good-hearted. I can only think of a few instances where he was a jerk, like when Munch wanted to join his trio and he just said, "Munch? No."

Well, I'm glad they haven't retrofitted the animatronics and Studio C bots with the Rockstar face yet. Chuck E. Cheese fell off, and this is coming from someone who's a fan. You also hear too much modern pop music during the showtapes that KZfaq's Content ID system can easily pickup whenever you record a store tour (unless you dub the music in of course).

I hate rockstar he needs to go home and get fired

420 VIEWS!

What does avenger mean for avenger Chuck E. Cheese?

Avenger chuck e is made of rubber.

John Widelock's PTT's my favorite version of Chuck E. Cheese, even though I grew up with Cool/Avenger Chuck but Avenger's probably my 2nd favorite. I just like that Jersey accent Widelock had & how much of an asshole he was back in the day. ''TURN 0FF THE FRUITCAKE D0G! TURN HIM 0FF! SHUT UP!"

I was born in 2006 and although i was just a little baby/kid back then and hated to be pictures with any type of costume characters besides only chuck e cheese atleast Avenger was there for me and i wish I could have got a picture with him cause once I had a bday of CEC when i turned 5 but those were times when i was scared of him back then and I'm now 15 so i ain't scared of him anymore but with the rockstar one around i was like "I regret this" cause i never ever actually had a great picture with Chuck E. After he's dumb redesign and plus ever since rockstar was around when he first came in 2012 i was only 6 so i obviously still hated the costume but just I liked the character (AND I WAS DUMB CAUSE LIKE I SAID I WAS ONLY 6) and I'm done writing this stupid crappy comment cause it's too long so k now bai

this is like we had the good old attitude era that i loved then they went pg it was garbage wwf to gay wwe

the modern rock stars not a joke and is the best out of all Chuck E cheese history

This is sad because what if in the future he is more mean like kicking people in the shows no animatronics or anything and I thought this because they said they don't want him to be PREACHY

The thing also is avenger looks much better than rockstar chuck

11:28 they broke the 4th wall (a lot) they didnt have curtains wich broke the illusion chuck and his gang was real
