[@Brazbit]

Billy Bob was the original face of Showbiz Pizza Place, the lead of the Rock-A-Fire Explosion eventually shifted to the gorilla Fatz Geronimo. The story behind Showbiz is messy as heck. The man who started it was supposed to be a Chuck E. Cheese franchisee and after learning all the ins and outs of the business voided his contact right before opening his first franchise location, copied the business model and became the biggest competitor. The lawsuit by Chuck E. Cheese against Showbiz was successful, but Showbiz had the last laugh buying Chuck E. Cheese out of bankruptcy in 1984. After continuing to coexist for a while they converted all Showbiz locations to Chuck E. Cheese due to the greater brand recognition in 1989.

[@StormVII]

...Dammit I've been watching too much Game Theory lately, now I want to connect it back to FNAF.

[@Twinklebrightly]

You can still go see it at Billy Bob's Wonderland. It is kinda fun and weird.

[@jonathanblackwell42]

I learned of this story from a former Showbiz manager. He was still salty about it 10+ years later, bragging about their superior animatronic tech and complaining "but we won! why are we taking their name?!" That's also where I learned that Disney World offers a management conference where you get to go all kinds of backstage.

[@amberace]

I used to go to Showbiz as a kid, because Chuck E Cheese places were an hour away. The pizza was okay.

DQ's slogan where I grew up was just Nappa screaming Dairy Queen repeatedly. Best advertising they've ever had

[@alexandercarter9598]

To correct a mistake: Dairy Queen has had three other mascots for different generations. There was a CGI mouth known simply as "The Lips". Children of my generation may remember "Curly the Cone. Finally, in days long past, there was a mascot known as the "Little Miss Dairy Queen".

[@edwardnygma8533]

The Lips were honestly what I was expecting to see, so I'm kinda disappointed we didn't get to see them discuss the pros and cons of fucking a giant(?) floating mouth.

[@channelknightfadran7901]

Ah, yes: the incredibly well-documented psychological phenomena, "The Mandalorian Effect."

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

This is the way. Or is it? Or am I remembering this wrong?

[@PlagueOfGripes]

We had Showbiz Pizza. Seems like it's the same company as Chuck E Cheese but they rebranded the Showbiz stores. They had a whole hillbilly band. They were animatronic and often broke. It was a scary place. Mostly sure it's what inspired all the silly cartoon terror pizza mascot episodes in the 90s and eventually FNAF by proxy.

[@PuffPuff903]

Cool to see you here

[@iron_Will]

Not to mention that one Gravity Falls episode, "Soos and the Real Girl"

[@carso1500]

I think the story is that some of the owners of Chuck E. Cheese didnt like the direction the company was going, they left the company and created Showbiz pizza as competitors and eventualy Chuck E. Cheese was going through some hard times and Showbiz pizza brought them This is what i remember from the Wikipedia page when i read it a couple of years ago back during my FNAF phase

[@GitShiddy]

[@sandyv4819]

Kaiser is definitely fucking the Bengal

[@hubertblack1485]

...Kaiser saying "Sooner or later, you're gonna make the news" about The Noid is unintentionally dark.

[@brandonprater4613]

As a child, I remember going to Showbiz Pizza many times. When they switched over to Chuck E. Cheese, all they did was replace the animatronic singing bears (that were always "out of order") with someone in a mascot costume. Everything else, including the food, was seemingly the same as before.

@shadowldrago several years back KFC released a Colonel Dating Sim. It was far better than it had any right being, as it was a big advertisement for KFC products.

Jack actually has lore, he was an ordinary Jack-In-The-Box until he got blown up(the restaurant chain got rid of its mascot for awhile after blowing him up in his last commercial) he then got reconstructive surgery and that's when he became a regular guy with a jack-in-the-box head and made a triumphant return as the mascot and (fictional)CEO of the company.

You have SO MANY more fast food joints in America than we do in Canada. I'm getting in on this. I'm a cis-het-THIRSTY chick. 1. Pass. And yes I DID think of multiple functions for it, but still, pass. 2. AH! KILL IT WITYH FIRE! Pass. I like bears. Just not this one. 3. Pass...? It looks TOO much like a guy in a suit, if you know what I mean. 4. Pass. This mascot looks like a child to me, so I'm not going there. 5. Same, and for the same reason as above. 6. Smash. WHY am I with Scott on this one? Again, I don't think we have this one in Canada. Ugh, though, they donate to Republicans? Gross. 7. Hard pass. Age difference again, but this time, it's the other way around. Ew. 8. Pass. If I can control it, I'm only going for one non-human, as explained above. 9. SMASH, because he looks like Super Mario, and I like Italian men. And I'm Italian on my dad's side, and yeah, I see what you mean by the stereotyping, but at least we're stereotypically sexy. 10. Haha...that thing's a cow. Pass. And OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, it's Chick Fillet that's homophobic, right, not the one taco place with a CH name. Why am I blanking on that name? I swear you JUST said it. Chipotle, there we go. 11. PASS, because they're a teenager! I'm over thirty. No pedo. 12. Racist or no, he's still a pass. He's too old for me. 13. Smash. it's a blizzard. No more reasons needed. 14. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice cream, but...I don't know. I want to EAT it, not...eat it. Know what I mean? So pass. Right into my mouth. 15. Pass on f*cking, but I WOULD cuddle him. 16. Pass. Again, I like big guys, but not with that shape and/or colour. PLEASE, purple people, don't go thinking I'm a racist. I'm one of you because I run at low oxygen. Y'all go look up what 'hypoxia" looks like. 17. Soft smash. Not partial to the face, but the pose is very confident, and that's sexy. 18. Pass. Looks like a child. NEXT. 19. PASS, The food is horrendous. To say "I wouldn't feed it to my sister's dead dog" is an insult to my sister's poor, dead dog. Poor Ruby. Like, she didn't go before her time, but we all loved that dog. But seriously, either learn to make a pizza that isn't made out of cardboard, or get the hell outta here. 20. Pass. I'm an Anarchist. No governmental figures, thanks. 21. PASS. Clowns are evil. Everyone knows it. 22. Sigh...like, based on those proportions alone, smash, but I CAN'T because I have really bad memories associated with that place. My ex used to drag me there all the time, and he was an asshole. Anyone here who's attracted to men: when you sit him down for the first time, make sure he's not a white supremacist. Like, right off the hop. I didn't KNOW, so I dated the guy for over a year, and then I found out, and of course it's like, 'I can fix him!', and no, you can't. 23. Oh Gods, KILL IT! Pass. 24. Pass. It's too fuzzy...and I like fuzzy MEN, just not fuzzy animals. 25. Pass, though I do like redheads. 26. Soft pass...? But he has an impeccable jawline.
