The History Of Chuck E Cheese’s In Paducah Ky

[@cosmiiccrayons]

I’ve been looking forward to this video! This was my local Chuck E Cheese’s and I can confirm they had Buzzy Buzzy Bee. I spent most of my visits as a kid rotating between that and Skee Ball!

[@jacobburr3570]

My cousin and I had our birthday party here when were both 5 and 6. He convinced me to crawl under the tables and behind the curtains to check out the animatronics! A few moments later the show was on. Seeming the lifeless drummer kick in to action. Simultaneously the curtains open up behind me. Looking over to my cousin staring up at the bassist. We both believed these robots were alive in some way or another. Our parents noticing where we disappeared to came running. Half embarrassed while getting a kick out of it. And then came the pizza 🍕 So many good memories there. I still drive by the building everyday to work. How time has changed.

22:17 that was a good Peter Griffin impression

[@netsirk8437]

Agreed! 😂

[@coolkid57456]

17:09 TKO is a company that makes drums and they just wanted to reference it on here. Tons of stores did that with mapex too

[@redrobin2005]

This is awesome to see a video over this special location. I'm in Missouri, but I usually went to Paducah to see the three stage band. I miss them so much, but I have so many great memories.

[@AshestheEvilClown]

Thank you for the comprehensive video! When I was younger I was a part of the community. I often filmed here but have since privated my videos, this was back in like 2015 lol. The memories will always be there though! ❤

[@yeahsametbh.]

OMG NATHAN!! You don’t understand how happy it makes me to see the little podunk town my family has lived in getting its own video.

[@netsirk8437]

This brought me back to my childhood. I visited Showbiz Pizza in Paducah many times as a kid.

[@ZacDicoot]

I love watching these videos because it brings nostalgia

[@josiahabnerCEC]

22:21, That’s a good Peter griffin impression

[@LionsFan180]

Chuck E. cheese is one of my favorite things in life!!!

[@chucke.cheese3881]

22:20 that is a really good peter impression

[@danni7578]

Can confirm, this location did have the bee game. I used to go here when I was a kid in the early 2000’s

[@AndyKent-c7w]

When I was in the 2nd grade, my school took us on a field trip tour to the Paducah location. The management was happy to show us how the animaltronics worked, along with all the other goings on of the restaurant. I spent many of my young birthdays at this Showbiz. One visit, it was storming so bad that it made the power blip. Evidently, it hurt the animitronics because none would function after the blip until they were fixed. I remember Uncle Klunk. He scared me. The Showbiz in Paducah smelled like pizza. As I remember, it looked and also sounded like a very standard Showbiz, from the games to the dining room. Billy Bob made guest costume appearances almost daily. Years later, I took my young cousin to the then Paducah Chuck E Cheese's. It just wasn't as fun and original. I have rare yet fun memories of my dad carrying me to see behind the curtains as the Rock A Fire played. An employee on one visit while emptying the tokens from the arcade machines, kept pushing the free button for free games for me to try. Whack a Mole sure was fun along with the ball pit and ski ball! Showbiz Pizza Place in Paducah to this day, makes me smile and remember the special memories of the old Showbiz Pizza Place in Paducah, Kentucky.

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

Good work on this video! You sure covered a lot of ground. Very interesting history. Very sad at the end with the 2.0 remodel. The only thing left of 3 stage are the slanted walls.

[@LionsFan180]

I'm gonna wait until it starts!

[@LionsFan180]

I promise I will!

[@jasonadair9849]

I spent many hours as a kid in this particular on in Paducah. I miss the old original showbiz. Chucky just wasn't as good. It's still there but alot of the stores in the mall have closed in the last few years.

[@ethandamemeboi08]

This is gonna be one cheesy history.

[@ItzTallyMark3]

Man that made me chuck up

[@rapidlyvids]

[@ariannedebose3862]

That is very hilarious😂 It’s funny cause all of Nathan histories are cheesy

[@Cheezbat]

So sadly, the robots from this show have been destroyed… All except for One… I can confirm this.

[@TheWorldSpinsSlowly]

Nice history! Oh, and also, something unrelated, there was a time where a squirrel scored an unofficial touchdown on the Louisville field in the 2010s, it was an amazing sight. Did you see it? The announcer was cheering him on.

[@therandomdudeguy]

Super excited.

[@PrimeStone]

This is going To Be Very interesting

[@colonelmonkey85]

We didn't have an Uncle Grumpy animatronic or whatever. By the early 90s, the Billy Bob costume was rancid. One of the people that wore it would...ahem...take liberties with himself in it. The TV room would play sports on the TV, but I don't know if it was all the time. source: live there

[@Mario-fv1sg]

The mall goes dark: Billy Bob IT'S SHOW TIME

[@LionsFan180]

I bet I will love it!

[@Arandomspongebobguy]

I know you are really busy, but you can do a history of other Chuck E. Cheese's around the states. Like Madison, TN, Tulsa, OK, a while later on.

[@goldfish9150]

Yooo its so cool seeing a video about a chuckecheese from your home town that you've been too, super interesting!

[@randallgoeswhere]

I could be imagining this but I distinctly remember there used to be a big diorama of a war field where you could drive little tanks and stuff at the one by me.

[@MrBigMac9647]

You should do the history of either the former chuck e cheese's in dallas tx for being very special or the old chuck e cheese's in kansas city for being the first showbiz Also 29:33 is huntsville :) But paducah's bots are no longer there :(

[@redfish2525]

This is gonna be so long as Chuck E Cheese years we know today

[@mig0171]

30:55 that’s just the silhouettes

[@georgiossal]

Can you pls do the history of the cec location in Dubai outlet mall🙏

[@thevirtualnomad7269]

Could you do one on the CEC in Augusta, GA? It’s across the street from the Augusta Mall and seems to still be open with people going in. Could you also enable captions for your videos?

[@thevirtualnomad7269]

There’s a video on this platform of the store undergoing CU. Every time I drive by it seems to be somewhat busy. It’s also one of the stores that had the yogi bear show.

[@spongegenerator]

Great video and can't wait for the history of Chuck e cheese of Lexington Kentucky

[@treebotreviews]

Paducah Kentucky was the CEC we went to the few times we went. As it was much closer to southern Illinois. As of now I took my former girlfriends niece and nephew and they have indeed ditched the animatronics. As for the past, the last time I went with the family was in 2014 to my young cousins birthday party. The Chuck E animatronic had a change to the head.

[@matturban9103]

I miss Showbiz. It was so much better than Chuck E. Cheese.

[@michaelconnors5534]

Hey Nathan, What is your favorite Chuck E. Cheese's Commercial (Mine is Smile America because of how emotional it is. I miss those days of the PTT. Even though I wasn't born in that era)

[@XDecksdeeXD182]

[@karlgt3656]

[@JustinTheLogoKid]

oh hey it’s that location not too far from me

[@japoople]

nice to see a video about my local! went semi-regularly from 2009-2015 and i never once saw their jasper or helen walkarounds. had birthdays there in 2009 and 2012. also can confirm that they did have buzzy buzzy bee. there exists another aerial photo from ~1983 of paducah as a showbiz, and also one from 1995 as a chuck e. cheese's pizza. it became a cec-p around november 1992, not long after concept unification. i have a few photos of the interior from somewhere around 1996, showing their pasqually/middle stage, ball pit, 1994 head/tuxedo walkaround costume, and other parts of the gameroom/showroom. a couple things of note; the wall by pasqually's stage (in between the wooden wall paneling and the emergency door) are bare, with no record posters. unsure why. also, one of the game room photos includes a ptt chuck e. carousel ride. i would assume from a closed location?

[@haidynsworld3820]

I have a theory what if Freddy Fazbear's had their own Pizza Time theater location it would be called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Time theater and it would have the four main animatronics Freddy Bonnie Chica and Foxy as well as one side character and there would also be a Freddy Fazbear mascot costume walk around character he would look very similar to Billy Bob from ShowBiz Pizza but with a few differences

[@k_xmron]

You should do the Chuck E. Cheese’s in Austin TX (specifically the Ben white blvd location)

[@kristinlambert8811]

Showbiz pizza had only one female animatronic character and Chuck e cheese pizza might've had only one female animatronic show room character, but there was three female cabaret animatronic characters named Dolly dimples, harmony howlette, madam oink, but there was, also one female animatronic character who was not playing on stage, but was on video screen named Bella bunny
