The birthday song that Billy Bob and his friends sing sounds so sad :( It makes me want to cry...

[@honeybutterchips_]

Ikr :(

[@bobbluh2650]

It is acctually a sad song. It's called "Sal's birthday" and it's about a child growing up. And every candle that's lit represents another year past, and another year older. Getting closer to growing out of your childhood and innocence. Burt Wilson wrote that song, and that man is an absolute musical genius

[@b00merang80]

Bob bluh Light up a candle one for every year that's gone DEAR GOD, that song's more sad than I remember.

[@Tyler626-bh4ct]

[@honeybutterchips_]

The creator still looks the same as he did in the 80s ☺️

[@theangrytoybonnie5812]

Everyone, remember that there are younger people who did not know about Showbiz or Rock afire explosion. In different countries they might not have chuck e cheeses. Fnaf links Showbiz and the new generation together. I'm a 00s kid so I have never seen it but, it is amazing. Don't make fun of the kids who come and say "This is real Fnaf", educate them. Thanks.

[@BrandonJamesGuetersloh]

The angry toy bonnie I completely agree with all of that, especially those last 2 sentences.

[@meepMepp]

That actually doesn't have to mean anything just because it is a new generation and different comments the problem is just most of the rae fans are really annoyed by reading a comment like "fnaf 4 confirmed" and stuff like that because those are animatronics that they often connect their childhood with and fnaf is just a game that was inspired on it. It actually really annoyes me too to read mostly comments about fnaf under rae videos because they have tradition and memories

[@lilhoney1657]

When I was 13 I still enjoyed these shows.

[@joyange1]

Funny he calls it "electronamation". Today, we call it "animatornics". We just swapped "electronic" and "animation" around.

[@MrsHotmmm]

OMG!!! I remember being a kid and going to Showbiz Pizza like every other weekend. When I visited their website and saw there pics I was totally freaked out. But CEC will never take away those wonderful childhood memories!

[@richierobinson5428]

PLEASE bring showbiz back!!!!!!

[@Traumaqueenamy]

Wow! This brings back memories. I used to go to Showbiz Pizza quite often as a kid including having at least one of my birthday parties there. Seeing this really feels nostalgic. I remember it was eventually either replaced by or changed into Chuck E Cheese's.

[@jasoncinema]

I can still taste the cheap pizza sauce. I had pictures of the entire Rock-A-Fire Explosion band in my baby book. (I was born in 1981.). The location I went to was changed into a Chuck E. Cheese's (as were most Showbiz Pizzas) in the early/mid '90s; it's still around.

[@adwest72]

I wish they would come back!!!!!!!! I was not born in there time and I want to see them perform!!!! :3

[@masonn1z]

allen west me to but you can in Virginia billy bob’s wonderland

[@LilyRoseTerraharuka]

My town used to have Showbiz Pizza, but the title was under Billy Bob's Pizza & Skating. I remembered having my Birthday Party there and it was amazing, I even remembered that their Pizza was better than Chuck E. Cheese, though I prefer Pizza Hut pizza better. Sadly, it turned into a Flea Market and it was at the time when Chuck E. Cheese was build. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Chuck E. Cheese, but I still don't like how crowded that place is, and it's not the same without the Rock-afire Explosion band. And I really love how people post FNAF comments on here. ROFL!

[@stevegarcia3174]

Man my childhood I used to go to show biz pizza every other weekend good times i loved being an 80s kid

My mom went to this place as a kid. Also, is this the pizzeria from Scott's childhood that inspired FNAF?

[@doedante99]

K.KDivine x Yes, this and Chuck E Cheese were inspirations for FNaF.

[@cherylkaufmann4410]

No the inspiration was his old games when people said the game players looked like horror animatronics and creepy so that the inspiration do some research u five year olds

[@KennedyOkami]

I'm twelve...and I've done more research since then. So please don't make assumptions.

[@diegovalenzuela9898]

Cheryl Kaufmann he meant the animatronic designs were inspiration so shut up and get out thirteen year old scrub

[@redpanda6497]

@@cherylkaufmann4410 That was only the start. They hated on him and said the charcters looked like ( normal, not horror ) animatronics. After that he decided to make a horror game with real animatronics and looked up pizzerias to make the character designs. Scott in fact did based off of the characters from the Showbiz and Chuck. E animatronics. The haters only gave the idea of making a horror game with animatronics, but not the designs. It's better if you do some research, know-it-all five years old.

I wish I had been around for this place though, despite the bear and mouse(?) cheerleader creeping me out like you wouldn't believe, that Gorilla is AWESOME. I just had to look further into him on your site, and I was amazed at all the photos of behead the scenes stuff. Alot of hard work and love went into these characters, if only we could still apply that kind of care to stuff these days.

[@cornellius8418]

Animatronic places always creeped me the fuck even before I found out about Five Nights at Freddy's

[@blossomsbasement]

Such childhood memories I didn’t remember! Like when Billy Bob sang “..you’re going to get a lot of presents, you’re going to get a spanking too..” the song was followed by a guy who came out dressed up as Billy Bob giving a spanking to the birthday kid, one spank per year old. 😂 We would all shout out the years one by one. 🥳 It was a cute and fun birthday tradition. Can you imagine if they did that today? People would be trying to sue for “abuse”, indecency or “sexual harassment”.. 😫 we live in a sad sad world..

[@O_Haraa]

To anyone who comes here and comments about FNAF: 1. This is not FNAF, this is real life! 2. If you're scared about they walking around the restaurant, they couldn't do this, since they were attached to the stage and they are maintained alive and moving because of a gallon of air attached to them, hided in the cortains, and even if they have the right schedule, they still would not be able to walk, because they're too heavy for it. They're not going anywhere. 3. They were not scary at all! They were very entertaining back then (and the pizza was great, too). 4. Even if I really like FNAF, it's pretty annoying commenting here about the game, ok? Have your thoughts about this, but keep it in your head if it's about FNAF. Just enjoy this, ok? Thanks

[@lizzak]

Those things did scare me a bit as a kid - but I was a bit younger and only saw the Chuck E Cheese version. Also, I remember "the cheese factory" room being pretty scary to me as a little kid, but also really exciting and I missed it when they took it away.
