The Bizarre Lore of Papa's Games

The Papa’s Games includes over twenty unique entries from the past 15 years. In this time, nobody has attempted to make a concise timeline of the shenanigans that go on within this extensive universe. I attempt the impossible and try to cover an overwhelmingly complicated challenge without much meaning because this is a series about making cartoon food!

Random facts about the Papa Cookeria characters that I know about (lol): - Chuck and Taylor are canonically roommates - In addition, Chuck is said to be one of the only characters that is not a "closer" in one of the games - Franco is Lisa's dad - Alberto and Penny are dating. They met at the Freezeria and things went from there - Timm used to be a lawyer along with Quinn, but he quit his job to become a dancer - Mandi and Tony are married and based off of one the creators of Flipline Studios and his own wife. They have four children - Matt is one of the creators of Flipline Studios - Doan is based off of one of the graphic artists in the studios - Wally is Mitch's grandfather - Mindy and Whiff are dating - Scarlett and Rudy are dating and are the two leaders of "Scarlett and the Shakers" (their band) - Cooper has a little brother, Greg - Yippy is Ember's niece - Clair is Sasha's mother And there's a lot more stuff, but I'm going to leave at this. For those who are wondering about where I found this information, you can check the Papa Cookeria wiki or the official website's Flipdeck

As someone who is OBSESSED with this series and has nearly every factoid memorised, this is probably the best papa louie series video I've ever seen. You got a lot accurate with the timeline but I feel like some things could have been mentioned about the side characters, such as Roy's twin sister Joy, and how Matt, Tony and Mandi are all self inserts of real people (Matt is the main programmer, Tony is the art guy, Mandi is Tony's wife). You also could have mentioned that santa uses warp coins to deliver presents but tbh I hate that santa is a canon customer so the less said about him the better. Very good video nonetheless

[@Hollowboi_2003]

I believe there is a potential explanation that not only sheds light on Papa Louie's sudden shift in character but also why he abandons you during Papa's Cluckeria. I think becoming a Prisoner of War to Radley Manish and Sarge changed Papa as a person, during the attack on Papa's Burgeria. It's not uncommon for POWs to be diagnosed with PTSD, along with generalized anxiety disorders and depressive disorders after being released. The old Papa was a greedy man who wasn't afraid to lie, manipulate those around him, and steal their wages in order to expand his vast fast-food empire. The new Papa is different, more kind and understanding, willing to give away his riches to people down on their luck. But when the Chicken Wars happen Papa suddenly dissappears? We see that the Twins have a Warp Coin, it might be possible that the Twins are affiliated with Radley Manish. If so, maybe seeing the Twins join the war triggered Papa to go into hiding. As the war continued, Papa eventually built up the courage to reveal himself. The Papa's Series is a redemption story, a greedy buisness man is left broken as a POW until he's saved by his own employees who HE manipulated, from then on he chooses to become a new man... a better man.

I don't know why it's so special for me. I've tried others (all of them before pies I think - wings, sushi, cheese, pizza obvs) and none of them were just right, like the Freezeria. Wings were kinda boring and made me wanna eat all the time, and sushiria was incredibly hard to keep track and perfectly cut and roll the ingredients. Which is kinda true, from one side, but from the other, this is usually a work of like four people, and one of them only does rice, all day.

[@abbycaldwell3166]

I'm convinced that Papa Louie has something going on in the background with Guy Mortadello. The guy stole mutliple people's possessions leaving them with employment at Papa's as their only option. Papa Louie is heralded as a hero for helping these down on their luck people, but I think he planned it all out so he could avoid the scrutiny of dumping restaurants on unsuspecting "prize winners." He seemingly holds a monoply on fast food joints and when competition arises in a new sector, we're encouraged to help beat it down for Papa. He diverts tourism to remote destinations where he conveniently has a restaurant set up. He strongarms brand new employees into running his businesses for him. He only uses his vast wealth to help others once they've been brought into his restaurant schemes. It's clear that the only thing that's changed about Papa Louie are his methods.
