Crusty and Pasqually seem like they would do jokes together

[@LiamCherkasky]

I personally think Pasqually would've used Fatz's mech and played keyboard on the 3-stage and Crusty would've used Dook's and played drums. Especially since they were going to make Fatz Pasqually on the prototype 3-stage anyway. Drumsticks would've been a good replacement for the baseball bat too. They would've named the band Pasqually's Party Time Band or something along those lines.

[@KuDastardly]

Here's a _'what if'_ idea: What if Nolan Bushnell was able to find a coyote costume he wanted to use for his franchise?

[@PIZZA7y54d6gf6]

i don't even know what would happen

[@thepachecos11]

Well the name wouldn’t be Chuck E. Cheese it would be coyote pizza cuz that was the first name idea

[@SolarFarle]

You know Crusty and Munch could've coexisted if they retrofitting Billy Bob's animatronic with Crusty.

[@SlushysSecret]

I’m not sure if billy bobs mech would make a good crusty, they would need to find a way to completely change the mech such as the shell and neck, which would take too long and be too costly

[@ChrosGorilla]

@@SlushysSecret I feel like what they could have done, was retrofit Billy Bob’s mech into Mr. Munch (due to Billy’s more bulky and fat appearance), and then get rid of the parts that made Fatz’s mech more thick and bulky to retrofit him into Crusty without making Crusty fatter and retaining his original skinny appearance since Fatz was originally going to be converted into Pasqually before the final version of CU came in.

[@SolarFarle]

@@ChrosGorilla I like your idea better.

[@ChrosGorilla]

@@SolarFarle Surprised CEC Entertainment didn’t take any notes from me.

[@SolarFarle]

@@ChrosGorilla So many missed opportunities to bring Crusty back. But at least he was acknowledged through name only in one of the newer Halloween puppet skits.

[@toystorytoday2081]

Ah man, I missed it. I honestly loved this concept of Crusty still being around

[@greenbboos]

What if cec still did guest stars

[@Thomasandthetankrailway1993]

I’d be really nice if Crusty was still around, this video gave us a glimpse of what it would be like, great job!

[@Squidistt]

I kinda want Krusty and Munch I feel like both of them as friends would be cool ngl

[@candydream16]

I'm sad crusty got replaced, he's my favorite, I hope he makes a return someday but the odds are pretty low

[@betty12810]

his models they created have been left to rot for ages or should i say..DECADES..so..i dont think we will see him returning at all even if we do its low like you said

[@candydream16]

​@@betty12810 I meant bring him back as in have him be a member of the main cast again, like with having him show up in the music videos and merch

[@pgj1997]

While it's fun to see what his animatronic would look like, I'm more interested in how his character would have evolved. In the PTT era, his whole schtick was that he was unlucky. He's a black cat who wears the number 13, and ironically works for a mouse/rat. I'd see it going either two ways. One is to double down on his misfortune (like Squidward or Donald Duck, as an example), or they'd flanderize him and make sports his entire character.

[@christhejedimaster1885]

I see Crusty actually taking Rolfe's place and what if both Crusty and Munch existed

[@trevortuominen8233]

So where would Chuck E. be? He used Rolfe's mech.

Nice vid as always rob! ❤

[@SplashSurfer216]

If anything, if I had it my way, I would make Crusty the DJ of the band instead of Munch. (DJ Crust-3 would be his stage name) I had my own idea for Crusty that he’d be sort of like the MBB’s gofer or manager, running errands for them, helping them sound better on stage and controlling the lights and music. He’d also be the only member who still refers to Chuck as “Big C”. He’d have a bit of a rivalry with Jasper (being a cat and a dog) similar to how Jasper and Pasqually are sometimes at odds with one another with Jasper being snarky toward Pasqually’s dad jokes, and He’d also have a running gag where he likes to slack off and fall asleep at odd times, leading to Chuck E. and the band, with the help of the audience to wake him up by shouting “Hit it DJ!” or “Wake Up, Crusty!”. I feel like they took some inspiration from my suggestion but still, making Munch a DJ is like putting more on his plate than he can chew in terms of character.

[@toystorytoday2081]

I can already tell, this is gonna be a good one

[@m005g9]

Now the band is called Crusty's Make Believe Band

[@RoscerWildDog]

That was such a cool idea! I might make a video of my version of it as I would do things a bit differently

[@CECbizpizza7767]

YESSS THIS IS SO GOOD

Video idea what is Gast stars never disappeared like in each location. There is a new one.

[@Chunk-E-Cheddar]

I don't see crusty being fatz, I believe if crusty were to still be around... it'd cause a butterfly effect, where the 3 stage would be VERY different in terms of who replaces who.

[@PIZZA7y54d6gf6]

yeah but i still wish crusty was fatz so that way he'd be fat for no fucking reason

[@Sebbiiboi]

Oh my god those concepts are genuinely amazing

[@Shpilo]

Great video just wondering why you didn’t cover a 1/2 stage version of version of crusty

[@ItzaRob]

That was entirely me forgetting, though it wouldn't have been very different from the cyberamic Crusty I showed you guys. It would've just had the different clothing and the arms changed to play the keyboard.

[@thetankman760]

dear Itza rob can you please do a cec history vid on Augusta ga. It holds a place in my heart and i would love to see you do a vid on it, That location has a cool fact about its 3 stage too please and thank you .❤

[@ItzaRob]

I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now.

[@CarsonsPlushiePalooza]

Sorry Pasqually fans, but I think it would’ve made more sense for munch to replace Pasqually. Pasqually was the furthest from Chuck e, and him being a human probably confused some kids when seeing him alongside a bunch of animals.

[@shadowwolf32]

I know you probably aren’t taking requests but I would love to see the history on Chuck E. Cheese on Sheppard ave Toronto, Canada it has a bunch of history from what I know of and their show is in great condition

[@AmyRoseReal]

I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY! WHAT A COINCIDENCE! :O

[@Kitk.]

OMGGG THIS IS SO COOL anyway i wanted to say something!!! So i would think that pasqually would actually replace the fatz mech, since hes more, yk and crusty would be on the drums!! But i do love fat cats sooo 👍

[@mannyc033]

Honestly think that he could’ve taken over Looney, had the oil drum replaced as a trash can to give something like an alley cat type character. And keep everything the same

[@ItzaRob]

Who would've been the pianist? Munch doesn't exist here so you can't say him.

[@parisiennesykes3257]

​​@@ItzaRob i guess they would just use Fatz for parts along with billy bob

[@ChristopherLazarus-em]

but crusty the cat always being billy bob for some reason

[@KuDastardly]

I'm pretty sure Crusty's original premise design could actually blend in with the modern look today as jersey shirts tend to be timeless IMO. At most, his body design would probably have some subtle updates over the years and possibly at least his shirt would get a different color theme.

[@heythatskyle14]

Video Idea: What if the ptt guest stars still existed

[@hannahfritsche-donze1899]

Kansas City Missouri!!!

[@heythatskyle14]

Should've comment this earlier, but would choo choo be retrofitted into crusty junior in cu, or did they just discar choo choo?

[@ItzaRob]

I imagine it would be a Crusty Jr.

[@Sophia-if7zk]

Could you make a video about what if Chuck E. Cheese kept Madame Oink instead of Helen Henny and or what if Queenie wasn’t replace by Minnie and Mizti as Aaron had wanted to keep her,I think these could be interesting concepts to keep as they could open doors to possibly different time lines for all we know,also nice video I really like as it shows the possibly time line it could have gone through one thing I dislike about this video is I think the name would be different as instead of “Munch make believe band”instead it be something like “Crusty and Friends party celebration” as it rolls more of the tongue instead of “Crusty Make believe band” but over all nice video!👍

[@ItzaRob]

I disagree, at least with your suggestion. Crusty's name is two syllables and flows quite well I feel. I may do this sort of video idea similar to this video but it'll be a while since this took a good bit to make.

[@Sophia-if7zk]

Oh sorry that I never really know on how long these take you to make these videos I did the suggestions as I thought the name was a less rolling on the tongue then Munch make believe band name in compass and if you do make the video then (or another video I be fine with either) as you make really good videos over all and also this is kinda a dumb ask are you going buy more rock afire explosion (or even Chuck E. Cheese characters by Chuck E. Cheese animartiocs I mean like 1 stages) animartiocs as you have a Rolfe and Earl and a Dook if you are then cool if you just have them that also cool also I didn’t really though about the title and how well it actually is but over all I like you video and I like your content over all hope you have good luck on future videos.

[@ItzaRob]

@@Sophia-if7zk No, I don't plan on buying more characters.

[@Sophia-if7zk]

Alright cool also is due to how much it costs to like buy them all also I did the Madame Oink and Queenie idea because I un like Crusty i think they change in at least in like how they characters act and look as Madmae oink would probably not have a romance sub plot like Helen as she been de age as she had (aleast in the demo tapes to have a sort of romance with Paqusally) and with Queenie I think her design would change for the 80’s and she have more character added to her and I don’t she would be a cheerleader as they would’ve be any need for her.

[@Worrafish]

In this timeline, a lot of different things happened, but still, showbiz got turned into Chuck E cheese.

[@ItzaRob]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJnXZ5-tidCAhbc

[@SierraRail3Prod]

For me, the first idea would be this. But the second one would be Munch and Crusty on the same stage. Billy Bob would have to have his head changed, like Chuck, his arm would be changed, and a new arm, because the original Billy Bob mech had no left arm. And the guitar mech would be removed. And he would have a body lean down instead of body lean up.

[@ItzaRob]

Too much. They barely changed the mechs on original CU so no way they would have done this. I should also mention Munch doesn’t exist here so the idea kind of falls apart unless you’re speaking of a different timeline where both exist for some reason.

[@EddieFlopz]

I would like this if this happened!

[@bigredo346]

Broooo what if Chuck E. Cheese kept cyberamics and never did studio C

[@Kookie_AlleyCat]

I think the 3 stage crusty being big doesnt fit well, I feel like they would remove Fatz's fiberglass shell and put in new ones, to make him skinnier.

I like the Cyberamic design but personally myself I feel that CEC would have used the proposed King Cosmetics for Crusty and just changed the colors to match crusty.

The King would have been made after cyberamics originally debuted I believe. Even if that wasn't the case, the King's face design is that of a lion's, something that wouldn't have fit with Crusty's design.
