A History of Chuck E. Cheese: Last Squeak Tonight with John Oliver (Web Exclusive)

I used to work in an arcade. People would come in and ask "how to you put up with all these kids all day every day?" I would answer "Are you kidding? The kids are great, it's the adults that make this job stressful."

I'm 72. I'm watching it because I hate to miss anything from this English Toucan. I LOVE you Olivar.

Did I want to know this much about Chuck E. Cheese? Never. Did I watch the whole thing? Completely enthralled.

I was Chuck E Cheese in high school. I danced in front of the mechanical band. I always picked Walkin' on Sunshine or What I like About You for the songs. I liked Jasper the Dog's costume better, more comfortable. Everything I've gotten in my life since then has been because I include it on my resume. One time one of the "cooks" dropped a bag of weed out in the restaurant and I picked it up with my big floppy Chuck E. gloves. Then a mom stopped me for a pic with their kid, a polaroid. They gave it me. I still have the pic of chuck e cheese holding a bag of weed. A friend I met as an adult also worked at a different Chuck E Cheese where an old man died up in the plastic tube playground. Amazing!!!

“I need a cop, I need an ambulance, I need everything” Incredible

The fact y'all even named the webisode "Last Squeak Tonight" is the level of dad joke humor I come for.

“Illegally Italian” had me rolling 😭

I didn't realize this was the unhinged journalism that I was missing in my life. I can't tell you how much I loved this episode.

“Kids these days aren't interested in the animatronics.” Five Nights at Freddie: exists

I did not realize just how much Five Nights At Freddies lore was just the History of Chuck E. Cheese.

This actually answered a burning question from my childhood. I never understood why my beloved Showbiz Pizza turned into a Chuck E Cheez. Now I finally understand.

I worked at a Chuck E Cheese for less than a week, and they made us share the Chuck E. costume and only sprayed it down with Fabreeze between uses. So bashing that Chuck E. head must have been cathartic xD

Could I just mention that this was longer than the main story about HOAs? I absolutely love this show.

"we thought we could talk about this for 5 minutes but then it got out of hand" ah yes, The Hbomberguy Effect

This is perhaps one of the greatest last week tonight episodes of all time

I must have asked myself "what the fuck am I watching?!" at least 25 times. Thank you for this amazing piece of hard-hitting investigative journalism😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is my late father's legacy. David Thomas, you can look him up. He worked for Aaron Fechter at CEI and did a lot of the design and technical work for the Rockafire Explosion, then was paid after the acquisition and rebranding to do the retrofit of the animatronics at some of the stores. I grew up with the empty skins of these characters strewn across the back bedroom of my house, and often saw their naked metal skeletons when I went with my dad to his workshop. Probably why FNAF has never been scary at all to me, I already lived that nightmare as a kid.

When he yelled “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!!” I got so happy

The Chuck E Cheese band playing Thriller in the 80s for my birthday party was and still ranks as my best birthday party ever!

I love a story that makes John's genuine glee emerge.
