This is Billy Bob. He was the main character of ShowBiz Pizza. You may be more familiar with Chuck-E-Cheese. They were from the same company. I had several birthday parties as a kid at ShowBiz Pizza. FYI @Will

Shit’s terrifying as hell
Can confirm LOL
You ok, buddy? 😂
I had a love and hate relationship with them if I remember correctly. They were cool from far away, but if you went up right in front of them on stage they were scary. I have long since recovered <3
Oho boy! 🤭😁🤣😇
Looks like someone doesn't want to finish their pizza oho! ☺️😁🥰😇

You're going to finish your pizza.

Most creepy was that one animatronic that was always broken down. It'd just...stand there...staring...
The stuff of childhood nightmares!
We were different in the 80s.
Certainly were! We had the pleasure watching Noseybonk in the late 70s/early 80s…
WTF 😂
Smitty’s Super Service Station is an amazing place - I hope to visit there one day! I saw a little documentary on it awhile ago. What a labor of love.
You could find me at the skiball 😂 #throwbackthursday
Dude! We had a Showbiz pizza! I totally forgot about that place. You triggered a memory with this throwback for sure lol
Haha. Definitely #ThrowbackThursday but I also did it because of nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s 😂
nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 have you ever seen the documentary "The Rockafire Explosion"? It is basically a history to the robotics company that exploded with the popularization of Showbiz and imploded down to one employee (the original founder) who kept the company going well into the 2000's by helping SBP enthusiasts rebuild and service Rockafire Explosion bands in their basements, garages, and small town pizza parlors.
If you were traumatized by the Rock-afire Explosion as a child, this is a safe way to face your demons.
Awesome. I'll check it out. Thanks!
Did you know that Chuck E Cheese actually PRE-DATED Show Biz Pizza?
that i didn't know. i thought it was the other way around. i do know they had some legal issues and a company split at one point, but i will need to revisit this all again. thanks for the link :)
My npub is actually a Showbiz Pizza facts generator.
Now THIS is the kind of hard hitting dialogue I come to Nostr for 🔥🔥🔥

Did you know that the perimeter formed by all Showbiz Pizza Places in border and coastal states were ley lines that kept the souls of children sacrificed in the ball pit trapped and under the ownership of Show Biz Inc? Their energy was used as backup power for the robots during inclimate weather.
The show must go on, after all.
Followed.

Did you know the Show Biz Pizza Place ball pit was actually an ancient sacrificial altar to eldritch gods? One child was claimed per day, per pizza place. For 14 years.
I saw one on Craigslist for sale a few years ago. I regret not buying it. 🤣
Oh wow. That would have been amazing 🤩
I remember and went to ShowBiz
Yup, had few bday parties there myself back in the day
Ditto. He was my favorite. Good times in the 80s.
😂😂😂
I remember ShowBiz (:
