First, he says he was forced to use the n-word, now he's saying he was extorted. Pick a lie, stick with it. Also, extortion is a very serious crime, so I do await the police report. He's saying during the meeting, he was forced and afterword they tried to extort him. Neither claim contradicts the other. Brent, this is not the guy to waste energy defending or giving the benefit of the doubt to. He keeps changing his story, and even in his desired context his use of the word is racist as f***. |

He was quoting Col. Sanders(Supposedly). Not using it directly at any black person. If I say "Bob called Mary a bitch". I don't think Mary is a bitch, I don't think women are bitches because I happened to say the actual word. No, no, what he said was "Col. Sanders said *blank*, and no one complains about that, but they do when I do it". Nevermind that there's no notation of Col. Sanders saying it. He's basically complaining that people are getting on his shit. It's "whataboutism". The fact that he followed it up by reminiscing on the days when people he knew would drag black people around from the back of their trucks to kill them doesn't help paint him in any kind of good light. Like...I get it, you do the contrarian thing, but this is SO not the hill to die on. Not to mention... Regardless if he did or didn't use the N-word. Colonel Sanders hasn't said anything in almost 40 years. a shitload has happened in society in 40 years... |

Well it doesn't matter because other people said it too.” |

I wish he'd gone more goofy with it. "Chuck E. Cheese had mob ties before he turned state's evidence."

Charles Entertainment Cheese is an orphan who celebrates birthdays because he doesn't know his own birthday. He wants to vicariously live through fulfilling the birthday wishes of others and share in their revelry. No, seriously, that's actually canon. |

I'm going to go on record and say that the Papa Johns Pizza I had in New York is easily the worst Pizza I ever had. And this after a night of extreme drinking and somehow that pizza was so crap, that all that alcohol couldn't hide how bad it tasted. You were in New York and Papa John's was the pizza you decided to have?! It was 2am and there were no other Pizza places open. |

I never got why people are so weirded out by Chuck being an orphan. The company doesn't go into detail into what happened to his parents. It's not that grimdark or edgy. All I thought was "oh, the mouse is an orphan. That sucks, poor guy." |

Please, internet, stop trying to give backstories or overthink things that nobody in the actual company probably thought about when creating the said thing. It's dumb, it's unnecessary and makes you look like people that can't enjoy things just to enjoy them. Thank you. |

I don't mind the backstory at all, I thought it was a good thing. Why not make your mascot a little more sympathetic? I was mostly curious as to why people were weirded out by it. |

You were in New York and Papa John's was the pizza you decided to have?! It was 2am and there were no other Pizza places open. New York pizza places are open until 4. WHAT'S THE REAL REASON?! WE WANT THE TRUTH! |

If you don't feel like taking the subway at 2AM to the East Village or Downtown Brooklyn then you gotta make due with what you have. |

Look, if I'm drunk at 2 am, even I'd consider Papa Johns in the middle of NYC. Drunk + tired = poor judgment.  |

It's not grimdark so much as really sad. Which is fine, orphans exist and are fairly common in fiction, it's just the detail of not having a birthday to celebrate that is really depressing. The orphanage couldn't even decide on one for him? |

It is an oddly sad detail for a kids' pizza chain. It's just weirder to me how people act like Christopher Nolan's writing Chuck's backstory. |
