Coincidentally enough, there are vinyl figures of the Showbiz Pizza "Rock-afire Explosion" characters coming out right now: (I love that they included a second head to appeal to the FNAF crowd) Just keep it away from Rich Evans, though.

I'm not clicking on anything called 'dick the birthday boy' Basically, RedLettermedia is a group and youtube channel that became popular with it's Mr. Plinkett video essays on the Star Wars Saga that combined deep intelligent analysis with dark humor. RedLetterMedia is made of several individuals, but I believe Mike Stoklasa (the tall, chubbier one with dark hair) and Jay Bauman (the shorter, Burnette guy with the beard) are officially the "heads" of it. Rich Evans is Mike and Jay's friend who is often the butt of Mike's jokes and the original "Mr. Plinkett" character (Mike voices Plinkett in the video essays). They do Half in the Bag (a movie review show) and Best of the Worst (Where a group of them review bad movies and weird videos) as well as other videos from time to time. They are known for being a microbudget film group that has done several films featuring regulars in their group (Rich, Jack Packard, Tim Higgins, etc) that regularly appear in Half in the Bag and Best of the Worst too. Unlike professional movie critics, they're known for their deep analysis of films and love of low budget schlock as well as more artistic fare. People such as Patton Oswalt, Macaulay Culkin, Len Kabasinski, and comic book artist Freddie Williams have appeared in their various content as well. "Dick the Birthday boy" is basically a cursed photo of Rich Evans at a Show Biz Pizza birthday party wearing a shirt that said, "Dick the Birthday Boy" and standing next to the Show Biz Pizza bear. It became known when Mike found the photo and gave Rich a recreation of the shirt as a birthday gift on an episode of Best of the Worst. The photo took on a life on its own when Ellen was on her tv show interviewing Julia Roberts discussing Roberts time working at ShowBiz Pizza as a person in the costume (not the one in the photo with Rich, but who knows?). Anyways Ellen puts up a photo of... Dick the Birthday Boy. Now it's a meme to refer to Rich Evans as a celebrity due to his appearance on Ellen. The original best of the worst episode. Warning: Language The appearance on Ellen Sorry for the info dump, I just happen to be a big supporter of those guys and try to spread the love as much as possible.

I'm not clicking on anything called 'dick the birthday boy' I took the plunge on it and basically it seems like it's just referring to a shirt worn in an awkward childhood photo of one of the people from Red Letter Media.

I actually had a few slices of their pizza a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I was surprised when I found out it was from Chuck E Cheeses. I like pizza that has a thinner crust but the top is more filled than a normal thin crust pizza as in Dominos or Ledo. I also think the new generation with the iphones and such are a reason CEC is losing business but kids are growing up so much faster because of so many different issues going on in the world. I was never much of a game player and preferred a kid's place with a larger amount of play places than games, such as Discovery Zone or these two different ones in the same place at a local mall in the late 1990s. As I said in an earlier post Chuck E Cheese is so broke is because of a predatory equity firm buying them out with leveraged debt. Companies in that position are very vulnerable to any loss of business. Like the virus. Usually by design to force tehm out of business too so the firms can wipe their hands of the debt entirely.

Their niche was serving families in doors, as well as birthday parties, with their games being as much of a draw as their food. Of course they were going to be hit hard when dining inside has been so limited. People who want delivery or carryout pizza are going to get it from the places they usually turn to for that, which is not Chuck E. Cheese.

Is this the place that serves leftover pizzas matched up to look like a new one?
