Stephan yelling from off camera is always the best part of these videos.

"I'm not fucking that bear." Someone clip that, because no one will believe Kaiser ever said those words otherwise. 😂

Why does this feel like an excuse for Kaiser to engage in socially acceptable furry behavior

Billy Bob was the original face of Showbiz Pizza Place, the lead of the Rock-A-Fire Explosion eventually shifted to the gorilla Fatz Geronimo. The story behind Showbiz is messy as heck. The man who started it was supposed to be a Chuck E. Cheese franchisee and after learning all the ins and outs of the business voided his contact right before opening his first franchise location, copied the business model and became the biggest competitor. The lawsuit by Chuck E. Cheese against Showbiz was successful, but Showbiz had the last laugh buying Chuck E. Cheese out of bankruptcy in 1984. After continuing to coexist for a while they converted all Showbiz locations to Chuck E. Cheese due to the greater brand recognition in 1989.

Confirmed Jesse would rather pound an otter than pound beaver

TFS slowing devolving from late night toonami into adult swim.

Lani needs to be in on these, his energy goes hard for them

We had Showbiz Pizza. Seems like it's the same company as Chuck E Cheese but they rebranded the Showbiz stores. They had a whole hillbilly band. They were animatronic and often broke. It was a scary place. Mostly sure it's what inspired all the silly cartoon terror pizza mascot episodes in the 90s and eventually FNAF by proxy.

To correct a mistake: Dairy Queen has had three other mascots for different generations. There was a CGI mouth known simply as "The Lips". Children of my generation may remember "Curly the Cone. Finally, in days long past, there was a mascot known as the "Little Miss Dairy Queen".

Definitely want Sports mascots if only to see Jesse contemplate fucking Gritty.

...Kaiser saying "Sooner or later, you're gonna make the news" about The Noid is unintentionally dark.

As a child, I remember going to Showbiz Pizza many times. When they switched over to Chuck E. Cheese, all they did was replace the animatronic singing bears (that were always "out of order") with someone in a mascot costume. Everything else, including the food, was seemingly the same as before.

I NEED to know if they change their minds on The Colonel if they see the Dating Sim version of him.

Showbiz Pizza "Dick the birthday boy" If Lani was there he would have recognized it and mentionned Rich Evans from RLM.

The look of anguish on Scott's face as he learns the awful truth about Buc-ee's, it's like watching a heart break in real-time

As soon as Off Camera asked if the Colonel’s man squirts tasted like gravy, it cut to a commercial where the first words were ‘This is a nightmare’

Jack actually has lore, he was an ordinary Jack-In-The-Box until he got blown up(the restaurant chain got rid of its mascot for awhile after blowing him up in his last commercial) he then got reconstructive surgery and that's when he became a regular guy with a jack-in-the-box head and made a triumphant return as the mascot and (fictional)CEO of the company.

Was Lani channeling his inner Brando?? 😂

Lani doing a Brando impression is the weirdest thing I've seen today, and I saw the first day of snow in my entire life today.

Ah, yes: the incredibly well-documented psychological phenomena, "The Mandalorian Effect."

The banter on the cow was top tier, and no lies were told there

Counterpoint on the Arby's mitt: it's a barrier and a three-way at the same time.

The newest version of CEC mascot is "Chuck E. Chesse". The old version is clearly "Charles Entertainment Cheese".

The divide for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's is the MIssissippi River. To the west its Carl's Jr., to the east its Hardee's. Mostly the same, but Hardee's has the superior breakfast menu with the biscuits.

You have SO MANY more fast food joints in America than we do in Canada. I'm getting in on this. I'm a cis-het-THIRSTY chick. 1. Pass. And yes I DID think of multiple functions for it, but still, pass. 2. AH! KILL IT WITYH FIRE! Pass. I like bears. Just not this one. 3. Pass...? It looks TOO much like a guy in a suit, if you know what I mean. 4. Pass. This mascot looks like a child to me, so I'm not going there. 5. Same, and for the same reason as above. 6. Smash. WHY am I with Scott on this one? Again, I don't think we have this one in Canada. Ugh, though, they donate to Republicans? Gross. 7. Hard pass. Age difference again, but this time, it's the other way around. Ew. 8. Pass. If I can control it, I'm only going for one non-human, as explained above. 9. SMASH, because he looks like Super Mario, and I like Italian men. And I'm Italian on my dad's side, and yeah, I see what you mean by the stereotyping, but at least we're stereotypically sexy. 10. Haha...that thing's a cow. Pass. And OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, it's Chick Fillet that's homophobic, right, not the one taco place with a CH name. Why am I blanking on that name? I swear you JUST said it. Chipotle, there we go. 11. PASS, because they're a teenager! I'm over thirty. No pedo. 12. Racist or no, he's still a pass. He's too old for me. 13. Smash. it's a blizzard. No more reasons needed. 14. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice cream, but...I don't know. I want to EAT it, not...eat it. Know what I mean? So pass. Right into my mouth. 15. Pass on f*cking, but I WOULD cuddle him. 16. Pass. Again, I like big guys, but not with that shape and/or colour. PLEASE, purple people, don't go thinking I'm a racist. I'm one of you because I run at low oxygen. Y'all go look up what 'hypoxia" looks like. 17. Soft smash. Not partial to the face, but the pose is very confident, and that's sexy. 18. Pass. Looks like a child. NEXT. 19. PASS, The food is horrendous. To say "I wouldn't feed it to my sister's dead dog" is an insult to my sister's poor, dead dog. Poor Ruby. Like, she didn't go before her time, but we all loved that dog. But seriously, either learn to make a pizza that isn't made out of cardboard, or get the hell outta here. 20. Pass. I'm an Anarchist. No governmental figures, thanks. 21. PASS. Clowns are evil. Everyone knows it. 22. Sigh...like, based on those proportions alone, smash, but I CAN'T because I have really bad memories associated with that place. My ex used to drag me there all the time, and he was an asshole. Anyone here who's attracted to men: when you sit him down for the first time, make sure he's not a white supremacist. Like, right off the hop. I didn't KNOW, so I dated the guy for over a year, and then I found out, and of course it's like, 'I can fix him!', and no, you can't. 23. Oh Gods, KILL IT! Pass. 24. Pass. It's too fuzzy...and I like fuzzy MEN, just not fuzzy animals. 25. Pass, though I do like redheads. 26. Soft pass...? But he has an impeccable jawline.

I one hundred percent agree with everything Scott said about Chuck E. Cheese when I went there as a kid and I saw the dude in the costume he scared the crap out of me and I didn’t want him anywhere near me.

How did they not find the Dairy Queen lips mascot? Does anyone else remember that mascot

As a non-American, I am upset by this strange glove creature

Lani perfectly captures the grizzled war veteran giving an interview to the History Channel; I love it! 😄

Whenever Scott and Jessie are on screen, you know you’re in for a good time

Showbiz Pizza gave me a terrifying fear of animatronics as a child and I forced my parents to eat in the not-showroom-area everytime we went (because I still wanted the pizza and the arcade experience... just no robo-bear.)

God Lani is gold

Jesse, you're allowed to not like Whataburger, you're only banned if you repeatedly bash it, like your friend ACRacebest.

From this debate, it seems we need to write the various companies to see their official stance on the circumcision status of their mascots.

fun fact, you're almost right about the Noid, from what i remember a guy shot up a dominoes cause he thought the noid was the Illuminati making fun of him cause his nickname was 'noid' and then they canned the mascot

Do people actually not like Arby’s ? I love it

Please keep this style of content coming, I love spending an hour with you guys for these 😊

Why does Showbiz Bear's banjo look like the Necronomicon Exmortis? Bruh has a human skin banjo lmao.

Show Biz Pizza was a north Midwest north east chain that was a competitor Chuck E Cheese. My friends and I had many birthdays there. Eventually Chuck E. Cheese bought them out around me.

"he's not his father" I'm wheezing 😹

Pizza Hut gave out Ninja Turtles vhs as a promo

I'm not old enough to remember Showbiz Pizza but there are several pictures of me as a baby with the showbiz animatronics. They are every bit as dopey in those too

That Whataburger mascot gives real Drawn Together's Captain Hero vibes.

I'm immediately reminded that Scott and Jesse aren't too deep in RLM lore.

I absolutely remember showbiz pizza. There was a place downtown that used to be a Chuck E. Cheese that eventually closed down, then a Showbiz Pizza opened up in the same spot then when they closed down the place reopened as a Chuck E. Cheese again.

30:00 the 90's chucky cheese always looked like a 30 yo koala trying to dawsons creek as a 12 yo mouse XD

I think the creepy bear mascot they couldn't identify was featured in Red Letter Media

"No, I'm not fucking this bear" -Scott Frerichs

I'm HERE for the Mascot Smash or Pass for the Superbowl

Starting a trend of unforgetable commercials "Contract the rainbow, taste the rainbow"

Yeah, Venture Brothers had an official collab deal with Carvel Ice Cream Cakes back in 2018. Carvel got a Brock Samson cake, and Venture Bros got to feature one of their signature whale-shaped cakes in Episode 5 of Season 7, 'The Inamorata Consequence'. Related quote by Red Mantle/Dragoon: "Good lord, this is a *cake!* It is Iced Cream!" "Ice cream?!? Put that down, those are MY arteries!"

My first thought when I got the notification. “Y’all are fuckin the Little Caesar’s Mascot.”

54:30 Scott struggling to read Japanese text and giving up on the kanji is too relatable for me

"I'll go inside to eat" is PowerTop

32:38 there's actually a Colonel Sanders dating game!!! Its called "I love you, Colonel Sanders" !!!

The Showbiz Pizza Bear being famous for, of course, his association with ultra-star celebrity Rich "Dick the Birthday Boy" Evans.

I love how Jessie comes to the conclusion on why he wouldn’t smash or pass some of these mascots it’s just pure fun.

I had to pause at the Arby's to look up the Arby's Mascot commercials. For YEARS I thought the Arby's logo was of a tall cowboy hat. NO! It's actually the oven mitt! It shows at the end of first Mascot ad, the mitt spins and becomes the logo, showing their connecting shape. 🤯

The Buffalo Wild Wings mascot looks so fucking basic, like someone took it from a high school and put a Buffalo Wild Wings shirt on it.

Showbiz went out of business in the late 90s - early 2000s, that's a childhood nostalgia hit.

Billy Bob the Bear is very real... Was very real. He's unemployed now, so he has time to find you in your dreams.

there was a Showbiz pizza with Billy Bob in Barboursville, WV

Could've done Drive Thru or Drive Bye. Also yes I remember the bear. There was one about 30-40 minutes away from my house. I remember going there a few times for birthday parties. I never liked the animatronics there. They just looked bad.

Every few weeks I need to go on another binge watch of these tier lists, they've become a form of comforting background noise.

“DQ! That’s what I love about TEEEXAAAS!” That really takes me back. 😂

Billy Bob was the mascot for Showbiz Pizza Place in the 80s. In the late 80s they converted all the Showbiz locations to Chuck E. Cheese. Fun fact I live in the DFW area and have an old Chuck E Cheese Animatronic in my living room.

There's an hour of this? Oh this is going to be good.

apparently Buc-ee's is very gun-ho with "protecting" their brand. Sending out lawsuits and cease & desists at a drop of a hat.

I kinda expected that burger in the background to just keep getting sauced the whole ass hour.

Billy Bob is the closest thing I’ve seen in real life to a spring lock animatronic from FNAF

When Jesse said he couldn't find any full-body images of one of the mascots that weren't pr0n, my first guess was the Starbucks Mermaid. Of course, I then remembered that Starbucks isn't fast food, and realised he was probably talking about Wendy's. Still, tho...

We had Showbiz Pizza Palace here when I was a kid, but was later taken over by chucky cheese. and yes he is who Freddy is designed after. the animatronic was the guitarist of a band with a space dog, cheerleader mouse, puppeteer wolf, and so on

Chuckie cheese is the Tim pool of mascots

Amazed that no one mentioned Dick the Birthday Boy when the Showbiz Pizza Bear showed up

Guys, it’s Fast Food Mascot Smash or Pass the Plate. It’s right there.

I only know Showbiz Pizza Bear because of the Dick The Birthday Boy meme about Rich Evans from RedLetterMedia as a kid.

I always thought that Carl's Jr star had real Marshie vibes. "I'm an abomination! And I'm coming to your house after school...!"

In Jessie’s defense my Hispanic parents have been referring to buc-ees as “la ardía”, the spanish word for squirrel, their entire life.

I only know that bear from the "Dick, the Birthday Boy" t-shirt on Red Letter Media, and I could not remember what his name was or what the pizza place was called, but the bear himself was immediately recognizable.

Chuck E. Cheese is just Tony Hawk

14:58 Also that was also Dr Evil’s rocket

Wendy is a real life human person, the mascot os based on the Founders daughter who's still alive

I literally only know of Showbiz Pizza because of Red Letter Media and Rich Evans' "Dick the Birthday Boy" photo.

So with Carl's Jr vs Hardee's, there is a difference in the brands. Hardee's used to focus on breakfast and their fried chicken much more. Meanwhile Carl's Jr focuses more on the burgers. Hardee's is also more or less east coast/southern while Carl's Jr is west coast. The divide is actually pretty close to Texas going north west slightly. Think it was a split in opinions with the family that owns the chains.

Love the Apocalypse Now reference in the AD lmao

Dude! My first interaction with the Noid was legit from the NES game. At the time, I didn't even know he was a mascot of anything, he does seem kinda fun TBH 😇

I think I'm just gonna fast. Smash or fast? FAST!

49:50 it was the outbreak episode of Clerks

Even if the Showbiz Pizza bear let me hit from the back, I'd still know that face was there. Waiting.

Def a good follow up to the cereal mascots. And I know someone down below probably has already said it, but Jason Biggs not Sudekis lol.

"Do you think his splooge tastes like gravy?" RU-vid: Have an advert for Bisto gravy

Did i just hear you call Little Ceasar GREEK?!

They should have watched the video of the whole Showbiz Pizza band playing ‘Love in the Club’ before deciding.

I basically never think of fast food mascots anymore cuz fast food ads and businesses lack personality

Carl's Jr Star does have serial killer vibes but did you notice he has pretty much the same face as the Koolaid Man.

I remember ShowBiz Pizza and I remember Chuck e cheese but I do not remember this mascot

I think I am the only who (as a kid) thought the original Chuck E. Cheese was a Koala.

Questions about an oven mitt I never thought I'd ask...

Personally I think that Arby's Chicken Bacon Swiss is pretty damn good
