My computer speakers are broken so I couldn't hear the audio, but that video was actually super-cute. You could tell the performer was really into dancing with the kids, doing the electric slide and all. It's not his fault the costume head fell off and I hope he didn't suffer any repercussions for it.

Confession time; I'm a lifelong CEC nerd and I totally fangirl the place. 2012 pic: http://fnafseeyouontheflipside.tumblr.com/post/143430344206/redneckamericanprincess-so-we-took-the-kiddos

Child: HIS HEAD FELL OFF!

Dumb Tween: HE'S BEEN DECAPITED!

That one idiot father: HE ATE A PERSON!

Idiot father's wife: ...you idiots...

Everyone else: *barfs*

Man in suit: IM SO FIRED!

The reason why everyone barfed is because they smelled the inside of the suit :3

The nearest Chuck E Cheese in my region is 15 minutes away... Should I be concern?

[Doctor Script]

Hey, now... I used to work at a Chuck E Cheeses back in high school. I agree that the food is the best part, but the games are usually top notch and a lot of kids really enjoy the animatronics. I know the uncanny valley is strong with them, trust me, but they still sing and kids still watch. Its usually the older (12-16) teens that cause a ruckus and even then, that's rare. Most teens are just playing arcade games and don't mind the animatronics at all.

The guy in the video probably Didn't get fired, but he was probably told to wear the chin strap next time. It's not unusual for kids to try to take the head off in the first place. Kids aren't really fooled by the costume; If they are, they're usually too scared to get close enough to look.

Sometimes parents are a bit of a problem. I had a couple who were egging their son to punch me while I was dancing for a birthday party. Kid had a hell of a left hook and nearly knocked the wind right out of me, but the other kids told him off like a posse of lil' bosses. My General Manager was not happy with the parents at that point, but we didn't do anything malicious about it. Stern talk, we will call police in the event of a physical assault and remind them we do have audio recording with our CCTV system.

CEC was one of the best jobs I had as teen. The place is great. Honestly, kids get more done there then the staff needs to. They'll let you know when the games aren't working as intended, when someone is causing problems, if there are any... 'issues' in the sky tubes, etc. Just keeping it all operating on an even keel is pretty easy and fun.

There's a Chuck E Cheese in my town and it's about 15 minutes away from me.

Doctor Script! (Sorry, quotes aren't working on my PC.) Agreed, I doubt too many kids would be traumatized by seeing Chuck's head come off. They already know it's a costume because the facial fixtures are frozen in place and there's usually some type of mesh over the eyes or mouth to let the actor see. (I was that weird kid who was fascinated by costumed characters and how they worked. Like, I'd be sitting on the character's lap asking how well the guy inside could see through those tiny little eyeholes in the mask, and most of the time he'd just stay in character and shrug.)

I don't get why some parents actually encourage their kids to "sock the mascot." My pal in college was the school's basketball mascot and she got roughed up and tossed down a set of bleacher steps during a game, all in the name of fun. She broke several ribs, and the aggressors were college kids, i.e. grown adults. :/ I have another pal who's a fursuiter and has had to deal with parents who egg their kids on to "fight him." Er...no, that's a costume that probably cost several hundred or thousand bucks, and why would you encourage your kid to hurt an animal, fictional or not?

That's at least cool that the other kids recognized his actions were wrong and called him on it. As a former mascot performer myself (4-H fairs) I'm glad nobody ever smacked me. :/

And yeah, kids are pretty awesome overall if their parents guide them right. During the summer I worked at the local amusement park I often oversaw the ball pit and kids would bring me split plastic balls they found in the pit, saying they were worried "another kid might get cut on this." That's altruism at its best. <3
