Funny video. I endured more than my fair share of Chuck E. Cheese when my kids were small. Always a total madhouse with a zillion kids running around totally out of control, wired up on pitchers of soda and the most awful food ever...it is like they took a stale giant tortilla, smothered a can of tomato paste over it, topped it with shredded government issue American cheese and called it a pizza.

My kids would be there for 2-3 hours and they'd never have enough tokens to play all the cheesy games. At the end of the night, they'd have about 300 tickets a piece that they would cash in at the gift stand for some chintzy toy that invariably broke in the car before you even got home.

I'd always have a splitting headache coming out of that place. Either from the noise level or the really nasty watered down beer that they'd serve to the parents there just to keep them sane (usually Miller Lite was all they had).

One of my happiest days as a parent was when the kids finally stopped asking to be taken there. (Around the 6th grade, it evidently starts to be uncool to be seen going there.)
