He's cuffed and wearing the head? I mean, they had to take the head off to confirm that they were arresting the right guy, right? Did they make him put it back on? Please say he kept it on for the bail hearing.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

They kept the head on for the sake of the children, you need to preserve the illusion!

Also the amount of children that will be scarred by this experience seeing Chucky taken away like that. The one kid having his birthday party that day will never forget.

'Where kids can be kids' above bunch of kids watching Chuck getting arrested 🤣🤣🤣

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, if you want to introduce kids to the horrors of the adult world, take them to Chuck E. Cheese. Drunk adults, fights, grime, unsafe food, and capitalism. Run around, Billy. Have fun.

The only way it could get more realistic is if they got raped randomly, and then everyone laughed and never believed them.

How many game tickets did he turn in to get a Stolen Credit Card? /s

It took so many fucking tickets to get my bike back

I heard from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend who heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard you need 15,000 tickets.

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

ChatGPT said this about cost estimate for 15,000 tickets:

•	Minimum likely cost: **~ $150** if every game averages 100 tickets/dollar.
•	Typical/realistic range: $450 to $1,500, depending on skill, efficiency, and promotions.
•	High-end estimate: Up to $3,000 if games are expensive or low reward per point.

Oh how useful.

"The officers read the mouse his Miranda warnings before he insisted he never stole anyone’s credit, police said.

“I don’t got no card on me, I don’t use nobody’s cards but my own,” Jones said, according to Cruz’s arrest report."

When the cops aren't telling you why you're being arrested and you start spouting off about stolen credit cards while they're reading your rights, STFU!

(Didn't help that he had the card and purchase receipt in his pocket).

Times are tough when even the rats resort to identity theft.

Traumatize those kids, give them nightmares and years of therapy. Good job, Chuck E. man.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Lol iirc didnt chuck-e-cheese go bankrupt? If that's the case then kids these days have no clue who Chuck is. I tried singing the toys r us theme song to my 4 year old niece and she was fuckin clueless. She thought I was making it up that there used to be a walmart sized store that sold nothing but toys lol

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

There are Chuck E Cheeses still operating. I've seen them in several states.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago

There was a really interesting podcast about the downfall of either this or Showbiz Pizza. I can't recall which, but it was pretty interesting. Sorry, I was listening to so many podcasts during the pan (I was single and had a lot of time to fill) that I can't tell you where to find it.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

Honestly saw the start, and honestly I imagine similar events. Somehow I'm predicting ice to deport an american citizen in a speedy gonzolas costume soon.
