I did not like your comment about president Putin, he is not the bad person that the US portrays, on the contrary, he is a true leader, dedicated and competent via his strong character. Don't buy into thr negative propaganda directed at president Putin, give him respect. Now if you want to talk about something, talk about how the US supported Hitler in world war II and only turned on him when they could not help him defeat the Russian. Talk about that
4:24 Kangaroo steak?! ok, sometimes I forgot you're australian.
Hooters. Instead of desexualize women, LET'S SEXUALIZE MEN TOO! That be gender equality *laughs in bisexual*
Chuck E. Choose. what businesses have games, food, and performers? a casino!
28:00 That sounds like a dialogue that could be in an horror movie. Someone should make an horror movie about Heart Attak Grill; the twist is that their meat is human meat, like Sweeny Todd, but it's only the restaurant, I would watch that
PhantomStrider: If you love yourself, don't eat at Heart Attack Grill
My Brother-In-Law's Groomsmen Party: LET'S DO IT (and get spanked because we need to stay in shape for the wedding :p)
While in Evansville, IN our Hooters still hadn’t made the change over Hoots, yet I think it is still open.
literally nobody cares about the whole chic-fil-a thing for some reason
its hella overrated, too. the chicken tastes like popcorn chicken from a school cafeteria
Chick fil a is still going on too
the disdain in your voice when talking about chick-fil-a was so satisfying honestly. i have a difficult relationship with CFA because i'm autistic and it used to be my "safe" food when out and about, but i'm also….well, gay. and you can see the problem there haha
loving all the interesting food videos lately!
Bacon doesn’t even sound like a real word to me anymore after hearing the bacon bacon menu
The "Bacon-Bacon" bit sounds somewhat like Monty Pythons' old "SPAM" skit. 😄
I have only been to Hooters once, years ago. It was okay, but not worth the drive across town in heavy traffic.
The business around food doesn't have it…..but model culture hasn't changed in the US …..what has changed is the virtue signaling around these ideas.
Victoria secret is a prime example of a company that had the wrong business to go woke and are loosing money
Planet Hollywood was never a cultural icon in the US
You gotta love presidential pardons ……Clinton pardoned his brother of drug charges (not the brothers first rodeo)
It's illegal to take the tips in the US
I could tell you all kinds of restaurants and businesses involved in human trafficking……very common in Seattle area
19:35 I can't speak to any other Chuck E Cheese location, but the one near me–North Charleston AC–NEEDS to be shuttered by either the corporation or local law enforcement. The local police are often called out to this location to break up fights between "adults" who are either there with their kids or just because they're nut jobs who think it's a cool hangout.
Chuck e cheese was so great in the early 80s
Obamas healthy food act was as big a help to anyone as the rest of what he did ….. absolutely nothing……he didn't manage to fuck over the veterans administration hospitals tho
Maybe the reason why Hooters is on a decline is because they didn't make Femboy Hooters a thing.
I love chick fil a for what they stand for!
Funny thing for me is that all the ladies named Karen I've ever met are incredibly nice.
I actively avoid Chik-Fil-A, due to its contributions towards Anti-LGBT organizations. However, I tried their Chicken Sandiwches one time. I was not impressed with their sandwiches, because I had Popeye Chicken Sandwiches, which are bigger, crunchier, and taste better overall. Now, I not only avoid Chik-Fil-A, but I also have no reason to go there, due to better selections in other places.
The reason Hooters has more or less fell out of favor is for roughly the same reason that 'boobtubers' aren't really a thing anymore (which ironically also helped reduce Hooters's prominance):
Google and easy access to porn.
See, back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, it was one of the few ways for horny, sexually repressed 20-60 year olds to get their tit fix, short of shady stripclubs and other oftentimes illegal shit.
Nowadays, people can just type 'boobs' into google and get basically what hooters offers for free without the awkward social interactions. Yeah, you don't get the chicken wings, but it's not like they have a monopoly on that.
Amy's is definitely what happens when Karens are in charge of the restaurant 😅
Yeah if I go to the heart attack grill I’m probably gonna eat a small burger because yeah because I’m scared of death itself just a normal burger
Why was Chuck E Cheese so high on the list? It didn't have any controversy, just a culmination of bad luck. After hearing about human trafficking and extortion, a child friendly restaurant dying from a change in culture and COVID-19 lockdown feels insignificant.
….I..can't believe Heart Attack Grill is a real place….wtf…that's disrespectful to the dead!? o_O
Karen’s Dinner sounds like the Grouch Dinner from the Follow That Bird movie…
Another aspect of Chuck-E-Cheese’s bankruptcy you skipped over is a ‘secret rebranding’. I don’t know all the details, but they created a sort of pseudonym called “Pasqually’s Pizza and Wings” for several delivery apps in order to get more adults to order their pizza. But when people found out about the deception, it was a massive blow to the company’s credibility. There was also the whole ‘Frankenstein pizza’ rumors, where people were concerned when their pizzas looked like some slices were from different pizzas. Again, I don’t have all the details, but Food Theory explained them pretty well in their episode on the company.
When I want a "Chicken Sandwich", I tend to think more of KFC (who don't have any controversies, as far as I know.)
And, as a fan of FNAF. I would've loved to see surviving Animatronics at a Chuck-E-Cheese (I have fond memories of that place as a kid in the 90s.)
I liked Chi Chi's
That last one is literally banking off of the deaths of people.
wait toysrus is closed? it's still open in Saudi arabia
There’s an older guy named Ken who works at my Meijer as a greeter, and let me tell ya, he’s the opposite of a Karen.
The pizza guy was DONALD TRUMP! Well kids that’s a fact
Chick fil a deserves a medal🏅
Like, eat what you want I guess, but if you bring your KIDS to a restaurant that takes pride in keeping their customers unhealthy and literally causing heart attacks then you are a terrible parent.
So, if a Christian believes that homosexual activity will be judged and send someone to hell for eternity, then I would argue it IS LOVING to support organizations that look to change people's ideas on the matter?
True gay conversion therapy is a terrible practice that I would compare to the Spanish Inquisition. You don't change a person's heart by punishment. You do that through love
For the Karen's restaurant, why would you bring your children?
Karen can come in all colors! Not just white.🤣😂😂
This man's voice is kinda annoying
I think a Chuck E. Cheese is still open close to where I am
Surprised Cheeky Monkey in Byron Bay NSW never got shut down.
A restaurant/nightclub, people dance on the tables that, hours before, people are food on.
As a Hospitality veteran, that makes me feel ill!
Hi. I just thought I, as a Christian, needed to put in my two cents on the whole Chick-fil-a thing. Now while I can't speak for the intentions of the CEO or whatever, I will say that there needs to be an understanding that disagreement does not equate to hate. Now, do I think an LGBT+ lifestyle is right? honestly I have to go with Jesus here and say no. Do I hate LGBT+ people and think that their families should disown them and that they should be forced into harmful conversion therapy, or beaten or killed? absolutely not! such isn't Christ-like.
Jesus tells his followers to love everyone as He loves them, Jesus ate with sinners and allowed them to come as they were, but He also loved them enough to tell them what they were doing was hurting them even if there was a chance they didn't like what He said. I am well aware that some people who claim to be Christians really are hateful, but I still love LGBT+ people even though I don't agree with what they are doing and, while yes I do want them to accept Christ, in the end its everyone's choice whether or not accept Him and if someone doesn't I can respect that, but I shouldn't be forced to enable it. If that makes sense.
I genuinely hope that this doesn't come across as offensive. I've tried to put it as sensitive as I can. If you don't agree with what I say, I understand and I respect your decision.
To anyone reading this: If I did say something offensive then I'd ask that we have a reasonable discussion about it rather than hurling insults.
Leaving a link to something that might offer some better understanding if what I've said here doesn't make sense. It's a Christian talking with an atheist about the whole "Christians hate gay people" thing. In the end whether anyone sees it or skips it, I hope you have a great day and know that you are loved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CySXJNUukw
