Charles Entertainment Cheese
on July 24, 2021 at 12:01 amAha! The earlier mention of “Chuckie Cheese” was a setup to this joke! I’m glad I didn’t, like, correct Sal’s dialogue when I uploaded that page. I should read ahead on these things.
Also here’s that mention of “the other week” I brought up earlier that helps cause so much timeline oops. Marcie is still in recovery from “the other week,” which was before Walky even knew Billie was pregnant, during which time Billie finished her pregnancy and is now walking around looking recovered. Great! It all makes sense, sure!

I just reserved a hotel for January and I’m already having anxiety over the beds ahhhhh thanks for this
Charles Pause Entertainment Cheese
Mechanical Rat Pizza Emporium and Children’s Casino
Apparently in this post-COVID time it is now Pasqually’s Pizza and Wings
Only if you’re ordering through a delivery app, I think. Because who’s going to knowingly order from Chuck E. Cheese?
Even if it’s the same cheap ingredients, if they can drum up some quick sales as “Pasqually’s” then they should go for it. Maybe their pizza isn’t all that bad, and the “seven-year-old’s birthday party” atmosphere drags it down. Apparently their latest revamp (not as Pasqually’s, but Chuck E. Cheese’s) is an attempt to shift more toward “family restaurant with arcade games” than “arcade that sells crappy pizza”. I heard they’re even phasing out the animatronics shows?
I’ve never actually been to a Chuck E. Cheese in my life. (Being Loser McNofriends was only part of the problem…) In Rhode Island, we have children’s birthday parties at bowling alleys. The Big Lebowski was kind of a trip after a lifetime of associating bowling alleys with family entertainment. (A few near me had arcades with prize counters and everything! What do you mean they’re smoky, dirty places for addicts and factory workers to unwind?)
Clearly “the other week” being referred to here is a random, unrelated incident that has nothing to do with the near-death-experience versus Head Alien II.
She had a separate, UNRELATED near-death experience with Head Alien II afterwards.
Yes, he’s dead now. No, this didn’t stop him from showing up. No, we don’t know how, why do you ask?
I mean, even disregarding [SPOILERS] I’m pretty sure it’s been established that he’s a time traveler, hasn’t it? If nothing else there’s time travel going on.
Marcie and Sal’s relationship across verses gives me frigging whiplash.
Marcie in general gives me whiplash. Like, here she’s just some comedy character who just… stands there, never talking because it’s… spoooky or something. She’s basically a prop.
DoA Marcie is an actual flesh-and-blood human being. Even if she’s still not a “main character” per se (she’s not even on the cast page at the moment— Ethan of all people is still there despite not having appeared in eleven months) she’s still a person, with a history.
She’s probably the single most important person in the world to Sal, maybe behind Walky, but her relationship with Sal doesn’t make up the entirety of her character. She has an actual personality now! Mute or no, she communicates more than Walkyverse Marcie ever did.
You’re right, he didn’t show up in the rooftop season finale scene. In retrospect, maybe that was significant.
I vaguely recall hearing that Sal and Jason wind up getting back together after this and I am really finding that hard to believe
This reminds me of a bit from Brooklyn 99.
“Did you check – pump – Charles – Pump – Entertainment Cheese – pump pump?”
“Jason, do you know what a week is?”
“What? Of course I do!”
“Ah don’t think ya do.”
“A British week, which is an American several months.”
“Okay, ya know that makes literally no sense.”
“Which of us is British?”
“Ugh, fine.”
In the Britjaverse, a month is seven days, and a week is four months. Jason is technically a native of the mainline Walkyverse, but he was raised in Britja culture. One of these days, someone is going to explain the difference to him, and many things are suddenly going to make sense to him that didn’t before.
I know I went to Chuck E Cheese when I was a little kid, but I don’t remember much about it, except that we didn’t go there very often and my dad thought the pizza tasted like cardboard.
Don’t be ridiculous, Jason. It’s pronounced with no pauses at all: “Chuckycheese.” The spaces are silent.
Look. It doesn’t matter if it was eight days or eight years ago, so long as it’s not this week, then it’s viable as ‘the other week.’
