DO YOU SMILE WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE CEC COSTUME?

[TreyTX]

I remember one day when I was a kid working at ShowBiz I noticed everytime I was about to take a picture with people (me being insice the CEC costume) and they would say "cheese" or something I had a big smile on my face (behing the CEC head) like I was actually taking the picture of myslef with friends...this was not on purpose just a natural responce...does anyone else do this?

[CEC3066]

oh yes.
unrelated to the thread Trey check your inbox here on the board I left a message there for you

I certainly always did, also when I was Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, RTR, Tenderheart Bear, Scooby Doo...

I do it so habitually....I do it all the time! I've caught myself doing it lately, and then laughing at myself afterward, thinking, "Duh, they can't even see your smile! Chuck is already smiling!"

[pizzacam]

My constant thought was, "GOD I CAN'T SEE A THING WITH ALL THIS DAMN SWEAT IN MY EYES!!" I tried it all too head bans, t-shirts, even a do-rag! I just used to be soaking wet getting out of the costume after only being in it for like 10 mins! Haha So, that's how I got out of doing it eventually! I told my GM ok I'll do it but I'm gonna be all sweaty running pizzas after...not to mention a 6ft 2in Chuck was kinda intimidating to kids. :lol

YES I DO THAT EVERYTIME!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! Lol when I did chucke for my litel brothers birthday party 9My granparents have a suit) It was at in indoor pool and It was so humid!! It was tiring and anoying because the kids were screeming to "throw chucke in" and then "Its not chucke".:\ I had to wear a headband to keep my hair out of my eyes cuz if I don't i lift up the head and fix it on habit.
btw heres a pic

The costume is a tuxido suit but we took of the hat and put on this one and changed the shirt to a cec hokey jursey I found on ebay along time ago (unofficial).

That hockey jersey actually is a licensed item and was available from fine incentives, I'm not sure exactly when, but a couple years ago my gm asked them about discontinued items, and they still had a couple of those in stock

[ChuckEZone]

lol! I don't think I could ever bring myself to smile.. even if it's a fun performance, it's hard work. It's more like "hurry up and take your picture so I can leave"

Like Gabe, I also had a collection of headbands and a du-rag.. they see me when I get out and they're like "are you alright!?" cause I'm all sweaty and my face is red :lol Oh well, haha.. can't have a good performance if you don't put effort into it.

[ChuckEZone]

Also.. for those who used a headband or whatever, did it ever get pushed down over your eyes? I hate when that would happen, lol

[CEC743]

This sounds kind of weird but whenever I am in the costume I close my eyes. I guess it's so no one can "see" me or something.

[chucki233]

what was the jursey for?

[sungun12]

back in the day when i used to do it all the time, i caught myself smiling, and then i started making wierd faces cause, i dont know, i guess im just a retard. it amused me.

havent been in that suit in a long time - i do it every once in a while just to show the cm what a REAL chuck e is.

this one kid in bridgeville could do cartwheels in the suit - now that was impressive

[ChuckEFranchize454]

oh ya everytime i take a pic a always smile!!!! lol i cant help it

[No Slugs Back]

Not anymore.

I remembeer one time my brother went to take some video of what we thought was still the Cedar Rapids IA ShowBiz but had since become a CEC. anyways on the tape there was footage of the walkaround Chuck doing not a single not even a Double but a TRIPPLE cartwheel at the end of "Dance To The Music". DON'T ask to see this video,I haven't seen it in years myself and have NO clue where it is.
