New "Token Savers" Flash Animation

[ChuckEZone]

On a routine visit to the official website, www.chuckecheese.com , I came across something that I wish I could "un-see"... it's that bad. :x

That voice is horrendous! I'm glad they incorporated the character costume (used the OLD head?!?) but really... what's the deal?:\

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
THATS SO HILARIOUS. In an 'omg no' kind of way.
Like I told you on AIM...that's one of the saddest things ever. Note how Chuck E. comes on screen, does a little dance, and then slinks off screen miserably.
And the voice...why couldn't they have just gotten Duncan?

[ChuckEZone]

I just sent in my feedback. Hopefully, I'll hear from them soon.

Note to Marketing Dept: That is the most STUPIDIDIST add I have seen you come up w/. Grade: F+

[Harmony Howlette rules]

Stupididist?

[CEC3066]

yeah it's terrible. they could have done better.

[Harmony Howlette rules]

StupidEST.

[ChuckEZone]

Note how Chuck E. comes on screen, does a little dance, and then slinks off screen miserably.


Oh yes, I forgot to mention the (to say the least) lame character actor... I can't believe this is what they're actually using to promote the company with. All that hard work... *flush* :(

[CEC3066]

whoops my bad thanks for correcting me Harmony

Haha... I noticed this a few weeks back and emailed the company the following:

On the token savers page, it says (in audio) that for each token
deal you get the amount of that deal in \"savings.\" If you buy $20 in
tokens, which is 80 tokens, you get 25 free. You're actually saving $6.25
by getting the equivalant 25 tokens free, NOT receiving $20 in savings. It
is confusing to our Guests to have misleading information on the website.
Also, the voice is clearly not Chuck E.'s.


They, of course, only replied with:

We apologize for the inconvenience,Each location offers "Token Savers" that
provide special pricing for tokens purchased individually and are a great
value! The tokens may be purchased
upon arrival in the following increments:

Tokens are 4 for $1.00
Buy 40 Tokens, Get 10 Free for $10.00 (Total of 50 Tokens) SAVE $2.50
Buy 80 Tokens, Get 25 Free for $20.00 (Total of 105 Tokens) SAVE $6.25
Buy 120 Tokens, Get 40 Free for $30.00 (Total of 160 Tokens) SAVE $10

I watched it and don't think the voiceover was ever ment to be Chuck E. talking in the first place.

Go back and view it again ( if you can stand it)....seriously, it was never ment to be Chuck talking!

[Harmony Howlette rules]

Yeah it was...check out the laugh, Jenn! Totally Chuck-esque.

[pizzacam]

yeah

[Shiney Happy Jenn]

Sorry guys...it's not there to my ears.

It seems to be just a regualr voice over to me...a very dippy one at that...not a CEC impersonation.

I'm sure if they wanted to use a "real CEC" voice the could have easily added a speil by Duncan. They surely exsist...

[pizzacam]

That is if Duncan's still the voice... ;)

[Harmony Howlette rules]

Oh no.

[Harmony Howlette rules]

NONONONO
Spill, Gabe.
Spill now.

[ChuckEZone]

I seriously hope that you're just f'n around... if so- cruel joke man, lol.


I also never recieved a reply from the company about that flash animation.

[PuroMax]

It's CEC News correspondant Wick Laderbach (As if his name is important) doing the voice, methinks

[CEC3066]

oh for cryin out loud, that's ter-didley-errible

[Harmony Howlette rules]

What? That's not Wick. Sounds nothing like him.

[Shiney Happy Jenn]

Relax gang....

Duncan will be CEC's voice for enternity. :)

[ChuckEZone]

Well, it's been 2 weeks and I still haven't recieved a reply. I kind of expected this to happen... >D
