Dolli Dimples...One Hot Mamma! [Archive]

Time we had another fun jaunt with one of everyones favorite classic Pizza Time Players....

Yep, i'm talking about Dolli Dimples, that hip- hippo with the huge hips ( among other things...!). Yessiree, Dolli is one big mamma and she rocks.

How can you not love Dolli...she is THE original Caberet Show Character from WAY back in 1978. She started life as a rubbery masked mostrousity and evolved into the grand gal we all knew and loved in the very early 80's. Dolli was fab...she sang some great songs and had a very sexy persona about her. Her sultry voice and fluttering eyelashes drove every male animal within a 50 mile radius absolutely insane....to put it mildly! Ah yes...these were the days before a thing called "political correctness" came into being....and ended up ruining some great things, Dolli being one of them. But we still rememeber her....the grand gal that she was.

Sure she had 12 husbands and flirted like a disco chick. Sure she kind of had this tiny hint of adult humor in her show material...but so did all of the best PTT showtapes! Classic Rat and the gang had plenty to mouth off about in the late 70's....but by the mid-80's their tougne's became a wee bit tied. Now you rarely hear their opinions on anything.

But enough about that...let's get back to the positive....to Dolli!

Dolli was a great Cab Act from the early PTT era. She played at a dark, smoky piano bar at many Pizza Time Theatres from 1978 to 1983/4. She was the Gran Dame of the Piano and played it remarkably well for a 400 pound hippo. A fabulous entertainer, she would do rotating shows daily non-stop to the delight of millions around the country. In this era, Dolli was Queen as far as merchandise and press exposure goes...no other female PTPlayer at that time was featured as much as Dolli. I always found this odd, as both Harmony Howlette and Madame Oink had a lot going for them and had a lot of potential to be mass marketed into merch and such. They did appear in various printed items...flyers, signage, and more noticable the calandars issued in 1982 and 83'. Dolli seemed to be the lead girl on all merch then...everything from Chuck E. Cubes, plastic rings, pin buttons, coloring books, PTT Valentine sets...you name it. She was almost always there with Chuck E and the original gang. Too bad they did'nt go to the next step and do a plush doll of her. Wow, that would have been great!!!

So let's dedicate this thread to Dolli Dimples...the glamorous 400 pound hippo who " tickles your fancy as well as the piano keys" as it says in her bio!

Post all your interesting Dolli facts, stories, experiences here....and let's all share the love!!

You forgot to mention that they included a cylinder that made her boobs bounce up and down.

I thought that was a joke until I sat and actually watched various video footage of her performing. Another neat little tidbit ruined by 'correctness'.

How about this consideration for Concept Unification. The Billy Bob Mech should have become Mr. Munch and Fatz would have made a PERFECT Dimples. Oh, well.. in my would it would have happened. Apparently there is only room for one "Chick" in Pizza Land.

Mmm So it wouldn't be Munch's Make Believe Band... What would it be? Dolli Dimples Dream Street Orchestra?

Funny Mike, I thought about doing that with a Fatz robot. I agree totally tho. That would have been awesome for them to use Dolli in the MMBB. I could see Munch playing guitar or bass... If that happened tho, Munch should have gotten Beach Bear's guitar and I think the Beach Bear mech should have had Billy Bob's during CU. The real reason no other characters were added tho is because the 2 stage computers couldn't handle another character not to mention a Dolli frame would have had to have been added. Pizzacam, moon, building and Munch Jr. worked for the 3 stage because they don't have seperate speaking parts and are merely backing vocals during songs. This is why the Billy Bob mech was not utilized.

Anyway, most ppl on this board never experienced Dolli so they don't really appreciate her as a character. She's one of my top 3 favorites of all time. I think Jenn is the only other one on here that really was fortunate enough to see Dolli D. and appreciate her from back in the day. I'm not knocking anyone on here, but so many people defend how great CEC today is but those ppl never got to see what the place was during the golden years before they merged with Showbiz. Dolli was one of the greatest things ever for Pizza Time Theatre. I think restaurants that had some other caberet instead of Dolli really didn't have the magic of locations that did have her. Don't get me wrong, I loved King and still do but he just wasn't the same as Dolli. You gotta love the only known animatronic character that was not only married but married twelve times and still hasn't given up on men or romance!

One other intersting fact is Dolli reveals her full name. She has like 5 middle names all starting with D. I will have to listen to that reel again and write out her full name.

Though no longer in CEC shows, Dolli Dimples' last print appearance can be found inside the "WIZARD OF CHEEZ" lettering in the circa 1988 CEC Parody Movie Poster "The Wizard of Cheez".

Were there any plans for a plush doll (or PVC figure) of Dolli Dimples but one was never made?

Shiney Happy Jenn

02-17-2005, 08:24 PM

I don't think anyone would know for sure, but it is odd that only 3 pvc's were made and none of them were female Players! Dolli was on a LOT of merch back then..it was great. She could have easily been made into a plush...i'm surprised they did'nt bother as she was on so much stuff back then. Dolli was THE "lead" female charcacter then. Think of her as what Helen is today...the "lead", most exposed, girl character.

Nice comments by the Captain...you hit the mark with that post Mike! Yes, i spent many a hour watching Dolli Dimples when i lived in Fl. The Brandon CEC was my second home then and i was obsessed and totally engrossed in everything, exspecially the Cyberamics themsleves. I was totally engrossed in them..i wanted to know everything about them and learn exactly how they worked. I was 10 at the time, and luck granted me a chance one day when i visited and the Tech in Brandon was working on Dolli in the Caberet. I watched his every move. He did'nt take her apart before me, which was strichly forbidden during opening hours, but he DID let me see the Cyber Computer System in Dolli's little secret control room. It was like finding the Holy Grail for me that day...i was in utter awe. I clearly remember watching the reels go around and the flickering red dots of light ( drive card signal LEDS) that glimmered from behind the machines black tinted glass. I was at that time heavily fasinated with tape machines so you could well imagine my delight in learning she ran off a tape! It was very cool, and i will always remember that experience there.

Veganova makes a great point.....Dolli was indeed quite a lush gal and flauted what her momma gave her! I saw her in action and she was awesome to behold. Folks rave on about the King, but for me Classic Cab acts are Dolli and Artie Antlers. They ROCKED. They has such personality, appeal, and dare i say it, TALENT. Listening to the showtapes now you may not get that impression, but if you saw the characters ACTUALLY performing on site, in that dark smoky theatre setting, with hot spotlights and the surrounding atmosphere, those who missed these gems may well think differently. Dolli was one of a kind, and she is sorely missed by us long time Pizza Timers.

I see her just about every day so I don't miss her much! I'd love to hear what Artie was like. I never knew of his existance til I found this board and sadly I never saw him. I hear Jungle Jim has an Artie in storage that they aren't using...

Captain, i think we need to contact this guy and make a serious offer! This sounds like yet another chance to save another piece of the fast fading Pizza Time Past!

I have a cassette i made back in 1982 that features two Artie shows i recorded on location. As far as i know, it's the only known audio sample that exsists as no reels have come forward as of yet featuring Artie. I sent a sample of this in to Veganova a while back for inclusion in the PTPlayers sound clip section but it has not been added just yet. When it is, i think you will be a happy man!!

Artie reels are well worth searching out. Artie and Dolli honestly had the best Caberet acts..they were like real performers and had a LOT of personality. Anyone who has any of these rare reels please get in touch with us!!

We NEED to rescue Artie!! You will just have to built a make-shift extension off of your extention to fit him in the collection, that's all. No biggie....!!

I have so much of this stuff and more just keeps popping up! Weren't you complaining about CEC clutter at your place? And you are talking little gift shop items... the stuff I collect takes up a lot more room...

VegaNova

02-19-2005, 02:54 PM

Ah yes... the to-do list.... it keeps getting longer.

I do have those Artie recordings and I just need to encode them and post them. Actually I need to re-do all those character pages since much of the information is outdated with what's turned up over the past few years. I have plans for expanding the character section but it's going to be awhile.

Yes we should band together and save that supposed Artie... with force and maybe a crowbar if need be.

Back to Dolli, I never did see her (outside of video) but I have listened to her showtapes. I can say this much. Her tapes are far better than the PTT stage tapes. I know there's some PTT fans here that'll kill me for saying this, but the old showtapes are absolutely terrible... production-wise, vocal wise, and humor wise. So bad that I have trouble listening to them... even to write down what songs are in each skit. Honestly the only thing I can really appreciate is the fact that the old characters had spunk. Listening to Chuck E act like an ass to the other characters is fun.

BUT I will say that I do enjoy listening to Dolli's tapes. She can actually sing and her comments seem genuinely funny. I bet most of them went over kids' heads, but she's a hoot to listen to. I've listened to Dolli I and II several times, where as I don't even know if I've made it all the way through some of the regular PTT tapes.

Vega my friend, no need to fear retaliation or death-threats regarding your opinion on the original early PTT Stage Show Reels. I actually agree that they were poor, but what makes them golden is the personal memories associated with them and of course the intense nostalgia factor. I still like to hear Classic Rat..he was a hoot and the off color comments really date these efforts. But hey, it was a different world then! I agree that many of the oldest PTT recordings are not that fab. Things improved greatly by the mid-80's i think...during the Rocker Stage era exspecially. Naturally they can't compare to today's modern recorded Showtapes but those old shows have a lot of charcter and spirit in their own right..

Captian, i know EXACTLY what stuff you are taling about. I too have a HUGE load of such items and they do take up a insane amount of space. This Summer i hope to reorganize it all as it is definately getting crazy! The gift shop merch is only about 40% of my collection...most of the rest are things you don't normally come by. I'm sure you know what i mean.....heh heh!

I just discovered one more thing about the original voice of Dolli Dimples: In 1976 (1 year before the launch of CECPTT in San Jose, California and 2 years before the first Dolli Dimples CECPTT show) the voice for Dolli Dimples was a music performer for a show at Santa Clara, California's Marriott's Great America theme park.

I was lucky enough to see her live and in person at Newington NH.... Boy she was very ... um... adult, and I couldnt figure out why she was at a kids place(Yes I know now, but Im talking back then!) I still liked her as she was a "bot" but still, bouncing , um, how do I say this nicely? Well lets just say she was a knock out, and she could have knocked you out if you got hit by those things!

08-25-2005, 12:53 PM

Wait, I have a question about the Dolli mech., did she really flutter her eyes really fast an smile? Becasue if she did, wouldn't this mean that Artie would do the same thing since he was the same mech., or did they have totally different programming?

pizzacam

08-25-2005, 04:15 PM

Yeah, you can program a character to do whatever it's mechanics will allow :)

captslappy

08-31-2005, 09:51 AM

Dolli and the guest characters in the balcony all did the eye lid flutter. All they did was program the eyes to open and close rapidly. Any cyberamic bot is capable of it but it doesn't make since for Chuck, Munch, King, etc to flutter their eyes. That's a girly thing. As for Artie and Dolli (and B.B.), they were the exact same frame. The breast movement was removed on Artie obviously and on B.B., the breast movement was probably used for the trunk to swing side to side. King's foot tape uses the same movement number also although he used a different eprom chip in his computer. Dolli could play all of Arties skits and Artie could do all of Dolli's (and B.B.'s). King could would also work if he was running off a Dolli/artie/B.B. computer and vice versa. King had the hip swivel and none of the other lounge and cab acts had this movement (it was unused on their valve banks). So mechanically the 3 piano players and King were virtually identical. King just used a different chip in his computer (which was the same as the Beagles and Bowzers).

Here is something I got to thinking about with Dolli, Artie and BB. Why did they build them the way that they did with the swing arm levers? I'm very surprised they didn't build them like the MMBB version of Mr. Munch whose design was borrowed from the Fatz robot. It would have worked so much better.

dheineCECfan

01-23-2006, 05:13 PM

But Dolli, Artie, and Bubbles were built so they can play the piano!

captslappy

01-23-2006, 05:50 PM

Yes and so is Munch. Organ and piano are the same idea. You'd have to see how the arms were done on Dolli and Artie and BB to really understand what I mean. It was just really not that good a design but it served its purpose. The only thought I have is since you saw them up close the swing lever design gave the hands a bit more motion and made them a little more interesting instead of just going up and down. Come to think of it, from the angle you watch the caberets from that is probably why they did it the way they did.

Shiney Happy Jenn

01-24-2006, 09:56 PM

That is exactly why Captain. Spot on!

The hand motions fit better in that set up. It always bothered me to no end how lame Munch looks these days literally pounding on his keyboard. At least with the Caberet Bots', they made some attempt to create a fluid looking movement like the way a real piano player would look.

captslappy

05-18-2006, 11:38 AM

Munch's hands are necassary since he's designed to be viewed a distance and Dolli was made to be up close. I see now why they were both done the way they were. The 3 stage Munch/Fatz is more interesting than both as he can go up and down like 2 stage munch and side to side like Dolli. By combining these 2 motions it makes the action look really believable so ultimately Fatz is the best but then the RAE is superior anyway as they have many more movements. Dolli's hand motions do look quite believable however. I thought it was a pretty silly design but now I see how good it truly is.

Shiney Happy Jenn

05-25-2006, 10:35 PM

Great to hear that Captain.

So many people tend to blow off the classic Cyberamics as they feel they are "limited" and "crude" as far as movements go. Not so when you get to see them in action with their original showtapes. The enviroment helped tremendously too...seeing Dolli play under a 100 watt lightbulb in a basement is not going to give you the same impression as seeing her perform in a smokey, low-lit, theatre enviroment. She had very quick realistic moves in her day. The Cyberamic figures at CEC's today are basically the same style of Bot' but are no ways near as well programmed as they once were.

Now i'm not slating today's prgrammer, or yesterdays' programmers...but you have to admit that post late-90's work has cut out almost HALF the motions these figures are capable of. The "eye flutter" motion is a perfect example. It's simply not known to anyone younger then 25 it seems! The last clever animation i saw that resembled anything like it did in PTT days was the animation done for the segments featured on "The Best Of CEC Tv 93". So many suttle motions you would never expect to see were there..half-motions were there ( air regulation joys!!)...a excellent example was Helen's eye lids would close half way so she appeared to have different expressions. Unheard of in today's show programming.

Part ot the problem is the fact a REAL Cyberstage is not being animated directly. We all know it's a 3 Stage that is animated and then the signals are coverted. This is a shame really, as we lost all the fantastic motions and suttle expression that COULD be done with these Bots'. I dare everyone reading this to watch your old PTT video footage of shows back then, and then compare them to a modern day show footage video. There is a HUGE difference and you should be able to spot it.

All shows up to the mid 90's were PACKED with animation on the Bot's. They were constantly moving!! Non stop!! It was awesome...and the CyberBot's were programmed like this until the late 90's. Then things changed as the less focus was put on the show at CEC. Costs became the priority, so movements were cut down or slowed to help keep parts from wearing out quicker. This in turn led to LESS signals being sent to the frames and weaker PSI's being used....thus we have a "slow" show. Most locations with remaining MMBB Stages suffer this fate...it's a rare one that is still set at the older settings. Thank the Gods my local store still does, though it has been slipping sadly in that "slow" direction.

Dolli was awesome in action.....and i really wish today's newer fans who missed her back in the day could experience that.

Well hey..i guess they will if they come to CheeseVention 3...right Captain?? :p

If you think about it, how do they do Jasper's eyes? The 3 stage bot has an eye cross which takes one movement while looking right and left takes 2. So basically that eye cross is either eyes right or eyes left on the cyber mech so for all practical purposes it sound like Jasper can now only look one way with his eyes since they dont really have a way to program his eyes going the other way. That brings him down to 7 movements right there.

Shiney Happy Jenn

05-31-2006, 09:18 PM

I don't recall the full details, but last i knew since the Cyberstage was removed from the CECE Studio they have animated with the 3 stage only for all C Stages ( thats 1,2 ande 3 Stages), Studio C is of course an entirely different animal, so this is animated seperatly on it's own system.

See, the problem is not nessesarily with HOW the programming is being animated, it's the fact that a Cyberstage is not being used in-studio directly with animating that stages' movements. This is why so many movements are "missing". It's hard to explain, but those that have seen past shows from the 90's in the flesh know what i am talking about.

All the 3 Stage signals are then coverted for the other stages via a computer program ( at least that is what was going on a few years ago....and i would assume it's still then case now). This would make the task of animated a show much less time consuming and it was also a nessesity since the Studio no longer had a in-house Cyberstage setup to program with. I do not have the details of what motion is converted to where, but at its most basic whatever motions match between the stages ( i.e.--Right Turn/Left Turn....Eye Blink, etc.) would coincide directly with it's alternative motion on the other style stage.

08-05-2006, 02:17 PM

so here is my question...I bought a dolly in 1984 but didn't have a showtape until about 1991 and only heard the audio...but have never seen her in action except when I was a young child and went to PTT in Houston she was located in the game room all set up with the piano and coin box not in a separate room...which was weird for me to hear she was in a separate room...so did her boobs move when she laughed or what? I am sure they weren't moving to the beat of the music, though that would have been cool and quite funny to see. Also the Houston location (on fm 1960--Randall's shopping center) didn't have a King, either.

Next question, when the moved the King into the main showroom I saw in Corpus Christi in 1987 in the tech room under the stage two orange control systems...one for each...how did hey hook them both up together and have them play every other time?

Shiney Happy Jenn

08-05-2006, 07:48 PM

Computer timing...

The Captain can better explain it methinks.

Regarding Dolli's "boobs"....

They moved up and down randomly...almost in time with her deep breaths. It added a lot of realisim to the characters, not to mention humor too!

Shoot Trey...why did'nt you come to CV3? We had a operational restored Dolli there performing live!

captslappy

08-05-2006, 10:36 PM

The breast movement isn't a big deal. Everyone always expects more to it. She never really laughed. It just makes her look like she's breathing. Its not very noticeable duirng the shows but it is very pronounced in the diagnostic. I think all of her movements kind of distract from it. Also the programmer held the button down so its big long breaths in the diagnostic. I think the button is just "tapped" during the programming on the skits so you don't see it as well.

Also... Dolli's movements match Kings identically. Her breast movement is King's foot tap. The eprom boards have 2 "sockets". Originally the balcony used 2 roms but later they went to one. King and Dolli likely are the same rom but King is in "socket A" and Dolli is "socket B". That is what keeps Dolli and Kings eprom from being universal. I also think this is why King's eprom is the same as the Beagles. I do not know about the Little Shavers but they were Cyberamic bots and used the same system.

08-05-2006, 10:42 PM

Next question, when the moved the King into the main showroom I saw in Corpus Christi in 1987 in the tech room under the stage two orange control systems...one for each...how did hey hook them both up together and have them play every other time?

Simple... there is a special character card that goes in both card cage. A signal called a "king command" was added to the end of each skit and it sent a signal to King's computer which started his show. When King ended the main show started up. If you understand how the computer works in general it works the same way basically as the token/Go button switch. The computer gets a signal and it starts the reel. This could have been used for any caberet or lounge act but by then all Dolli/Artie/BB shows were long gone as were most of the Beagles and Bowzers. Mostly it was just King by then. I'm sure there were still a few Beagles and Bowzers in the showroom out there in place of King but most of that stuff was junked system wide. I know Dolli was officially retired system wide in 86 or 87 and a memo was sent to all techs to remove Dolli/Artie/BB from service. I am not sure but believe the same happened with any Beagle and Bowzer shows at a later date but a few franchize stores may have kept them anyway. Not sure when all the Kings were pulled but I think the same thing happened. If there are any left in service today at all they would only be in a franchize store and I can't see more than 5 (if any) left in a PTT. Who knows, there may be some old caberet or lounges in storage in a basement or attic still but with all the remodels it is highly highly doubtful that any stores have any of this stuff.

True..and sad too.

It's a shame all those great characters were phased out. If i had kids, i would WANT to share that expereince with them. I'm sure the RAE Fans feel the same way.....it really sucks that we don't have that opportunity and it was taken away from us.

Who knows what we would have today if Nolan and the original PTT Inc. still held the rights and owned the resturants.

Getting on a more cheerful topic:
