===Plot===
Chuck E. Cheese (depicted as an animatronic on Stage Right in 3-Stage setups, while Studio C setups depict him on his own monitor if progress is far enough along), Crusty T. Cat (shown on his own monitor) and the other Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band members (shown in a similar style to Studio C showtapes) present clips from various showtapes made over the years, which are shown on the monitors. The tape is split into six parts, and at the beginning and end of each part, Chuck E. and Crusty, who are in the know, drop several clues as to who their replacements are, and leave the rest of the band and the audience to figure it out themselves. At the end, Billy Bob and Looney Bird appear to promote the location's conversion into a ShowBiz Pizza Place.
Since parties were still necessary during Concept Division conversions, a special birthday show was made; in it, Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band performed the "Birthday Extravaganza" from the later Pizza Time Players years. There was also a hidden video at the end showcasing the future of ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc.

===Transcript===
==== Intermission 1 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 1====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays, and the band members are shown in a Skype-esque screen, with each of their respective squares turning on as they say their lines)
* Jasper: Hey, hold up, what's the big deal?
* Helen: The door to the stage is closed!
* Pasqually: Why aren't we on stage?
* Munch: Seriously, what's going on?! Chuck E., did someone throw pizza on the stage again? We need better security!
* Chuck E.: Not this time, Munch. Actually, Tim Johnson, our new boss, has told me everything. I don't know if you've heard, but this won't be a Chuck E. Cheese's anymore.
*(The entire band gasps in shock)
* Helen: But what will happen to the place, Chuck E.?
*Jasper: Wait, when did we start answering to Tim Johnson?!
* Chuck E.: Since 2010, give or take. Now, look, we're shocked just as you are right now, but I assure you that we will still be seen in other restaurants, so we won't go away altogether. Right here, though, we will be replaced by new faces.
* Crusty: Chuck E. knows those different faces who'll replace us, but Mr. Johnson has told us to only give individual clues as to who the new guys are. Especially since the name banners aren't up above the curtain valences yet.
*Chuck E.: Right you are, Crusty. Now, one of the members is a conceited, clueless wolf and his wisecracking dummy. All right, that's clue number one. Again, a conceited, clueless wolf and his wisecracking dummy. Take a guess, all right?
* Pasqually: Hmm...that's a tricky one.
* Munch: Oh, this is too hard! I don't wanna leave!
* Chuck E.: I know, and frankly, I don't want to, either. But this is our last show here, so let's make this one count. All right? Now, our second clue is a technology-loving red bird who lives in an oil barrel. Again, a technology-loving red bird who lives in an oil barrel.
* Jasper: That sounds like Pizzacam. Y'all remember him?
* Helen: Yeah. It's a shame he became a libertarian and quit to protest Chuck E. becoming a, and I quote, "soulless corporate sellout".
* Chuck E.: Well, we had to go public! It's the fate of all big companies! 
* Crusty: By the way, Pizzacam’s back now.
* Chuck E.: Huh?
* Crusty: Yeah, we got back a lot of our old backup singers. Moon, Reggie Bird, Munch Jr....
* Chuck E.: Ah. The more the merrier, I guess. Now, we're going to reminisce about all the good times we've had all these years. We'll start all the way back at the very beginning. Back when we were the Pizza Time Players, and it was just me, Pasqually, Jasper, Crusty, and the Warblettes.
* Jasper: That reminds me, Crusty, why exactly did you leave anyway?
* Crusty: Well, I was fired by Bushnell for going Communist.
* Helen: ...ouch.
* Crusty: Don't worry. I happened to be the worst Communist in the world. I thought the Proletariat was the enemy, but I myself, Crusty T. Cat, was the Proletariat.
* Munch: I...don't think any of the kids in the audience are gonna understand what we're talking about.
* Chuck E.: I know. But Mr. Johnson said we have to start appealing to adults more in addition to kids.
* Crusty: Anyway, I went on to a band called Bowling for Fish, we sold a lot of records, and I used some of my royalties to buy a bankrupt talent agency, yadda, yadda, yadda, and here I am now. You should definitely meet my other bandmates sometime. They're all cats.
* Chuck E.: Okay, we'll keep that in mind.
* Pasqually: There's-a somebody else-a I remember.
* Chuck E.: Who?
* Pasqually: Well, she's a pig. Really enjoyed her back in the day.
* Chuck E.: Madame Oink?
* Pasqually: Ding-a-ding-a-ding-a-ding! *giggles*
* Crusty: Still talking with that stereotypical accent, I see...
* Chuck E.: Oh, yeah. I'm happy to inform you guys that we reached out to her and brought her back as a rotating guest star, just like the old days. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's a highlight reel of some of our best shows from our first few years! Uh, Larry?
* Larry (o/s): Yeah, boss?
* Chuck E.: Roll the film.
* Larry (o/s): Sure thing.
* (Some crashing sounds are heard)
* Larry (o/s): Sorry, boss. I guess I really need to work on getting the film in.
* Chuck E.: Never mind, Larry, I got this.
*(The monitors play clips from PTT Demo Showtape and Madame Oink - Around the World.)
* Chuck E.: Wow...I often forget how much of a jerk I was back in the day.
*Jasper: And I often forget how dumb I was.
*Crusty: I just learned that "Entertainment" is your middle name. Come on! You'd think the E would stand for something like Edward.
*Chuck E.: Well, my parents wanted to give me the middle name Richard, but whoever did my birth certificate took my dad's remark that "entertainment" should be my middle name too literally.
*Helen: Wow. Then again, I don't think "Chuck R. Cheese" quite rolls off the tongue as well.
*Chuck E.: Agreed.
*Crusty: And for the record, my real name is Marion, so what do I know.
*Chuck E.: Anyway, we'll be right back with more Pizza Time Players and Munch's Make-Believe Band highlights in a few minutes.
==== Intermission 2 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 2====
* - These lines were played if the location was in Florida.
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Chuck E.: Alright, we're back. Now, I'm sure you've been hearing a lot of noise from behind the curtains, right?
* Rest of the band: Right.
* Chuck E.: Well, right now they're doing some work back there. These old stages have needed refurbishment for a real long time, and what better time than when this place becomes something else?
* Jasper: I still don't wanna go!
* Munch: They can't just toss us aside like trash! I've still got a lot of songs left in me! A-a-and there's still so much pizza I haven't eaten! This is inhumane!
* Helen: Munch, this is no time to panic!
* Munch: This is a perfect time to panic! Chuck E. Cheese's is done! Finished! KAPUT! We're headed for the place all forgotten musicians go!
* Pasqually: A retirement home?
* Munch: No, worse! Florida!
* Jasper: No! Not Florida! I hear their climate is crazy and their drivers crazier!
* Crusty: Well, we are in Florida.*
* Munch and Jasper: NO!!!!!!*
* Chuck E.: Everyone, please!
* (The rest of the band goes silent)
* Chuck E.: Like I said, we're just being replaced here.
*Crusty: Yeah, and there's still plenty of Chuck E. Cheese's locations around the country that aren't making the switch!
* Munch: I know, guys, but...this particular location (insert joke pertaining to the location undergoing Concept Division)!
*(When this line is said, Munch's screen fades to a photo of that location)
* Chuck E.: Yeah, you got a point there. But Mr. Johnson is kind of...hard. Like, I tried persuading him not to go through with it.
* Helen: How'd he respond?
* Chuck E.: He threatened to set a girl named Rei on me.
* Pasqually: You mean Rei Ayanami from-a Monster World? That's a fate worse than-a death!
*(As Pasqually says this, his monitor fades to a photo of Rei laughing maniacally with Vincent Price's laugh from the Thriller music video playing in the background.)
* Chuck E.: You're telling me. Anyway, it's time for the next clue. The drummer is a slow-witted brown canine in a silver astronaut costume. Again, a slow-witted brown canine in a silver astronaut costume.
*(The Chuck E. head graphic flashes to reveal Harmony Howlette)
* Harmony: Did somebody say "brown canine"?
*Rest of the band: Harmony!
*Harmony: Howdy, y'all!
* Jasper: Oh, hey, Harmony! It's so good to see you again. I missed you so much.
*Harmony: Aw, thank ya, Jasper. You as well.
*Helen: So where were you all this time anyway?
* Harmony: Ah, it's a long story. See, since Bushnell laid me off, Ah've been hostin' rodeos, Ah've taken up drummin', an' Ah've become a sheriff.
* Chuck E.: Yeah, everybody, I should point out that Crusty ain't the only new guy, well, new-old guy here. Harmony is our drummer now, and she'll do great, I can guarantee it.
* Harmony: *howls in excitement*
* Crusty: As for Pasqually, he's back on the accordion. Y'know, like in the old days.
* Pasqually: The accordion was always more-a my speed!
*Chuck E.: And now here's a clip of Harmony's debut appearance back in '81. Roll tape!
* (Segment ends and the monitors play part of the "Harmony's Hoedown" showtape)
* Chuck E.: We're starting Part 3 in a few minutes, so don't go away!
* Harmony: One thing's fer sure: Ah ain't gonna be caught dead wearin' no makeup again.
==== Intermission 3 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 3====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Chuck E.: Now that we're beginning Part 3, guys, I think it's a perfect time to show the audience our third clue for our replacements: the keyboardist is a large, boisterous gorilla who is the band's frontman.
*Munch: That sounds like me!
*Harmony: Ya ain't a goriller, Munch.
*Munch: No, it's the "frontman" part. And they gave me his keyboard.
*Crusty: I think it's called a Tune Machine.
* Jasper: So, Chuck, what's next on the list?
* Chuck E.: Well, remember when Helen Henny was an old Broadway diva?
* Helen: (shudders) That was awkward. When they got me back a few years after they got me to do some guest appearances when I was in my Helen Reddy phase, they told me to put on this old hen costume, act like an old hen, and cluck a lot. I'm probably never clucking that much again, I hope.
* Crusty: Oh, and to all you out there in the audience, did you know Helen was our last guest star before Pizza Time Theatre went bust? Yeah, she became a permanent member of our group because she just so happened to be at many of our restaurants by then.
*Helen: How did you know all this, Crusty?
*Crusty: 'Cause I've been following you guys for years. Also, I maaaaaay have been reading showbizpizza.com a little too much. Did you know they consider Harmony's Hoedown the best show ever put on at Pizza Time Theatre?
*Chuck E.: Huh, I did not know that. Makes sense, we put a lot of work into that particular show. 
*Harmony: Ya darn tootin' we did! Ah just want to say somethin': ta whoever runs that showbizpizza.com site, y'all are invited to mah barbecue! Jasper's cookin'.
*Chuck E.: Anyway, here's what we're showing the audience: a montage of some of our classic songs from the 80s. I was coming out of that off-color New Jersey rat phase then. Alright, guys, let's roll the tape!
* (The monitors play clips from the Broadway Helen Henny, Tune Machine/Country, and CEC American Pride showtapes)
==== Intermission 4 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 4====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Chuck E.: We're in Part 4, guys, so we're about to head into the late '80s and early '90s.
* Helen: I still remember that. That tux looked great on you, as it does now. And that dress I wore, so fantastic!
*Harmony: Gotta say, it's been pretty darn interesting, learnin' about how y'all have done since '82. Ah didn't know that Wolfman Zapp feller was yer announcer!
*Chuck E.: He's also our stage manager. You'll love all the sounds Treggie Twang adds to our shows.
* Jasper: So what's our next clue, Chuck?
* Chuck E.: The guitarist is a sarcastic polar bear who loves to surf.
* Munch: That sounds familiar...
* Crusty: Let them figure it out, Munch. By now, I'm pretty sure some nostalgic adult in the audience knows who they are.
*Jasper: They even gave me his guitar. Or at least one just like it.
* Helen: Oh, speaking of, I got my very own guitar now. I played one back in the day, and I'm glad I got my own instrument again.
* Chuck E.: And since Crusty's also on guitar now, that makes two guitarists in the band. Jasper agreed to go back to playing the banjo.
*Jasper: Yeah, I always preferred the ol' skinboard to that guitar anyway. Especially that one made out of cheese. Whose idea was that?
*Munch: ...I wash my hands of that affair.
*Chuck E.: Anyway, remember Concept Unification? Back when the same thing happened all these years ago, except that we were the replacements? That's when we became Munch's Make-Believe Band.
* Helen: Oh, yeah! They finally let me just be myself, not act like this clucking old hen like before.
* Pasqually: And they put me in the drums.
*Jasper: And I stopped being so stupid.
* Munch: And I became the frontman, for some reason. Around that time I also got out of that really long cold that made my voice all scratchy. In hindsight, I probably should've seen a doctor about that.
*Chuck E.: Yeah, as time went on I kinda went more into the frontman role than Munch. Our new management renamed us to Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band. So ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, the Concept Unification Premiere, 1989.
* (Chuck E.'s curtain closes and the monitors play clips from the Concept Unification Premiere showtape)
==== Intermission 5 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 5====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Chuck E.: Welcome to Part 5 of our final show at this restaurant!
*Crusty: One more part to go and we're out of here. 
*Chuck E.: Right, and now here's our next clue. The female vocalist is a cheerleading mouse wearing white and green.
* Helen: Hey, I was a cheerleader back then. They even put me in green. (The monitors briefly show artwork of Helen from the 1990s, in her cheerleader outfit) I never really cared for wearing green though. Pink or purple is more my color.
* Chuck E.: And they made me pretend I was a mouse. People could still tell I'm a rat. Not to mention they made me hide my tail under my clothes.
* Munch: Remember the Awesome Adventure Machine?
*Harmony: Awesome Adventure what now?
*Munch: Awesome Adventure Machine. It had all those cool lights and effects. And those big ol' screens.
* Jasper: Yeah. It looked pretty cool. Shame the old heads decided not to use it though because it was "expensive". I had a blast myself.
* Chuck E.: So did I.
* Pasqually: So what's our next-a show?
* Chuck E.: Well, it's a selection of clips from the '90s and 2000s, when they made us try to be more kid-like and all, made me use a fake voice to hide my Jersey accent and even made me a skateboarder. I mean, I never saw myself as a Tony Hawk type. Anyway, a new stage for me called Studio C came in because our bosses wanted to phase out my friends. They wanted me to do a talk show.
* Crusty: Well, at least you were a better talk show host than Chevy Chase.
* Jasper: To be fair, almost anybody can be.
* Chuck E.: But Jeremy was able to stop it just in time. Let's be real: I need friends to bounce off. Having a single bird with me is just boring. The footage we're showing features us on the older stage. Larry, roll the clips!
* (The monitors play clips from the Let the Good Times Roll, Dance Party, September 2002 Show, and April 2005 Show showtapes)
==== Intermission 5 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Part 6====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Chuck E.: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, we're onto the home stretch of our last show in this restaurant, and we have one last clue for the band that replaces us. Let's recap: one member is a conceited, clueless wolf and wisecracking dummy, there's a slow-witted brown canine in a silver astronaut costume, a large, boisterous gorilla who is the band's frontman, a sarcastic polar bear who loves to surf, and a cheerleading mouse wearing white and green. Got it? (the band nods)
* Crusty: Now here's our last clue. And this last clue also happens to be the mascot. Chuck?
* Chuck E.: Here goes nothing then. (clears throat) A sweet-natured country bear from Tennessee in red-and-yellow striped overalls.
* Jasper: (gasps) I think I just got it. And I don't like it.
* Pasqually: I just-a got it, too! Oh, I knew they'd return one day for-a vengeance!
* Munch: We're dead! We are dead! All dead! All gonna die! Dead Men Be We! A cornucopia of pain and despair is coming our way to ensure our demise!
* Helen: Harmony. Slap him.
*(Harmony slaps Mr. Munch)
* Munch: Ow!
* Helen: Thank you.
* Munch: I thought we ran them out of town?! Last I checked, they were holed up at their headquarters in Orlando, doing freelance work for whoever would pay!
* Chuck E.: Yeah, well, Mr. Johnson wanted them back. That's right, as we said at the beginning of this show, this Chuck E. Cheese's location will no longer be a Chuck E. Cheese's, but a ShowBiz Pizza Place. And it wouldn't be a ShowBiz Pizza Place without The Rock-afire Explosion!
* Jasper: But I don't get it! We've been performing longer than they have! Surely we have more marquee value?
* Pasqually: Yeah, and I'm-a ten times the comedian that wolf ever was-a!
*(Crusty gives an aside glance)
* Chuck E.: Look, it's not my decision. I know, my name and face are on the building, but the truth is, I don't actually own Chuck E. Cheese's. I'm just the mascot, not privy to any decisions made at the top. And wouldn't you know it, it's just about time for us to say goodbye.
*(The other band members wail in despair with the exception of Crusty, who is instead rolling his head, with the APM cue "Of Love and Destiny" playing; Helen also wipes her eyes with her handkerchief. A record scratch is heard when Chuck E. says his line.)
* Chuck E.: But hey, there's still plenty of Chuck E. Cheese's locations around the world. We're not going anywhere. In fact, a lot of cities around the country will soon have both a Chuck E. Cheese's and a ShowBiz Pizza Place. And we’ll also make appearances here from time to time.
*Crusty: And don't cry like babies next time.
*(Chuck E. gives Crusty a disapproving look)
*Crusty: Sorry...
*Chuck E.: Anyway, before we go, a certain someone has a special message for all of you.
*(Billy Bob and Looney Bird appear on the center monitor, or the Stage Left curtains open if the process is far enough along)
* Billy Bob: Well, howdy, folks! I'm Billy Bob! That's three B's, two L's, a Y, an I, and an O! It sure is great to be back here with all of ya! I won't lie, things were looking pretty dark for the Rock-afire Explosion, but through the storm, we stuck together, no matter how hard the world tried. And wouldn't ya know, our perseverance paid off! I'd sure like y'all to join us on *insert date of grand reopening here* when this location reopens as ShowBiz Pizza Place! I'll be there, and so will Looney Bird! Isn't that right, Looney Bird?
* Looney Bird: Whuh? Sorry, Billy Bob, I'm trying to get onto the wi-fi. What's the password?
* Munch: 12345.
* Looney Bird: 12345?! (Mr. Munch nods) That's the stupidest password I've ever heard! That's the combination an idiot would put on his luggage!
* Munch: Uhh...
* Looney Bird: Tch, aliens. And people wonder why the Moonrockers never took off...
* Billy Bob: Yeah, the years haven't been too kind to Looney Bird. Anyway, back to you, Chuck E.
* Chuck E.: Thanks, Billy Bob. And by the way, we've issued an official apology to your boss, Mr. Fechter, just so there's no hard feelings. Anyway, that's all from us, folks! Next time you come back, we hope you enjoy our replacements. But before we go, we'd like to say thank you to all of you for coming out, not just today, but for all these years. Without you, there'd be no Chuck E. Cheese's. Hope to see you again soon, friends!
*(The rest of the band waves)
*Helen: Bye, everybody!
*Harmony: So long!
*Jasper: Goodbye! Oh, the feels...
*Munch: Hey, Pasqually, I'm starving; are you still able to make pizza?
*Pasqually: Of course! *giggles*
* Crusty: All righty, guys, time to start packing. I got the wheel.
* Billy Bob: See ya, Chuck! We'll keep the place in good order!
* Looney Bird: Yeah, we'll make sure Earl doesn't burn the place down!
* Billy Bob: Since when did Earl become a pyromaniac, Looney Bird?
* Looney Bird: He didn't. I just wanted to get a word in.
*(The curtain on Stage Right closes while the rest of the characters walk away as "See You Soon My Friend" from Future '91 closes out the show; on the last day of installation, Chuck E.'s curtain remains open in many locations, and if the process is far enough along, Billy Bob sings along with Chuck E.)
==== Intermission 6 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
==== Special Birthday Show (Birthday Extravaganza) ====
* Chuck E.: Alright, guys, someone's having a party here while renovations are going on, so we gotta do one last birthday song.
* Crusty: What's that?
* Chuck E.: It's our old birthday song from our Pizza Time Players days.
* Jasper: You mean...
*(The music begins)
* Chuck E.: Yeah. It's time for the "Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Extravaganza". Ready?
* Helen: Sure am!
* Pasqually: Of course-a!
*Harmony: Let's do it.
* Munch: I just love an old classic!
* Jasper: I'd love to do it again!
* Chuck E.: All righty then.
*Crusty: Look, look, the cakes are coming right now!
*(The Parade of Cakes begins)
* Pasqually: Here's that cake I baked!
*(The Parade of Cakes continues, then the rest of the band hollers and the music ends)
* Chuck E.: You know, the real stars of the show today are our very special birthday kids, and now comes the real magic.
* Jasper: Card tricks? (A card sound plays)
*Chuck E.: No card tricks.
* Munch: Sawing a cake in half? (A sawing sound plays)
*Chuck E.: No sawing.
* Pasqually: Pulling a rabbit out of your hat? (A slide whistle sound plays)
* Chuck E.: Nope.
*Crusty: Sheesh, when did you guys all become Simon Soundman?
*Jasper: ...how do you know who that is?
*Crusty: I read the Muppet Wiki, that's how.
*Chuck E.: Now our birthday guest thinks of a magic wish to make before they blow out the candles at the end of this song.
*(The band sings "Happy Birthday To You")
*Entire band: Happy birthday to you (Crusty: Come on everybody, sing!) Happy birthday to you Happy birthday from all of us! (Pasqually giggles) Happy birthday to you
*(The music stops)
* Chuck E.: Okay, make your wish, and...
* Entire band: ...blow out your candles!
*(A loud wind noise is heard)
* Pasqually: Oh...
*Harmony: Wow!
* Munch: Hey!
* Helen: It's getting breezy in here!
* Crusty: Hold on to your hats!
* Jasper: I am! I am!
*Harmony: Me too!
*(The wind noise stops)

==== Hidden Video (The Future of ShowBiz Pizza Time) ====
* (Title card, then fade to Tim Johnson)
* Tim: Ladies and gentlemen, I am your El Presidente, Tim Johnson. If you are watching this...
* (The "secret found" sound from The Legend of Zelda plays)
* Tim: You have found the secret video on the "Under Renovation" showtape. In this video, we will be looking at the future of not just Chuck E. Cheese's, but also ShowBiz Pizza Place.
* (Title card: Redux 3-Stage)
* Tim: First off, let's look at the Redux 3-Stage. This is the name for the new Chuck E. Cheese stage concept that is similar to the ShowBiz 3-Stage, but different at the same time. We'll start our look on Stage Left. Like on the old Munch's Make-Believe Band 3-Stage, this is where Chuck E. dwells, now joined by Reggie Bird, the same bird from Studio C, and the Warblettes. Center Stage is largely the same as on the current MMBB 3-Stage, but with more characters. From left to right, we have: Pasqually on accordion, Helen on bass, Mr. Munch still on keyboard, Jasper on banjo, and Harmony Howlette on drums. On this stage, you'll also see the Building, Moon, Singing Flowers, Mopsey Sisters, and Munch Jr. And on Stage Right, we have Crusty T. Cat on guitar, accompanied by Pizzacam. Directly above Center Stage is the Wink which, of course, winks after each segment, once again accompanied by a jingle. The primary animatronics on this stage are manufactured by Garner Holt Productions, while minor characters are manufactured by Fechter Creative Engineering.
* (Title card: Redux 3-Stage Variant)
* Tim: Be advised that the Redux 3-Stage you just saw is only for locations with Studio C stage configurations. For locations with the 1-Stage, 2-Stage, and Road Stage, the same stage setup will use the existing Pizza Time Theatre-era Cyberamic animatronics instead of the newer Garner Holt animatronics (minor characters will still be FCE-made). Do they look more off-putting? Yes. Are they historically-significant? Also yes. Don't judge me. New Crusty and Harmony Cyberamics will be made for those locations.
* (Title card: Rock-afire Explosion)
* Tim: As of the making of this video in 2011, there are 53 3-Stages left in Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants. These will all be converted back to the Rock-afire Explosion as part of the Concept Division process. There's really nothing to talk about here, because it's the same setup as the classic Rock-afire Explosion, but with Mitzi Jr. replacing her mother. All I will say is that Aaron Fechter and his crew are hard at work developing next-generation animatronics.
* (Title card: Ho-kago Tea Time)
* Tim: This is an early concept for ShowBiz Pizza Place stores in the Japanese States of Kanto, Tohoku, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, Hokkaido, and Okinawa. Slated for release in 2016, the Ho-kago Tea Time stage is the 3-Stage with the main cast of the hit franchise K-On! occupying Center Stage. Your favorite girls, Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Mugi (Azusa will come at a later date) will be represented using the currently in-development second-generation AnimeTronic technology that seeks to create the ultimate animatronic that acts and feels like a living human being. Stages Left and Right will still feature Billy Bob, Looney Bird, Rolfe, and Earl, interacting and singing with the girls on Center Stage.
* (Title card: And in the end...)
* Tim: And there you have it, a quick overview of what's to come for ShowBiz Pizza Time in the near future. Now, if you would be so kind as to get your store ready for Concept Division, because there's a lot of work to do before the conversion takes place. I'm talking to you, Wilmington!
===Trivia===
* This showtape was inspired by "The Rolfe & Earle (sic) Show", which played at ShowBiz Pizza Place locations that were undergoing Concept Unification between June 1990 and 1992 in place of the Rock-afire Explosion; it was also the last Rock-afire Explosion showtape played at ShowBiz until 2011 and is widely considered the worst Rock-afire showtape for its use of poor vocal impersonators for Rolfe and Earl (namely, the voice actors from the ShowBiz-produced tapes from the mid-1980s), mixing up their characterizations, and their overall cheaper and overly positive feel compared to the Fechter-produced shows.
* The use of the "Birthday Spectacular" as a hidden birthday song is a nod to the Pizza Time Players era. It has been brought back on a regular basis starting in 2011 as one of several shows for birthday guests to choose.
*This showtape reveals the in-universe explanation for Chuck E.'s middle name; his originally planned middle name, Richard, is a reference to the character's originally planned name, Rick Rat.
* The clips from the PTT Demo Showtape were filmed at the ShowBiz Pizza Time headquarters in San Jose using restored Portrait Show animatronics that were bought by Johnson in 2004 and held in a museum, while the Madame Oink - Around the World, Harmony II - Harmony's Hoedown, and Broadway Helen Henny showtapes were all filmed using Cyberamics loaned from Smitty's Super Service Station in Sandy Hook, Mississippi and Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Hills, Michigan on replica Balcony Stages. The clips from the Concept Unification Premiere were from the demo of the first segment released in 1989 at the end of the Christmas showtape for The Rock-afire Explosion, while the remaining clips came directly from those shows' Cyberstar segments; the talking segments during the "Dance Party", September 2002, and April 2005 showtapes were filmed using the 2-Stage at the San Jose "Kooser Road" store, the second Chuck E. Cheese's to have ever opened and therefore the oldest in existence; it was shot prior to the location's 2012 remodel. This was because the versions used were the Existing Stages versions, and while the characters were talking, generic "Dance Party" and CEC TV splash screens were displayed on the Cyberstar monitors. Here is an idea of said talking segments' cinematography style.
* The members of Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band (except for Chuck E.) were depicted as puppets, while Billy Bob and Looney Bird were animatronics, shot at the Fechter Creative Engineering programming room in Orlando, Florida. Chuck E. is depicted as an animatronic in the 3-Stage and Beta and Beta Cappa Mix versions, and as a puppet on his own monitor in the Studio C Alpha, Cappa, and Alpha Beta Mix version. This tape wasn't played if the location remained a Chuck E. Cheese's; instead, all showtapes were played on a large Cyberstar monitor during remodels.
* The wi-fi password (12345) and Looney Bird's response reference the 1987 science-fiction spoof Spaceballs. Incidentally, during this showtape's run, the wi-fi password at these locations actually was 12345, as part of the joke.
* Crusty's line "That was a prance-upon stage name I was using back then." references the 2007 film Bee Movie.
*Helen and Munch's exchange "Munch, this is no time to panic!" and "This is a perfect time to panic!" reference the 1995 film Toy Story.
* Munch's freakout is a line-for-line reference to "到着を恐怖!! 敬礼, ギニュー特戦隊!!" ("Fear the Arrival!! Salute, Ginyu Force!!"), the nineteenth episode of Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
* The third and fifth parts' showtape segments were a combined hour long. This was to allow for work to occur on Center Stage and Stage Left unimpeded, as the darkness provided by the reinstallation of the showroom wall and new lighting procedures was the perfect cover for moving props and animatronics to and from behind the curtains.
* Part 5 was originally going to feature the "Awesome Adventure Machine" showtape from August-September 1996, but was replaced by the "Dance Party" showtape from April-July 1999 due the former having been made specifically for the Awesome Adventure Machine test stage, and thus all of the Cyberstar segments were unusable.
*During the conversion process, many stores finished work on Stage Left in 3-Stage setups early, and Billy Bob and Looney Bird were fully functional and ready to go. In a case of foresight, programming for Billy Bob and Looney Bird is included in the 3-Stage tape, and for their appearance in Part 6, many stores opted to use said programming once Stage Left had been finished or was in a state considered acceptable for use. In this case, the curtains stay open, and Billy Bob and Looney Bird join in on "See You Soon My Friend", with Aaron Fechter recording new vocals.
**Programming for Chuck E. in the 3-Stage tape during "See You Soon My Friend" was also included with new vocals by Duncan Brannan (Chuck E.'s current voice actor), and on the last day of the installation, many stores used the programming to allow Chuck E. and Billy Bob to sing at the same time as a symbolic "changing of the guard".
* A hidden video was included in all versions of the tape showcasing the future of ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc., including previews of the Redux 3-Stage, unification of the Cyberamic stages into a Cyberamic Redux 3-Stage variant, and the end of the Studio C stages.
*In the Hidden Birthday show, Crusty references the obscure Sesame Street character Simon Soundman, as well as the Muppet Wiki. This reference is removed in the normal version.

==== Intermission 1 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 1====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays. Aaron Fechter appears on the Cyberstar monitors in front of a curtain setting, although he instead appears in person at the first performance in the San Jose ShowBiz location)
* Aaron: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, after years in exile, the greatest animatronic band to have ever graced the stage has finally returned to its rightful home, right here, at ShowBiz Pizza Place! Yes, the world's most advanced entertainment has now rejoined forces with the world's finest pizza!
* (The Rock-afire Explosion sings "Welcome In" from the ShowBiz Pizza '82 showtape)
* Billy Bob: Alright, we still got it! Howdy, folks, I'm Billy Bob. That's three B's, two L's, a Y, an I, and an O! I can now safely say that the Rock-afire Explosion is back!
* (The band hoots and hollers in joy)
* Billy Bob: Ever since we were callously kicked to the curb by the old corporate suits, we've been trying to find any work we could, any at all. Things were looking bleak, but like we said during Christmastime in '86, we stuck it out through stormy weather, and will always stay together. And look at us! We're all still here! Well, almost. Mitzi thinks she's too old to be a role model for girls. But that's okay, 'cause we got her daughter, Mitzi Jr.!
* Mitzi Jr.: I may only be (ten, eleven, or twelve), but my mama says I've got the voice of angels!
* Fatz: Ah, that ya do, Junior! Why, I heard ya backstage before the show practicin', and, and ya got ya mom's magic!
* (The band murmurs in agreement)
* Billy Bob: So, anyway, what's everyone been up to since we went our separate ways for a spell back around '99?
* Fatz: Well, I've been moonlightin' as a lounge singer at the Contemporary Resort at Disney World.
* Beach Bear: Ooh, nice!
* Dook: Makin' me jealous, Fatz!
* Fatz: The pay's good, I get to stay in a nice room in the main tower, and I wake up every morning watchin' the monorails whizz by and looking at Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain.
* Mitzi Jr.: It's like a dream come true!
* Fatz: That it is, Junior, that it is!
* Billy Bob: How 'bout you, guys?
* Dook: Well, after we went our separate ways, I went into writing sci-fi novels. Didn't get off the ground. Then I tried making movies. Again, didn't work.
* Looney Bird: I have a copy of one! It's called Pizza Wars. Dook used a lot of money he made from royalties to make that.
* Dook: The film was my pride and joy until the executives took it away and hired a new director to reshoot most of it. And still kept my name on it.
* Beach Bear: I thought I'd try releasing a fashion line of Hawaiian clothing. Couldn't really find a supplier.
* Mitzi Jr.: My mother went on to become a successful model.
* Rolfe: And my fame has skyrocketed! Millions of people worship me nowadays!
* Earl: Who said you were any famous? Last thing you did of any importance aside from freelance work was over 20 years ago. All you've been doin' since then is provin' you're washed up!
* Rolfe: Shucks, Earl, that's the nicest thing you've said to me, ever.
* Earl: That's nice for you, considering HOW MUCH OF A GEEK YOU ARE! Seriously, the only people LESS talented than you are those untalented look-alikes ShowBiz hired to replace us in the mid '80s and who did "our" last show.
* Rolfe: Shut up, Earl, or else I'm disassembling you.
* Billy Bob: Anyway, Junior's not the only new member, 'cause we have a new backup singer. He's been a fan of us for a long time but this is the first time he's actually performing with us. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Fernando Fox!
*(Fernando appears on the left Cyberstar monitor)
*Fernando: Hey, guys!
*Entire band: Hey, Fernando!
*Fernando: I'm so excited to begin my tenure with this band, and I've been taking vocal lessons. I'll be with you guys later on.
*Billy Bob: See ya later, Fernando! (Fernando disappears, and the left monitor fades back to the Rock-afire Explosion logo.) Anyway, here's "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees! One, two, three...
* (The band sings "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees)
* Rolfe: This is Rolfe DeWolfe coming to you live from ShowBiz Pizza Place! Isn't it great to be able to say that again, Earl?
* Earl: Not when it's you saying it!
* Rolfe: Pardon Earl here, he's gotten pretty cranky since we left.
* Billy Bob: Anyway, we got one more member with us, because back in '82, we had a special guest in certain restaurants. He was quite funny until the corporate suits butchered him into, well, an abomination. Okay, he's already an abomination but he was a funny abomination before corporate did their thing. Fortunately, I can now assure you that he's back and better than ever. He's up there in this monitor. So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the band... the Uncle Klunk Abomination!
* (Uncle Klunk appears on the Cyberstar monitors, and his theme song plays)
* Klunk: Welcome, folks, to the Uncle Klunk AbominationWe're really gonna have a good time for this sensationWell, the name is Uncle KlunkAnd you're really gonna have a good timeAnd it don't even matter if you put too many words in a line just as long as it rhymesWell, here he is, just for youThe Uncle Klunk AbominationWith the weather, with the sports
* Klunk and backup singers: And other stuff
* Klunk: So you're stormin' for a real big treatThe kind that entertainment that can't be beatSo sit right back and drop your feetCookin' pizza, to commenceTo get ready, to get started
* Click: Ca-ca-commence and get ready to get started?
* Klunk: No, fix the "commence and get ready to get started". With the Uncle Klunk Abomination!
* (Klunk's theme song ends)
* Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, Uncle Klunk!
* Klunk: Hey everybody, this is Uncle Klunk, your voice of the pizza, and I am back. Today's first abomination is gonna be a real big one because I haven't done one in so long, and I had my reputation ruined by an impostor who behaves nothing like I do. Yeah, uh, we got that all sorted out now, so, let's get right down to business. For this abomination, we'll refrain from looking at our phones for the next minute. Music! (Jeopardy!-style thinking music plays) Now the timer! (The timer appears on the right monitor) Perfect. Um, you can continue eating your pizza, koosh. Or you can stare at me. You can even go out into the gameroom area, but no cheatin', alright? Just leave your phones right on the table. Okay, now look at me when I'm speaking. Good. (Music ends) And the music's over. Okay, everybody, you can go back on your phones. I'm glad y'all were able to--wait, hang on, hang on! It's my banana phone.
==== Intermission 2 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 2====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Billy Bob: Welcome back to our return to ShowBiz Pizza Place! We're about to do a Steam Powered Giraffe song, and, uh, for those who don't know, Steam Powered Giraffe is an indie steampunk band founded in 2007. Since then, they've been garnerin' a cult following, and we're about to do one of their best songs.
*Mitzi Jr.: Steam Powered Giraffe?
*Billy Bob: Yup.
*Mitzi Jr.: I love them! What song are we doing?
*Billy Bob: Well, I'll give you some hints: TBA.
*Mitzi Jr.: Uh, TBA?
*Billy Bob: Correct! Now here it is.
*(The band performs "TBA" by Steam Powered Giraffe)
==== Intermission 3 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 3====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Billy Bob: Well, howdy, everybody. Before our next song, we're gonna have a little talk with Dook. He's been actin' kinda quiet lately, and, uh, somethin' has to be wrong with him. Come on, Dook!
* Dook: I...
*Fatz: Yeah, come on! We're all ears.
*Dook: Well, okay, if you insist. Uh, it's that there's this woman I loved, and, and...
*Fatz: Go on.
*Dook: I haven't seen her in so long... You remember who she was, right?
*Looney Bird: Actually, that was a blender you were in love with.
*Beach Bear: Yeah, and it wasn't even yours.
*Dook: Really? Huh.
*Beach Bear: Next time, try a girl who's actually sapient and made of flesh and bone.
*(Beat)
*Dook: Who did I love again? (Beach Bear shakes his head)
*(The band performs the Abracadabra Medley from the Magic Night 1984 showtape)
==== Intermission 4 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 4====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* (Beach Bear sings "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen from the Crazy Colander Head Night 1983 showtape)
==== Intermission 5 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 5====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Looney Bird: Billy Bob?
* Billy Bob: Yes, Looney Bird?
* Looney Bird: Remember when I had a chain of restaurants?
* Billy Bob: Oh, yes! Looney Bird's. Back in the early 90s, Mr. Fechter was noticed by former Johnson boss Phil Stacker and the two ended up creating a restaurant chain named after you. But then the two got into a squabble and put new locations on hold.
*Looney Bird: TBA
*Billy Bob: TBA
*Looney Bird: TBA
*(Mitzi Jr. and Mitzi Sr. perform "Firework" by Katy Perry)
==== Intermission 6 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
====Segment 6====
* (The SPT Feature Presentation intro plays)
* Rolfe: Hey, before we get the next show started, how 'bout I tell a few jokes for ya?
* Earl: Rolfe, if I had a nickel for every unfunny joke you ever told, I'd be a millionaire. But you know what, I can't believe I'd ever say that in my life, you're actually funnier than Pasqually!
* Rolfe: WHAT?!
* Earl: Yeah! He needs to give up comedy 'cause he's always gonna get booed by literally everyone at the comedy club. Meanwhile, you get just a few boos from the patrons!
* Rolfe: Well, that's no fun. Having my biggest critic actually compliment me on something.
* Earl: I wasn't complimenting you because that's the lowest bar possible, geek.
* Rolfe: Really?
* (Jasper appears on the left Cyberstar monitor, in front of a city backdrop)
* Jasper: What's with all the ruckus?
* Billy Bob: Jasper, is it true that Rolfe is funnier than Pasqually?
* Jasper: Yes, Billy Bob, it's true. And yes, he always gets booed every time he books a performance at the comedy club.
* (Pasqually appears on the right Cyberstar monitor, in front of a brick wall backdrop with the words "Pasqually's Amateur Hour" on it)
* Pasqually: I once-a knew a guy who was-a so fat--
* Offscreen voice: (bottle breaks) How fat was he?
* Pasqually: Uh...he was so-a fat, that everybody-a liked him, and there was-a nothing funny about-a him... (The crowd boos)
* Offscreen voice: You don't belong here, get out!
* Pasqually: Ah!
* (Pasqually walks away and the right monitor fades to the ShowBiz Pizza Place logo)
* Earl: Told you, Rolfe!
* Rolfe: Hey, Jasper, how about this? I'll challenge Pasqualo--
* Jasper: Pasqually.
* Rolfe: Pasqually, Pasqualo, whatever, to a comedy contest.
* Jasper: Alright. Pasqually?
*(Pasqually reappears on the right monitor, now with a city backdrop)
* Pasqually: Yes, Jasper?
* Jasper: Both of you are gonna tell a joke with the same theme, which is ShowBiz. Crusty?
*(Crusty walks in, next to Jasper)
*Crusty: Already up to speed.
*Jasper: So, Crusty, Looney Bird, and Earl will be your judges, grading on a zero-to-ten scale. Whoever wins gets bragging rights as to who's the better comedian.
* Rolfe and Pasqually: Deal!
* Earl: Oh, no. Somebody please stop this--
* Rolfe: Shut up, little puppet, before I give you the saw blade. Ahem. Knock knock. Who's there? It's the show. Show who? ShowBiz Pizza Place! (laughs hysterically, with Crusty giving a rimshot sound)
* Earl: Rolfe, please remind Fatz to break your neck when the show's over. (Rolfe gives him an angry glare)
*Looney Bird: On a scale of one to ten, he gets a zero from me.
*Earl: I'm giving him a negative two.
*Crusty: Negative four from me.
* Pasqually: My turn! Um, you can call me Show, or you can call me a-Biz. (Crusty buries his hands in his face) You can call me Pizza, or you can call me Place. And you can call me the Show, or you can call-a me the Biz. But you doesn't have to call me ShowBiz! (laughs, with crickets sounding) Rimshot, Crusty?
*Crusty: No, a rimshot would dignify it. You know what, I'm just gonna say it out loud: this is the single worst attempt at a joke I've heard in my life.
*Looney Bird: Tell me about it. I mean, you could've plagiarized from some genuinely funny comedian, but you picked Ray J. Johnson? "You can call me Ray, or you can call me J!" Perfect cure for insomnia there.
* Jasper: Darn straight. If your comedy were as good as your pizza, you'd be a world-class comedian. But you ain't.
*Crusty: Anyway, I'm not giving you a score for that (air-quote) "joke".
*Earl: Me neither.
*Looney Bird: Any score for him is too high in our eyes.
*Pasqually: (bawls) I deserve at least a one!
*Crusty: Look, Pasqually, if you're gonna steal jokes, at least steal from somebody with talent.
*Jasper: Anyway, now that their terrible jokes are over and our judges have given their two cents, here's what the audience thinks of them.
* (Jasper is handed a clipboard by a Cast Member, whose left hand is all that's shown of them onscreen)
* Jasper: Mm-hmm. It says 100% of the audience voted for Rolfe, and zero percent voted for Pasqually. Rolfe wins by a colossal landslide.
*Pasqually: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
* Rolfe: See, Earl, at least there is ONE comedian I'm better than!
*Earl: I repeat: the LOWEST bar possible.
*Jasper: Anyway, that's all for now. See ya later, Billy Bob!
*Billy Bob: See ya later, Jasper!
*(Jasper and Pasqually walk off and the monitors fade back to the ShowBiz and Rock-afire Explosion logos, respectively)
*Billy Bob: Now, folks, this is one of the many things to come here at ShowBiz Pizza Place. So let's cap off our show by performing the very first song we did back in July 1980, "Heartaches" by Al Hoffman!
*(The band performs "Heartaches" by Al Hoffman from the July 1980 showtape)
==== Intermission 7 ====
* (The eight-minute countdown plays, with "TBA", "TBA", and "TBA" playing)
===Trivia===
* Aaron Fechter's introduction was filmed at Fechter Creative Engineering headquarters in Orlando, Florida on October 18, 2011, while the Fechter Creative Engineering headquarters building was being renovated. His appearance was shot in front of the building's Rock-afire Explosion show. For the grand opening of the San Jose, California location (the first location of the revived ShowBiz Pizza Place), Fechter appeared in-person.
* This is the first showtape to feature Uncle Klunk since the "Country Klunk" showtape in 1985, as well as the first to use the Jeff Howell portrayal and characterization since the original 1983 showtape.
*The beginning of the Concept Division Premiere showtape was first shown as a hidden video at the end of the Chuck E. Cheese's Holiday 2011 showtape as a preview for Cast Members.
* This is the first Rock-afire Explosion showtape to feature appearances by Chuck E. Cheese's characters.
* Pasqually's attempt at telling a joke is a reference to a scene from The Muppet Movie in which Fozzie tells the same joke to a fat sailor.
