I decided it would be a good idea to drive to every Rainforest Cafe in North America. You shouldn't be surprised this is on brand for me. Thanks to my buddy @EddyBurback for joining me on this trip, and check out his video if you haven't seen it yet!

For those of you claiming we didn't go to the Rainforest Cafe that you know and love, here is proof we went to every single Rainforest Cafe in North America, if the video of us doing it isn't proof enough lol

Hi
Ball
who tf is pressed about you not going to every cafe. even if you didnt who gives a shit
Lmfao
I find this video to be in poor taste because rain is apart of the word rainforest and is related to the word water. You know what else is related to water - rivers. Do you know what’s happening as we speak? People are falling into the river in Lego city, but you don’t care you just maintain the status quo by continuing to eat jungle fries. Shame on you
The cost of gas alone would deter any sane human being from doing this right now. Never change.
Thank you so much Scott
*spends hundreds of dollars a day on gas*
Eddy: “ima get this $40 steak”
I don’t even realize it until you said it
yes
Scott ur turn, drive to every single “largest _____ in the world”
The real souvenir, was friendship.
Maybe the real Rainforest Cafe, was the friends we made along the way.
yeah, and single-handedly raising gas prices with that truck
Equally cheap and replaceable
Why did you put a comma there
also hi Ross :)
I'll delete this later but I haven't finished the video so don't woosh me if I'm missing something
I love how every time you met up with people, they either had their girlfriends or friends with them, then Danny shows up completely alone in a rainforest cafe shirt and is the happiest person in the whole video. Absolutely fantastic stuff
Laura had to draw the line somewhere
Danny pulls off the NPC act so perfectly in this and the margaritaville video
the shirt says costa rica
@@MJ-lo1mesomewhere in costal rica…
I don't know, he seemed pretty messed up at 15:35
Buccees actually started when a guy thought “Hey, what if gas stations had nice bathrooms?” And then he built a gas station that became incredibly popular because the bathroom was clean
Then he thought “What if everything else about gas stations didn’t suck?” And so he expanded his brand, gave his gas station chain a mascot, and just started selling anything and everything he could think people could ever want from a gas station and made it all high quality
And that’s the story of Buccees!
F*CKING LOVE BUCCCEES
Bucees is great, always plan to make a stop there if I can. He captured the first experience pretty well😂
How bad are bathroom stations there? Are the showers green and toilets barely working and brown?
@@notaduck1595 you have showers at gas stations?
@@AskThe7long haul truckers!
This short film has further reinforced the dynamic of an awkward family road trip, with Eddy playing the role of the pessimistic, divorced father taking his starry-eyed son Ted on a road trip across the States to every Rainforest Cafe. The acting was so good at certain points that it almost seemed like the emotions were real... fantastic work by the cast and crew.
I think this one's gonna win at Sundance.
Indeed
This becomes more noticeable when Danny shows up😂😂
.
So basically a role-reversed Goofy Movie
I can’t believe I just watched a guy having a mental breakdown on a roadtrip to visit every rainforest cafe for 30 minutes and then came here and watched another guy having the best time of his life on said roadtrip
one man's hell is another man's heaven
I can't believe this is my 5th time watching it
Same but the other way around
@@noobchunks ain't no way boy
Hah someone else did this too??
I love how Eddy is basically having a progressive mental breakdown throughout the trip, while Ted's either slowly letting his inner child out, OR having a progressively more intense manic episode.
They both have the Forrest Madness, but it's manifesting different for them both.
Fun fact: Within the span of this video, a thunderstorm took place in a Rainforest Cafe somewhere.
every 20 minutes in Rainforest Cafe, a thunderstorm passes.
this video is awesome, but i think you only really get the true experience of EITHER video after you've watched both. there is nothing funnier than watching Ted lose his mind over the 12th rainforest cafe while you know at that exact same time Eddy was three rainforest cafe business cards away from becoming the American psycho
Paired like fine wine
@@TedNivison john cena
Impressive…very nice…Let’s see Paul Allen’s café

Ok
@@TedNivison Ted’s menacing presence follows him wherever he goes
Ted’s video: *shows him having a fun Roadtrip*
Eddy’s video: *a documentary of his slow decent into madness*
This genuinely feels like hearing detailed a story from two friends, separately, and going "wait, Eddy didn't mention this" and you're going 'this is the world through their eyes'
Except they're both high quality CZcams videos we can watch and gaggle at
How fascinating
Why did I feel a sense home hometown pride when you guys went to Arizona Mills Rainforest Cafe..
is this what rooting for sports feels like
Yes, Jaiden, this is exactly what rooting for sports feels like
This might as well be a sport, challenge other CZcamsrs to go to all Rainforest Cafes and see what happens
@@TedNivison haha
No cause I felt the same way about the Galveston Rainforest Cafe--
it’s like when the football gets a homerun and
I love how eddy’s video is framed like he’s in purgatory, and ted is just so fucking excited for everything and every rainforest cafe. I love that both of these videos compliment each other so fucking well.
fr!!
Yess that’s what i just typed too lmao
I was just about to say this
I was going to type that exact comment OMG!!!!!!!!
Ted vid is way better, if I wanted to watch someone get depressed over eating expensive food I'd watch Donald trump cooking or something
I just watched Eddy's video. Now we know what would happen if Bert and Ernie went on a road trip.
Except Bert and Ernie are actually a couple so it’s different
they have the exact same energy. one guy who embodies misery and ennui and the other who is filled with a simple zest for life
really love the dichotomy between these two videos. everlasting positivity vs deepening depression
Nothing better than a plate of Safari Fries at the Rainforest Cafe, Ted!
jschlatt im going to hog tie you in a rain forest cafe
hello joshua
It's like fries, except you're also on a safari!
so True slatt!
@@jacayuikGD Joshua?
I love how Ted can visit 18 rainforest cafes in a row w/o breaking a sweat (and in fact actually seem to enjoy it more and more), yet the thing that nearly made him lose it was just watching Saving Private Ryan on a loud tv twice at a midas repair shop. Never change Ted.
It’s completely rational! :D
@@dmacrolens monke
Ted: I am having so much fun reliving my childhood!!!
Eddy: Have I ever told you, the definition of insanity?
I watch this video at least once a month because it lives in my head rent free. And y'all inspired me and my roommate to one day attempt a similar challenge with every Margaritaville.
Well, you're in for a surprise, because they just did that with Margaritaville too xD
You are a prophet
You must have known 😂
He knew
Boy do I have some news for you
Ted in contrast to Eddy is a prime example of the duality of man
My thoughts exactly
Yes
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
Perfect
them seeing big green nut with no guy and then big green guy with no nut is another example of the duality of man. gotta be foreshadowing or somethings.
Ted: a wholesome road trip across the country visiting a wacky safari-themed café
Eddy: The story of a man dragging himself through the fiery pits of hell to prove himself to the vile jungle of food mockeries
Eddys was like BTS of a reality tv show, and teds was what was shown on screen
Tracy the tree is elated at his suffering. She cackles with sadistic glee whilst staring into his very being and attempting to seduce him with various rainforest themed parahelalia. She will use her herald, Ted Nivison, to add yet another member to her devout cult following.
This video has convinced me that Ted is indeed a go-go-go-er.
Also, I'm pretty sure Eddy will never go on a road-trip again, unless held at gunpoint.
VILE JUNGLE OF FOOD MOCKERIES
😂😂
Watching this for the third time, I’m realizing that this was just a massive ADHD hyper fixation for Ted… I feel for him so hard.
The fact that this video could've saved the Rainforest Cafe is the funniest part of this video
I like how Eddy’s video made it seem that Ted’s enthusiasm was edited, and Ted’s video made it seem like Eddy’s misery was edited, but each one reveals that they were very real lol
Right
That is the charm here for sure. 💯
Watching this perspective, Eddy’s misery almost seems scripted, but watching his perspective it’s very clear that he was legitimately scarred
Like 666?
ok
Eddy was being a big baby. Ik it was kinda boring eating at the same place again and again but there is far worse a person could be doing
@@ussr7714 we don't know what Eddie was going through. If he gets carsick then driving for 3 straight weeks with your only reprieve being greasy, chain restaurant food, that'd be fucking miserable.
@@ussr7714 ok "USSR 7"
i love teds delusional positivity and eddie's willingness to just go with it
I remember watching eddys video first and feeling so bummed after since he mainly just complained. Then I watched Ted's video, and i have come back to this video dozens of times now because this video is truly so sweet to me because he is genuinely happy to go on a long road trip around the country just for a restaurant. Thats nothing against eddy, i just love ted's wholesome additude throughout the video.
teds is more childish vs eddy's or more realistic if you actually think going to that many of the SAME places is exciting then thats more childish behavior. I would lose my mind by the 3rd and just leave and never come back just seeing one of them made me feel stressed. and even if i was kid child lizzy HATED loud noises it would really mess with me i would actually have a panic attack and cry...
Eddys is realistic to the actual experience of taking 3 weeks to go to the same mediocre restaraunt almost every single day while also driving extremely long days lol
Mediocre? You don’t like Galveston?
the fact that ted never once mentions that he ordered mozzarella sticks at nearly every location that they visited really speaks the passion for his journey
Lol yeah
he did didnt he?

As a Texan who frequents and adores the Galveston location (and a Bucees enjoyer), this video made me *abnormally* happy
Eddy’s and Teds videos are like completely opposite vibes. Ones a descent into madness and ones like a child at Disney world
its genuinely so funny watching this video after eddy's because you can just tell the difference in their experience. eddy's video painted the trip as absolutely miserable and an obscure form of torture, and ted's video makes the trip seem extraordinarily whimsical and overall like weeks of pure, unadulterated joy
Was thinking the same thing
Would be interesting to edit them both together.
Agreed! i enjoyed this too much!
"WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER 17 RAIN FOREST CAFES?"
"You Eddie... I'd still have you..."
You could make a road trip comedy based off of this
I just watched 2x 30-minute videos of guys eating at every Rainforest cafe in America from alternating perspectives. What a time to be alive.
I started this video right after Eddy’s LOL
Could someone edit their videos together in chronogical order?
Edit: Someone already did!
We livr in an societys
So fun and silly. Gotta enjoy the random bits of life.
@@HiperPivociarz who? Where do I find it?
The screaming about “you better be grateful” on the road trip is something I think a great many people can relate to.

I love rainforest cafe too!
The fact that you spent three straight weeks together and both managed to make two separate but equally entertaining and engaging videos is impressive! I mean, you both do this for a living so it’s not surprising that you know how to do your jobs but still!! Thanks for the laughs Tedward
the first thing that stuck out to me was how they chose to edit so differently, good shit from both of da boys

@@kitty_strangler1402 LMAO yep that’s me!!
Every time I have a migraine I remind myself that it's not that bad bc I could be on a road trip to every rainforest cafe
0:55 just knowing how low eddy gets during the trip makes this innocent optimism so much more heartbreaking
Seeing this journey from Ted's perspective after seeing it from Eddy's already, you would not think that this was the same trip.
To me this was the perspective of the "extrovert" of the two friends lol
I'm doing exactly the same thing and find that hilarious. Perspective is everything I guess.
Exactly, I feel kinda bad for Eddy
Literally
That's because Eddie is a typical millennial, I knew he would complain the whole time.
I love how Eddy's video is edited like a horror movie slowly regressing into the madness that was the worst experience of his life while Ted's is a comedy detailing the greatest and most magical road trip he has ever been on

Couldn't have imagined a better sponsor to reflect how it feels like to become worse at the end of a journey than BetterHelp.
I love this video. My sister and my niece (6yo) are currently on a roadtrip vacation, and when I found out they were visiting in-laws in Katy TX for a few days, I remembered this vid and I told them that they're in a city with an RFC, and they gave it a shot!
My niece absolutely loved it (she loves animals, nature, and french fries, so you can imagine who had lots of SAFARI FRIES), and wants to come back! When I called to see how they were doing, despite all my niece had seen, the highlight to her trip was the RFC.
We may joke about it, but this place is truly magical to children.
Oh yeah, also my sister thought it was pretty nice and now brother-in-law is dreading visiting his parents, because he knows that from now on he has to take his daughter to the RFC every time they go.
From Ted’s perspective, it’s a grand adventure with two beloved but imperfect heroes.
From Eddy’s perspective it’s a grueling quest with torture every step of the way that makes you feel like you’re trapped in a repeating purgatory with an annoying sidekick alongside you.
So it's Sam and Frodo?
@@Delta_Red 🤣🤣👍🏻

yeh cool, stfu. Saw this comment 400 times already, be original for once in your life
As the designer of the original prototype Rainforest Cafes (90's), I was thoroughly entertained watching this...thank you. (Mall of America, Schaumburg, Gurnee, and Disney....yes, I designed the erupting volcano). If you ever want some funny stories about when these were first developed let me know.
I want a funny rainforest cafe story
I too would enjoy a funni rainforest cafe story
im quite curious, what are some stories?
what are these stories you speak of?
Give us the stories!
Fun fact: according to google trends, July 2022 has the highest amount of searches for rainforest cafe (in Canada) than any other year
Having seen Eddy's video beforehand, it's quite amusing to observe the stark difference in the enjoyment you experienced compared to his complete meltdown. This video made my day honestly, thanks for that.
I watched Eddy's version literally this morning and the difference between both your moods is so funny
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
i saw that video in my recommended but didnt watch it and thought to myself "man i remember that one video where ted went to the rainforest cafe. going to every one in the country sounds like something he would do." then like 2 hours later this video gets uploaded
Especially the Katy mills rfc
I watched Eddy’s version yesterday and loved it, especially the bathroom animals. Turn to today seeing this video and the moods of each are complete opposite but brilliant when watched one after another
The WILD difference between Ted and Eddy’s videos absolutely sends me. I thought Eddy had just edited Ted to be way too happy and enthusiastic about the whole thing, but here we are lmao
ok

I love how Ted just capitalizes on Eddie's psychological torture in this. We need to see this duo more.
Imagine this just becomes a yearly thing and he does it again
Haha, this actually reminds me of a funny story about Ted Nivison and the Rainforest Cafe! A couple years back, I was actually at a Rainforest Cafe with my family and I saw none other than Ted Nivison! Being the huge fan that I was, I thought it might be nice to get a picture with him or something, so I decided to approach him and say hi. As soon as I was about to open my mouth though, Ted shushed me and said, "Do you really think you have the RIGHT to talk to ME? Do you know who I am?" He then grabbed my arm and snapped it in two, watching me writhe in agony as I fell to the ground. He took some of the ornamental plates they had at the Cafe and smashed them over my head. He then took some of the plastic toys of dart frogs and other rainforest animals and shoved them down my throat. Finally, he pulled out his trusty hammer and snapped both of my knees in two. He swore to me, "If I EVER see your stupid face again, you'll face the TRUE wrath of the Kneebreaker..." Classic Ted!
i love the ted he is such funny
Classic Ted :)
Had me in the first half ngl
Truly, he follows the path of Bamba
Nice to see another positive fan interaction.
Seeing random youtubers to join their crew in other cafes is like suddenly getting a side quest where a character from the previous game helps you out.
Yes!
yeah but don’t get why he got the same person at 14:55 and 23:33 to do it twice and introduce them with a different name? Is there like an inside joke I don’t know about where they just call him different names or……….
Or like a Disney Sitcom when a celebrity cameos and they have that stock "wooo" and laugh play.
@@butterflymonster9726 me too honestly, kind of strange
I don't know why but I keep coming back to Ted and Eddy's road trip videos. For some reason I actually enjoy them that much and if they did something like going to every Bubba Gump location I would watch that.
The fact that neither of them are looking at the road 27:52 gets me every time
"I did something really stupid when I was gone." Perfect start to the video.

You have been introduced to the Ted Nivison experience Crumb. It’s only due time before Ted will come to your house, climb through your window, give you an autograph, and will then give you a pretty good excuse to go to the emergency room. Welcome to the club!

Its jokes are funny and fresh, the "plot" of the vid doesnt get old and you are always 100% all-ears invested in everything that happens because of the pure light hearted, boredom killing, scenic adventure that you are witnessing from someone actually do.
This vid checks all my boxes when it comes to my favorite types of videos and i fucking love it

I like how Ted is so enthusiastic about everything in this video and in Eddy’s video he sounded like he was holding a shotgun under his own chin during the whole voice over recording. One way out. One way to escape the rainforest. Also, I live just outside Nashville and visit Opry Mills fairly often (for the LEGO store) and to see Ted and Eddy wander in the same mall I know so well is a bit like seeing Bigfoot in the background of a family picture.
I felt the same way when I saw them in the MOA for the Bloomington one, so fun to see places you know so well in a CZcams vid.
That was the perfect way to describe that thank you :)
Eddy glossed over the Michigan one and it was barely mentioned here lol
I always went to the Opry Mills aquarium restaurant when I was a kid and I always felt superior to the ppl going to the RFC next door because ours had real animals lol
me too!! i was so happy
This has such an insane rewatch value, it's crazy. Ive watched it at least 5 times so far.
11:11 can't forget Tracy Tree. She was arrested for kidnapping children
I remember meeting ted on this journey and what a lovely time it was. Eddy was sobbing, chained to the table while ted took photos of every fish they had at the location in ontario. When I approached Ted to say hello his smile fell and he stared at me dead-eyed and breathing violently through his nostrils. By the time I exited the restaurant Ted was long gone, along with Eddie who was still chained up. As I was walking to the bus stop to go home, I heard a car start up and I turned around just in time to see Ted in the drivers seat, grinning from ear to ear, right before he ran me over with his 2002 toyota tacoma in the color forest green. Such a pleasure to finally meet Ted Nivison and to be able to watch his adventures from my hospital bed!
I suppose this is inspired by Jerma psycho-posting?
How sweet 🥰🥰
@@JudgeNicodemus It's mostly a meme from the Chuckle Sandwich podcast that Ted Nivision is a violent person.
@@JudgeNicodemus this has been going on for a while in Ted's comment sections. I dread to imagine Jerma and Ted in the same room. Together they would be fear and insanity incarnate
Indeed
The long awaited alternate POV despite only taking 6 days to release. The juxtaposition of Eddie's sanity slipping psycological horror and Ted's happy jovial buddy comedy is truly an innovation in cinema.
This is the definition of a buddy comedy.

This proves a theory of mine that anytime you see someone in a clearly non rental car across the country, you never know if they’re just up to some absolutely bonkers and pointless trip while crossing this god foresaken land
We mortals could never understand them
I once saw an old car on the other side of the country from it's license plate and it had text I couldn't catch (it was dirty and small, and the car was moving away), but under the text there was a different bumper sticker that said "SUBSCRIBE"
I drove a 30 hour round trip, 15 hours nonstop each way, in my own car. I’ve driven long trips just to see friends for a day or two and then go home. So yes, absolutely bonkers.
As someone who takes multiple cross country trips and sleeps in my own car - youre not wrong.
Fr especially when you live in a small town/middle of nowhere. It’s like “why?”
I’ve watched this for the first time. I can confidently say, this is the saddest most moving documentary/vlog I have ever seen. I’ve been crying for the past ten minutes
22:36 that shark came from an aquaruim near me theres also an eel from that aquarium that made it there too
i love the clear difference being that Eddy's felt like a hostage situation, and that this one feels like a fun buddy-buddy roadtrip movie.
It’s like Trains, Planes and Automobiles and Eddy is Steve Martin and Ted is John Candy
Watching Ted's jovial adventure after Eddy's existential crisis is so funny

Man, i dunno about collecting all RFC glass cups but the one from Niagara Falls makes a really special souvenir. Thanks for sharing this journey! This was such a fun watch!
Fun fact, not only is there a Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs, but there's also a place called "T-Rex Cafe" that's from the same people that made RFC, and it's all dinosaur themed. Prehistoric environment, dino animatronics everywhere, and instead of a thunderstorm, it has meteor showers. It's really freaking cool.
That's awesomeeee
Yes! I loved going to those as a kid! There was one at the Legends in Kansas City but it closed down which broke my heart.

1:48 is the foreshadowing to the Margaritaville video. We should have known!
As a Texan, I have no idea why they’re all so popular except for the Galveston one. That’s the location I have the most memories at and had a birthday at. The water ride is super cool and every night the big volcano outside smokes. I think they simulate an eruption but I can’t remember. Every time we drive down there there’s a bunch of people there
as a texan, i think that watching saving private ryan at full blast at a midas at 7:30am is the most texan thing i have heard besides going to bucee's. how they managed to get through so much of the state and never went to one until florida is astounding
I know!!! When he seemed surprised at bucee’s existing I had to do a double take bc I genuinely forgot they weren’t a nationwide thing
I’ll say, considering they should’ve passed 2 locations on the way to San Antonio, 2 or 3 on the way to Houston, and one more heading out of Houston
@@onyourleft4194 it’s definitely not national, but as of now they’re in a few states
I like that this video is more about the trip as a whole and Eddy's is more about each restaurant and his descent into Madness, they really complement each other lol
These are actually a masterclass on how to tell a story in different ways from the same event. Definitely really interesting to see what each person left in or kept out.
This really is a cinematic masterpiece, sometimes I forget how talented Ted is as a director
I love watching your passion for this chain. You do you. I strive to be just as passionate about something in my life.

Eddy: Heart of Darkness
Ted’s video: A wonderful and optimistic journey reliving childhood at Rainforest Cafe
Eddy’s video: A psychological thriller of a man’s decline into insanity
@@StormX6 yeah, heart of darkness/ Apocalypse Now
Conraad? Man of culture.
@@Karan-Aujla fuck conrad, all my homies hate joe conrad, Heart of Darkness' idea of "a heart of darkness" was based off of racist tropes about people and civilization. Check out Chinua Achebe's An Image of Africa for a really interesting read

Ted’s editing and scripting is impeccable, his pacing is immaculate, I love this man
the urge to ask my parents to take me, towns away, to go to the nearest Rainforest Cafe is STRONG lol
The only thing that could make Eddy's video of absolute devastation and suffering through something so incredibly needless and stupid, is this, Ted's video of unbridled joy and enthusiasm like an overjoyed youthful child experiencing his favorite thing over and over again without a hint of it getting old or less pleasing to experience, these two are the yin and yang of youtube and their existence together is perfect harmony.
Never change, either of you, I love it
this was worded so beautifully loved reading this !
I'd never heard of Rainforest Cafe a week ago now i've watched over an hour worth of content on it between this and Eddy's video
yea
The only other recent person to post anything about Rainforest Cafe that I can find besides these two is how to drink
I live really close to the Gurnee Mills one.
Same. XD
I LEGITIMATELY feel bad for you, honestly, because of how LIFE CHANGING it is as a kid man, my heart aches of you missing out on it man
Now there’s a fantastic sequel. Thank you Ted.
