Shoop eating while talking


How many scenes is Freddie Shoop seen eating while he is talking? I haven't done an official count, so this is off the top of my head.

1. Donuts on the first day of class
2. Donuts when he is in the library
3. Peanut butter and jelly with Wondermutt
4. Pop tarts on when talking to Kirstie Alley on the bench.
5. Apple during the final exam.

I know there has to be one or two scenes I am missing. I just thought it was weird how many times they show him eating while talking.

I just bought this movie on DVD and watched it several times already. I didn't do an official Shoop eating/talking count. (I do think you caught them all though). I did an official how many scenes does Chainsaw either wear his Eat the Rich or Iron Maiden t-shirt.

Eat the Rich:
1. First day of summer school
2. Denise is driving and he's in the back seat
3. On the beach in possesion of liquor
4. In court for possession

Iron Maiden:
1. Amusement park
2. When he takes the driving test
3. Day before the exam
4. Day after the exam

What I noticed though is this caused a few continuity errors or it could just show that Chainsaw and his buddy Dave like to wear the same stuff all the time. Case in point: Chainsaw and Dave are wearing an Eat the Rich and First Mate shirt(respectively) when they're in the car with Denise, then it cuts to a party that night they've change clothes for, then the next scene (presumably the next morning) they have on the eat and first mate wardrobe. Most likely they shot those two scenes on the same day then when they cut it together hoped no one noticed.

PS- Since we're doing weird counts in this movie the character Eakian vomits twice, once at the amusement park and once at the party.

He also eats a whole pie while on a bench with Kirstie Alley. Ha yeah I did notice he's "always" having something to eat.

When Pam was living at his house and made him dinner. She told him to start on the cheese-n-crackers.

Those are brilliant observations. I went to high school with a guy who wore an AC/DC concert tee shirt at least once a week. I knew another guy who wore a Deep Purple concert tee shirt at least once a week. And sometimes he threw in a Billy Squier shirt.

Fred Shoop wasn't an ill mannered slob who spoke with his mouth full. He was merely multitasking.

Ice cream on the beach after he quits. It's when he throws Bob into the ocean and Wondermutt loses him.

This counts because he was talking to Wondermutt.

I feel like there is also more than one other movie where Mark Harmon's characters are eating while talking, though the examples escape me atm. Anyone?
