Line 29:
** He took it out as a reward to his fans on the score page for the second popularity poll, after placing somewhere around eighth. The [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] [[Lampshade Hanging]] in the Dark Tournament made [[Chekhov's Gun|its role in the late stages of the Sensui arc]] play a lot better.
* Jack, from ''[[Shanghai Youma Kikai]]'', is literally never seen without a cigarette.
** Likewise, his ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' counterpart, Jean Havoc, is only seen without one in a few hospital scenes.
* ''[[Hatsukoi Limited]]'' has Misaki Yamamoto and her habit of having a lollipop in her mouth.
** With the reasoning being that the guy who first stuck one in her mouth could be her first crush.
Line 49:
* Kyouko, in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' is always shown eating snack foods, and even fights with a piece of [[Pocky]] in her mouth.
* Amaimon in ''[[Blue Exorcist]]'' almost always has either a lollipop or one of his fingernails in his mouth.
* In ''[[Big Hero 6]]'', Go Go Tomago is a cynical young woman who often expresses her snark through bubble gum.
 
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Batman]]'' examples:
** Detective Harvey Bullock from ''[[Batman]]''. In the comics he's generally chomping on a cigar; in the animated series, it's a toothpick.
** And then of course there's Matches Malone.
** Also, Harley Quinn often chews bubble gum when out of costume.
* ''[[Lucky Luke]]'' originally smoked, until he traded his cigarette for a blade of grass.
** Lampshaded in ''Marcel Dalton'': "Cigar? -I stopped. -I forgot. Blade of grass? -No thanks, I'm stopping."
Line 60 ⟶ 62:
* In IDW's version of Transformers, Kupp is given a cigar-like piece of metal that he chews on.
* Dr. Will Magnus, creator of the ''[[Metal Men]]'', is hardly ever seen without a pipe in his mouth. During ''52'', he admits that he doesn't smoke, and that the pipe is "just to chew on." Another character directly namedrops this as an oral fixation.
 
 
== [[Film]] ==
* Rusty of the ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' trilogy is almost always eating something during his scenes. It may be a second to finish up or he'll eat through the whole scene.
** For that matter ANY film with Brad Pitt in it will show him eating, inspiring many [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|Stupid Sexy Flanders moments in people everywhere]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140530043333/http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-actors-who-do-exact-same-thing-in-every-movie_p2/?wa_user1=2&wa_user2=Movies+%26+TV&wa_user3=blog&wa_user4=feature_module Cracked] mentions it in an article.
* There are two of them in the [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney animated film]] ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]''. Commander Rourke chomps on a matchstick and Mrs. Packard is constantly smoking cigarettes.
* Telly Savalas's character in ''Lisa and the Devil'' alternates between lollipops and cigarettes—to comic effect, at first, but it gets creepier as the film goes on. Since it's [[Kojak|Telly]] one gathers that it's a [[Shout-Out]] all the way through.
Line 108 ⟶ 109:
* In the "Two A-Holes..." sketch series from ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', the title characters go around constantly chewing gum. In one sketch, they were told to take their gum out. They did so, but their mouth motions continued anyway, apparently out of habit.
* DJ from ''[[Sh15uya]]'' seems very fond of lollipops, too.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
** The [[Doctor Who|Tenth Doctor]] has a tendency to lick things or put things in his mouth unusually often. Apparently, he has special Time Lord senses in his tongue—but we think it's just the [[Fan Service]]. (He seems to do this a lot less after Rose leaves at the end of Series 2. Hmm...)
*** The Eleventh Doctor tries tasting some grass once to figure out what's going on. Amy asks him if he's always been that disgusting, and he tries to explain that it's a fairly recent development. He never does it again.
** D.I. Peter Carlisle in the BBC miniseries ''[[Blackpool]]'' is almost always eating, & also played by [[David Tennant]]. More [[Fan Service]] here.
** Plus, he licks his lips in a very manic way when playing Barty Crouch Junior, so it's probably a Tennant thing. On the commentary for the second series episode "The Impossible Planet", David Tennant stops the conversation dead when he says that he wants to chew on the Ood tentacles... and then describes what they would feel like in his mouth. In detail.
Line 128 ⟶ 130:
* Dr Chase from ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' seems to be constantly putting pens in his mouth, especially in the earlier seasons.
* Don Eppes from [[Numb3rs]] is often seen chewing gum during climactic moments—he seems to do it when he's keyed up, waiting for a suspect to appear.
 
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 158 ⟶ 159:
* The Engineer in the [[Half Life]] [[Expansion Pack]] ''Opposing Force'' always had a lit cigarette in his mouth, which he uses to ignite his blowtorch when asked to break a door open.
* Red and most other Caninu of ''[[Solatorobo]]'' tend to like chewing on bones, and even have a variety of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaEiJb1UPSY bite styles] to express different personalities. Apparently, girls are considered [[Japanese Delinquents|delinquints]] [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jUtxBOsFyg/TNs9bvGuSqI/AAAAAAAABKQ/ku9h7HkA7cM/s1600/03.png if they walk around chewing on them].
* In ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' games (specifically 10 and 11) Cassie Cage likes to chew bubble gum, even using it in one of her Fatalities.
 
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 170 ⟶ 171:
* Jet from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' constantly chews on and holds a blade of grass in his mouth, but he loses it along with much of his [[badass]]ery when he {{spoiler|gets brainwashed.}} [[Genre Savvy|Sokka]] even tries to see if replacing it would help. It doesn't.
{{quote|- "[[Avatar: The Abridged Series|If we weren't TV-Y7, this would totally be a cigarette]]."}}
**:* Although it probably wouldn't, since he's got the 'countryside' and 'banchou' things going and a cigarette would give a rather different impression. Plus, the invention of the cigarette-rolling-machine is a classic instance of supply generating demand - pipes and snuff being the order of the day before then. Even if the Fire Nation had invented one, where would a poor earth kingdom bandit get them?

* Two in ''[[G.I. Joe]]''; Breaker is literally always chewing gum and is willing to disobey a direct order to discard it, while Clutch, somewhat similarly, has been known to chew on the same toothpick for months.
* ''[[King of the Hill]]'s'' Dale Gribble is rarely seen without a cigarette in his mouth.
Line 182:
* An Ogdenville farmer on the [[Simpsons]] has a piece of straw in his mouth.
* Newborn filly Pumpkin Cake in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has the odd habit of chewing on just about anything she can find—except food. Tableclothes, bath towels, stuffed toys, rubber chickens, etc.
 
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
Line 191 ⟶ 190:
* [[Hayden Panettiere]] seems to have this weird compulsion to lick things.
* [[Foo Fighters|Dave Grohl]] is always seen chewing gum on stage, including whilst singing.
* Baseball players in general chew gum or tobacco (as per personal preference). Supposedly, it relaxes them in what is normally a stressful situation, and in particular it also helps keep the mouth moist in the dry baseball diamond.
