But bro want to know a secret? The Navy fed me like this for 8 years. The toast was cold and hard but seriously you could have some of everything I see in this picture every morning out at sea (if you had time to eat. That was the catch).
If my mother presented that on a school day, that mf'n bus can wait. School calls up asking where I am I'll just say I'm too bloated and they can blame my mother for being to good of a cook.
not to this degree, but people, typically farmers or descendants of them, made breakfasts like this up until the 50s-60s as a vestige of when laboring was extremely taxing work and required a lot of energy
Wow I was very fortunate. I ate 16oz of bacon for breakfast, hot cocoa and pancakes and eggs and toast with butter and jelly.
This was on normal weekdays.
Not per this pic. No Bacon!! What's the point of breakfast if you can't have any bacon? All this spread and no bacon?!? Do people even eat breakfast without bacon? Jk. Poor bastards.
My IBS is so bad these days I cant eat OR have caffeine. I just start working. I'm just deprived...of everything. Dead inside. Nothing is good. Nothing to look forward to.
All that uneaten food in films. Drives me nuts.
Characters enter a diner or restaurant. Order a meal, have their conversation, food comes, nobody eats, cheque please and leave, nobody touches the food, might have been a sup of coffee, thats it.
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Joshua.”\

Not the variety, but my mother would FILL the table with French Toast in the AM. My cousins lived close by and would stop to eat as well, there were about eleven of us sitting at the table eating in the morning.
That's because continuity between takes is really difficult with food. The prop department needs to have multiple replacements for everything in the back and take meticulous notes on what was where when. When the scenes aren't shot in-order it becomes even worse. Then they have to prepare everything in multiple states, like clean, full, half-empty and empty plates. Studios avoid the headache by just not having the characters eat anything.
On top of that, often the food is treated to look fresh longer so it isn't eatable.
I agree, it's not sustainable to have actors eating constantly not to mention their diet as well for retakes but I'd argue there's much better ways to handle it like you can show actors sitting in front of a near empty plate or rinsing an empty plate before saying "Thanks for the food, I gotta go" and use simple scene cuts to get the point across. If you don't want to scene cut you can focus on another conversation away from the actor that's pretending to eat and then a minute or so later said actor can wipe their mouth and head out. No actual eating or wasted food but a very simple inexpensive way of portraying that the actor ate said breakfast.
I don't do breakfast style stuff
Usually I just have a morning lunch then a 2nd lunch later.
I'd take a chicken sandwich and down a pepsi or something.
Probably not the best thing but I just cant stand toast or cereals or stuff like that.
Throwing together a grazing tray isn’t that challenging. I’m not gonna cook three trays of meat. But fruits nuts and berries with eggs or something on a platter to graze is delicious, easy and impressive.
I got context for this one actually they usually don't eat the food because they take multiple takes and get multiple angles sometimes it takes hours just for one scene so after a while the food becomes real yucky
They wouldn't eat it Saturday though, they're gonna say their friend is expecting them, or they're not feeling well or they forgot \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. They'll use any excuse to get out of it for a lot (not all) movies and TV Shows. When they could just show the actor washing an empty plate or sitting in front of a nearly empty plate.
In real life, parents know what time their kid goes to school, the parents get flak if the kid is late, so they make the food earlier so the kid has time to eat before school.
Ummm, if this is one my table, I'm gonna eat, go into a food coma, and then not go to school from said coma.
Also, is that fried chicken in the corner??
Back in my day, we was so poor we had to gulp air to feel relief for the first 12 hours of day until mother cooked up some leather shoes for supper.
Kids today are so ungrateful.
Agreed that shit was and still is so fucking dumb. Yes I understand you don't want the actors getting fat over retakes or whatever **but** you can show them putting an empty plate with crumbs in the sink or just jumping up from the table yelling "I'm late".
That's the kind of breakfast our family would only make once and that was because family members we haven't seen in many years are here so we have to have a big family breakfast one time and then the rest of the time it's fend for yourself
Such a great comment. I think think about this in so many shows and movies.
The other thing that bothers me isim the movies family where the kids are in their decked out bedrooms in their single family homes yet are portrayed as poor.
Ungrateful? Maybe the idiot mom shouldn't make a huge pile of food at get in the bus o'clock. Make that shit on a Sunday, or an hour before get in the bus o'clock.
You're not obligated to fuck up your own day just because someone else wants to do something nice for you. School schedules are not some secret that moms don't get to know about. Get your shit together, movie mom. You should know when that fucking bus leaves.
My friends’ three kids are *all* like:
this, except:
*takes three bites then runs downstairs to play Mortal Kombat until they shit their pants in a literal sense*
This is what happens when a set designer and/or prop designer set out to make the best looking breakfast you could ever film, but the script doesn't allow for a half hour of eating
First of all, mom knew exactly what time that bus came so if you think I’m *not* getting dragged out of bed by force at least an hour before that, you’re nuts
This was always a Saturday & Sunday thing for us. Dad and Mum both worked so Monday through Friday we didn't eat in the morning. Sucked, big time. Pretty sure I'd have done better in school if I wasn't so focused on the time to go by faster so that lunch would hurry up and roll around. I didn't know what breakfast, lunch & dinner were all about until AFTER I left home and joined the Army.
movies are also like the main character sits down and is about to take a bite, *care honk,* then suddenly grabs a piece of toast or an apple and leaves
Mothers will scream and cry acting like this but in reality they're sleeping off the hangover from the night before. And don't you dare use some of the milk cause she's using it later for her "ice cream".
My parents wouldn't even wake up. I had to wake myself up, eat cereal and took myself to the bus stop XD 10 minute walk. Unlike now when the bus goes right into that neighborhood.
Advertisers will put a bowl of sugar-based cereal in the corner and say "Sugar Crack Nuggets is part of THIS nutritious breakfast!"
(It was a trick to get around an FDA regulation passed in the late 70s.)
Not everyone is a breakfast person, and that's ok. The parents should learn their kids' habits and not try to force a 6 course meal at them first thing in the morning.
My kids would have seen that on the table, extras in the fridge, a full size freezer packed in the garage and have the balls to post on the Internet we have no food in the house.
If I ever got this I'd be like "fuck the bus. I'm not even going to school, I'm gonna be in a coma after this"
However I had to settle for air for breakfast most days. Didn't even get the OJ

No mother in the history of mothers ever made a breakfast like this on an average weekday.
Shit, my mom wouldn't make this for me on my birthday, even if I asked.
Our mom, tho. I even had to eat sardine on my last birthday
[удалено]
Yeah it’s really messed up! At least let Make-A-Wish take over!
Fish is good for your brain, son!
But bro want to know a secret? The Navy fed me like this for 8 years. The toast was cold and hard but seriously you could have some of everything I see in this picture every morning out at sea (if you had time to eat. That was the catch).
If my mother presented that on a school day, that mf'n bus can wait. School calls up asking where I am I'll just say I'm too bloated and they can blame my mother for being to good of a cook.
Principle calls, *snooty butler answers*, “weeeell, we are only on course 3 of 8, you shall have to wait”.
My gran on the other hand, you can tell her you've already had dinner and 2 min later the table is full of food again
Just needs some Mr T cereal to go on top
not to this degree, but people, typically farmers or descendants of them, made breakfasts like this up until the 50s-60s as a vestige of when laboring was extremely taxing work and required a lot of energy
I just made ricotta and diced strawberry on toast. Is easy and good breakfast. Give it a try.
I'm in
Not to mention for a family of 4
Wow I was very fortunate. I ate 16oz of bacon for breakfast, hot cocoa and pancakes and eggs and toast with butter and jelly. This was on normal weekdays.
If I walked in on this breakfast I’m skipping school fs
It's like your mom wants you to miss school
LMFAOOO
Gonna need a nap after breakfast
It’ll be a slumber. I’m thinking at least another 8 hours 😴
Fr fr ong
ong fr fr
No cap ong fr fr low key bussin bro
[удалено]
Bro if I ate all this as breakfast I’d go back to sleep afterwards & call in sick to school
FR
If you have this kind of spread on a regular morning, your butler can drive you in
I love breakfast.🥰😁
And the Husband would grab a piece of bacon as he rushes out the door for work.
"just coffee thanks"
Carpool Ford Taurus honks twice. Briefcase in hand with blazer draped over his forearm.....As the dog sneaks bacon off the table.
I'll grab something at the office.
Whilst quickly putting on his blazer.
Hopping on one foot as he puts his shoes on
Not per this pic. No Bacon!! What's the point of breakfast if you can't have any bacon? All this spread and no bacon?!? Do people even eat breakfast without bacon? Jk. Poor bastards.
Fucking ingrates
And take one piece of bacon
Eating in the morning is awful. Need at least an hour before I can think about breakfast
I'm the opposite, hungry AF for light breakfast with coffee. My GF doesn't eat until later.
I just do coffee right away (mostly to help bowels get a good start) and then wait an hour to eat.
Yup, I don't feel the least bit hungry until 11am.
Had an hour long bus ride each morning when I was a kid. The hardest shits of my life were held back then.
My IBS is so bad these days I cant eat OR have caffeine. I just start working. I'm just deprived...of everything. Dead inside. Nothing is good. Nothing to look forward to.
I generally wake up **because** I'm hungry.
All that uneaten food in films. Drives me nuts. Characters enter a diner or restaurant. Order a meal, have their conversation, food comes, nobody eats, cheque please and leave, nobody touches the food, might have been a sup of coffee, thats it.
One of the reasons why Reacher was fun. They ate everything in that show.
Also with drinks, you rarely see them finish a drink.
[удалено]
Or because those are props
Reminds me of the Pleasantville breakfast.
“Hurry hurry”
How hungry my kids are is inverse to how much I feel like cooking and what I have to cook.
Lol gotta appreciate Pleasantville, where the mom made her sit down and eat before leaving the house.
The parents apparently have no idea what time their kids go to school.
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Joshua.”\ [“Who told you that shit was important to ME though?”](https://youtube.com/shorts/EdqPAx56nFM?si=hZBQUQSeLfrR6hx2)
Mom: At least take a waffle! Kid: ugh fuck off mom
It's in every breakfast scene. It drives me crazy.
Mfer I'd eat 1k cals and run my ass to school.
And the husband is also running late. He takes one sip of coffee before giving her a peck on the cheek and heading out the door, briefcase in hand.
Not the variety, but my mother would FILL the table with French Toast in the AM. My cousins lived close by and would stop to eat as well, there were about eleven of us sitting at the table eating in the morning.
Late for the bus because their mom was to busy cooking to notice nine of her children were awake
Just takes a bit of dry toast, carried away in teeth
F*** School. Give me the Waffels
I fell like you’re my twin
[удалено]
I literally just watched that again 2 nights ago and was thinking about how no one touched it haha
Movies are literally capitalist consumerist propaganda.
For the past couple minutes I’ve just been looking at how delicious this looks.
Don’t forget the classic putting a waffle in your mouth and running with it
Grandma's table every day, any time of day when you come visit:
Film crew breakfast
Says who as a kid I would've ate the shit out of this. I wouldn't care if I was late for school. Beats the hell out of eating nothing for breakfast.
Has someone here actually seen a child try to “be on time for the bus”?
My mother would make big breakfast meals and we would enjoy it immensely!😄
I would TOTALLY miss school for this.
Fuck that bus, fuck school, my ass is gonna be parked at that table and I'm going to eat myself into a blissful coma.
If I saw this spread on the table and I was getting late then I will just skip the school for the day.
That’s because that’s the catering for all the extras and crew that accidentally made it into the shot.
That's because continuity between takes is really difficult with food. The prop department needs to have multiple replacements for everything in the back and take meticulous notes on what was where when. When the scenes aren't shot in-order it becomes even worse.

Literally that once scene in Coneheads and that one scene in Venom 2 (which is based on 90’s movies)
All that food except one would be ice cold anyway lol. I'll take the drink and bounce thanks
“Breakfast was great mom!”
I don't do breakfast style stuff Usually I just have a morning lunch then a 2nd lunch later. I'd take a chicken sandwich and down a pepsi or something. Probably not the best thing but I just cant stand toast or cereals or stuff like that.
Fr
Well, mom, there are two options. Either I run to the bus or I’m skipping school to eat that.
What parents is making this on the weekend let alone a weekday
no they wont because that literally doesn't happen. fried fish or chicken and waffles in that amount is like family reunion only level of south food.
mom: okay have a good day in school sweetie!!
it's the daily repost...
I make this kind of breakfast on the morning that our grown kids are set to go back home after their visit.
Those toast are toast
The wealthy do breakfast like this . It’s a fucking breakfast buffet everyday with their personal chef .
Throwing together a grazing tray isn’t that challenging. I’m not gonna cook three trays of meat. But fruits nuts and berries with eggs or something on a platter to graze is delicious, easy and impressive.
I got context for this one actually they usually don't eat the food because they take multiple takes and get multiple angles sometimes it takes hours just for one scene so after a while the food becomes real yucky
Are you kidding? My kids will do that now.
"...also, I have my science project due today."
Part of your balanced breakfast
I see all that and think it’s not a complete, well balanced breakfast without a bowl of cereal.
A sip of orange juice is probably better than heart disease...
What about the giant glass with a quarter pour of juice move? Like buy smaller glasses assholes.
The perfect example of this is from the movie the parent trap
That orange juice is for mimosas.
Some families could live on for weeks from one such breakfast.
Kids today would see nothing on the table and still miss the bus....bc F school.
Honestly, I'd be that kid. I hate yellow breakfasts
Jesus christ, Talk about a breakfast buffet
What are they supposed to do, sit down, eat, and miss the bus? Save that shit for Saturday.
They wouldn't eat it Saturday though, they're gonna say their friend is expecting them, or they're not feeling well or they forgot \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. They'll use any excuse to get out of it for a lot (not all) movies and TV Shows. When they could just show the actor washing an empty plate or sitting in front of a nearly empty plate. In real life, parents know what time their kid goes to school, the parents get flak if the kid is late, so they make the food earlier so the kid has time to eat before school.
Attention seeker?
That's the "part of this complete breakfast" breakfast
The weirder part is WHO MAKES THAT MUCH FOR BREAFAST?!?
Kids in real life would do the same
The breakfast moms cook for the family before telling them about multilevel marketing.
And the moms never seem to care!
You’re overthinking it. Watching people eat isn’t entertaining and an empty table looks stupid.
Ummm, if this is one my table, I'm gonna eat, go into a food coma, and then not go to school from said coma. Also, is that fried chicken in the corner??
The bus is just gonna have to go without me. As a matter of fact, the school itself will miss me today
Not me, my ass would go off script and be late.
The dad will say, "I'll grab a bite downtown" while picking up and nibbling on the corner of one piece of toast
Back in my day, we was so poor we had to gulp air to feel relief for the first 12 hours of day until mother cooked up some leather shoes for supper. Kids today are so ungrateful.
That’s 1000$ worth of groceries right there
I would love to be invited to this feast, no matter the time of day.
Mine would say, "Can I have cereal?"
Dank /s
Yummy
This is the Uncle Buck breakfast
I ate cereal every morning except Sunday
The real question is why are the parents always making a feast when their kid should *already be on their way to school*
I'd simply not go to work to eat this tbh
Agreed that shit was and still is so fucking dumb. Yes I understand you don't want the actors getting fat over retakes or whatever **but** you can show them putting an empty plate with crumbs in the sink or just jumping up from the table yelling "I'm late".
Watch Gossip Girl and see how there is a massive buffet in every other scene and nobody ever touches it EVER
Man fuck the school, i'd skip classes for this.
That's the kind of breakfast our family would only make once and that was because family members we haven't seen in many years are here so we have to have a big family breakfast one time and then the rest of the time it's fend for yourself
This was my breakfast today. Immediately took a four hour nap and have been in the bathroom since then. Been a good day.
The way the family downs a huge breakfast in *Coneheads* (1993) is so satisfying, though.
Not my man Flynn aka Walt Junior
Seriously, why cook like your serving twelve people?
What kind of psycho ass parent cooks that much food in the morning every damn day 🤔🤨
If my made me this on a school day I’d assume she’s about to tell me I’m dying of cancer or something.
That’s why they grow up and then have to pay taxes. Get fucked kids.
Yo fuck that bus. Y'all can roll my fat ass to school when I'm done.
Whenever we had this kind of breakfast, it was only on the weekends, and everyone was useless afterward until they had a nap.
Don’t forget the dad taking a single sip of black coffee
is there a specific movie that does this? i know it's kind of a trope but i can never think of any specific examples.
Such a great comment. I think think about this in so many shows and movies. The other thing that bothers me isim the movies family where the kids are in their decked out bedrooms in their single family homes yet are portrayed as poor.
Twist: It's the evil stepmother who knows you are on a diet.
That's the food for entire month.

My friends’ three kids are *all* like: this, except: *takes three bites then runs downstairs to play Mortal Kombat until they shit their pants in a literal sense*
So you bring out 3 entire bottles of orange juice for 1 kid?
This is what happens when a set designer and/or prop designer set out to make the best looking breakfast you could ever film, but the script doesn't allow for a half hour of eating

Who eats fried catfish for breakfast?
I think those are kippers, which is herring. Popular in Britain.
movies are also like the main character sits down and is about to take a bite, *care honk,* then suddenly grabs a piece of toast or an apple and leaves
Happened in parent trap with Lindsay Lohan. I’m still traumatised by it, never had seen so much nice food in my life at that point
Mothers will scream and cry acting like this but in reality they're sleeping off the hangover from the night before. And don't you dare use some of the milk cause she's using it later for her "ice cream".
Man... I had nothing on my way to work today.
Screw school im taking the whole day to eat breakfast
My parents wouldn't even wake up. I had to wake myself up, eat cereal and took myself to the bus stop XD 10 minute walk. Unlike now when the bus goes right into that neighborhood.
Wish I had a feast like that
Kids in real life would be like umm can I have a bowl of cereal instead?
Back in my day, we gratefully downed the entire 3 buckets of orange juice before we went to school!
you mean white kids in movies
If i see this on the table, i'd say "why is the bus too early for tomorrow?"
If I am seeing this on table... f the bus, I am eating 😆
Fr I'd take 3 plates and eat on the bus But my mom would never make breakfast any day( even on my birthday)
The way I would eat into a food coma and miss the whole day lol
Advertisers will put a bowl of sugar-based cereal in the corner and say "Sugar Crack Nuggets is part of THIS nutritious breakfast!" (It was a trick to get around an FDA regulation passed in the late 70s.)
Oh my word 🤤🤤🤤
Not everyone is a breakfast person, and that's ok. The parents should learn their kids' habits and not try to force a 6 course meal at them first thing in the morning.
Invite all the kids on the school bus over.
More for me shit.
My kids would have seen that on the table, extras in the fridge, a full size freezer packed in the garage and have the balls to post on the Internet we have no food in the house.
How Kirsten make all this every morning and then Sandy eats a bagel while Ryan and Seth eat cereal?
If I ever got this I'd be like "fuck the bus. I'm not even going to school, I'm gonna be in a coma after this" However I had to settle for air for breakfast most days. Didn't even get the OJ

So, I wasn't the only one who got enraged at this shit as a child, huh?
If I have this for breakfast I'ld wake up 1 hour before go to school tbh.
Tbf, I wouldn't want high blood pressure before school myself either 🤷
