->"''The only thing she learned was that a pen function was not like a real pen in the most important way there was. You could not chew it."''
--> -- '''''[[Creator/DianaWynneJones A Tale of Time City]]'''''
Sometimes a character will suck or chew on something as a form of characterization. These range from toothpicks and blades of straw or grass to lollipops and cigarettes. SmokingIsCool is an example, and it's possible that some of these are a way to capture the look while the NoSmoking rule is in force. An Oral Fixation might also be a sign they are an ex-smoker, having [[AddictionDisplacement substituted one habit for another]]. When food is used, this can overlap with EroticEating.
In anime, having a piece of straw in one's mouth is a common depiction of a ''banchou'', or [[JapaneseDelinquents juvenile delinquent]] gang-leader character. In the West, the closest equivalent is the DeadHorseTrope of the toothpick-chewing thug -- a character chewing a piece of straw merely signifies he's a CountryMouse.

!!Examples
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* Spoofed in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' with Shunsui Kyoraku, who sticks a blade of straw in his mouth because he thought it would look cool, but it turns out to be toxic.
* In ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', Ash's Treecko always had a tiny wood branch which makes him the most BadAss of all of Ash's Pokémon (As BadAss as you can get in ''Pokémon'' at least). He continues the habit when he evolves into Grovyle, but loses it temporarily when he evolved into Sceptile, as result of a HeroicBSOD.
* Novick from ''TowerOfGod'' really should stop chewing his fingers.
* ''Manga/DeathNote'':
** Mello is perpetually chomping a chocolate bar.
** L chews his thumbnail when he's thinking. Or excited. Or bored. Pretty much constantly, actually. When he's not eating sweets.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Genma Shiranui, a minor Jonin, constantly chews on what looks like a toothpick. Notably, when faced with the Sound 4, he spits it to block a kunai thrown at him, and it becomes apparent that it was actually a senbon.
** Orochimaru has a creepy habit of licking his lips.
** Asuma is always smoking unless it [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness serious]].
** Omoi is often seen with a sucker in his mouth, even when talking.
* ''OnePiece'':
** Sanji is rarely seen without a cigarette. It was changed to a lollipop in the 4Kids {{Macekre}}, and removed entirely for the edited Funimation dub.
** One of the Marines, Smoker, is self explanatory--but with cigars (two ''at once'') instead. 4Kids edited out the cigars while leaving the smoke (saying his body was making the smoke as part of the power) which also required the addition gaps in his teeth, while Funimation is planning to do the opposite: leave the cigars, remove the smoke.
* Banchou Leomon from ''DigimonSavers'' chomps on a piece of straw.
* Youichi Hiruma of ''{{Eyeshield 21}}'' frequently chews and blows bubblegum, and has been seen with a cigarette once or twice. Rival quarterback the Kid is almost always seen with a blade of grass (or wheat, or something) in his mouth, as well.
* Bunta Marui from ''PrinceOfTennis'' loves to chew and blow on gum.
* Mizore Shirayuki from ''RosarioToVampire'' always has a lollipop in her mouth. Yum. There is a reason for this though, she is a [[AnIcePerson Yuki Onna]] and that lolipop is actually super-chilled to prevent her and her species from melting outside of their home
* Gascogne from ''{{Vandread}}''. Interestingly becomes plot-important when [[spoiler:the weird metal thing turns out to transform into a key.]]
* Koenma's pacifier in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'': not so out of place in his infant form, but much more noticeable in his older and more {{Bishounen}} guise. Apparently, several centuries of soaking in a junior god's essence also makes it a fairly potent magical object.
* Jack, from ''ShanghaiYoumaKikai'', is literally never seen without a cigarette.
** Likewise, his ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' counterpart, Jean Havoc, is only seen without one in a few hospital scenes.
* ''HatsukoiLimited'' has Misaki Yamamoto and her habit of having a lollipop in her mouth. The guy who first stuck one in her mouth might have been her first crush.
* Integra from ''{{Hellsing}}'' is constantly smoking, to the point where if anyone nearby has a lighter, they're expected to light her next cigar. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Yes, even the Catholic Assassins.]]
* Sagara Sanosuke from ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' is almost always seen with a completely stripped fish skeleton in his mouth, or a small plant if he is traveling.
* Hermann Kaltz from ''CaptainTsubasa'' often has a small twig in his mouth.
* Spanner from ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' is always shown with a lollipop, and in one anime {{Omake}} is revealed to make them himself (including ''natto'' flavour). [[JustifiedTrope Explained]] and {{lampshade|Hanging}}d that the sugar boost is good for the brain.
** Likewise, Gokudera in the manga always had a cigarette in his mouth.
* In ''GetBackers'', although not licking any other object per se, PsychoForHire Takuma Fudou loves to constantly lick his lips. This can be seen as a trait that makes him more disturbing, or... something for FetishFuel. Or both.
* Kio of ''{{Loveless}}'' is almost always eating a lollipop. And trying to get other people to eat them, too.
* In ''[[SherlockHound Meitantei Holmes]]'', Holmes keeps his pipe in his mouth almost all the time, even when it isn't lit. In one episode, he seals it so he can keep it on a non-smoking train.
* [[AxCrazy Yami Bakura and Yami Marik]] of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' sometimes lick their lips.
* In ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'' much focus is given to Alois's mouth and tongue, and he's constantly licking things like his mouth, among other things.
* Kaneda of the ''LitchiHikariClub'' is almost constantly hunched over chewing on his nails.
* The resident samurai Mifune from ''Manga/SoulEater'' always has a reed in his mouth.
* Saku, from ''TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'' always has a lollipop in her mouth.
* Tessai, Ukyo's BeleagueredAssistant (and BattleButler) always has an unlit corncob pipe in his mouth

* Naomasa in ''LightNovel/KyoukaiSenjouNoHorizon'' keeps an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key Allen wrench]] in her mouth.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Detective Harvey Bullock from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''. In the comics he's generally chomping on a cigar; in the animated series, it's a toothpick.
** And then there's Matches Malone.
** The Penguin is never seen without his trademark cigarette holder.
* ''LuckyLuke'' 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."
* Parodied in the comic ''VanVonHunter'': the title character (a vampire hunter) constantly chews a toothpick. His sidekick finally asks about it, just in time for him to dramatically reveal that it's really a miniature ''stake.''
* Herbie and his lollipops from the comic ''Herbie''
* In IDW's version of ''[[TransformersOngoing Transformers]]'', Kupp is given a cigar-like piece of metal that he chews on.
* Dr. Will Magnus, creator of the ''MetalMen'', is hardly ever seen without a pipe in his mouth. During ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', 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.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fanfic]]
* In the ''OnePiece'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TilYouFeelItAllAroundYou'', Sanji doesn't want to smoke around his [[FountainOfYouth deaged]] nakama. In its place, he unconsciously develops a habit of biting his thumb, something he doesn't realize until Franky points it out to him.
* Emeth debuts in ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorld'' chewing a leaf and it's occasionally lampshaded as the sight of it moving as he chews is distracting to his party members if they focus on it for a bit too long. It's implied that the leaf is some sort of drug that helps him stay relaxed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Film]]
* Rusty of the ''OceansEleven'' 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. This helps establish Rusty's very cool and casual personality.
* There are two of them in the [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney animated film]] ''AtlantisTheLostEmpire''.
** Commander Rourke chomps on a matchstick.
** 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 ShoutOut all the way through.
* Chow Yun-Fat's characters can be seen chewing on toothpicks, matchsticks, and cigarettes in JohnWoo's various movies.
* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', one of Biff Tannen's sidekicks always chews on a match. Thus his name, "Match." It's in the credits.
* Parodied in ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'': when passing a control point, the French take bubble gum and chew emphatically because "It makes [them] look more American."
* David Warner's character in ''Felony'' is always chewing something ([[ChewingTheScenery in addition to the scenery]]).
* Parodied in ''HotFuzz'', as Sergeant Angel returns to town chewing on a toothpick.
* General Jack D. Ripper from ''DrStrangelove'' is a CigarChomper. The Freudian aspect is to some extent lampshaded (or at least made all the more obvious) by his obsession with, um, precious bodily fluids.
* Megget in ''TheLongestYard'' (The Adam Sandler version) is seen chewing toothpicks for the entirety of the movie.
* Marion Cobretti (SylvesterStallone) in ''Film/{{Cobra}}''.

* Dr. Furano in ''Film/VampireGirlVsFrankensteinGirl'' has a habit of biting his fingernails. This eventually leads him to discover the full properties of vampire blood.
* Dr. Block spends most of ''PlanetTerror'' with a medical thermometer between his teeth. He claims it's to help him "Maintain [his] level of stress," But it's probably more about JohnBrolin looking totally BadAss while doing it.
* The sketchy guy at the bowling alley ("That's why they call me Pal.") hitting on 15-year-old Tia in ''UncleBuck'' is playing with a toothpick. He ends up not looking sexy or badass when he gets stuck with it propping his mouth open.
* Penny Pingleton from ''{{Hairspray}}'' is constantly sucking on lollipops. Amanda Bynes was said to have eaten about 40 of them a day!
* Oliver Platt's "Cahill" in ''Film/ExecutiveDecision'' always chews a straw. It [[ChekhovsGun becomes important later]].
* [[MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] was a notorious cigar smoker - both in his acting roles and as a TV personality.
* Evan's mother in ''Film/TheButterflyEffect'' is seen anxiously chewing on her fingernails in one scene while Evan is being x-rayed. This is to foreshadow her chain-smoking as another oral response to the stress of Evan losing his arms in another timeline.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Literature]]
* DaChief Root from ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' does keeps a cigar in his mouth, like in the ''NeroWolfe'' example below, because actually lighting cigars is against regulations (good thing, too, as it's apparently a "fungus cigar").
* In the novel ''Literature/SongOfSolomon'' by Toni Morrison, the character Pilate is described as always chewing something: orange seeds, pine needles, a rubber band.
* The character Mars Bar in the novel ''Literature/ManiacMagee'' gets his nickname from his love of candy bars. He habitually holds one in his teeth like a fat cigar. Near the end, another character begins calling him Snickers.
* Gwen, one of the two {{Kid Detective}}s in the ''Something Queer [is going on]'' series, taps her braces when she is thinking hard, a habit which tends to annoy the people around her.
* Mr. Sir from ''{{Holes}}'' constantly chewed sunflower seeds. He used to smoke, but chewed seeds after he quit.
* Beaver, from Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'', is constantly chewing on toothpicks. [[spoiler:It leads, indirectly, to his death]].
* Ce'Nedra in ''The {{Belgariad}}'' habitually chews on her hair when nervous or thinking.
* ''NeroWolfe'': Police Inspector Cramer has a cigar in his mouth almost all the time - he hardly ever smokes it, he just chomps it. And this is ''not'' a bow to [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad Politically Correct]] views of smoking, as the character was doing this in stories published before World War II.
* ''[[TheSpaceTrilogy That Hideous Strength]]'', Major Hardcastle always has a cheroot in her mouth; she hardly ever lights it. When she does, watch out!
* [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Sir Samuel Vimes]] is often seen with a cigar, especially after he quit drinking.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', Bebe has a personal crisis when she [[CompressedVice tries to]] [[GoingColdTurkey give up smoking.]] She tells the family that her reason for smoking is that she has an oral fixation, then describes smoking in detail that clearly suggests [[FreudWasRight another activity]].
* The Fonz from ''Series/HappyDays'' chews on a toothpick a lot of the time.
* ''Series/{{Kojak}}'' and his lollipops. The lollipops specifically [[AddictionDisplacement replaced]] cigarettes.
* Spoofed in ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
** During the movie ''The Thing That Couldn't Die'', a cowboy with a ridiculously long and skinny cigar in his mouth prompts the quip "Nothing like smoking a Slim Jim."
** In ''{{Laserblast}}'' Crow mocks the cigarette chomping deputy "What do you mean I have oral fixation?"
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'':
** In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Office", Monk found a chewed toothpick at the scene of the crime, and commented that it meant the murderer was trying to be a tough guy... at which point he, and the viewer, first notice that Captain Stottlemeyer is a perpetual toothpick-chewer.
** In "Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation", Monk has to solve a murder at a hotel, and is helped by a member of the hotel security team. The security officer likes to pretend she's a real police officer, but all of her knowledge on police work (and officer stereotypes) are based on movies and TV shows. She chews toothpicks to complete the "police officer" look. At one point she offers Monk one, which he awkwardly accepts after she tells him they're individually wrapped.
* In the "Two A-Holes..." sketch series from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', 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 ''Series/{{Sh15uya}}'' seems very fond of lollipops, too.
* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' Paige sucks on lollipop for her first few episodes, but stops after Piper warns her about cavities.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** The 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 FanService. (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.
*** In ''Dinosaurs on a Spaceship'' he sticks his tongue out a ridiculous distance to taste the air and work out where they are, so it seems he hasn't completely lost the skill.
* D.I. Peter Carlisle in the BBC miniseries ''Series/{{Blackpool}}'' is almost always eating, and also played by DavidTennant. More FanService here.
** Carlisle also 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.
* ''Series/TheColbertReport'''s field reports are not complete without an unlikely object getting licked. Stephen once licked a ''meteorite''.
** While on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', Stephen demonstrates [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=108395&title=prince-charles-scandal how to eat a banana]] and later on ''Series/TheColbertReport'', [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/181164/november-09-2005/all-you-need-to-know---kansas-education how to siphon gasoline]].
** Stephen is frequently seen with a pen in his mouth, whether in the course of the show or in still photographs from the set. He also often uses food in various bits, and tends to lick things off of his fingers.
* Stiles Stilinski from ''Series/TeenWolf'' has a tendency to chew on stuff, including lacrosse gloves, overabundances of curly fries, and an underused highlighter cap to name a few of the victims.
* Geoffrey Tennant on ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'' chews ''razor blades.'' This is an homage to noted Shakespearean director John Barton, who apparently [[TruthInTelevision did this in real life.]]
* Director Leon Vance of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is a toothpick chewer. At one point, he even tries to motivate [=McGee=] by giving him a freshly wrapped toothpick of his own. [=McGee=] promptly stabs himself inside the cheek with it. Toothpicks apparently take some skill.
* Jerry Espenson on ''BostonLegal'' chews a wooden cigarette due to his Aspergers. Alan Shore and Denny Crane prefer big cigars.
** In one episode Denny is disgruntled by Shirley's conciliatory approach to a case and smokes a rather pathetic cigar.
-->'''Shirley''': Small cigar.
-->'''Denny''': Seems appropriate for our wimpy defense.
* Mulder of ''Series/TheXFiles'' tends to put things like paper clips in his mouth and he's a big fan of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sunflower seeds]].
* Dr Chase from ''Series/{{House}}'' seems to be constantly putting pens in his mouth, especially in the earlier seasons.
* Don Eppes from ''Series/{{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.
* A running gag in ''Series/TheShadowLine'' is that the department used to be one where EverybodySmokes, but the recently-implemented national smoking ban for workplaces has left several characters resorting to substitutes.
** Sgt. Foley is always chewing gum.
** DaChief finds a pencil to chew on if he's somewhere he can't smoke.
** Bob Harris is in the process of giving up smoking, and substitutes with gum, nicotine inhalers and, er, rent boys.

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* Duke in the ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}'' comic strip always has a lit cigarette in a cigarette holder hanging from his mouth. The character is based on Hunter S. Thompson, who made signature use of cigarette holders.

* One of Mitsurugi's costumes in ''SoulCalibur 2'' gives him a blade of grass/wheat.
* Juan Corrida, one of the victims in ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' constantly has a piece of straw in his mouth- except in the photo of the crime scene, of course.
** In ''AceAttorney Investigations'', Detective Badd appears at first to be your standard hardboiled cop, smoking a cigarette, but it's actually a lollipop. (And as he sucks on it... his speech pauses... dramatically...)
* In the game ''VideoGame/WingCommander'', Captain Ian "Hunter" St. John constantly has a cigar in his mouth.
* In ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', Koki Kariya's lollipop/bean paste is sort of his personal [[IconicItem signature item]] to the point Beat tends to refer to him has "Lollipop" - subverted, though, as he never actually has it in his mouth when he appears, instead holding it. Rather delicately.
* You can equip a blade of grass just to invoke this trope in ''RagnarokOnline''.
* Detective Magnotta, ChristopherWalken's character in ''{{Ripper}}'', can simply '''not''' keep a cigar out of his mouth for more than five minutes. And he doesn't really even smoke them.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the titular character is frequently seen with a lollipop. Additionally, by pressing the button corresponding to the type of lollipop boost you want and holding it down until the lollipop comes onscreen, you can actually change the color of Bayonetta's lollipop [[spoiler:and get a (usually) much-needed boost. The best part? This doesn't count as a used item]].
* ''CommandAndConquer'': General Carville shows this at times.
* Captain Keyes in the first ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' game chews his grandfather's tobacco pipe. The books explain that he's not allowed to smoke it while onboard a spacecraft, because of the contained atmosphere.
* In the first ''{{Starcraft}}'' game, the image avatar for the Firebat unit was depicted with a cigarette in his mouth.

* 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 [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquents]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jUtxBOsFyg/TNs9bvGuSqI/AAAAAAAABKQ/ku9h7HkA7cM/s1600/03.png if they walk around chewing on them]].
* Johnathan Ingram, lead character of ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'', is always depicted with a cigarette in his mouth. And he never lights it. Several characters point out that it is illegal to smoke on a space colony because of air purification issues and/or the threat of the oxygen igniting. Though it's implied Johnathan doesn't smoke anyway.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Webcomics]]
* Dave from ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' was almost never seen without a cigarette in his mouth... until he went back in time and changed the past so that he never started smoking. It became a RunningGag that he would mention how he used to smoke and no one else would remember it.

* Brent, from ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', chews on toothpicks.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Jet from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' constantly chews on and holds a blade of grass in his mouth, but he loses it along with much of his [[BadAss badassery]] when he [[spoiler: gets brainwashed.]] [[GenreSavvy Sokka]] even tries to see if replacing it would help. It doesn't.
* Two in ''GIJoe'':
** Breaker is literally always chewing gum and is willing to disobey a direct order to discard it.
** Clutch, somewhat similarly, has been known to chew on the same toothpick for months.
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
** Dale Gribble is rarely seen without a cigarette in his mouth.
--> '''Dale:''' My oral fixation!
** In one episode he switches to chewing tobacco, but his wife convinces him to switch back when he won't stop spitting on the floor.
* Slim, a one-shot character in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', usually chewed a match. Another one-shot character, Spuds, would chew on a stick.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Maggie Simpson and her pacifier.
** An Ogdenville farmer on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has a piece of straw in his mouth.
* Played for laughs in one episode of ''TheFairlyOddParents'' with Cosmo and his wand, to show off his [[TheDitz ditz status]].
* Det. Harvey Bullock on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' constantly chewed a toothpick, in a way that made it rather clear he either used to smoke, or still did when the camera and censors weren't around. Once used for {{Squick}}, when he flicked it at his officious landlord. It stuck.
* BugsBunny and his carrots, which were kind of a substitute for a cigar.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Yankee Doodle Daffy]]'': Any time Sleepy [=LaGoon=] is on screen, he's seen licking his lollipop, which is so big it nearly conceals his face.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Newborn filly Pumpkin Cake has the odd habit of chewing on just about anything she can find -- except food. Tableclothes, bath towels, stuffed toys, rubber chickens, etc. As she's a month old when it really kicks in, it's possible she's teething (horses teeth at one month).
** Applejack can often be seen with a piece of straw in her mouth, as can her brother Macintosh.
** Pinkie's toothless alligator Gummy often vacantly latches onto objects or ponies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Real Life]]
* WinstonChurchill kept a cigar in his mouth pretty much from dawn until bedtime. At home he would just kind of chew on them unlit, and even had special sticky-paper bands made up to help hold them together.
* His pal FranklinDRoosevelt was a cigarette-in-a-holder guy, and was depicted that way everywhere -- except, weirdly, in his official memorial sculpture in Washington.
* DougWalker. If there's a giving-a-blowjob joke to be made, then ''by God'', he will make it. He's so fixated that it often seeps through to his characters; WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses is the most obvious with his pipe, but WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic gets some fun too.
* HaydenPanettiere seems to have this weird compulsion to lick things.
* Dave Grohl of Music/FooFighters is always seen chewing gum on stage, including whilst singing.
* MixedMartialArts fighter and UFC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson often fights with a toothpick hidden in his mouth, in spite of the danger this presents. He produced it from his mouth immediately after the final bell of his successful title defense against Nate Diaz, but denied it in the following interview. His coach admits that he has repeatedly told Henderson not to pull this stunt and even checks his mouth before fights, but Henderson still manages to sneak it in there sometimes.
* Although not every role that Brad Pitt plays has an oral fixation, [[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 more of his characters than is common]] are shown eating at some point. Pitt himself must be the one suggesting that his characters eat something in various scenes.

->"''The only thing she learned was that a pen function was not like a real pen in the most important way there was. You could not chew it."''
--> -- '''''[[Creator/DianaWynneJones A Tale of Time City]]'''''
Sometimes a character will suck or chew on something as a form of characterization. These range from toothpicks and blades of straw or grass to lollipops and cigarettes. SmokingIsCool is an example, and it's possible that some of these are a way to capture the look while the NoSmoking rule is in force. An Oral Fixation might also be a sign they are an ex-smoker, having [[AddictionDisplacement substituted one habit for another]]. When food is used, this can overlap with EroticEating.
In anime, having a piece of straw in one's mouth is a common depiction of a ''banchou'', or [[JapaneseDelinquents juvenile delinquent]] gang-leader character. In the West, the closest equivalent is the DeadHorseTrope of the toothpick-chewing thug -- a character chewing a piece of straw merely signifies he's a CountryMouse.

* Spoofed in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' with Shunsui Kyoraku, who sticks a blade of straw in his mouth because he thought it would look cool, but it turns out to be toxic.
* In ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', Ash's Treecko always had a tiny wood branch which makes him the most BadAss of all of Ash's Pokémon (As BadAss as you can get in ''Pokémon'' at least).

* Novick from ''TowerOfGod'' really should stop chewing his fingers.
* ''Manga/DeathNote'':

* Gascogne from ''{{Vandread}}''. Interestingly becomes plot-important when [[spoiler:the weird metal thing turns out to transform into a key.]]
* Koenma's pacifier in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'': not so out of place in his infant form, but much more noticeable in his older and more {{Bishounen}} guise. Apparently, several centuries of soaking in a junior god's essence also makes it a fairly potent magical object.

** Likewise, his ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' counterpart, Jean Havoc, is only seen without one in a few hospital scenes.

** Likewise, Gokudera in the manga always had a cigarette in his mouth.
* In ''GetBackers'', although not licking any other object per se, PsychoForHire Takuma Fudou loves to constantly lick his lips. This can be seen as a trait that makes him more disturbing, or... something for FetishFuel. Or both.
* Kio of ''{{Loveless}}'' is almost always eating a lollipop. And trying to get other people to eat them, too.
* In ''[[SherlockHound Meitantei Holmes]]'', Holmes keeps his pipe in his mouth almost all the time, even when it isn't lit. In one episode, he seals it so he can keep it on a non-smoking train.

* In IDW's version of ''[[TransformersOngoing Transformers]]'', Kupp is given a cigar-like piece of metal that he chews on.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fanfic]]
* In the ''OnePiece'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TilYouFeelItAllAroundYou'', Sanji doesn't want to smoke around his [[FountainOfYouth deaged]] nakama. In its place, he unconsciously develops a habit of biting his thumb, something he doesn't realize until Franky points it out to him.
* Emeth debuts in ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorld'' chewing a leaf and it's occasionally lampshaded as the sight of it moving as he chews is distracting to his party members if they focus on it for a bit too long. It's implied that the leaf is some sort of drug that helps him stay relaxed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Film]]
* Rusty of the ''OceansEleven'' 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. This helps establish Rusty's very cool and casual personality.

** Commander Rourke chomps on a matchstick.
** 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 ShoutOut all the way through.
* Chow Yun-Fat's characters can be seen chewing on toothpicks, matchsticks, and cigarettes in JohnWoo's various movies.
* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', one of Biff Tannen's sidekicks always chews on a match. Thus his name, "Match." It's in the credits.

* Marion Cobretti (SylvesterStallone) in ''Film/{{Cobra}}''.

* The sketchy guy at the bowling alley ("That's why they call me Pal.") hitting on 15-year-old Tia in ''UncleBuck'' is playing with a toothpick. He ends up not looking sexy or badass when he gets stuck with it propping his mouth open.
* Penny Pingleton from ''{{Hairspray}}'' is constantly sucking on lollipops. Amanda Bynes was said to have eaten about 40 of them a day!
* Oliver Platt's "Cahill" in ''Film/ExecutiveDecision'' always chews a straw. It [[ChekhovsGun becomes important later]].
* [[MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] was a notorious cigar smoker - both in his acting roles and as a TV personality.
* Evan's mother in ''Film/TheButterflyEffect'' is seen anxiously chewing on her fingernails in one scene while Evan is being x-rayed. This is to foreshadow her chain-smoking as another oral response to the stress of Evan losing his arms in another timeline.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Literature]]
* DaChief Root from ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' does keeps a cigar in his mouth, like in the ''NeroWolfe'' example below, because actually lighting cigars is against regulations (good thing, too, as it's apparently a "fungus cigar").
* In the novel ''Literature/SongOfSolomon'' by Toni Morrison, the character Pilate is described as always chewing something: orange seeds, pine needles, a rubber band.

* Ce'Nedra in ''The {{Belgariad}}'' habitually chews on her hair when nervous or thinking.
* ''NeroWolfe'': Police Inspector Cramer has a cigar in his mouth almost all the time - he hardly ever smokes it, he just chomps it. And this is ''not'' a bow to [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad Politically Correct]] views of smoking, as the character was doing this in stories published before World War II.
* ''[[TheSpaceTrilogy That Hideous Strength]]'', Major Hardcastle always has a cheroot in her mouth; she hardly ever lights it. When she does, watch out!

* The Fonz from ''Series/HappyDays'' chews on a toothpick a lot of the time.
* ''Series/{{Kojak}}'' and his lollipops. The lollipops specifically [[AddictionDisplacement replaced]] cigarettes.
* Spoofed in ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
** During the movie ''The Thing That Couldn't Die'', a cowboy with a ridiculously long and skinny cigar in his mouth prompts the quip "Nothing like smoking a Slim Jim."
** In ''{{Laserblast}}'' Crow mocks the cigarette chomping deputy "What do you mean I have oral fixation?"
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'':
** In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Office", Monk found a chewed toothpick at the scene of the crime, and commented that it meant the murderer was trying to be a tough guy... at which point he, and the viewer, first notice that Captain Stottlemeyer is a perpetual toothpick-chewer.
** In "Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation", Monk has to solve a murder at a hotel, and is helped by a member of the hotel security team. The security officer likes to pretend she's a real police officer, but all of her knowledge on police work (and officer stereotypes) are based on movies and TV shows. She chews toothpicks to complete the "police officer" look. At one point she offers Monk one, which he awkwardly accepts after she tells him they're individually wrapped.
* In the "Two A-Holes..." sketch series from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', 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 ''Series/{{Sh15uya}}'' seems very fond of lollipops, too.
* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' Paige sucks on lollipop for her first few episodes, but stops after Piper warns her about cavities.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** The 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 FanService. (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.
*** In ''Dinosaurs on a Spaceship'' he sticks his tongue out a ridiculous distance to taste the air and work out where they are, so it seems he hasn't completely lost the skill.
* D.I. Peter Carlisle in the BBC miniseries ''Series/{{Blackpool}}'' is almost always eating, and also played by DavidTennant. More FanService here.
** Carlisle also 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.
* ''Series/TheColbertReport'''s field reports are not complete without an unlikely object getting licked. Stephen once licked a ''meteorite''.
** While on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', Stephen demonstrates [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=108395&title=prince-charles-scandal how to eat a banana]] and later on ''Series/TheColbertReport'', [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/181164/november-09-2005/all-you-need-to-know---kansas-education how to siphon gasoline]].

* Stiles Stilinski from ''Series/TeenWolf'' has a tendency to chew on stuff, including lacrosse gloves, overabundances of curly fries, and an underused highlighter cap to name a few of the victims.
* Geoffrey Tennant on ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'' chews ''razor blades.'' This is an homage to noted Shakespearean director John Barton, who apparently [[TruthInTelevision did this in real life.]]
* Director Leon Vance of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is a toothpick chewer. At one point, he even tries to motivate [=McGee=] by giving him a freshly wrapped toothpick of his own. [=McGee=] promptly stabs himself inside the cheek with it. Toothpicks apparently take some skill.
* Jerry Espenson on ''BostonLegal'' chews a wooden cigarette due to his Aspergers. Alan Shore and Denny Crane prefer big cigars.
** In one episode Denny is disgruntled by Shirley's conciliatory approach to a case and smokes a rather pathetic cigar.
-->'''Shirley''': Small cigar.
-->'''Denny''': Seems appropriate for our wimpy defense.
* Mulder of ''Series/TheXFiles'' tends to put things like paper clips in his mouth and he's a big fan of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sunflower seeds]].
* Dr Chase from ''Series/{{House}}'' seems to be constantly putting pens in his mouth, especially in the earlier seasons.
* Don Eppes from ''Series/{{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.
* A running gag in ''Series/TheShadowLine'' is that the department used to be one where EverybodySmokes, but the recently-implemented national smoking ban for workplaces has left several characters resorting to substitutes.
** Sgt. Foley is always chewing gum.
** DaChief finds a pencil to chew on if he's somewhere he can't smoke.
** Bob Harris is in the process of giving up smoking, and substitutes with gum, nicotine inhalers and, er, rent boys.

* One of Mitsurugi's costumes in ''SoulCalibur 2'' gives him a blade of grass/wheat.
* Juan Corrida, one of the victims in ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' constantly has a piece of straw in his mouth- except in the photo of the crime scene, of course.
** In ''AceAttorney Investigations'', Detective Badd appears at first to be your standard hardboiled cop, smoking a cigarette, but it's actually a lollipop. (And as he sucks on it... his speech pauses... dramatically...)
* In the game ''VideoGame/WingCommander'', Captain Ian "Hunter" St. John constantly has a cigar in his mouth.
* In ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', Koki Kariya's lollipop/bean paste is sort of his personal [[IconicItem signature item]] to the point Beat tends to refer to him has "Lollipop" - subverted, though, as he never actually has it in his mouth when he appears, instead holding it. Rather delicately.
* You can equip a blade of grass just to invoke this trope in ''RagnarokOnline''.
* Detective Magnotta, ChristopherWalken's character in ''{{Ripper}}'', can simply '''not''' keep a cigar out of his mouth for more than five minutes. And he doesn't really even smoke them.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the titular character is frequently seen with a lollipop. Additionally, by pressing the button corresponding to the type of lollipop boost you want and holding it down until the lollipop comes onscreen, you can actually change the color of Bayonetta's lollipop [[spoiler:and get a (usually) much-needed boost. The best part? This doesn't count as a used item]].
* ''CommandAndConquer'': General Carville shows this at times.
* Captain Keyes in the first ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' game chews his grandfather's tobacco pipe. The books explain that he's not allowed to smoke it while onboard a spacecraft, because of the contained atmosphere.

* Johnathan Ingram, lead character of ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'', is always depicted with a cigarette in his mouth. And he never lights it.

Though it's implied Johnathan doesn't smoke anyway.

* BugsBunny and his carrots, which were kind of a substitute for a cigar.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Yankee Doodle Daffy]]'': Any time Sleepy [=LaGoon=] is on screen, he's seen licking his lollipop, which is so big it nearly conceals his face.

** Pinkie's toothless alligator Gummy often vacantly latches onto objects or ponies.

* His pal FranklinDRoosevelt was a cigarette-in-a-holder guy, and was depicted that way everywhere -- except, weirdly, in his official memorial sculpture in Washington.
* DougWalker. If there's a giving-a-blowjob joke to be made, then ''by God'', he will make it. He's so fixated that it often seeps through to his characters; WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses is the most obvious with his pipe, but WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic gets some fun too.

--> -- '''''[[Creator/DianaWynneJones A Tale of Time City]]'''''
Sometimes a character will suck or chew on something as a form of characterization. These range from toothpicks and blades of straw or grass to lollipops and cigarettes. SmokingIsCool is an example, and it's possible that some of these are a way to capture the look while the NoSmoking rule is in force. An Oral Fixation might also be a sign they are an ex-smoker, having [[AddictionDisplacement substituted one habit for another]]. When food is used, this can overlap with EroticEating.
In anime, having a piece of straw in one's mouth is a common depiction of a ''banchou'', or [[JapaneseDelinquents juvenile delinquent]] gang-leader character. In the West, the closest equivalent is the DeadHorseTrope of the toothpick-chewing thug -- a character chewing a piece of straw merely signifies he's a CountryMouse.

* Spoofed in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' with Shunsui Kyoraku, who sticks a blade of straw in his mouth because he thought it would look cool, but it turns out to be toxic.

* Novick from ''TowerOfGod'' really should stop chewing his fingers.

* Koenma's pacifier in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'': not so out of place in his infant form, but much more noticeable in his older and more {{Bishounen}} guise. Apparently, several centuries of soaking in a junior god's essence also makes it a fairly potent magical object.

** Likewise, his ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' counterpart, Jean Havoc, is only seen without one in a few hospital scenes.

** Likewise, Gokudera in the manga always had a cigarette in his mouth.

** Lampshaded in ''Marcel Dalton'': "Cigar? -I stopped. -I forgot. Blade of grass? -No thanks, I'm stopping."
* Parodied in the comic ''VanVonHunter'': the title character (a vampire hunter) constantly chews a toothpick. His sidekick finally asks about it, just in time for him to dramatically reveal that it's really a miniature ''stake.''
* Herbie and his lollipops from the comic ''Herbie''
* In IDW's version of ''[[TransformersOngoing Transformers]]'', Kupp is given a cigar-like piece of metal that he chews on.
* Dr. Will Magnus, creator of the ''MetalMen'', is hardly ever seen without a pipe in his mouth. During ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', 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.

[[folder:Fanfic]]
* In the ''OnePiece'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TilYouFeelItAllAroundYou'', Sanji doesn't want to smoke around his [[FountainOfYouth deaged]] nakama. In its place, he unconsciously develops a habit of biting his thumb, something he doesn't realize until Franky points it out to him.
* Emeth debuts in ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorld'' chewing a leaf and it's occasionally lampshaded as the sight of it moving as he chews is distracting to his party members if they focus on it for a bit too long. It's implied that the leaf is some sort of drug that helps him stay relaxed.

[[folder:Film]]
* Rusty of the ''OceansEleven'' 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. This helps establish Rusty's very cool and casual personality.
* There are two of them in the [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney animated film]] ''AtlantisTheLostEmpire''.
** Commander Rourke chomps on a matchstick.
** 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 ShoutOut all the way through.
* Chow Yun-Fat's characters can be seen chewing on toothpicks, matchsticks, and cigarettes in JohnWoo's various movies.
* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', one of Biff Tannen's sidekicks always chews on a match. Thus his name, "Match." It's in the credits.
* Parodied in ''Film/{{Godzilla 1998}}'': when passing a control point, the French take bubble gum and chew emphatically because "It makes [them] look more American."
* David Warner's character in ''Felony'' is always chewing something ([[ChewingTheScenery in addition to the scenery]]).
* Parodied in ''HotFuzz'', as Sergeant Angel returns to town chewing on a toothpick.
* General Jack D. Ripper from ''DrStrangelove'' is a CigarChomper. The Freudian aspect is to some extent lampshaded (or at least made all the more obvious) by his obsession with, um, precious bodily fluids.
* Megget in ''TheLongestYard'' (The Adam Sandler version) is seen chewing toothpicks for the entirety of the movie.
* Marion Cobretti (SylvesterStallone) in ''Film/{{Cobra}}''.

* Dr. Furano in ''Film/VampireGirlVsFrankensteinGirl'' has a habit of biting his fingernails. This eventually leads him to discover the full properties of vampire blood.
* Dr. Block spends most of ''PlanetTerror'' with a medical thermometer between his teeth. He claims it's to help him "Maintain [his] level of stress," But it's probably more about JohnBrolin looking totally BadAss while doing it.
* The sketchy guy at the bowling alley ("That's why they call me Pal.") hitting on 15-year-old Tia in ''UncleBuck'' is playing with a toothpick. He ends up not looking sexy or badass when he gets stuck with it propping his mouth open.
* Penny Pingleton from ''{{Hairspray}}'' is constantly sucking on lollipops. Amanda Bynes was said to have eaten about 40 of them a day!
* Oliver Platt's "Cahill" in ''Film/ExecutiveDecision'' always chews a straw. It [[ChekhovsGun becomes important later]].
* [[MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] was a notorious cigar smoker - both in his acting roles and as a TV personality.
* Evan's mother in ''Film/TheButterflyEffect'' is seen anxiously chewing on her fingernails in one scene while Evan is being x-rayed. This is to foreshadow her chain-smoking as another oral response to the stress of Evan losing his arms in another timeline.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Literature]]
* DaChief Root from ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' does keeps a cigar in his mouth, like in the ''NeroWolfe'' example below, because actually lighting cigars is against regulations (good thing, too, as it's apparently a "fungus cigar").
* In the novel ''Literature/SongOfSolomon'' by Toni Morrison, the character Pilate is described as always chewing something: orange seeds, pine needles, a rubber band.
* The character Mars Bar in the novel ''Literature/ManiacMagee'' gets his nickname from his love of candy bars. He habitually holds one in his teeth like a fat cigar. Near the end, another character begins calling him Snickers.
* Gwen, one of the two {{Kid Detective}}s in the ''Something Queer [is going on]'' series, taps her braces when she is thinking hard, a habit which tends to annoy the people around her.
* Mr. Sir from ''{{Holes}}'' constantly chewed sunflower seeds. He used to smoke, but chewed seeds after he quit.
* Beaver, from Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'', is constantly chewing on toothpicks. [[spoiler:It leads, indirectly, to his death]].
* Ce'Nedra in ''The {{Belgariad}}'' habitually chews on her hair when nervous or thinking.
* ''NeroWolfe'': Police Inspector Cramer has a cigar in his mouth almost all the time - he hardly ever smokes it, he just chomps it. And this is ''not'' a bow to [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad Politically Correct]] views of smoking, as the character was doing this in stories published before World War II.
* ''[[TheSpaceTrilogy That Hideous Strength]]'', Major Hardcastle always has a cheroot in her mouth; she hardly ever lights it. When she does, watch out!
* [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Sir Samuel Vimes]] is often seen with a cigar, especially after he quit drinking.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', Bebe has a personal crisis when she [[CompressedVice tries to]] [[GoingColdTurkey give up smoking.]] She tells the family that her reason for smoking is that she has an oral fixation, then describes smoking in detail that clearly suggests [[FreudWasRight another activity]].
* The Fonz from ''Series/HappyDays'' chews on a toothpick a lot of the time.
* ''Series/{{Kojak}}'' and his lollipops. The lollipops specifically [[AddictionDisplacement replaced]] cigarettes.
* Spoofed in ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
** During the movie ''The Thing That Couldn't Die'', a cowboy with a ridiculously long and skinny cigar in his mouth prompts the quip "Nothing like smoking a Slim Jim."
** In ''{{Laserblast}}'' Crow mocks the cigarette chomping deputy "What do you mean I have oral fixation?"
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'':
** In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Office", Monk found a chewed toothpick at the scene of the crime, and commented that it meant the murderer was trying to be a tough guy... at which point he, and the viewer, first notice that Captain Stottlemeyer is a perpetual toothpick-chewer.
** In "Mr. Monk Takes a Vacation", Monk has to solve a murder at a hotel, and is helped by a member of the hotel security team. The security officer likes to pretend she's a real police officer, but all of her knowledge on police work (and officer stereotypes) are based on movies and TV shows. She chews toothpicks to complete the "police officer" look. At one point she offers Monk one, which he awkwardly accepts after she tells him they're individually wrapped.
* In the "Two A-Holes..." sketch series from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', 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 ''Series/{{Sh15uya}}'' seems very fond of lollipops, too.
* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' Paige sucks on lollipop for her first few episodes, but stops after Piper warns her about cavities.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** The 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 FanService. (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.
*** In ''Dinosaurs on a Spaceship'' he sticks his tongue out a ridiculous distance to taste the air and work out where they are, so it seems he hasn't completely lost the skill.
* D.I. Peter Carlisle in the BBC miniseries ''Series/{{Blackpool}}'' is almost always eating, and also played by DavidTennant. More FanService here.
** Carlisle also 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.
* ''Series/TheColbertReport'''s field reports are not complete without an unlikely object getting licked. Stephen once licked a ''meteorite''.
** While on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', Stephen demonstrates [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=108395&title=prince-charles-scandal how to eat a banana]] and later on ''Series/TheColbertReport'', [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/181164/november-09-2005/all-you-need-to-know---kansas-education how to siphon gasoline]].
** Stephen is frequently seen with a pen in his mouth, whether in the course of the show or in still photographs from the set. He also often uses food in various bits, and tends to lick things off of his fingers.
* Stiles Stilinski from ''Series/TeenWolf'' has a tendency to chew on stuff, including lacrosse gloves, overabundances of curly fries, and an underused highlighter cap to name a few of the victims.
* Geoffrey Tennant on ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'' chews ''razor blades.'' This is an homage to noted Shakespearean director John Barton, who apparently [[TruthInTelevision did this in real life.]]
* Director Leon Vance of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' is a toothpick chewer. At one point, he even tries to motivate [=McGee=] by giving him a freshly wrapped toothpick of his own. [=McGee=] promptly stabs himself inside the cheek with it. Toothpicks apparently take some skill.
* Jerry Espenson on ''BostonLegal'' chews a wooden cigarette due to his Aspergers. Alan Shore and Denny Crane prefer big cigars.
** In one episode Denny is disgruntled by Shirley's conciliatory approach to a case and smokes a rather pathetic cigar.
-->'''Shirley''': Small cigar.
-->'''Denny''': Seems appropriate for our wimpy defense.
* Mulder of ''Series/TheXFiles'' tends to put things like paper clips in his mouth and he's a big fan of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sunflower seeds]].
* Dr Chase from ''Series/{{House}}'' seems to be constantly putting pens in his mouth, especially in the earlier seasons.
* Don Eppes from ''Series/{{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.
* A running gag in ''Series/TheShadowLine'' is that the department used to be one where EverybodySmokes, but the recently-implemented national smoking ban for workplaces has left several characters resorting to substitutes.
** Sgt. Foley is always chewing gum.
** DaChief finds a pencil to chew on if he's somewhere he can't smoke.
** Bob Harris is in the process of giving up smoking, and substitutes with gum, nicotine inhalers and, er, rent boys.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* Duke in the ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}'' comic strip always has a lit cigarette in a cigarette holder hanging from his mouth. The character is based on Hunter S. Thompson, who made signature use of cigarette holders.
* One time in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' Charlie Brown found what he thought was the Little Red-Haired Girl's dropped pencil and saw that she had chewed on it. "She's human!"

** LighterAndSofter'd into a toothpick in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
* One of Mitsurugi's costumes in ''SoulCalibur 2'' gives him a blade of grass/wheat.
* Juan Corrida, one of the victims in ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' constantly has a piece of straw in his mouth- except in the photo of the crime scene, of course.
** In ''AceAttorney Investigations'', Detective Badd appears at first to be your standard hardboiled cop, smoking a cigarette, but it's actually a lollipop. (And as he sucks on it... his speech pauses... dramatically...)
* In the game ''VideoGame/WingCommander'', Captain Ian "Hunter" St. John constantly has a cigar in his mouth.
* In ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', Koki Kariya's lollipop/bean paste is sort of his personal [[IconicItem signature item]] to the point Beat tends to refer to him has "Lollipop" - subverted, though, as he never actually has it in his mouth when he appears, instead holding it. Rather delicately.
* You can equip a blade of grass just to invoke this trope in ''RagnarokOnline''.
* Detective Magnotta, ChristopherWalken's character in ''{{Ripper}}'', can simply '''not''' keep a cigar out of his mouth for more than five minutes. And he doesn't really even smoke them.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the titular character is frequently seen with a lollipop. Additionally, by pressing the button corresponding to the type of lollipop boost you want and holding it down until the lollipop comes onscreen, you can actually change the color of Bayonetta's lollipop [[spoiler:and get a (usually) much-needed boost. The best part? This doesn't count as a used item]].
* ''CommandAndConquer'': General Carville shows this at times.
* Captain Keyes in the first ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' game chews his grandfather's tobacco pipe. The books explain that he's not allowed to smoke it while onboard a spacecraft, because of the contained atmosphere.
* In the first ''{{Starcraft}}'' game, the image avatar for the Firebat unit was depicted with a cigarette in his mouth.
* The Engineer in the ''HalfLife'' ExpansionPack ''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 [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquents]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jUtxBOsFyg/TNs9bvGuSqI/AAAAAAAABKQ/ku9h7HkA7cM/s1600/03.png if they walk around chewing on them]].
* Johnathan Ingram, lead character of ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'', is always depicted with a cigarette in his mouth. And he never lights it. Several characters point out that it is illegal to smoke on a space colony because of air purification issues and/or the threat of the oxygen igniting. Though it's implied Johnathan doesn't smoke anyway.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Webcomics]]
* Dave from ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' was almost never seen without a cigarette in his mouth... until he went back in time and changed the past so that he never started smoking. It became a RunningGag that he would mention how he used to smoke and no one else would remember it.
* Merlu of ''Webcomic/{{Juathuur}}'' - straw version.
* Brent, from ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', chews on toothpicks.
* Carlita and Shanna from ''Webcomic/ElfBlood'' are rarely depicted without a cigarette in their mouths. Shanna even chain-smokes when she's stressed or particularly upset.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Jet from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' constantly chews on and holds a blade of grass in his mouth, but he loses it along with much of his [[BadAss badassery]] when he [[spoiler: gets brainwashed.]] [[GenreSavvy Sokka]] even tries to see if replacing it would help. It doesn't.
* Two in ''GIJoe'':
** Breaker is literally always chewing gum and is willing to disobey a direct order to discard it.
** Clutch, somewhat similarly, has been known to chew on the same toothpick for months.
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
** Dale Gribble is rarely seen without a cigarette in his mouth.

** In one episode he switches to chewing tobacco, but his wife convinces him to switch back when he won't stop spitting on the floor.
* Slim, a one-shot character in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', usually chewed a match. Another one-shot character, Spuds, would chew on a stick.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Maggie Simpson and her pacifier.
** An Ogdenville farmer on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has a piece of straw in his mouth.
* Played for laughs in one episode of ''TheFairlyOddParents'' with Cosmo and his wand, to show off his [[TheDitz ditz status]].
* Det. Harvey Bullock on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' constantly chewed a toothpick, in a way that made it rather clear he either used to smoke, or still did when the camera and censors weren't around. Once used for {{Squick}}, when he flicked it at his officious landlord. It stuck.
* BugsBunny and his carrots, which were kind of a substitute for a cigar.
** ''[[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Yankee Doodle Daffy]]'': Any time Sleepy [=LaGoon=] is on screen, he's seen licking his lollipop, which is so big it nearly conceals his face.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Newborn filly Pumpkin Cake has the odd habit of chewing on just about anything she can find -- except food. Tableclothes, bath towels, stuffed toys, rubber chickens, etc. As she's a month old when it really kicks in, it's possible she's teething (horses teeth at one month).
** Applejack can often be seen with a piece of straw in her mouth, as can her brother Macintosh.
** Pinkie's toothless alligator Gummy often vacantly latches onto objects or ponies.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* WinstonChurchill kept a cigar in his mouth pretty much from dawn until bedtime. At home he would just kind of chew on them unlit, and even had special sticky-paper bands made up to help hold them together.
* His pal FranklinDRoosevelt was a cigarette-in-a-holder guy, and was depicted that way everywhere -- except, weirdly, in his official memorial sculpture in Washington.
* DougWalker. If there's a giving-a-blowjob joke to be made, then ''by God'', he will make it. He's so fixated that it often seeps through to his characters; WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses is the most obvious with his pipe, but WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic gets some fun too.
* HaydenPanettiere seems to have this weird compulsion to lick things.
* Dave Grohl of Music/FooFighters is always seen chewing gum on stage, including whilst singing.
* MixedMartialArts fighter and UFC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson often fights with a toothpick hidden in his mouth, in spite of the danger this presents. He produced it from his mouth immediately after the final bell of his successful title defense against Nate Diaz, but denied it in the following interview. His coach admits that he has repeatedly told Henderson not to pull this stunt and even checks his mouth before fights, but Henderson still manages to sneak it in there sometimes.
* Although not every role that Brad Pitt plays has an oral fixation, [[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 more of his characters than is common]] are shown eating at some point. Pitt himself must be the one suggesting that his characters eat something in various scenes.
