[[WMG: Skipper Dan is stretching the truth.]]
Despite what he says, his "phenomenal rave reviews" were really pretty average. He's not the ''worst'' actor who came down the pike, but he's hardly the best. He just can't stop thinking about the GloryDays.

** Considering Trapped in a Drive-Thru could be considered a food song, could he be relapsing? Or could it be placed before Grapefruit Diet? Oh and congrats on the marriage, food guy.

[[WMG:Skipper Dan doesn't HAVE to work on the Jungle Cruise.]]
He works there because his girlfriend can't find any other work; he easily could. She appears briefly in the music video, she's the girl who shares the "shooting self" gesture with him.
* Wait, how do you know that he even has a girlfriend? And why do they have to work in the same place anyway (especially when most places actually don't allow it)?

I'm sure when he's deep in a tour sometimes he wishes he was working a humble desk job or something more fitting to his education - something that would give him more time at home with the family. I'm not saying her regrets it - it's just even in the best jobs you have days you wish you were doing something else. He was a a grade-A student, graduated early, went to Cal Polytechnic, etc - and now he's a showman.

Look at his songs. "Fat". "Eat It". "My Bologna". "Lasagna". "I Love Rocky Road". "Living in the Fridge". "Spam". "Addicted to Spuds". "Girls Just Want to Have Lunch". "Taco Grande". "Waffle King". "Grapefruit Diet". I posit that no other human being has ever written this many songs about food. Not to mention other things, such as the fact that he did a much-belated parody of "[=MacArthur=] Park" (which is about a cake), and "Albuquerque" is bookended with a rant about sauerkraut and has a roughly one-minute stretch where all he does is list different types of doughnuts. But hey, it seems to have worked for him; he's been thin as a rake throughout recorded history, except during parts of the "Fat" video.

*** In that case, "Eat It" should probably be a flashback song about his childhood, explaining how his parents forced him into his gluttonous lifestyle. The problem is that this postdates two significant food songs, so either the songs need to be presented out of album order or the flashback needs to be three songs in.

[[WMG:The viewpoint character in "You Don't Love Me Anymore" is the same as the one in Bruno Mars's "Grenade".]]
He's a bit more savvy about her personality in "Grenade", but his feelings haven't changed, as both songs are about a guy who's hopelessly in love with a woman who is sufficiently not into him to do such things as administer beatings and tamper with his brakes, topics that come up in both songs. Everything he describes in the chorus of "Grenade" is something she's actually done to him (tossed him grenades, shot him in the head, thrown him in front of a train, etc.) And yet he is still willing to take her back, and may in fact be becoming masochistic.

* Piecing this together, it seems that this character is an overweight Italian-American who can speak passable Spanish, he's a parent, and he has suffered from addictions to bologna, rocky road ice cream, potatoes, spam, and Oreo cookie filling. He may have also become a waffle industry giant. Yipe.

There was been no song about food on either Poodle Hat or Straight Outta Lynwood. The album before that, Running With Scissors, had Grapefruit Diet, about a very fat man who is going on a diet. The guy from Grapefruit Diet is the same as the guy from Fat, and all of the songs dealing with food in between. Now that he's on a diet, there probably won't be another food song.
