Arthur Spooner’s Top 15 Food-Related Meltdowns [VIDEO COLLECTION]

Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller), for those unfamiliar, is the sarcastic, scheming and eccentric basement-dwelling father of Carrie on the sitcom King of Queens. To give a bit more context on Arthur’s personality and background, he is a steadfast socialist, an erratic and loud shouter, and has explicitly forbid a variety of items from his daughter’s house: Halloween, red pens, soft cheese, non-American VCRs and miniature Kit Kats (wiki). His absurd personality has found its intrusiveness on the fictional Heffernan household and often boils over when food is involved.
