Films
Edit
The Breakfast Trilogy
Edit

Mr. Tater prepares to eat breakfast, from Waffles
Mr. Tater made his first appearances in The Breakfast Trilogy, though Kevin does not feature in these films. These films also do not show the living room that the majority of the future installments are set in. The Breakfast Trilogy takes place within one day (as mentioned in Jam)[1] and the first two films were released just one day apart, on May 4th and 5th, 2004.[2][3]
Waffles (2004)
Edit
Mr. Tater is about to eat a plate of waffles, and decides to go get some syrup to put on them.[4]

Jam (2004)
Edit
Mr. Tater visits a psychiatrist who hears of Mr. Tater's alien sightings and thinks he is insane, but is soon proven wrong.[6]
The Lunch Trilogy
Edit

Kevin's first appearance, from Hot Dog
In The Lunch Trilogy, Mr. Tater was joined by the more sensible Kevin, who would appear in almost all of their future films. The events of this trilogy are not as closely related as those of The Breakfast Trilogy, though background references to Spider-Man in the first two Lunch films do build up to the third film, which features Spider-Man characters.[7]

Edit
Mr. Tater and his friend Kevin compete in a video game.[8]
Burrito (2004)
Edit

Edit
Doctor Octopus terrorizes Kevin and Mr. Tater for no reason as Spider-Man attempts to arrive to help.[7]
The Dinner Trilogy
Edit

Kevin and Mr. Tater in the very far future, from Meatloaf
The Dinner Trilogy was always planned as the final set of "Food" films,[10] which became further cemented by its unfinished status. After releasing one full installment, Morr had to rush the Christmas-themed Fruitcake to meet the Christmas deadline and released it unfinished.[11] Fruitcake teased the final Dinner film, Lasagna, and promised a 2005 release. Despite filming at least 3 minutes of Lasagna, Morr spoke of "story problems" and the film ultimately never surfaced.[12] Kevin and Mr. Tater would eventually return in films unrelated to Lasagna.

Edit
Mr. Tater is visited by the grim reaper, who wants to reap his soul.[13]
Fruitcake (2004)
Edit
On Christmas Eve, Kevin receives a phone call from Mr. Tater, who says he has caught a burglar.[14]
A Hannukah Message (2005)
Edit
"The first hannukka brickfilm... yes... super cameraman will become a legend... 8) DONT COPY ME IDEA."
- Super Cameraman, December 4, 2005
Mr. Tater wishes the audience a happy Hanukkah, but has his head stolen by a monkey.[15] This film was created when Brickfilms.com user Max "Super Cameraman" Goldberg was over-hyping his plan to release "the first Hannukah brickfilm", so Morr quickly created A Hannukah Message to beat him to the punch.[16]
"Haha, the idea stunk anyway. I mean really, The First Hannukah Brickfilm?"
- Super Cameraman, January 12, 2006

Other Films Featuring Kevin and Mr. Tater
