Shoop at the strip bar?

His way of trying to pick up women, in an attempt to forget about Kirstie Alley's character.

The two women in that scene were extremely miscast. Shoop would never go for a couple of older unattractive women. Also, at the end of the scene it shows Larry go over to the women, and Shoop acts jealous of him as if he's hooking up with a couple of young babes. It's a good scene on paper, but the two women that they chose for it basically ruined it.

I can't help shed any light on this scene either just that I agree 100%. The only reason to put this scene in the movie is so we can find out why Larry is sleeping all the time of course But that does not explain why Mr. Shoop is in a strip bar on Ladies night telling women he works for Playgirl magazine that is just out of place in this film. I hope to find an answer one day too like perhaps this scene was extended and cut down for time sake or something and perhaps the longer cut would answer our questions. anyone else know?

"I shall. I do."

Back in the '80s clubs having male dancers like the Chippendales one night a week was very popular. And their advertisements in local newspapers said something about gentlemen being welcome after 1100pm. I assume the idea was that men would go there to be in a club packed with women. Back then I worked part-time at a movie theater snack bar. Frequently attractive women who came to the theater asked to speak with their friend, the assistant manager, a short perverted loser. I heard he met a lot of those ladies at one of the clubs on male dancer nights.
