Line 87:
* Occurs in [http://garfield.nfshost.com/2007/11/04/ this] ''[[Garfield]]'' strip.
** Inverted in [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1995/07/06/ this] one, in which Garfield is given a lasagna that's low calorie and one-third fat. He requests two more.
* A similar situaton was depicted in a ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'' strip in which the already-corpulent Sergeant Snorkel piled one sinfully indulgent treat after another from the Camp Swampy cafeteria onto his tray, and when called out for it defended himself by saying that everything in the cafeteria was low-fat. This prompted Beetle to point out that the only ''high''-fat thing in the cafeteria was Sarge himself!
Line 117:
== [[Web Original]] ==
* In ''[[The Salvation War]]'', [[Bill Clinton]] orders in a Macdonald’s "a double quarter-pounder with extra cheese, two super-size portions of fries, oh and a small diet soda please."
* [[(The Customer is) Not Always Right]] has [http://notalwaysright.com/not-seeing-the-forest-for-the-greasy-trees a story] about a customer at a movie theater concession stand who asks for enough artificial butter in his popcorn to make it start swimming, and then says "Lemme have a Diet Coke. A small one. I’m trying to watch my weight."
== Western Animation ==
Line 128:
* On ''[[DuckTales]]'' when Burger Beagle orders a (rather large) meal from Gizmo Duck (he's pretending to be the drive-thru robot speaker), he orders a diet cola as well.
* ''[[Family Guy]]'': While driving Lois' pregnant sister to the hospital, Peter stops off at a drive-thru to order several cheeseburgers, but vacillates on the fries: "If I have fries, is anyone else gonna have any? I don't wanna be the only one eating 'em. I'll feel like a fatty."
** They later did a straight depiction of the "heavy woman drinking diet soda" gag, and they were even nice enough to [[Don't Explain the Joke|explain the joke]].
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'': When Harold gets teased for being overweight, he decides to get something else from the Jolly Olly Man instead of his regular 6 Mister Fudgies. The Jolly Olly Man says that diet Mister Fudgies have half the fat of regular ones. Harold orders 12 of them. Nothing about this scene (or the episode) is played for laughs.
* ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]'' has a subtle example where Darla Dimple is pigging out on a big pile of food. It's mostly junk food, but if you look closely there's a single apple on the pile.
