Contrast the [[Fat Bastard]], which is when the fat person is, well... [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|a bastard]].

* ''[[Shrek]]'', in a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] sense. He puts on a [[Fat Bastard]] facade because he doesn't like how "people judge me before they even get to know me."

* A number of John Candy characters fit this trope including [[Planes, Trains and Automobiles|Del]], [[Uncle Buck|Buck Russell]], [[Spaceballs (Film)|Barfomolew]], and Ox from ''[[Stripes]]''.

* Robe from ''[[Max KeeblesKeeble's Big Move]]''

* As mentioned above, the movie version of [[Thor (Filmfilm)|Volstagg]] is just as fun as his comic counterpart.

* The Blob from ''[[X Men Origins: Wolverine (Film)|Wolverine: Origins]]'' is a lot more fun than his villainous counterpart in the comic books.

* [[Aubrey -Maturin|Captain Jack Aubrey]] has often been chided by Stephen Maturin over his weight. He weighs around 18 stone, which is roughly 250 pounds. Of course, he's also an excellent fighter, which puts him squarely in [[Stout Strength]] (and possibly [[Genius Bruiser]], considering his tactical prowess) territory. He also loves to party when he has the chance, and he's been known to make an utter fool of himself in social occasions, which makes him a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] too. The ladies seem to appreciate it too: He's practically the [[James Bond]] of the Napoleonic War era.

* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'': King Robert Baratheon. Also a slight deconstruction; as a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] put into the role of king and forced into a loveless political marriage after the woman he fought the war for in the first place died, Robert's been unable to exercise most of his appetites, which has led him to grow fat. The jovial humor masks a ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|heavy]]'' accumulation of grief, rage, and utter disappointment.

* Hurley on ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]''.

* Eli on ''[[Stargate Universe (TV)|Stargate Universe]]''.

* Gibby on ''[[I CarlyiCarly]]''.

{{quote| '''Gordon:''' My whole family's big-boned. It's genetic.<br />

'''Harris:''' Besides, the world loves jolly fat guys. Burl Ives. Jackie Gleason.<br />

'''Gordon:''' Santa Claus. Curly. Raymond Burr.<br />

'''Neal:''' No. Raymond Burr isn't jolly.<br />

* ''[[Flash Gordon (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Flash Gordon]]'' has Vultan of the Hawkmen. The dude can ''fly,'' too! Those are some strong wings!

* BFF Nella. She has issues, of course (mostly to do with being abused) but she's a lot happier than the more conventionally pretty, [[Jerkass]], [[Broken Bird]] [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|Nostalgia Chick]].

* Zeke in ''[[In FamousInfamous (Videovideo game Gameseries)|In Famous]]''. By all accounts, a friendly, easygoing kind of guy. Sadly, {{spoiler|his urge to become a superhero results in him betraying Cole later in the game.}} Thankfully, he recovers in the sequel, becoming a much better friend to Cole in the process.

* Big Smoke in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.

* Gordo the Round in ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'' starts off as a [[Fat Bastard]], but he pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]], opens up his own gourmet restaurant, and becomes the game's [[Big Fun]] after he is defeated.

* Both Brom and his daughter Meg from ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn]]'' are rather upbeat, cheerful country folk. Brom explains that the girth itself is [[Stout Strength|rather useful for managing farm equipment.]]

* Fatman from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' would qualify, except for the detail that his idea of fun is blowing things up with bombs. Still great fun at parties if you check him for C-4 at the door.

{{quote| '''Fatman:''' ''Laugh, and grow fat!''}}

* [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|The Heavy]], to his own team, at least. To everyone else, he's describable as "a big, shaved bear that hates people."

** While on the topic of [[Valve Software (Creator)Corporation|Valve]], Gabe Newell himself.

* Forrest Kaysen of ''[[Deadly Premonition (Video Game)|Deadly Premonition]]'' is an enormous sapling salesman with an unfailingly jolly attitude and a friendly pet dalmatian. He's good with kids and becomes a steadfast ally in some of the game's later acts. {{spoiler|[[Averted Trope|Absolutely none of this means that he's]] ''[[Fat Bastard|nice]].'' [[Eldritch Abomination|He isn't.]] [[Big Bad|He]] [[The Corruption|really,]] [[Manipulative Bastard|really]] [[Complete Monster|isn't.]]}}

* The Wii version of ''[[Punch -Out!!]]'' gives us returning challenger Bear Hugger, who, while easily one of the physically ''widest'' and most rotund boxers to get in Little Mac's way, is also an entertaining, goofy [[Boisterous Bruiser]] with a big laugh, whose lines are pure comic gold, usually playing into his [[Canada, Eh?]] stereotype for all it's worth. He also seems to be in it for fun rather than harboring any serious thoughts of contending or being outright [[Ax Crazy]].

* [[Rare Female Example]]: Reagan from [[Templar, Arizona|Templar, AZ]]. Besides being a [[BBW]] and resident [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]] (literally, being the owner of a porn shop), she's probably the funnest of all the cast to be around.

* Another female example is Jamie from ''[[Girls Withwith Slingshots]]'', a [[BBW]] who is as sweet, friendly, and helpful as she is... uh... [[Gag Boobs|boobs]].

* Uncle Iroh from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''

** His successor in ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' looks to be Bolin

* [[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|Homer Simpson]], at least to himself.

{{quote| '''Homer:''' Marge, the boy was wearing a Hawaiian shirt.<br />

'''Marge:''' So? <br />

'''Homer:''' There's only two kind of guys who wear those shirts: gay guys and big, fat party animals. And Bart doesn't look like a big, fat party animal to me...<br />

'''Marge:''' So, if you wore a Hawaiian shirt, it wouldn't be gay? <br />

* Baloo, from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' and ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'', is this, but in [[Beary Funny|bear form]].

* Owen on ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]''.

* Eddie Spenser, ''[[FilmationsFilmation's Ghostbusters (Animation)|Filmations Ghostbusters]]''.

* Bouncing Boy of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] is this.

* Hedonism Bot in ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''.

* This was Spud's contribution to [[Titan Maximum (Animation)|Titan Force Five]], until his tragic fall down a 400-story building.
