Fat Bastard: Difference between revisions

* Eric Cartman of ''[[South Park]]''. Most notably in two episodes where 1), during his family reunion, all of his family members, save for his mother and grandmother who are thin and caring, are fat annoying slobs. 2) Where Eric from the future, who lost weight and became a better person in general (and wealthy to boot), came to the past to tell Eric to be a good human being. Eric (thinking it was a trick) delivered the generic "screw you" line and said he would stay the way he was, after the other characters were out of view the future Eric transformed into a dirty obese mechanic as a result of his younger self not "changing for the better".

** Rob Reiner in the episode "Butt Out" uses propaganda to point out the dangers of smoking while ignoring his obesity to the point he needs butter to squeeze out of his limo.

* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', Peter Griffin's tendency to invoke this trope is probably the most obvious difference between him and [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]]. While Homer can gobble down platefuls of food for laughs, Peter's usually only shown in the same context as food when the point is supposed to be that he's a [[Jerkass]].

** One episode in particular stands out - Peter forms an awareness group for fat people discrimination, and every last one of them conforms to this trope, making disturbing groaning noises, busting out snacks every few minutes, and making excuses for all their actions. One half-dead fat guy actually interrupts the action to ask if he can eat a dead fat guy that's in the same room as he is.
