Also called ''fatbastarditis''. Once a television character reaches a certain level of tubbiness, the show they are in will lose all sympathy for them. It is generally assumed that overweight people are either pathetic, obnoxious losers or [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]s. They also tend to be portrayed as ludicrously obsessive eaters. Furthermore, most are portrayed as [[Fat Slob|lazy, having poor hygiene, bad grooming, and no fashion sense]]. Glandular conditions, genetic tendencies, a natural endomorph body type, and low metabolism are treated as lame excuses alongside the "I'm just big-boned" mold.
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' had a lot of fat characters, but several truly stand out. The most famous of them is Mr. Heart, who is ten feet tall, and so fat that if you punch him 'your fist gets stuck up to the elbow.' He is famous for being the first villain to present a challenge and actually do damage to the main hero. Then there's Galf, who looks like an evil version of Mr. Weatherbee from Archie comics, who is obsessed with his dogs. The second series includes Geira, an obese Jabba the Hutt-esque man who hypnotizes people, and Gyoko, a man so fat that he sinks into the ground when he walks.
* In ''[[Death Note]]'', there's Demegawa, the corrupt TV producer and presenter. His greed and corruptness make one of Light's plans fail. Moreover, as Kira grows in power and influence, he throws himself wholeheartedly into the role of [[Professional Butt-Kisser]] when it becomes clear who's in charge.
* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'': Fat Buu ''seems'' to be this... but while [[Psychopathic Manchild|fat and childish]], [[Obliviously Evil|he is not intentionally cruel]] and, in the end, winds up [[Heel Face Turn|as one of the good guys.]]
** Definitely an inversion, as he gets ''eviler'' as he gets thinner, from Fat Buu, to the trim-but-buff Super Buu who is evil but at least has a sense of purpose and a tiny germ of honor, to half-pint Kid Buu who's just a [[Complete Monster]] [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
* [[General Ripper|General Regius Gaiz]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'', though his portrayed evil traits of power-hungriness and petty jealousy turned out to have stemmed from [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|well-intentioned reasons that sort of got overblown]] when he rose in power and got manipulated [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness|by the people who saw him as a useful puppet]]. One [http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z45/thekrazycow/StrikerS_nano/strikers_nano161.png 4koma strip], based around the scene at the end of Episode 23 when Zest confronts him with a picture of the two and asks what happened to the justice he hoped to pursue, has Zest also ask what happened to his muscles.
* Haruka Nishiharu from ''[[Girls Saurus]]'', until she's forced go through a miracle diet. She still remains a pretty violent [[Tsundere]] afterwards.
* The Major from ''[[Hellsing]]''.
* Averted with Kurita from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', who is both one of the heaviest characters in the series and [[Gentle Giant|one of the nicest]].
* Fat Buttcha from ''[[Air Gear]]''. The guy (when first introduced) takes this term to a new extreme: apparently his "fat" is nothing more than a pool of blood, blood that he can subsequently pump into his arms. The Bastard part? Ikki thinks that he can will a race against Buttcha because the guy is so fat, but the latter tells the former that (in his mini-hulk mode) he is just thin enough to fit down the alley they both need to pass through, but fat enough that no one can get around him.
* Taikon from the fourth ''[[Bleach]]'' movie.
* Averted to the extreme in ''[[The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer]]''. While Shimaki is fat, he is very smart, competent, and probably the most valuable member of the group he's in. Hell the fact that he is fat is barely even addressed in the series since it's just a physical characteristic and not part of his personality.
* [[Depraved Homosexual|Captain]] [[Complete Monster|Continental]] in ''[[Legend of the Blue Wolves]]''.
* Nakai in ''[[Bakuman｡]]'' used to be sympathetic despite being overweight. But then he [[Took a Level in Jerkass]] and starts being manipulative once success starts going to his head, which disgusts the woman he viewed as his love interest. He ultimately gets [[Put on a Bus]] and moves back home with his mother. {{spoiler|By the time he returns from his bus trip, he's even more overweight, has an even more repulsive personality and is currently working with the current antagonist of the series.}}
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
*** Another example from Spider-Man's corner of the MU would be Nick Katzenberg, a Daily Bugle photographer and professional rival to Peter Parker. While not evil, Katzenberg was sleazy, immoral, and generally unpleasant.
* Also in the [[Marvel Universe]] is the Slug; a drug dealer who makes the Kingpin look svelte. He is so obese he cannot move without the aide of a motorised chair and can suffocate people in the folds of his flesh.
* Another Marvel example is Douglas Carmody, one of ''[[Power Pack]]''{{'}}s few recurring bad guys. A fat, middle aged, balding, jobless, [[Fantastic Racism]] fueled, ex-bureaucrat who barely fits in his low-end [[Power Armor]] that manages to remain one of the group's biggest threats simply because he knows their secret identity, fights them one at a time and is not afraid to trick the small children. {{spoiler|This is taken to an extreme during ''[[Inferno (Comic Book)|Inferno]]'' when [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|he's thrown into limbo and demons eat his "greasy" soul away]] turning him into a grotesque obese shark monster.}}
* Allfather D'Aronique from ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'' is fat to the point that his personal aircraft inevitably sustains damage landing. On the top of that, he's also bulimic. As such, D'Aronique has no qualms about [[Jabba Table Manners|messily gorging himself with food and then vomiting all over himself in front of his subordinates]].
* ''[[Brewster Rockit: Space Guy]]'' - Cliff Clewless. The idea is in his name. He's supposed to be the station's engineer, but knows nothing beyond making an idiot of himself (though not the same level as Brewster, whose stupidity is beyond measure), lazing around, and causing trouble to himself and his crew mates.▼
* The cynical fatty tabby, ''[[Garfield]]''. Other than abusing Odie and making his owner's life hell, he does nothing but eat and sleep.▼

He's supposed to be the station's engineer, but knows nothing beyond making an idiot of himself (though not the same level as Brewster, whose stupidity is beyond measure), lazing around, and causing trouble to himself and his crew mates.
* [[Corrupt Politician]] Amanda Waller is one in most adaptations of ''[[Justice League]]''.
* Both Roark brothers in the comic version of ''[[Sin City]]'' are overweight and look unhygenic. Herr Wallenquist also has this look. They are all extremely evil crimebosses.
Line 61:
* ''[[Dick Tracy (comic strip)|Dick Tracy]]'' villain Oodles; one strip where he weighed himself had him at 465 lbs (without his guns) and ''happy'' because that meant he lost weight!
== Fan
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin|Councilmen]] Arnold of ''[[Soulless shell|
* [[Sadist Teacher|Mr. Davidson]] in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew No Hope Left]]''. He "talks about George Bush and shit" and shoots aliens in the leg.
* {{spoiler|Sasuke}}, [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|of all people]] in ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]''. His evil scheme involves, among other things, turning everyone in the shinobi nations fat.
== Films -- Animated ==
* Played with in ''[[WALL-E]]''. After centuries of living in a low-gravity environment, being waited on hand and foot by robots, and near-constant bombardment by [[Mega Corp|Buy 'n' Large's]] consumer culture run rampant, every human aboard the ''Axiom'' is fat, slothful (both physically and mentally), and almost helpless... until the title character shows up and shakes up the status quo. And being fat and almost completely out of shape doesn't stop the Captain from {{spoiler|stopping the rogue autopilot from taking over the ship and making sure the ''Axiom'' gets back to Earth.}} Nor does it stop the rest of them from {{spoiler|rebuilding civilization on Earth, which, as depicted during the end credits, results in them becoming fitter and stronger...but still quite fat!}}
** Interestingly, aside from the obvious infantilism of the human race by this point from being overly coddled by their own technology, they're not really shown as degenerate, just ignorant. As well, take a close look at the dates on the Captain photos when they scroll by about 43 minutes into the film. Even though they're getting fatter and more helpless, the captains are living longer (presumably, all the humans are similarly long-lived). While they were [[Well-Intentioned Extremist
* ''[[Monsters
* Sykes in ''[[Shark Tale]]''.
* King Malbert in ''[[Igor]]''.
* ''[[Wonder Woman (animation)|Wonder Woman]]''{{'}}s depiction of Hades.
* Pete in all of his roles in [[Disney]] stuff is incredibly fat and an incredible bastard.
** Interestingly averted in ''[[Goof Troop]]'', where Pete is still a fat bastard but his son P.J., who's shaped pretty much like him (but with less of the ugly) is a really nice kid.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* The corrupt mayor, after eating one too many falling cheeseburgers and hotdogs from ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]''.
* The Big City Agent from ''[[The Trumpet of the Swan]]''.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
Line 86 ⟶ 84:
** Bonus points as Gutman is called "The Fat Man" by the characters.
* Most of the characters played by Laird Cregar, perhaps most memorably the prissy chocoholic villain Willard Gates in ''This Gun for Hire''.
* Jabba the Hutt of ''[[Star Wars]]'' fame. Yes, he's an alien, but he was originally supposed to just be a fat hairy
* The cruel and corrupt Porky from the ''[[Porky's]]'' series of movies.
* Rasputia from ''[[Norbit]]''.
Line 93 ⟶ 91:
* George from ''[[Mean Creek]]'' played by Josh Peck.
* Just in case anyone missed it in the opening paragraphs, Fat Bastard from the ''[[Austin Powers]]'' films is the [[Trope Namer]]. He weighs a metric ton and [[Eats Babies]].
* ''[[Blade (film)|Blade]]'' - Pearl, the morbidly obese blob of a vampire record keeper. Heck, the only record keeping she keeps is her mouth! Might have been the basis for Balthazar in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.
** That character was supposed to be a ''woman''? I thought it was just a guy with a high voice.
** He is. He's supposed to be a femme gay. Blade even said, "If HE moves, fry HIM."
* ''[[Overdrawn at the Memory Bank]]'' had "really,

▲* ''[[Overdrawn at the Memory Bank]]'' had "really, REALLY big brother". Can someone please turn off the revolving fat man?
▲* ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' has exactly ONE fat prisoner. Don't remember him much? That's because he's the one that breaks down crying on his first night, and is promptly beaten to death by the guards.
* ''[[The Commitments]]'' about an Irish R&B group has lead singer Deco an obnoxious and egomaniacal lout.
* Mr. Creosote from ''[[Monty Python's The Meaning of Life]]''. He is ''unquestionably'' fat, and also rather rude to the restaurant staff. If going out of your way to puke on them isn't poor etiquette...
Line 113 ⟶ 110:
* ''[[Harry Potter]]''
** The male Dursleys, particularly Dudley. Indeed, in Dudley's introductions in the first book, Rowling spends nearly as much time going over how fat he is as she does over his actual bullying of Harry.
:Rowling did eventually become uncomfortable with how she was using this trope to equate evil with being overweight, and eventually gave Dudley enough physical training for him to be a competent boxer. Of course, then in the last book Dudley turns out to be halfway decent at the last second, so . . .▼

Of course, then in the last book Dudley turns out to be halfway decent at the last second, so . . .
** Peter Pettigrew, evil murderous traitor extraordinaire, is described as having been fat or 'chubby' in his youth, though when they first see him as an adult he has the look of 'having lost a great deal of weight in a short amount of time' which is equally unflattering.
** Umbridge is described as having rolls of fat.
Line 125 ⟶ 121:
* Augustus Gloop from ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]''.
** And how. Like all the kids in the book he's an [[Anvilicious]] [[Aesop]], in his case about gluttony. Alongside [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|avarice, sloth, and...]] [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|gum-chewing]]. Hmm.
* Early in the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'', Warlord Zsinj was an enemy of the New Republic and one of the very few humans in Star Wars described as overweight at all. His portrayal in ''[[The Courtship of Princess Leia]]'' showed him as venal, highly evil, self-important, and very, very [[Fat Idiot|stupid]]. His successes seem to be all related to the size of his fleet and the programs his scientists set up. The ''[[X Wing Series]]'' [[Retcon
** Hutts, which are specifically said to be lithe and muscular when young and become progressively more obese as they grow older and gather more power, are almost universally disgusting. Almost. There's some record that a Hutt was once a very fair and very popular Chancellor of the Republic.
*** There is also a subversion in at least one Hutt Jedi, who is implied to get more powerful in the force as he gets fatter, presumably because he has more life force, or something.
Line 135 ⟶ 131:
{{quote|[...] he stood to reveal a modest paunch curving gently from beneath his sternum [[Purple Prose|like a frozen waterfall of suet]], to crash and tumble [[Squick|somewhere below the waistline]] in a jumble of uniform.}}
* This trope is closely examined in [[Robin Hobb]]'s ''Soldier Son'' trilogy. After {{spoiler|Nevare}} grows extremely fat as a side effect of a disease, he notices how people's attitudes towards him have changed drastically to the worse. People who haven't even talked to him make fun of his size in his presence, and some are even openly hostile. He pretty much has to prove to those he meets that he ''isn't'' a bastard, because they tend to assume he is.
* Inverted by Harold Lauder in ''[[
* ''[[The Bible]]'' [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%203:12-28&version=KJV describes] the assassination of a [[Adipose Rex|very fat king]] who leaks excrement when he is stabbed. He oppressed the Israelites for eighteen years, which perhaps explains why this particular detail was included by those who wrote the account.
* A good female example is found in the person of The Ancestress, an early villain in ''[[Bridge of Birds]].'' Li Kao recalls her as a beautiful, scheming concubine who butchered all of her rivals and their children, then had the Emperor murdered and set herself up as a regent over her weak-willed son for years, where her extravagance ran the empire into the ground; her son got blamed and subsequently executed in a coup, while she retired to a life of luxury. By the time we see her, however, she has gained two hundred pounds out of overindulgence. When she finally meets her end, in a gruesome manner typical to this series, she is described as blundering around the room crushing her own guards with her monstrous weight while {{spoiler|Henpecked Ho}} pursues her with an axe. About the best thing that you can say for the Ancestress is that she was a [[Complete Monster]] long before she was fat.
* [[Tim Powers]] uses this villain archetype in several of his novels—Leo Friend in ''On Stranger Tides'' and Loretta deLarava in ''Expiration Date'' are both described as extremely, grotesquely fat.
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' story "The Phoenix on the Sword", Ascalante sneers at one of the nobles who thought they had hired him as "the fat baron of Attalus."
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire
** ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' is filled with this trope. There's Yezzan zo Qaggaz, an extremely wealthy slave owner who is called (behind his back) the Yellow Whale for his yellow eyes and the fact that he is so obese that he cannot stand unassisted. Ser Amory Lorch isn't as fat as him, but still quite fat and also a [[Complete Monster]]. Magister Illyrio is morbidly obese and seems to be decidedly amoral.
** However, this trope is subverted with Lord Wyman Manderly, who is another morbidly obese person who at first seems to be this trope, but it turns out this was a ploy and he is actually a pretty good guy.
* The [[Big Bad]] of book 1 and 2 of ''[[Detectives in Togas]]''.
== Live-Action TV ==
* Inverted/Avoided in ''[[Mike and Molly]]''; both of the main characters are overweight, but generally kind (if [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]]) people; sometimes the kindest ones on the show.
* There's a character on ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' who's overweight, a geek, and has a medical condition that makes him smell bad. The three main Geeks avoid him for the first half of the season, but once he is paired with Sam (instead of Sam's crush) he confronts Sam, and he is seen hanging out with them occasionally throughout the rest of the series.
* Exception: on ''[[House
* Averted in ''[[Lost]]'', which has been fairly sensitive dealing with Hurley's obesity. While not often addressed directly, a major part of Hurley's character is guilt related to his weight. He was previously involved in a deck collapse in which two people died. He refuses to ration the food, then is found to have hoarded some. In the fourth season finale, {{spoiler|Frank comments that the helicopter needs to shed [[American Customary Measurements|a few hundred pounds]]. The camera focuses on a conflicted Hurley, and then Sawyer jumps from the helicopter so Hurley won't have to.}}
** Fairly sensitive? Maybe in season 1, when Hurley was a character with many traits (decent, kind, somewhat crazy, obsessed by the numbers...) who also happened to be fat. In season 2, his being fat became the focal point of his character - the most important thing about him, what caused his mental illness, his [[Fatal Flaw]], etc. And all those Sawyer fat jokes - sure, James was still a [[Jerkass]], but Hugo's weight was by far his favourite target. Then there was that bit about Libby falling in love with him, and after she is revealed to be a former patient in a mental hospital - [[Unfortunate Implications|implying that an attractive young woman would fall for an obese guy only if she's not completely sane]]. After season 2 it got better, admittedly.
Line 156 ⟶ 151:
** Also the Marshal from "The Mutants," an obese human colonialist who refuses to relinquish his power over an apartheid-like regime.
** Or maybe you're stealing food rations during WWII.
** However, basically subverted in the ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'' books. The Doctor's [[Worthy Opponent]] Sabbath (who serves as an [[Expy]] of the Master, but more reasonable) is rather on the chubby side of [[Stout Strength]], because he just doesn't care about his appearance (for the same reason, his hair is so short as to almost count as [[Bald of Evil]]). Once in a while, [[I Shall Taunt You|other characters make unflattering remarks about it]], but only rarely. And it provides for an excellent [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] opportunity in one book, where with a suit which is ''only slightly'' [[Bigger on the Inside]], he almost effectively disguises himself ''and'' proves that the Doctor doesn't realize that humans can lose weight or something.<ref>''‘Your suit distracted me for a while,’ he added. ‘I couldn’t understand how you managed to squeeze your rather ample form inside it.’''</ref> He falls just short of being [[Affably Evil]], and has a number of [[Enemy Mine]] situations (and quite a lot of [[Foe Yay]]) with the Doctor. He just happens to be quite evil and quite large.<ref>And [[Big Eater]] Fitz, who is in actual fact described as looking like he's "made of pipe cleaners", seems to eat more than he does, so Sabbath is hardly a [[Villainous Glutton]].</ref>
** Also subverted by the Adipose. Sure, the species are comprised of fat-cells, but the villain helping them get born is extremely thin and the only way for them to breed is for people to ''lose weight''. If people were happy with how fat they were, there would have been no problem.
*** And they're [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103021622/http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/f/f1/Hello%21.jpg so cute!]
Line 162 ⟶ 157:
* Boss Hogg from ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard]]''.
* Newman from ''[[Seinfeld]]''. He's so obese that he often becomes short of breath in his angry, hateful rants.
* Downplayed with [[Da Chief|
* Balthazar from the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode ''Bad Girls''.
* Naturally averted in ''[[Roseanne]]''. For the most part.

* Ugly Naked Guy in ''[[Friends]]''.
** Interestingly enough, in a flashback episode, the character was described by Phoebe as "cute naked guy" who was just starting to put on some weight. By the time of "The One Where Monica Gets a Room-Mate", he was fat.
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': has two examples: Jim and Nerus. Jim was the persona of Anubis's projection onto the [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|Ascended Plane]]. He was a fat, abrasive man at the Astral Diner who delighted in mocking the ascended being who made his ascension possible: {{spoiler|Oma Desala}}. Keep in mind that Anubis was a [[Complete Monster]] [[Omnicidal Maniac]] with [[A God Am I|a god complex]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|who was considered evil even by Goa'uld standards.]] Nerus was a minor Goa'uld who appeared in two episodes: "Beachhead" and "Off the Gird", both in Season 9. He was likely inspired by [[Greek Mythology|Dionysus]]/[[Roman Mythology|Bacchus]]. He was described by Vala Mal Doran as the definition of "avarice and gluttony". He was deceitful and had many [[Squick|...appetites]]. He got what was coming to him though when the SGC sent him back to Ba'al (whom he had betrayed in his first appearance) with a box of the Hostess cakes he so loved with claiming to have only served the [[Religion of Evil|Ori]] as a spy. {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard|The cakes contained subspace transmitters that planted a virus in the ship's shields and navigation systems and broadcast their location to human forces who quickly arrived and took them all out,]] [[You Have Failed Me...|though not before Ba'al killed him.]]}}

Once someone's initiated into the bloodline, they gain up to 150 pounds in the next few nights. Oh, and the bloodline is made up mostly of cultured gourmands with a special taste for [[I'm a Humanitarian|long pork]].
* Subverted and lampshaded in ''[[Exalted]]'': Sesus Nagezzer, one of the canonical Dragon-Bloods, [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|deliberately ignores his obesity problem]], to the point where he's been nicknamed "the Slug". [[Retired Badass|Before he became so]], [[Colonel Badass|he was a brilliant officer in the Realm's army]], and he's picked up [[The Chessmaster|a few]] [[Manipulative Bastard|tricks]] since he lost the use of a leg.
