Line 3:
"Able Seaman Johnson said he'd 'ave a try,"
"But Able Seaman Johnson is such rotten cook,"
"Able Seaman Johnson has gone and eaten Mrs. Beaton's book!"

In fiction, being overweight doesn't necessarily mean you're probably [[Fat Bastard|a bad person.]]
Line 18 ⟶ 20:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Gluttony from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' is basically a pet ball of fat who consumes everything in his path. He's dull-witted enough in the anime, but in the manga, it takes Alphonse Elric about 30 seconds to convince Gluttony to lead his enemies right past all the defenses in the headquarters and right up to the [[Big Bad]].
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* The [[Meaningful Name|appropriately named]] Schmöck from a story by [[Wilhelm Busch]].
== [[Fan
* Arnold of ''[[Soulless shell
* Arthur in ''A Very Special Arthur'', who becomes retarded during the course of the story and is also described as quite overweight.
* Wheatley in the ''[[Portal 2]]'' fanfic ''[[Test Of Humanity]]''. Of course, he was dim-witted before putting on weight.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* This trope is largely averted in the ''[[Discworld]]'' books as the wizards are mostly very fat while being very clever (if not wise). On the other hand most of the more dynamic, forward looking wizards tend not to be fat such as Ponder Stibbons and (in a ''very'' different way) Ymper Trymon.
** Sergeant Colon is a straighter example, though he's portrayed more as an average man on the street than a moron.
*** Vetinari [[Invoked Trope|invokes the trope]] when he takes Colon along with him in ''[[
{{quote|'''Vetinari''': The entire success of this plan depends on you seeming to be a fat idiot!
'''Sgt. Colon''': I'm not too good at acting, sir.
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
* Homer Simpson from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
** Chief Wiggum, Ralph Wiggum, and Barney (although one flashback depicts him as Harvard-bound—until Homer gives him a beer). Averted with Martin, probably the fattest and smartest kid in Bart's class.
* Peter Griffin and Chris Griffin from ''[[Family Guy]]''. Of course, to be fair - and as the episode "Family Guy Lite" shows, Peter is also stupid when he's thin.
* Eric Cartman from ''[[South Park]]''. Though his hatred and spite occasionally give him moments of brilliance.
* Owen and Sadie from ''[[Total Drama Island]]''.
Line 175 ⟶ 176:
* [[Gonk|Baby Taz]] from [[Baby Looney Tunes]].
* Goomo from [[Jelly Jamm]].
== [[Real Life]] ==
