[[Evil Costume Switch|Black robes]] not fitting properly? Just try being a little more evil! [[Kick the Dog|Kicking puppies]] is good exercise after all! And don't worry about those meals you skip while you're scheming to take over the kingdom. Yes, the combination of your new villainous lifestyle and the laws of narrative causality will make those annoying extra pounds vanish before you can say "Are they even ''feeding'' [[The ~~Emperors~~ New Groove (Disney)|Yzma]]?"

Sometimes used for a [[Freud Was Right]] explanation, where the villain is nasty and vicious ''because'' she's so hungry. Very common among fashion-oriented shows to explain why the size 0 model is so cranky.

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[One Piece]]'': The three Admirals are all tall and thin.

** Wapol is normally a [[Fat Bastard]], but his [[Extreme Omnivore]] powers allow him to swallow his excess bulk and become sinisterly slender. He actually describes this form as "lean and mean" in both the 4kids and [[~~FU Nimation~~]] dubs.

* ''[[Hellsing]]'''s Rip Van Winkle is extremely tall and thin. For that matter, [[Sociopathic Hero|Alucard]] also counts.

* Nnoitra Gilga from ''[[Bleach]]''.

Line 42:

* Franklin Bean in ''[[Fantastic Mr. Fox]]'' is noted for being skinny because he subsists only on cider.

** Yzma of ''[[The ~~Emperors~~ New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'' takes this to a new extreme, although it's not unreasonable to assume she may have been most attractive a century or two ago.

** Yzma of ''[[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'' takes this to a new extreme, although it's not unreasonable to assume she may have been most attractive a century or two ago.

*** Yzma was shown to be quite attractive as a teenager in the episode "Cool Summer" of [[The ~~Emperors~~ New School (Animation)|the show]].

** And then there's Dr. Facilier from the new ''[[The Princess and The Frog]]''. He's thin to the point of stylized in an otherwise rounded, naturalistic-proportioned world. He also shows off his belly-button with a midriff-bearing shirt.

** Honorable mention must be given to ''[[Mulan]]'''s [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] Chi-Fu.

Line 108:

* The Spy from ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' is incredibly impolite (the Spy has [[I Banged Your Mom|banged the Scout's mom]] and loves to boast and troll the Scout about it, which could make you feel sorry for the biggest [[Jerkass]] in the game that Scout undeniably is) and very tall and slender, which his [[Badass in A Nice Suit|badass-in-a-nice-suit]] attire makes even more noticable. Furthermore, also alongside Scout and Sniper, he's the most prone to calling the Heavy "fatty" and "morbidly obese".

** The Administrator, when she appears in the supplemental materials, is very thin, and seems to be totally amoral and have no emotions other than anger.

* Both Mitsuhide and Mitsunari from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' are [[Ax Crazy]] [[White Haired Pretty Boy|White Haired Pretty Boys]] who are also tall and almost skeletal in appearance. In Mitsunari's case it's because he's too busy angsting to eat, while Mitsuhide is probably just that evil.

Line 141:

* Lawson from ''[[Recess]]''.

* Ms. Bitters of ''[[Invader Zim]]'', in keeping with her snakelike demeanor.

* Nightmare Moon, Discord and The Flim Flam Brothers from ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' all qualify.

* Nightmare Moon, Discord and The Flim Flam Brothers from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' all qualify.

** So does {{spoiler|Queen Chrysalis}}.
