Fat Bastard: Difference between revisions

** Another fat bastard human featured in ''Tatooine Ghost'' - one of Leia's fellow survivors of Alderaan is fat enough to need a hoverchair. He's small-time compared to the other bad guys in the fic, but a greedy wretch nonetheless.

** [[Splinter of the Minds Eye]] has a villain whose physical description includes this line.

* 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 ''[[Stephen King|The Stand]]'', at least in the novel. Harold is a sympathetic character while a fat nerd--it's only after he loses weight, becomes moderately attractive, and gains a few levels of competence outside of bookish pursuits that he does a [[Face Heel Turn]].

* Shakespeare's Falstaff. A witty [[Loveable Rogue]] whom audience considers the [[Big Fun]], but considering what he does, he is a total [[Jerkass]].

* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]: [[Gentleman Snarker|Cyrano]] gives us the [[Flowery Insults]] version at Act I Scene V, talking about Montfleury:

Big-bellied, coarse... }}

* The title character of [[Ubu Roi]].

* Jasper Horst, the troll parody of Casper Gutman in ''[[Discworld Noir]]''.

* The Heavy is seen as one of these by the other classes in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', or so their domination/revenge quotes would seem to indicate.

* Juan "The Banker" Borgia in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]''.

** He follows in the footsteps of his fat uncle, [[The Pope|Rodrigo Borgia]]. Unlike the first example (Juan was actually a very thin man), Rodrigo has the excuse of being ''historically' of large girth...and coincidentally, one of history's most notorious villains.

* Bob in ''[[Gungrave]]''. In the game's storyline he's depicted as being a real [[Jerkass|jerk]] underneath his calm exterior. As the first major boss fight of the game, his initial reaction to Grave is to call him out for his so-called "ingratitude" to his former friends and the syndicate for providing him (Grave) with power, wealth and a place to call home, without even realizing that it also directly and indirectly led to Grave's undoing.

* Pierce, or Jigglesworth, from ''[[TCTRPG|The Colour Tuesday,]]'' is a creepy [[Living Doll Collector]] who moves around on a chair. Its heavily implied that he's a pedophile, judging by his comments to and his harrassment of Alex. As Jigglesworth, he's a writhing mass of flabby appendages. Even the ruthless [[Big Bad|Maxwell]] is disgusted by him.

* King Dedede from the ''[[Kirby]]'' series.

* Dingodile and Papu Papu from the ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' series.
