Interestingly, some comedians ([[Straw Traitor|usually fat ones]]) complain about [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]] when it comes to fat jokes... although the sheer quantity of recent examples we have amassed tend to disagree on this front. Obesity is so universally seen as a negative character trait that it's relatively common for characters to be given some [[Adaptational Attractiveness]] to offset this fact.
Compare [[Big Eater]] and [[Villainous Glutton]] (often with [[Jabba Table Manners]]). '''Fat Bastard''' and [[Big Eater]] are usually (but not always) mutually exclusive. While '''Fat Bastard''' is often fairly ugly, the [[Big Eater]] usually has a somewhat pleasant appearance. This is because the first character is played for villainy and the second for laughs. [[Dead Weight]] is this type... {{
This trope is named after the character from the ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movies. He epitomizes this trope to such a ridiculous extreme that it qualifies as parody.
