''Super Size Me'' is a 2004 documentary made by Morgan Spurlock, which follows him as he attempts an experiment to only eat [[McDonaldsMcDonald's]] food for 30 straight days.
 
This experiment is used as a framing sequence as Morgan takes a cross-country look at the various facets of fast-food culture in the United States, including its effects on the human body over a sustained period of time, diehard fast-food fans, the use of processed food in the American public school system, and the impact of fast-food on American society and business.
Line 25:
* [[Fan Boy]]: Spurlock visits a Big Mac fanboy who achieved notoriety for eating at least one Big Mac a day for well over a decade. In contrast to the film's message, it shows that the fanboy is actually in perfect health.
* [[Last Supper Steal]]: One segment is a painting that shows grotesque caricatures of various fast food mascots set up like "The Last Supper".
* [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]]: One of segments explained that McNuggets were originally made from chickens with larger-than-normal-breasts. This was demonstrated with an animated chicken with pendulous breasts so big that it had to walk with a cane.
* [[Scenery Censor]]: At one point, Morgan is interviewing someone while they have lunch at [[McDonaldsMcDonald's]]. A [[McDonaldsMcDonald's]] bag is placed to conceal what the interviewee was eating: A [[McDonaldsMcDonald's]] salad.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The "Blue Danube Waltz". {{spoiler|During scenes of gastric bypass surgery.}}
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: Spurlock force-feeds himself a Super-Sized meal and almost immediately pukes it back up again.
