Lean and Mean/Playing With

Basic Trope: An evil character is very thin.
 * Straight: Evil Overlord Smith is one of the skinnier characters on the show.
 * Exaggerated: Overlord Smith is so thin that he should be dead of starvation, but he doesn't seem to suffer from it.
 * Justified: Overlord Smith is wary of poisoning from his enemies, and so refuses to eat large amounts.
 * Inverted: Villainous Glutton
 * Alternatively, The Hero Will is very skinny.
 * Subverted: Overlord Smith was thin in his first appearance, but it turns out he'd just been through a long and difficult journey where food was scarce. Soon, he returns to a normal weight.
 * Smith turns out to not be as villainous as first thought, and is at worse an Anti-Hero...
 * Double Subverted: Even though it's been months after that near-starvation incident, Overlord Smith stays as thin as he first was.
 * ...Until he jumps off the slippery slope and crosses the Moral Event Horizon
 * Parodied: Overlord Smith is drawn as a stick figure among the otherwise normal cast.
 * Deconstructed: Overlord Smith spends so long obsessing over his evil scheme that he never eats; his health is affected dramatically and he begins to suffer from Sanity Slippage.
 * Reconstructed: Overlord Smith realizes that failing health will not help him accomplish World Domination, so he adopts healthy eating habits.
 * Being a beanpole is just Overlord Smith's natural build. He eats well, but his metabolism burns everything it gets.
 * Zig Zagged: Overlord Smith's weight seems to be different every time he shows up.
 * Averted: Overlord Smith has an average weight.
 * Enforced: They wanted a Villainous Glutton character, but obesity campaigners protested.
 * Lampshaded: "Wow, does the Evil Overlord ever eat?"
 * Invoked: After his rise to power, Overlord Smith makes sure to eat less to gain that proper evil look.
 * Defied: Even though he's now an Evil Overlord, Smith knows it's healthiest to mantain a healthy weight, and makes sure to do so.
 * Discussed: "You're the Evil Chancellor? Huh. I was expecting someone skinnier."
 * Conversed: "Yes, I'm skinny. No, that doesn't make me a bad person- what is this, a movie?"
