Big Fun: Difference between revisions

[[File:Buddha Beipu 9180.jpg|frame|Yeah [[Jesus Was Way Cool]], but [[Buddhism|Budai]]? Fun [[Stealth Pun|incarnate]].]]

 

 

The big, fun, lovable fat guy. May be a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] or [[The Big Guy]] of a [[Five-Man Band]], depending on how much they like to fight and shout. Often a king or other aristocrat whose wealth and lifestyle lends itself to fabulous feasts, or in contrast a modern young [[Always Male|man]] whose weight makes him more [[This Loser Is You|identifiable]].

 

Contrast the [[Fat Bastard]], which is when the fat person is, well... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a bastard]].

{{examples}}

* Dr. Tokita of ''[[Paprika]]'', who's as cheerful as he is plump.

* Junpei "J.P." Shibayama of ''[[Digimon Frontier]]''. Bit of a [[Dogged Nice Guy]]. Known for his magic tricks and giving of chocolate.

** He's not fat, he's "low chested."

* Fat Cobra from ''[[Immortal Iron Fist|The Immortal Iron Fist.]]''

 

== Films -- Animated ==

* In ''[[Remember the Titans]]'', Louie is the first to easily break racial tension, and can crack a joke or two: "I just gave [[Your Mom|your mamma]] a piggy-back ride, and she weighs ''twice'' as much as I do!". The actor himself may have been this before he lost ''200 pounds''.

* Tracy Turnblad in [[Hairspray]] is a rare young female example.

 

== Folklore ==

* Forrest Kaysen of ''[[Deadly Premonition]]'' is an enormous sapling salesman with an unfailingly jolly attitude and a friendly pet dalmatian. He's good with kids and becomes a steadfast ally in some of the game's later acts. {{spoiler|[[Averted Trope|Absolutely none of this means that he's]] ''[[Fat Bastard|nice]].'' [[Eldritch Abomination|He isn't.]] [[Big Bad|He]] [[The Corruption|really,]] [[Manipulative Bastard|really]] [[Complete Monster|isn't.]]}}

* The Wii version of ''[[Punch-Out!!]]'' gives us returning challenger Bear Hugger, who, while easily one of the physically ''widest'' and most rotund boxers to get in Little Mac's way, is also an entertaining, goofy [[Boisterous Bruiser]] with a big laugh, whose lines are pure comic gold, usually playing into his [[Canada, Eh?]] stereotype for all it's worth. He also seems to be in it for fun rather than harboring any serious thoughts of contending or being outright [[Ax Crazy]].

 

== Web Comics ==

* Dave the skunk from ''[[Scaredy Squirrel]]''.

* Jack Sprat is a Big Fun guy in the [[Mighty Mouse]] cartoon "Mother Goose's Birthday Party", big enough to dance with ''all three'' of the Three Little Kittens. [[Critical Research Failure| (Clearly, the writer forgot that Jack was the one who "could eat no fat".)]]
