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]].
 
Almost [[Always Male]] it seems, probably because of the usual [[Double Standard]] about attractiveness and such. If female, though, she's likely to be a [[Big Beautiful Woman]].
 
Contrast the [[Fat Bastard]], which is when the fat person is, well... [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|a bastard]].

* Jerry's brother Kelbo on ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]''.
* Cam on ''[[Modern Family]]''.
* ''[[NoahsNoah's Arc]]'': Alex in a nutshell (similar the the above ''[[Modern Family]]'' example).
* Gibby on ''[[I Carly]]''.
* Bulk from the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' series started as [[The Bully]] and one of [[Those Two Guys]], but [[Character Development]] resulted in his mellowing out and showing a nicer side. Best exemplified by his return to the franchise in ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'', where he (tries) to be [[The Obi -Wan]] to his best friend's son.
* Gordon Crisp on ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]''. At one point he and Harris even lampshade the trope.

** While on the topic of [[Valve Software (Creator)|Valve]], Gabe Newell himself.
* Forrest Kaysen of ''[[Deadly Premonition (Video Game)|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]].
