== Anime and manga ==
* Though Ivan Braginski aka Russia from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]] claims'' "[[I Am Big Boned]]!", fangirls love him with some chub. So much that fanarts/doujinshi in which he's slimmed down are often met with ''very'' negative reactions.
** Cuba, the local [[Big Fun]], is starting to get this rep as well.
* Sig Curtis of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
* Gai from ''[[Getter Robo|Shin Getter Robo VS Neo Getter Robo]]''. The OAV version.
** Don't forget Gai's incarnation from ''Armaggedon''.
** Musashi Tomoe mixes it with [[Gentle Giant]] and [[Adorkable]] in the original series.
** The [[Bare-Fisted Monk]] Benkei Musashibo from [[New Getter Robo]] is a very [[Badass]] version of the trope.
Line 36:
** Same said for [[Blue Beetle]] Ted Kord during his chubby period (a kind of recursive tribute, since Dreiberg was based on Kord).
* Bouncing Boy from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', especially his reboot counterpart Chuck Taine.
* Cornfed from ''[[Livewires]]''.
 
 
Line 56:
* Many of the guys in ''[[Blur the Lines]]'' fit this trope, which makes sense, considering half of the webcomic's reason for existing is for [[Author Appeal]], and the author prefers big men.
* ''[[Grant]]''. And Grant's [[Hot Dad]].
* Jason from [[Something *Positive]] is this. Given the cartoonish art style, though, the attractiveness part is mainly backed up by the number of women he attracts, and that can also be attributed to his [[Nerds Are Sexy|brain]] or his [[Bigger Is Better in Bed|big penis]].
* ''The Wrong House'' has [[Nice Guy|George]] who's intially the only one of the [[Power Trio]] with a name [[Biggus Dickus|the most to offer]] the [[No Name Given|girl]] before the series was expanded and Flanderized him as a [[Kavorka Man]] and [[Ascended Extra]] that gets/has gotten/will get virtually ''every'' possible woman available including [[Nun-Too-Holy|supposed]] [[Heel Faith Turn|reformed nun that became a registered sex offender for sleeping with him before he was 18]] and [[Laser-Guided Karma|doing his Jerk Jock/Ted Baxter friend's girlfriend right in front of him as payback for him cheating on her with]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|a Tifa cosplayer.]] The apparent in-series reason why he gets so much tail: [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|he's sincere and actually gives a damn about the girls.]]

== Western Animation ==
* Gloria the hippo's [[The Paolo|suitor]] Moto Moto, in ''[[Madagascar]]: Escape 2 Africa'', is clearly intended to be one.
** And it would seem that hippos as a species find chubbiness attractive, since Moto Moto and Gloria's flirting is made entirely of fat jokes.
* Arguably, [[Metalocalypse|Nathan Explosion]]. At least, he's a big guy, it's not entirely muscle, and plenty of the show's [[Periphery Demographic]] find him attractive.
* [[American Dad|Stan Smith]] is on the chunky side, and also [[Rated "M" for Manly]] (or, rather, comedic [[Testosterone Poisoning]]).
