* "Fat", by Music/WeirdAlYankovic. Averted by Al himself, who saw himself eating in the video and was so disturbed by it that he decided he never wanted to be fat.

* Lorenda the Demon-Cow from ''[[Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures DMFA]]''. She's noticeably fat, and perfectly comfortable with it, as seen most clearly in the strip [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_101.php when Dan first meets her]].
** DMFA also features the recently introduced [[http://missmab.com/Demo/Leader13.php Piflak]], the curvaceous Cubi leader with an affinity for pride itself!
* In one strip of WebComic/TwoKinds, Flora states her own people consider fat to be sexy, due to their HyperactiveMetabolism keeping them trim.
* Manoa from ''WebComic/TalesOfSchlock'' is aware that she's overweight but is happy with herself and has a very active sex life.
* Lalia from ''WebComic/CravingControl'' becomes this in the final chapters of the series after she gets noticeably fat and is happy with her new figure.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' during the "Passion Patties" episode. Inga Bittersweet has the Happy Girls distribute the titular cookies, which are made with a concentrated sugar extract which causes an InstantTasteAddiction. The cookies also cause this addicted to them to rapidly gain weight the more they eat. While the victims are aware of how fat they've become, they don't care as long as they can get more cookies. After Clover and Jerry both fall victim and Bittersweet's arrested, Jerry mentions they're working on an antidote that will stop the cravings and get rid of the extra weight.

** One episode has Homer seeking an Overeaters Anonymous group aftrr a particularly embarrassing incident over his weight. The group in question turns out to a fat pride group that praises its members for gaining weight. Homer is fully on board until the end, when the group leader dies barely into adulthood from walking for the first time, and implores all the other members to be more responsible about their health.

* TruthInTelevision: Angus Young of Music/{{ACDC}} had [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale at first, reluctant]] sex with a rather huge groupie, who later became the inspiration for the song "Whole Lotta Rosie".
** When Angus Young met Rosie a few years later, she had slimmed down to waifish proportions. Angus replied that it "Just wasn't the same".

* While Music/{{Adele}} isn't quite as heavyset as most examples, it's undeniable that she does have a little extra, and it's part of her charm.

* Kelly Clarkson's "Love So Soft" touts the sensual qualities of her post-marriage weight gain.

* [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] with Ashley Crawford of ''ComicBook/TheGreatLakesAvengers''. In her civilian form, she's a conventionally-thin woman who bankrolls the team through modeling gigs. Her mutation, though, allows her to [[{{Sizeshifter}} swell her fat cells]] at will, turning her into Big Bertha, a behemoth with SuperStrength and SuperToughness. While Ashley ordinarily returns to her slim size, later issues of the series have her embracing this trope instead--she decides to become chubby (though not as big as her full superhero persona) permanently and uses her powers to become an extremely successful plus-sized model (it helps that she can selectively enhance her fat to [[MostCommonSuperpower emphasize her curves]]).

* In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', the formerly rail-thin Byakuya Togami appears to have put on a ''huge'' amount of weight since the previous game. [[spoiler:Because he's actually the [[MasterOfDisguise Ultimate Imposter]].]] He's actually quite proud of it, belittles his classmates for being skinny, and is [[InsultBackfire completely unfazed by an insulting nickname based on his weight]], admitting it's actually quite accurate.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/DragonHunters'', Jennyline, a BBW, goes with the eponymous hunters so she can cook a dragon immediately after they kill it. After the adventure, she tells them that she's never doing that again because it's "bad for her waistline" -- she lost 20 pounds (not that she looks any different).

* Comedienne Mo'Nique, herself a {{BBW}}, hosted the F. A. T. (Fabulous And Thick) Chance Beauty Pageant. Contestants had to be size 14 or higher to enter.

* An episode of ''Series/{{House}}'' features this trope. The episode begins with a morbidly obese man being cut out of his house because he was presumed to be dead. This belief is quickly dispelled when he farts. The extraction turns into a rescue mission and he is sent to the hospital so that doctors can discover what caused him to pass out. The man is only disturbed by the fact that all anyone wants to test him for are problems related to his weight. He claims he is not miserable and speaks about how much he loves to eat. [[DeadpanSnarker House's]] comments on his weight only [[SnarkToSnarkCombat earn him a competitor.]] Even after finding out that [[spoiler:he is going to die of cancer]] the man is unrepentant about his eating habits.

* Comedian Creator/GabrielIglesias has built his stand-up career on [[TheMerch this]], [[http://www.fluffyshop.com particularly]] with the "Six Levels of Fatness." [[note]]It used to be 5 until a #6 came up to him after a show complaining that Gabriel wasn't selling any shirts in his size. Gabriel's response: "I didn't know they ''made'' you!"[[/note]] [[RunningGag He's not fat. He's]] [[InsistentTerminology fluffy!]]. [[note]]That's #4 of the 6 Levels of Fatness.[[/note]]

* In ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'', Volstaag of the Warriors Three is a ''LargeHam'' in both a literal and a figurative sense. He's a [[MilesGloriosus braggart]] and[[TheHedonist hedonist]], completely unashamed of his weight, and proud to be known as [[SuperheroSobriquets Volstaag the Voluminous]].

* All the females from the visual novel Mandarava - The Serpent Queen are this [[https://twitter.com/RiskySatyriasis/status/900907648102445061]] since they live in a society where every male is a ChubbyChaser.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanwork [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13674619/1/The-Lard-House The Lard House]], Lincoln accidentally gets sent to a dimension where health problems related to weight do not exist, and not only is being overweight accepted. The bigger you are the more attractive you are seen as being. With Lori being seen as one of the most beautiful girls in Michigan not in spite of weighing in excess of half a tonne, but '''because''' of it.
