Added DiffLines:

Upon finding out his reception in Quahog is rather mixed through a survey, a self-conscious Mayor Wild West decides to go into the most disliked side to get into their lifestyle to get on their good terms, which happens to be the obese side of Quahog. So Wild adapts to their lifestyle by joining Peter's NAAFP group and becomes an overweight cowboy, which his assistant Zephyr and pet horse Ginger find issue in.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* AdoptedToTheHouse: After Wild disowns Ginger, Zephyr takes her home with them for the night.
* BittersweetEnding: Wild West is put at peace for his worries about his reception, and heals his relationship with Zephyr and Ginger if the ending implies, however he's still overweight and needs to lose the weight.
* {{Bookends}}: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. The first and second acts begin with Wild waking up and doing a morning routine.
* BreakTheHaughty:
* ChekhovsGag: In the first act, Zephyr comments on how Wild West put the old audio equipment in the shed outback instead of throwing it away and still has it linked to the speakers throughout town, and the two get into an argument about Wild being lazy to take care of it. Later, it becomes useful for them to use it as a distraction for the angry mob.
* ChekhovsSkill: Throughout the first act, Wild summons his horse Ginger and alerts townsfolk of his presence by whistling, which he can't do when he becomes obese later on. It however becomes important in the third act as him and Zephyr use his whistle to drive the angry mob away.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Lou comes to Zephyr
* ADayInTheLimelight: Compared to other episodes staring him where he was paired with someone, Wild West takes the solo main role in this episode alongside his assistant Zephyr and horse Ginger.
* {{Deconstruction}}: of the TemporaryBulkChange and FatAndProud.
** For the former, Wild gains weight rather fast, and having such a massive change in his body shows to cause problems for him. He can't ride his horse Ginger anymore as seen with her collapsing due to his weight and needs to use a mobility scooter, his eyesight deteriorates and he needs to start wearing glasses and he gets stuck in door frames and his desk.
** For the latter, Wild gains this ideal from the other NAAFP members. But the rest of Quahog doesn't see Wild West in the same way, and
* DelayedReaction:

* EpicFail: When Wild West unvails his new bulky look as a permanent change, not only does it not improve his reputation as his invisioned, but actually ''worsened'' it!
* FallAsleepCrying: After seeing his weight gain going to nothing
* FatAndProud: Despite all the new hardships he faces, Wild West seems rather calm and proud about his newly gained weight. Though this is Justified as he did this to win over the obese community and anything he faces he'd shrug off as new inconveniences that don't matter to him.
* FauxHorrific: Wild West's first nightmare has Wild be the most scared ''not'' from the town revolting on him, not from them tying him up, but them planning to cut his mustache off.
* HardTruthAesop:
* IntentionalWeightGain: Wild West intentionally gains weight
* LaserGuidedKarma: For acting like a total ass to his assistant Zephyr and pet horse Ginger and firing them for looking after him, Wild not only ruins his reputation get
* JerkassRealization: After his reputation in ruined and he has an nightmare, Wild ''finally''
* NotSoAboveItAll: Wild West, who's noticeably the more [[NiceGuy nicer]] and more [[OnlySaneMan smarter, sane and down to earth]] person in Quahog not only pulls a stunt that's more stupid and insane like the Quahog residents through gaining weight, but also temporarily becomes just as awful as them.
* OnlySaneMan: Zephyr and Ginger
* RealMenWearPink: When Wild West becomes obese and can't fit his cowboy clothes anymore, he begins to wear a purple XL shirt.

* ToughLove:
* TrueCompanions:
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Zephyr almost always calls his mayor "Mayor West". However, on the final day where Zephyr and Ginger has an intervention for Wild, this happens:

-->'''Wild West:''' Uh oh, full name.
