| 10 | There often are times when people eat. For most a few times a day. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | There are other times when people [[BigEater absolutely stuff themselves]]. This hopefully doesn't happen as often. But when animated characters do it, it goes right to their stomachs and increases their size and figure in a similar manner to filling a balloon. This new-found girth usually goes away pretty easily, but can stay around for a while. A usually-minor form of this, known in slang occasionally as the "food baby", is TruthInTelevision. Usually used for comedy, but is also a somewhat prominent {{Fetish}} that pops up in fanfics and fanart. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Also, there are times when people don't have anything to eat for a ''long time'', and then they play the trope exceptionally straight. It's called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor kwashiorkor]]. It's also a symptom of liver failure. Anyone displaying this trope in real life would therefore likely be in need of medical attention. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | This trope is especially popular in {{Zany Cartoon}}s to the point where attempting to list every example would probably end up with its subpage being longer than all the other subpages together. Compare with InflatingBodyGag, when it's the body inflating by itself. A GiganticGulp drink is often a cause of Balloon Belly. May lead to TemporaryBulkChange. Its logical conclusion is PopGoesTheHuman. Compare DinnerDeformation, TrampolineTummy, TravelingPipeBulge, and WeightTaller. |

She steals all the chocolate from the other Nicktoons and unlike the Grinch, when she realizes what she's done, she decides she doesn't care. She and her cat Fluffy eat an enormous amount of chocolate and get very fat, with Grinchelica looking like a big ball. |
| 28 | -->Narrator: And all the toons in Toonville say, Grinchelica's tummy grew three hundred sizes that day. (Grinchelica pats her tummy, now bulging out from under her jacket. Her face then turns green and she lets out a loud burp.) |
| 29 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z-Asq0mvJ8 A commercial]] for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'' features a big guy chowing down at a restaurant as his belly continues to get bigger, clearly referencing ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' (minus the puking), right down to the end when his stomach explodes from licking one last dollop of whipped cream from his finger. |

| 31 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYRl5E5D1s A 2004 commercial]] for Gas X has the bellies of three women suddenly blow up like balloons while they're at a theater. One woman is able to stop her swelling with the titular product, but the other two stay bloated up. |
| 32 | * [[https://youtu.be/Rb_q9B3NpOY A [=PSA=] for [=ABC=]]] warns kids about "the Munchies", making you want to eat when you're bored or depressed, as the Munchies make one boy eat until he gets fat. He learns to find other things to do, including exercise, so he doesn't think about eating all the time and soon loses the weight. |

| 38 | * In one of the later episodes of ''Manga/BloodBlockadeBattlefront'', Zapp gains a huge belly from eating too much fast food. His excuse is that he fancies one of the serving girls in this restaurant so continuously buys food from there as an excuse to talk to her. Turns out [[spoiler: this girl is a friend of Chain and thinks Zapp is just a creepy stalker.]] |
| 39 | * ''Manga/BlackParadox'' sees Piitan's entire stomach bloating to grotesque proportions after his pylorus expels Paradonite Jewels faster than he can cough them up, leading to Piitan going PopGoesTheHuman - An example where this trope is PlayedForHorror. |
| 40 | * ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': Suzu once ate an entire coelacanth as part of a gag; in the anime she looks heavily pregnant, while in the manga her stomach bloats to at least five feet in diameter and forces her onto her back. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/BraveCommandDagwon'': In episode 10, a minor antagonist named Killad Alien can [[PowerParasite absorb the abilities of defeated opponents]] via a laser on his forehead. He's defeated when he's tricked into absorbing a giant oil tank, filling his stomach up with oil and leaving him open for an attack from Fire Dagwon. |
| 42 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': |
| 43 | ** Agumon gets one after eating a fish twice his size. |
| 44 | ** Agumon gets another when Tai stuffs him with food in an effort to get him to Digivolve to Ultimate. Not only do Greymon's movements slow down when he has to fight, Tai's selfishness causes him to Digivolve to an enraged [=SkullGreymon=]. |
| 45 | * Guilmon late in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' asks Takato if he could draw him a bigger stomach after getting particularly bloated late in the series. |
| 46 | * In the ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' reboot's take on the classic "Memory Bread" story, Nobi uses the Bread slices to copy the notes taken for homework. This backfires when he decides to have a snack in-between while studying with Shizuka (Sue in the dub), which makes him feel sick when he tries to eat another slice of Memory Bread. It doesn't help that Nobi's mom made a special dinner with a lot of shrimp, which Nobi eats anyway, and he ends up so stuffed that he's ready to explode. |
| 47 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'': |
| 48 | ** Usually averted despite the ludicrous amount of food consumed by the Saiyans; but once, [[Manga/DragonBall early in the series]], Goku ate all the food in Master Roshi's fridge and his stomach became visibly bulged. |
| 49 | *** Happened to him again during the first tournament arc: he ate a ton of food, and his belly bulged a bit, to the point where his shirt couldn't completely cover it and his belt/sash was off. |
| 50 | ** Yajirobe suffered from a severe case of balloon belly when he ate a handful of senzu beans. They're meant to keep a person full for ten days ''each''. |

| 52 | ** Happens with Goku in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' while he's training on King Kai's planet. Due to him being starved during his lengthy run across Snake Way, he asks Kai if he can take a break to fill himself up and then proceeds to stuff himself. A filler episode that features the currently dead Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu training on his planet features a similar gag when the trio take time out for lunch. |
| 53 | ** Played for horror during the Buu saga, where the titular antagonist kills someone by [[OrificeInvasion forcing his gelatinous body into their mouth]], causing them to swell and swell and swell... until they explode. |
| 54 | ** Weaponized by [[FatBitch Monna]] from ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', who is able to literally blow up like a balloon and ram into her enemies with enough force to knock Cabba out of Super Saiyan form. |
| 55 | * In Episode 8 of ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', the no-men-allowed one, Excel spends most of the episode [[{{fanservice}} at the pool]] gorging herself on food (because [[EnfantTerrible Cosette]] was paying for it). By the end, her balloon belly is big enough to render her completely immobile. [[FanDisservice And we get a close-up shot of it.]] |
| 56 | -->'''Excel:''' ''*groans*'' Ohhh, so full. [[GratuitousEnglish I'm sexy.]] |
| 57 | * In Episode 5 of ''[[Anime/FLCLProgressiveAndAlternative FLCL Progressive]]'', Haruko has one for the first half of the episode, apparently as a result of her [[spoiler:devouring Jinyu in the previous episode]]. Her belly is just large enough for her to pass off as being pregnant. |
| 58 | * In one chapter of ''Manga/FutabaKunChange'', two characters swell up like balloons after eating a lunch made by Misaki. Her SweetTooth somehow crammed tens of thousands of calories into that one tiny box. Later, another character has his face expand into a beachball after ''one bite.'' |
| 59 | * Towa from ''Manga/{{Gals}}'' is mistakenly given a ''massive'' order of food in Episode 36. Afterwards, she's seen surrounded by ''mountains'' of dishes and cradling her heavily distended belly, sheepishly claiming that she didn't want it to go to waste when Ran freaks out about her eating it all. |
| 60 | %%* On ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', it happened to Kagura in Episodes 74, 91, 278, and 318. |

| 65 | * ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam''. In Episode 10, Taro develops a bloated stomach after he's stuffed with food during breakfast, lunch and dinner. |
| 66 | * ''Anime/HareGuu'': |
| 67 | ** In episode 14, in Hare's ImagineSpot, Guu gets a bloated belly as Hare imagines her devouring all the servants from Weda's mansion. (As she is an ExtremeOmnivore monster with a PocketDimension stomach, this is not an unrealistic thought on his part.) |
| 68 | ** She also displays one in the ''Final'' OVA episode 2, after briefly swallowing everyone in the school park. |
| 69 | ** In episode 19, Hare lies down in bed with a bloated belly after he's forced to eat the prodigious breakfast prepared by Bell. |
| 70 | * In ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', Miki once came across the wish-granting [[{{Obake}} Kesaran Pasaran]], and she (unknowingly) called up the "good luck" to run into a restaurant with a huge surplus. She walked away about four to five times her ordinary size, but recovered by the scene change. |
| 71 | ** In a more serious instance, Kyoko was [[DemonicPossession possessed by the spirit of a hungry child]], which caused [[BodyHorror a ravenous mouth to appear on her nape]]. Insatiable, it ate everything in sight, leaving Kyoko in pain from being overstuffed, and when food ran out, it started going for ''other'' things until Nube exorcised it. Unfortunately for Kyoko, she gained as much mass as Miki did in the comedic example, only ''she'' had to work it off (with Hiroshi as drill instructor.) |
| 72 | ** In another chapter, Kyoko and Miki are [[DemonicPossession possessed]] and they eat huge rice bowls getting big bellies at lunchtime. |
| 73 | * ''Anime/{{Jewelpet}}'': |
| 74 | ** ''Anime/JewelpetSunshine'': In Episode 6-A, Kanon fails to make cookies perfectly and stress-eats them all until Ruby confronts her, looking heavily pregnant in the process. Hinata gets this in Episode 17 after eating a lot of fruit. In a ContinuityNod in Episode 45, Kanon eats all of her failed Valentine's chocolates, which resemble her failed cookies, again looking heavily pregnant as a result. |
| 75 | ** ''Anime/JewelpetKiraDeco'': In Episode 9, the gang finds a Rainbow Egg, which doubles in size, hatches and reveals a chick with a similar appearance to Kiichi. The chick, Kiichiro, cooks the gang food that makes them gain weight. When the chick has grown up to be a chicken, the gang is seen under a tree, having eaten food that makes them so fat they end up literally ''egg-shaped''. |
| 76 | ** ''Anime/JewelpetHappiness'': In Episode 46, Chiari and Ruby eat all their Valentine's chocolates, and both blow up in size as a result. |
| 77 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 78 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'': Joseph Joestar tries to kill (or at the very least grievously maim) the [[HumanoidAbomination Pillar Men]] with a stick of dynamite to buy time for his friends. The eldest of the trio, Esidesi, picks up the stick and [[EatTheBomb swallows it whole]]. His belly winds up blowing up like a balloon. It goes to show Joseph (and the viewer) that the Pillar Men are a lot tougher than anything Joseph has ever faced before and since. |
| 79 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'': When forced to go on a massive spending spree to prevent Sugar Mountain's {{transflormation}} from affecting them, Johnny and Gyro make a stop at a restaurant to order the most expensive meals, with Gyro developing this after eating everything. |

| 81 | * Kat ends up with a modest, yet noticeable potbelly in Episode 16 of ''Anime/LaytonMysteryDetectiveAgency'' after eating a massive lunch that includes ''an entire cake'' all by herself. |
| 82 | * ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior2002'': This tends to show up whenever somebody eats a whole hell lot of something; various instances abound throughout the whole series, especially with Dex and Lan with their love of curry. |
| 83 | * ''Anime/M78LoveAndPeace'', a chibi-OVA based on the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', have chibi-Ultraman getting a bloated belly after eating a watermelon in ''seconds''. |
| 84 | * In episode 20 of ''Anime/MidnightHorrorSchool'', Mr. X gains a balloon belly after drinking too much juice. |
| 85 | * ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Miia, Centorea, Papi, and Mero all gain weight during a spa vacation. |
| 86 | ** In Chapter 57 Papi is already the first and largest of the girls to balloon up. |
| 87 | ** At the end of Chapter 59 Papi actually doubles in size when compared to Chapter 57, while Miia, Mero, and Centorea all sport noticeable pot bellies. |
| 88 | ** In the first volume of the anthology series, I Heart Monster Girls (Chapter 7), Papi, Miia, and Centorea all gain weight after eating nothing but sweets. |
| 89 | ** In the second volume, Suu absorbs so much water that she becomes a sumo slime. |
| 90 | ** In the fourth volume, Lala imagines Miia really fat, because she believes Miia will one day eat everyone in the house. |
| 91 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has Choji, whose fighting style is somewhat based around this. |
| 92 | ** Happens to Naruto himself a couple of times, and to Naruto, Kiba, Shino, and Sai during the Shippuden Episode 95 omake. |
| 93 | * In the manga ''Nukenai Seiken-chan'', the Imperials all like to gorge on food, since as {{Living Weapon}}s the sensation of eating is a novelty to them and they convert food into {{mana}}. When given free reign, they eat until their stomachs visibly bloat into almost pregnant-looking swells. The bloating is swiftly taken care of when they want to, as they can condense the "converted" mana into [[SolidGoldPoop highly valuable mana crystals they then excrete]]. |
| 94 | * When the idols set up a curry stand in Episode 12 of ''Ochikobore Fruit Tart'', the first person in line is LoonyFan Tone Honmachi, who buys ten large bowls to show her support. After they sell out, Tone (who's implied to have eaten most of their stock) returns to congratulate them, and [[https://i.imgur.com/EenMY3A.jpg the camera moves down to show her now comically large bloated belly]]. |
| 95 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 96 | ** Happens often to Luffy, being both a BigEater and a RubberMan allows him to [[JustifiedTrope literally become spherical]] after a particularly large meal (Curiously, it is sometimes averted, logic be damned). |
| 97 | ** During the timeskip training, Usopp also ate so much that he rivaled Luffy in size. |
| 98 | ** Also done by Kumadori, when Chopper temporarily takes him out of the fight by locking him in a fridge. He consumes all the food in it and comes out very fat. Then he uses a special technique to immediately absorb all his fat and get skinny again. |
| 99 | ** Olga from the "Heart of Gold" OVA is nearly as gluttonous as Luffy, and has three different scenes where she's sporting a stuffed belly after gorging herself on ridiculous amounts of food such as when she's forcing her marine captors to give her tons of candy and when she first comes aboard the Thousand Sunny and has Sanji cook for her. |
| 100 | ** During a fantasy sequence, Lily Enstomach ends up gorging herself on literal mountains of food alongside Luffy. Predictably, it ends with both of them sporting massively round bellies. |
| 101 | * This happens to [[BitchInSheepsClothing Totoko]] in Episodes 24 and 69 of the 1988 anime adaption of ''Manga/OsomatsuKun''; both times from pigging out. |
| 102 | * ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'': |
| 103 | ** Stocking receives this treatment in "The Diet Syndrome". After having apparently gained weight, Stocking goes to extremes to keep her weight down, but to no avail. [[spoiler: This is due to a possessed cake she was eating throughout the episode]]. She snaps when her belly gets big enough to look like she's pregnant, and in a fit of rage she stuffs her face with cakes until she outgrows her tower in the church. |
| 104 | ** Both girls in "Nothing to Room", where their bellies grow massive after stuffing themselves on a ton of takeout. It's the page image. |
| 105 | * ''Anime/PaRappaTheRapper'': |
| 106 | ** The fourth episode has [=PaRappa=] get a bloated tummy after eating his school lunch. |
| 107 | ** In the eleventh episode, [=PaRappa=] and PJ are shown with bloated stomachs after eating at a restaurant. |
| 108 | * The titular Yucie from ''Anime/PetitePrincessYucie'' overeats on her birthday in the first episode, and ends up with a painfully bloated belly because of it. |
| 109 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 110 | ** May's Munchlax every time it eats a special Pokéblock. |
| 111 | ** Team Rocket had ENORMOUS bellies in the episode after the Summer School arc, which was a part of their VillainousBSOD. |
| 112 | ** Jessie looked like she was pregnant after she, James and Meowth stole a bunch of food [[spoiler:and Dawn's Cyndaquil egg]] in the Johto Festival episode. |
| 113 | ** In later seasons, [[BigEater Ash's]] gluttonous tendencies often lead to him sporting a big belly: four times in Sinnoh (along with Pikachu), once in Unova, once in Kalos, three times in Alola, and currently four times in ''Journeys''. |
| 114 | ** The same happened to Ash's Pikachu (''four times'') and Fletchling in Kalos. |
| 115 | ** Minor character Angie from the Sinnoh seasons sports a bloated gut after a huge meal in "If The Scarf Fits, Wear It!" |
| 116 | ** Subverted in "An Appetite For Battle", when Clemont's Chespin gets this after gorging himself on macarons, but his pudginess stays with him even after the eating scene ends, and he spends the rest of the episode [[AWeightyAesop trying to work off his extra pounds.]] |
| 117 | * The titular character of ''Anime/{{Potemayo}}'' during her regular eating binges. |
| 118 | * This actually becomes the source of conflict in an episode of ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ'', where all three girls are too bloated to effectively fight a noodle monster after stuffing themselves at a noodle restaurant. |
| 119 | * Meiko from ''Manga/PrisonSchool'' drinks over five liters of soda during the Sports Festival arc, and her belly gets ''huge'' as a result. Because soda is tied to helping the currently meek Meiko shift back into her old, aggressive personality, her being too full to keep drinking soda is a ''bad'' thing for her team. |
| 120 | * ''Anime/SailorMoon'': [[BigEater Usagi]] gains a pot belly from chugging down an ''entire'' bottle of soda. It disappears in the next shot, though. |
| 121 | * ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'': |
| 122 | ** This happens to Mugen on the few occasions when he gets to really stuff himself. |
| 123 | ** Fuu takes it one step further -- her entire body changes shape, making her look quite obese for the next scene. In one episode, two thugs specifically looking for her didn't even recognize her because of it. |
| 124 | * ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'': |
| 125 | ** If there's no one around to stop him, [[BigEater Kuchipatchi]] tends to eat until he reaches this point. |
| 126 | ** In Episode 78a, Chamametchi and Kikitchi help Perotchi look for berries. They come across a big bush of berries and eat every single one of them, which causes their bellies to bloat. |
| 127 | * Kamina from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' gets one of these after gorging himself in the HotSpringsEpisode. |
| 128 | * This doesn't happen to ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'' often because his body's Gourmet Cells can store ''millions'' of calories, all of which he needs to use his special attacks. On the rare occasions it ''does'' happen to him, his gut gets ''huge'' due to the fact that it's often as a result of eating quantities as ridiculous as an entire ''mountain'' of pudding, or all the meat on a gigantic monster. |
| 129 | ** It also happens to anime-exclusive character Tina, who accidentally gets carried away with gorging herself on a tofu dish she made for her TV Show, resulting in her belly blowing up to the size of an exercise ball. |
| 130 | * ''Anime/UmaMusume'': |
| 131 | ** Special Week, who ended up eating a little too much after a victory in episode 3. |
| 132 | ** Oguri Cup, as the resident BigEater, almost always have a giant belly after eating tons of food. This spreads to her friends in Episode 13. |
| 133 | * In Episode 13 of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', main character Ataru and secondary characters Cherry (an old monk) and Sakura (his niece, a very shapely and attractive woman) participate in a beach restaurant's eating contest. Ataru and Cherry quickly get "Balloon Belly" and give up, but Sakura ''literally eats the restaurant out of business'', even after consuming diet pills. And ''she's still hungry afterwards'', yet she somehow manages to stay looking completely normal. The reason why she's capable of this is never explained for comedic purposes. |
| 134 | ** The ending of that story was changed from the manga. In the manga version, the story plays out the same... but then she lies down on an inflatable pool float... which instantly sinks, dumping her in. In other words, while the food doesn't affect her body shape, she still gets ''heavier''. |
| 135 | ** Also in Episode 23 where Ataru, Lum, Shinobu and Mendou –- lost in a cave system that somehow led into a crashed alien spaceship –- all dine on tins of alien food they found. It doesn't affect Lum, but the three humans all end up with Balloon Bellies, with Shinobu suggesting the food has expanded inside their stomachs and Lum noting that it mustn't be suited for human constitutions. When they realize they are literally ten feet from the rest of their class, they try to reach them, but fail because they're too engorged to fit through the exit tubes. |

| 138 | [[folder:Asian Animation]] |
| 139 | * ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In Season 2 episode 13, Big M. and Little M.'s bellies become larger than usual after they eat a lot of meat prepared for them by a cat. |
| 140 | * This often happens to characters in ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' whenever they eat too much. |
| 141 | * In episode 12 of ''Animation/YamuchasKungFuAcademy'', Miko, Nao and Jubby become bloated from eating a bunch of apples. |

| 143 | |
| 144 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 145 | * [[BigEater Jughead]] acquires one (or more) after his binges in ''ComicBook/ArchieComics''. |
| 146 | * In one ''ComicBook/TheBeano'' strip of ''The Bash Street Kids'', the already balloon-bellied Fatty is forced to play football (soccer), but as his name indicates he is not the fittest of characters. He solves this problem by playing in goal, and eating so much that he is fat enough to fill the entire goal-mouth! |
| 147 | * In a story published in the German ''Club Nintendo'' magazine, Bowser gets fatter from breaking into Mario's house and eating all his Christmas food. Dr. Mario prescribes him a bitter pill every hour to cure his stomach ache. |
| 148 | * In ComicBook/TheDandy, the jocks stuffed themselves silly at a pie eating contest. |
| 149 | * ComicBook/TheNewUniverse title ''ComicBook/{{DP7}}'' had a paranormal named Sponge who would absorb all the moisture in the air at a massively accelerated rate, causing her to balloon up in the space of seconds. She could purge the water equally quickly, looking like a punctured water balloon. |
| 150 | * In "The Day Flash Weighed [[UsefulNotes/AmericanCustomaryMeasurements 1,000 Pounds]]" (''The Flash'' #115, 1960), Comicbook/TheFlash is zapped with a super-fattening ray by the villain of the week (who then, to add insult to injury, gives him amnesia and sells him to a traveling carnival as a sideshow attraction). He's back to normal by the end of the issue, thanks to an implausibly fast (even given that this is the Fastest Man Alive) weight-loss regimen. |
| 151 | ** It involves steaming himself in a room used to dehydrate potatoes, for the curious. |
| 152 | * Issue 62 of ''ComicBook/{{Gen 13}}'' features a very subtle use of this after Freefall binges on junk food: her belly seems flat at a glance, but upon closer inspection is bulging slightly, just enough to pop the button on her tight shorts. |
| 153 | * ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' has, amongst its {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, the [[WingedHumanoid Harpy]] Charlotte, a [[TheDitz ditzy]] woman who is so obsessed with peanuts and pretzels that she goes temporarily insane around them and [[BigEater devours every last one she can find to the point of almost killing herself]]. This invariably results in a visibly distended stomach, if she can get enough, and once gets her MistakenForPregnant after she waddles off of a plane groaning in the after-effects of a bingefest. |
| 154 | * In the first issue of ''[[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey]]'', Harley sports a small, but noticeable potbelly after devouring all the food she and Ivy bought along for a romantic island getaway. Since Harley's already on thin ice for deliberately stranding them there in the first place, this only pisses off Ivy even further. |
| 155 | * From the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes, Matter-Eater Lad's actual superpower involved eating, so he would occasionally wind up with a swollen gut afterwards. |
| 156 | * Issue 12 of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendsForever'' had Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Spike giving into temptation and pigging out on food at a street fair. They each temporarily gain weight doing so. |
| 157 | * ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': |
| 158 | ** In #41, Derpy gets one from eating a box of muffins. |
| 159 | ** Issue 63 has this happening to Spike and several townsponies at an underground bakery brought on by a sugar boycott in Ponyville. The mare responsible for it, Temperance Flowerdew, also gained weight by pigging out on sweets as a filly. |
| 160 | * ''ComicBook/SecretWarsII'' had the Beyonder in human form pigging out on a gangster's yacht. He later vaporizes the flab in a second. |
| 161 | * In ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'' comic "Big Fat Trouble in Little Springfield", Bart makes fun of an overweight student at school, then has a nightmare about being fat. In the dream sequence, Bart is depicted with an enormous belly. |
| 162 | * In the story "Creambob Conepants", WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants and Patrick get explosively fat after eating an ''entire'' AlternateUniverse of Bikini Bottom that was made of ice cream. They exercise it off, but [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spongebob/images/3/3d/RJHqzPE.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150915174802 here are the results]], if you dare. |

| 199 | ** In [[http://m.fanfiction.net/s/8238326/1/Two-Lads-in-Dangrabah Two Lads in Dangrabah]], Candace swallows a submarine sandwich whole, which causes her stomach to bulge out significantly. Because in this story, she is a genie, she uses magic to shift the fat in her gut into [[HartmanHips other places]], but since she doesn't do this immediately, it appears that she doesn't seem to mind being bigger. |
| 200 | ** This is the plot of [[http://m.fanfiction.net/s/9463673/1/Queen-Sized-Candace Queen-Sized Candace]], after said character spends a week indulging herself in several desserts, the first meal resulting in DinnerDeformation (which resolves itself after said meal also gives her [[HiccupHijinks the hiccups]]). Later, Stacy and Jenny also get the same treatment. |
| 201 | * The ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' fanfic [[http://m.fanfiction.net/s/9532539/1/ Feast of Doom]] so far has Zim being fattened up to enormousness for an ally planet's Moon Festival. So much so that GIR gets lost in his rolls of fat. |

It started when she accidentally [[EatingTheEnemy defeated a monster made of living tar by instinctively swallowing it whole]] in chapter 5; Tar became the first of several pollution monsters she would consume in a similar manner. In addition, in several chapters she also eats similarly bloating meals in the form of massive amounts of regular pollution, including drinking gallons of soft drink contaminated with cocaine and even having an erotic dream sequence where Saitama begins coming onto her after she has gorged herself on a massive pollution spill. |
| 225 | ** Occasionally, other {{Cute Monster Girl}}s in the cast get similarly bloated. In chapter 15, Ki guzzles down four large bottles of liquid fertilizer, temporarily gaining a distended stomach before her body's desperate attempt to metabolize it [[MesACrowd causes her to split into four clones]]. Chapter 17 has a two-fer; Nori, one of Ki's clones, force-feeds her kombu to a monster named Do-S until her stomach bulges, threatening to [[PopGoesTheHuman continue feeding her until her stomach ruptures]], whilst the fic's version of Great Food Tub, here a [[CuteMonsterGirl sexy]] [[LizardFolk lizard-woman]], is introduced with her stomach massively distended as a result of her having just indulged her uncontrollable urges to [[MonstrousCannibalism devour her fellow monsters]]. |
| 226 | * ''Fanfic/WeCanBeHeroesStevenUniverse'': Lapis ends up with a massively stuffed belly after gorging herself on alien seafood. It's actually used as a minor narrative device by way of Lapis having eaten herself into a food coma, [[DreamSequence where she's been dreaming about the fun times she had with Steven.]] |
| 227 | * Mystery Girl (Called Sabina here) in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' shipping fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29095461 Distant Stars]]'' is described as having a bloated belly after eating a huge picnic meal Pearl had made for her. Amusingly, when she comments on being so full she could burst, [[LiteralMinded poor Pearl takes it literally.]] |
| 228 | * Played for drama in "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3833786/1/Danny-Phantom-Strength-in-Numbers Strength In Numbers]]" of the ''Fanfic/FacingTheFutureSeries'', in which Danny ends up pigging out a buffet (due to Desiree putting a spell on the food to make him eat nonstop), and ends up being so full of food that when a gathering of his RoguesGallery ambushes him outside the buffet, he can't fight back. |

| 230 | * Nabiki Tendo, of all characters, gets one in a chapter of ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'' after some of her crew make the mistake of betting actual cash that she couldn't finish the ridiculously huge order of sweets, pastries and desserts she inadvertently placed. The end result is Nabiki winds up looking like a python that swallowed a goat, with an almost pregnant-looking potbelly. Fortunately for her, Ranma's TrainingFromHell helps her to burn off the calories before they can wreak too much havoc on her figure. [[spoiler:She gets a second one, played for horror, in chapter 31, where she can only defeat a BlobMonster by [[EatingTheEnemy consuming and then digesting it]], resulting in her having to digest it before it can [[ChestBurster rip its way out of her stomach]]. Luckily for her, that belly goes down ''much'' faster, complete with the obligatory BurpOfFinality.]] |
| 231 | ** Original character crewmate Miriam ''routinely'' [[BigEater stuffs herself until she looks pregnant out of sheer gluttony]]. Though she has a pretty impressive metabolism and work-out regime, it [[BigBeautifulWoman has left a permanent impact on her waistline]]. |

| 245 | * ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' has a scene where Ralph and Vanellope get into a bunny-feeding touchscreen game for toddlers.

| 256 | * ''Film/CoolHandLuke'', after the Fifty Eggs Challenge. Mixed very oddly with a CrucifiedHeroShot. |
| 257 | * ''Funny Ghost'': When they're forced to fight the ghost at the end of the movie, the heroes realize that her belly bulges when they sacrifice their blood to the urn she feeds from.

[[ArtisticLicenseBiology He's fine afterwards]], after urinating ''a lot''. |
| 274 | * The main character in ''Film/{{Zebraman}} 2: Assault on Zebra City'', after eating a goo alien with the size of a skyscraper in means of defeating it and thus becoming a miniature planet with head and limbs. |

| 284 | * In ''Literature/CharlottesWeb'', when Templeton the Rat returns from stuffing himself on the bountiful discarded junk food at the county fair, the author describes him as "big around as a jelly jar", and by the end of the book, he gets even bigger as a result of Wilbur keeping his promise to let him have first dibs when Lurvy puts out his food. |

| 311 | * ''Series/{{Bottom}}'' has a subtle (by its standards) use of this in the episode "[[Recap/BottomGas Gas]]", when Eddie stands up after eating almost the entire contents of the neighboring flat's fridge. It's gone again a couple of shots later. |
| 312 | * ''Series/{{CSI}}'' had a rather nasty version of this when a guy was trying to use a device designed to help with dressing deer carcasses and help another guy with something. The victim basically got inflated to death. (though it wasn't murder in that situation). |
| 313 | ** Likewise, ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' did a serious version where an eco-terrorist tricked his way onto a Navy sub to release deadly gas there from a cold-triggered canister. When his first plan failed, his backup was to swallow the capsule of gas and commit suicide, so his body would be placed in the freezer and chill the capsule to the point of release. His body had a gas-swollen belly when the team found it but fortunately remained intact long enough for the team to launch it from one of the torpedo tubes. |
| 314 | * Over the course of the three-week Labor Day break, [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] has become so obese that special effects are required to make him look normal. John Oliver points out Stewart's obesity, but later "reveals" that he is a hallucination caused by Stewart's onset of diabetes. |
| 315 | -->''"Why did I rent that ice cream truck...?"'' |
| 316 | * At the end of the ''Series/FraggleRock'' episode "The Preachification of Convincing John", everyone gets a balloon belly after the vow to no longer eat Doozer constructions is lifted, and everyone ends up going a little overboard. Mokey concludes in her diary that she learned that there is such a thing as eating too many Doozer constructions. |
| 317 | * ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' gains some weight in a very short amount of time from excessive eating while going through a state of depression over his latest breakup. |
| 318 | * In ''Series/FTroop'', Agarn acquires one at the end of "Survival of the Fittest" after gorging himself in celebration of surviving the survival test. |
| 319 | * In the commentary for an episode of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', during a ShirtlessScene, Alan Tudyk wishes they hadn't shot right after he had a big lunch. |
| 320 | * In ''Series/TheGoodies'' episode "Holidays", Bill drinks so much tea he ends up with a huge balloon belly, which stays with him until the commercial break. |
| 321 | * ''Series/HannahMontana'' has Lilly; Though normally she is a BigEater, the only time she visibly gained weight was in "No Sugar, Sugar", where she ate an entire buffet made of nothing but sweets. |
| 322 | -->'''Lilly:''' I spent the entire night devouring everything Oliver tried to look at! I've eaten my entire body weight in cupcakes alone! |
| 323 | * At the beginning of the ''Series/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' episode "Honey, It's Gloom and Doom", Wayne gets one after tasting the fizzy breakfast drink he invented. This happened because he put too much sugar in it. |
| 324 | * ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' did a sly reference to Creator/AlysonHannigan's pregnancy by having her enter and win a hot-dog–eating contest -- with this result. |
| 325 | * ''Series/IncredibleCrew'': In the episode Face Jeans, there was a sketch where Chanelle was at a spelling B and she got her word wrong. She gasped and inflated like a human balloon, quickly floating in the air as if filled with helium. And then, like a balloon, she cartoonishly started flying around the auditorium and her then deflated body fell to the floor. |
| 326 | * ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has Barry Zeppelin, the least talented brother of Ferdinand von Zeppelin. After Barry fails to inflate a large balloon, the balloon inflates him. |
| 327 | * Happens on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' as Judy Collins is singing "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" where a shadow puppet of an old woman gets increasingly fatter with each animal she swallows... that is, until [[PopGoesTheHuman she explodes]] after swallowing a horse. |
| 328 | -->'''Judy Collins:''' She's dead, of course. |
| 329 | * ''Series/NightCourt'' in the final episode of Season 6 Yet Another Day in the Life, The bailiff Bull Shannon ends up largely bloated after attempting to plug up a leak in the water pipes. |
| 330 | * The titular character of ''Series/TheNewAdventuresOfOldChristine'' gained several pounds in the episode "He Ain't Heavy"; originally she had only gained weight in her butt, but eventually she gains enough weight for her stomach to start growing too. Both her belly and her butt remain swollen for the rest of the episode. |
| 331 | * In the ''Series/RedDwarf'' episode "Balance of Power", Cat gets a noticeable one after stuffing himself with Trout a la Creme from the vending machine. |
| 332 | * In an episode of ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'', Sabrina grows to ginormous size when she eats too many pancakes. |
| 333 | --> '''Sabrina:''' I think I might be retaining water. ...Or syrup. |
| 334 | ** This happens to Harvey in another episode, when he is captured by the witch from "Literature/HanselAndGretel". |
| 335 | * Amy Poehler, while still a cast member on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', used the balloon/pregnant belly gag when she was having her first child. One woman in an ad for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_rk0iRE59Q the Michael Phelps Diet]] -- a meal plan [[MegaMealChallenge that directs you to eat as much as an Olympic swimmer]], [[NutritionalNightmare without the calorie-burning part]] -- testifies next to a photo of her "old" self that she's been on the diet for "almost two weeks", and it's going great. Cue the camera angling out to show her in the same outfit, now looking like she's stuffed to burst. |
| 336 | -->'''Amy:''' People are already coming up to me and saying, [[MistakenForPregnant "Congratulations!"]] -- because they ''know'' I've found the perfect diet. |
| 337 | * In the ''Series/SmallWonder'' episode "Fat's Where It's At", Ted enabled Vicki to extract energy from food the way humans do. He also unwittingly gave her a superhuman appetite, which exceeded her digestive ability. |
| 338 | * This happens in a RealityShow, of all places. ''Series/{{Survivor}}'''s 20th season has Courtney Yates, who, after getting voted off and sent to Ponderosa, eats enough to make her stomach visibly bulge. She then goes to show it off to the camera: |
| 339 | --> '''Courtney:''' (pats belly) That's my food baby. ...Don't worry, I'm going to work out tomorrow. |
| 340 | --> ({{beat}}) |
| 341 | --> '''Courtney:''' (smiles) Maybe. |
| 342 | * A similar device was used in ''Series/{{Titus}}'' to use Creator/CynthiaWatros' pregnancy for a laugh. In this case, it was a pie-eating contest. |
| 343 | * ''Series/{{Whammy}}'': In one of the rotating Whammy animations, a supermodel Whammy struts down a runway. She sees the contestant's winnings, complains about being so hungry, and dives for the money. She has a noticeable belly by the time she's finished. |
| 344 | * Creator/AdrianEdmondson's ability to inflate his stomach at will was also used for a laugh on ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' episode "Cash" and ''Series/TheComicStripPresents''. |

| 346 | |
| 347 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 348 | * Near the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9YtJC-Kd8 this]] animated music video, two people get large bellies from drinking too much beer. |
| 349 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2mU6USTBRE music video]] for the Music/WeirdAlYankovic song "Fat" (to the tune of Music/MichaelJackson song "Bad") has the already wearing a fat suit Al literally balloon to even more impossible proportions. |
| 350 | [[/folder]] |
| 351 | |
| 352 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 353 | * In ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'', one of the many varieties of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent indigenous bloodsucker]] is the Shtriga, a Central European witch who feeds on blood to power her magic and preserve her youth. She is characterized by her gluttonous appetite, which sees her consuming so much blood that she ends up having to vomit some of the excess, and even after that her stomach is left so swollen and taut that she [[MistakenForPregnant can easily disguise herself as being a pregnant woman]]. Her stomach is so important to her that killing her requires staking her through the stomach. |
| 354 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': One archetype for the Witch class, the Gingerbread Witch, has [[SwallowedWhole the ability to swallow any target in their size category or smaller]]. If the swallowed target is the same size or one category smaller, the Witch's stomach distends greatly, causing the rules for carrying heavy loads to apply to them. Curiously, the target is not harmed inside the witch's belly and can theoretically remain there indefinitely. |
| 355 | [[/folder]] |
| 356 | |
| 357 | [[folder:Theme Parks]] |
| 358 | * In ''Ride/DespicableMeMinionMayhem'' at Ride/UniversalStudios, footage of Gru's failed tests of the Minion Gun at one point show one volunteer being turned into a bloated-looking Minion. |
| 359 | [[/folder]] |
| 360 | |
| 361 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 362 | * ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'': Nabnut the squirrel gets so bloated that he cannot move after eating too many acorns. |
| 363 | * Creator/DataEast's ''Diet Go Go'' has food-based enemies that throw food at our exercise outfit-clad hero and heroine. One hit with projectile food makes you fat, two makes you obese, leading to instant death. Averted if the enemies touch you directly, which is also instant death. To boot, the entire game's premise is about an evil scientist who's spreading junk food around the world, making people obese. |
| 364 | * ''VideoGame/FatPrincess'' is a downloadable real time strategy/action hybrid that has this as a strategic element, your goal is to capture the enemy princess whilst protecting your own and you can fatten the princess up to make it harder for the opposing army to move her. |
| 365 | * ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'': In ''Chef'' you control a chef who juggles food with a frying pan. If one meal hits the floor, it gets taken by a mouse who becomes larger upon eating it. Misses are also represented by fat mice. |
| 366 | * In ''{{VideoGame/Grow}} Cannon'', a lake creature can eat a fruit bigger than it is [[SwallowedWhole in one bite]] which make the aleady pudgy creature have an even bigger belly. |
| 367 | * In ''VideoGame/HamtaroHamHamsUnite'', you meet a hamster in Sunflower Market who is having trouble opening a box of cookies. After you help him, he'll chow down to the point where he'll become tubbier the next time you see him. |
| 368 | * In ''VideoGame/HamtaroHamHamHeartbreak'', Hamtaro and Bijou come across two hamsters who have pigged out on sunflower seeds. Hamtaro can learn the ham-chat Bloat-T from them, and he and Bijou demonstrate it. |
| 369 | * In ''Homescapes'' Austin [[ImagineSpot imagines himself with one]] after his mother says that eating cake with friends is the best cure for negativity. |
| 370 | * ''VideoGame/HungryLamu'': In the "Full Course" ending, Lamu is depicted with a large, round belly shortly after he devours the player character. Although he leaves a hand behind. |
| 371 | * ''VideoGame/IslandSaver'': When it has eaten enough fruit a bankimal expands to hilariously spherical proportions after filling up with coins that the player needs to retrieve. |
| 372 | * VideoGame/{{Karnov}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVxpFZurSCs balloooooooooon]] attack in ''VideoGame/FightersHistory''. |
| 373 | * In the original ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'', Riptor has a [[{{Fatality}} "No Mercy"]] finisher that combines this trope with ToServeMan: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2vlL5ehjQc After the correct button code is input]], she screeches and makes a diving kick at her victim, then there is a FadeToBlack GoryDiscretionShot. The scene then returns to display Riptor laying on her back, cradling an enormously distended belly. She burps loudly, farts once, and then immediately returns to her normal figure to make a triumphant roar. |
| 374 | * The Kooma Panda, Hebby Repp, Sudo Neku, and Toximander Dream Eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' get a brief case of this whenever you feed them one of the various oversized portions of RareCandy. Evidently, their HyperactiveMetabolism doesn't kick in instantly like it does for the rest of the Dream Eaters; their animations show them having their stomach issues last for a few more seconds than the regular animations. In other games, the [[SmashMook Fat Bandit]] Heartless gains an inflated stomach before it decides to breathe fire. |
| 375 | * BigEater Li Xiangfei gained a huge balloon belly in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG1cJu1btQs her team's ending]] for ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters 2001''. Rather surprising since it was averted in the similar ending for ''The King of Fighters '99''. It seems the artist in charge for 2001, Nona (known for drawing {{Gonk}} versions of every character), has no problem subverting the BeautyIsNeverTarnished trope. The China stage of 2002 has her in an eating contest with [[VideoGame/FatalFury Cheng Sinzan]], a rather large character who regularly fights by inflating himself. By the end, he loses while patting his (even more) distended stomach. |
| 376 | * ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': |
| 377 | ** Though it's hard to tell thanks to his anatomy (or lack thereof), the eponymous character presents an especially absurd example. His size quite literally ''doubles'' when he inhales an enemy. (However, it swiftly returns to normal once he decides to swallow.) |
| 378 | ** King Dedede is prone to this, too. When he swallows Kirby, his belly gets so big it forces his head all the way back until he spits him out. He also displays it if you let him beat you in Gourmet Race. |
| 379 | ** All doubt is removed in the Wii installment, in which Kirby's belly wiggle is lovingly animated. |
| 380 | * ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'': In the death where you eat poisoned chocolates, Elodie will GoOutWithASmile as she sits there with a bloated gut and [[GreenAroundTheGills a green face]]. |
| 381 | * ''VideoGame/TheLostVikings'' includes an air pump which balloonizes the three characters and make them float. |
| 382 | * In the ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' game series, if you collect enough dropped food items, you transform into an obese version of yourself. This affects not only your movement, but also your attacks: They're all increased in size and power, and the homing missiles home in on enemies better. It also changes your standing melee attack into a fork stab and crouching melee attack into a belt whip. |
| 383 | * ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': |
| 384 | ** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2Dos'': The Congalala uses this defensively, puffing out its stomach to deflect your attacks (Which may also trigger [[{{Fartillery}} a retaliatory fart]] if you keep hitting it there). |
| 385 | ** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter4'': The [[ThreateningShark Zamtrios]] uses this offensively, puffing out its belly if it manages to swallow you, afterwhich it'll start hitting it against the ground to cause damage to you and anyone else in the vicinity. Further, if you provoke it by breaking its ice armor, it'll temporarily inflate itself to point of looking more like a BlobMonster then a shark, switching to bouncing and rolling attacks instead of its usual biting and clawing as long as it remains in that state. Unfortunately for it, it's a lot more vulnerable once inflated and can be easily killed, or at the very least severely weakened, while in its inflated state. [[ThatOneBoss The Tigerstripe variant however knows how to switch between its normal and bloated states on the fly, and is ''seriously'' dangerous while fat.]] |
| 386 | ** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'': The Great Jagras will periodically swallow an Aptonoth or Kestodon whole and become severely bloated as a result, not unlike the Zamtrios mentioned above. While bloated, its fighting style changes to where it will not only try to flatten you by rolling over, but will also periodically [[{{Squick}} vomit up chunks of partially digested monster flesh]]. The Greatest Jagras variant is so huge that when it bloats up, a lot of its movements can trip you up with violent tremors [[ThatOneBoss which is a very bad thing given its monstrous strength.]] You can force both the normal and Greatest variants out of their "fat mode" by continuously attacking their bellies until they vomit up the rest of their prey, with the latter spewing a huge amount of shiny drops in the process. |
| 387 | ** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise'': |
| 388 | *** [[MixAndMatchCritters Platypus/frog/kappa monster]] Tetranadon can stuff itself full of gravel and river rocks, causing its belly to swell up which will slow it down, [[MightyGlacier but also make it hit much harder]] as a trade-off. |
| 389 | *** [[spoiler:Thunder Serpent Narwa]], whose thunder sac is a near-literal example of this trope. It's a swollen organ attached to her stomach, and is filled with tons of electric power at the cost of making her look like she's sporting a heavily bloated gut. |
| 390 | * In ''VideoGame/OsomatsuSanHesokuriWarsBattleOfTheNEETs'', [[http://hanaxsan.tumblr.com/post/154387990886/ichimatsu-christmas-ichimatsu-as-santa-rides this happens to]] Christmas Ichimatsu after eating way too much cake ([[VomitIndiscretionShot results]] are rather {{Squick}}y). |
| 391 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', [[FatBastard Roadhog]]'s stomach inflates greatly whenever he inhales from his [[FantasticDrug Hogdrogen gas]] can via his ''Take a Breather'' ability. |
| 392 | * Hilde from ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld'' has two forms. Curvy Hilde is the trope. Slim Hilde is the opposite. Oddly enough, she gains ''and'' loses weight via feeding (she drinks calories, not blood--some enemies have "negative" calories). |
| 393 | * In ''VideoGame/ShapeShiftShawn'', one of the creatures Shawn can transform into is a blue anthropomorphic balloon. He starts out small and deflated, but the player can inflate his balloon belly to several times its original size by jumping repeatedly. This ability allows the player to defy gravity and float around the level, but they must take care not to [[PopGoesTheHuman pop]] Shawn by moving too close to any sharp surfaces. |
| 394 | * [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100514003413/megamitensei/images/0/02/Tzitzimitl.png Tzitzimitl]], from ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', or at least her appearance in ''Videogame/{{Persona 4}}'', has a subtle one of these. As her Compendium lore states, she's swollen-bellied because she eats ''stars''. |
| 395 | * In ''VideoGame/SidAndAlsIncredibleToons'', Chow-Man's torso turns spherical after eating food that happens to fall into his tray. He quickly deflates as he walks it off on his treadmill. |
| 396 | * This happens to Sims in ''VideoGame/TheSims2'', in both directions: Immediately after getting up from a meal or getting off the treadmill, they may balloon to tubbyness or shrink to svelteness with a cheery sound effect. Contrast with ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', where fat and muscle are tracked separately, and gained or lost at a gradual rate. |
| 397 | * ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' has [[BlowYouAway Gusto]], a Trap Master with the ability to inhale large amounts of air, which makes his already-noticable gut become protruding and distended. |
| 398 | * In ''VideoGame/SpookysJumpScareMansion'', [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Specimen 4]] develops one after [[ToServeMan eating the player]] in her kill screen. |
| 399 | * In ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', Dhalsim gets this just before [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]]. |
| 400 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 401 | ** Any time Petey Piranha appears in a game where the player [[{{ElementalPowers}} uses]] [[{{WeaksauceWeakness}} water]] [[{{VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach}} as a]] [[{{VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine}} weapon]] you can guarantee you'll have to utilize his ballooniness to inflate him until his [[{{AttackItsWeakPoint}} belly button]] pops out, allowing you to ground pound it. |
| 402 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' tends to use this to show someone having drunk too much water or Chuckola Cola, typically with Mario swelling up like a balloon until Luigi sends the stuff squirting out by hitting him from behind with a hammer. |
| 403 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'': One of the Mario brothers' attacks, Snack Basket, involves stuffing Luigi with treats until he balloons up, followed by Mario tossing him at the ground to create a shock wave, as depicted on this page's image. |
| 404 | *** During his first visit to his castle, Bowser is goaded into gorging himself on fatty, unhealthy foods until he balloons to such a size that he breaks through the floor and remains stuck there until the Bros. can burn off the fat from inside his body. Later on he can return to said food to gorge himself up though this time he can burn the fat off himself just by doing sit-ups really fast. |
| 405 | ** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'': When the Water Vellumental absorbs water before using its powers, its torso swells to literally spherical proportions. |
| 406 | ** Any time you throw a shell, shoot star bits, or spin into the penguin coach from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', he briefly puffs out his belly in order to deflect your attacks. |
| 407 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Wario}}'': |
| 408 | *** Wario in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WBFw-wLQr4 Trailer]] |
| 409 | *** He also [[GassHole gains one]] over time during fights. |
| 410 | *** In fact, this happened to Wario in [[VideoGame/WarioLand most games]] that [[VideoGame/WarioWorld feature him]]. For example, in ''VideoGame/WarioLand3'', eating a single donut would cause him to balloon to sumo proportions, which would then be useful for crushing weight-related blocks. |
| 411 | ** In ''VideoGame/WarioWareDIY Showcase'', one of the minigames has Wario's belly inflating to deflect rockets. |
| 412 | * It's never shown but during the Miss Tenku contest DLC in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'', [[Anime/CrossAnge Salia]] states that [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Ma]][[Literature/FullMetalPanic o]] apparently drinks so much at night that she gets this. It's not out-of-character for [[GreenEyedMonster Salia]] to exaggerate about something like this when she's talking trash in a contest, but Mao's reaction seems to indicate that it's true. |
| 413 | -->'''Mao:''' You truly are pathetic. Could it be all the stress of the captain role you don't deserve? |
| 414 | -->'''Salia:''' I may be stressed, but that's better then you, drinking away your cares every night until you've got the figure of a beer keg! |
| 415 | -->'''Mao:''' [[LetsGetDangerous Now you've said it, kiddie!]] |
| 416 | -->'''Salia:''' [[JerkassHasAPoint You started it!]] |
| 417 | ** Even funnier when you realize that Salia is taking to another character who's seiyu also voices her former captain Zola Axeberg. |
| 418 | * In ''[[VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}} Super Scribblenauts]]'', fattening foods will turn anyone who eats them ''instantly'' into "Fat", "Chubby", and "Obese" versions of themselves, which involves simply stretching the body portion of the sprite to be wider. Using a potion with one of those adjectives will achieve the same effect. |
| 419 | * During the Arizona chapter of the fourth ''VideoGame/TengaiMakyou'' game, a cinematic shows an obese cowboy sneaking into a woman's room and force-feeding her cookies that cause her to instantly fatten up. |
| 420 | * ''VideoGame/ThisIsWhyYoureFatIn60Seconds'': The man at the end of the game can bloat up a lot after devouring all those turkeys, possibly ending up with thousands of kilograms in fat. |
| 421 | * ''VideoGame/TribalHunter'': This happens to Munch as he grows bigger, either from eating food/enemies or inhaling air. The bigger he is, the slower but stronger he gets. With the main theme being eating this happens with plenty of other characters in the game as well; to Munch’s detriment in the case of the [[SwallowedWhole ravenous Ghost Queen,]] but Munch can actually weaponize this against some bosses by force feeding them until their girth makes them immovable. |
| 422 | * This happened in ''VideoGame/UmJammerLammy'' after the title character gets free pizza after putting out a fire at a pizza shop. She gorges herself so much that she looks pregnant, but she just as quickly digests it. |
| 423 | * The Pakkun Lizards in the ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'' games typically get a case of this if they succeed in catching someone with [[SwallowedWhole their signature move]], thanks to them being diminutive in size compared to their victims. It's a case of tactical suicide, as they can't move or fight back while in this state, leaving them at your mercy (Plus the devoured character only takes damage when spat out, if at all). |
| 424 | * ''VideoGame/YumePenguinMonogatari'' ("Dream Penguin Story"), a Creator/{{Konami}} PlatformGame where you play a penguin trying to lose weight to impress his girlfriend. Falling in water will instantly make Penta as fat as he can get, and all the enemies throw food at him which will quickly fatten him up. One level is set in a giant cake. A [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil piracy check]], when failed, will cause him to instantly bulk up as soon as he touches food. |
| 425 | [[/folder]] |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 428 | * ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': |
| 429 | ** In "[[Recap/HTFTakeAHike Take a Hike]]", Nutty sucks out all the honey from a beehive and instantly becomes obese. This results in him being unable to outrun a bear and getting killed by it. |
| 430 | ** In "[[Recap/HTFAllInVein All In Vein]]", Lumpy (portayed as a vampire) sucks on a large amount of blood bags inside an ambulance. He ends up becoming bloated and thus is unable to escape [[WeakenedByTheLight the sunrise]], exploding as a result. |
| 431 | * Kphoria animations always play this trope whenever a character [[SwallowedWhole eats another one]]. |
| 432 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner:'' In [[Recap/HomestarRunnerAJumpingJackContest "A Jumping Jack Contest"]], The Cheat tries to ruin Homestar's performance at the jumping jack contest by offering him glass after glass of melonade. Homestar drinks every single one, and winds up with a big, sloshy belly and [[PottyEmergency a desperate need to urinate]]. |
| 433 | * There are animated banner ads out there that advertise ways to trim inches off your belly. Because most of these ads are animated with an UnintentionalUncannyValley look, their portrayal of a person losing weight typically consists of an otherwise skinny person with a large belly "deflating" so to speak, rather than having realistic body proportions for their before and after weights. |
| 434 | * ''Podcast/LessIsMorgue'': In Episode 9, Evelyn teases [[BigEater Riley]] for looking pregnant after eating too much barbecue. |
| 435 | -->'''Evelyn: '''"How do I put this...you ordered like four whole meals, and looking at you right now, I feel like people would offer you their seat on the bus." |
| 436 | * ''WebAnimation/LucasTheSpider'' ends up with a balloon ''butt'' after he and Findley the Fly (then known as "Bzzt") polish off a plate of chocolate-covered strawberries in the "I'm Starving" episode of the web series. Then again, being a spider, his stomach ''is'' in his butt. |
| 437 | * ''WebAnimation/Plan3'': Hosuh grows quite a gut while eating the tangerines provided by the Fate lord’s minions. |
| 438 | * ''The Green Azumarill'': |
| 439 | ** In an early short titled "The Bonk! Bamboozle (feat. Reptilian!)", Evil ends up with this after consuming many Bonk! cans. |
| 440 | ** In the 2018 Christmas Special titled "Green Azumarill How To's: How to Set Up the Perfect Christmas Setting", in the dramatization of an unfinished Christmas setting, the last things that were ruined were the presents, in which Green reveals he ate them, which resulted in Green getting this. |
| 441 | ** In the St. Patrick’s Day 2021 special titled "Green Azumarill gets a Shamrock Shake", Green orders a Shamrock Shake from [=McDonalds=], and when he likes it, he keeps asking for more, eventually resulting in this happening to Green. |
| 442 | * ''Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars'': Micheal takes after his mother. At some points, it's only made ''even worse'': Michael ate over ''1,000 burgers'' and had a harder time working it off. He then gained huge amounts of weight as a result of faulty nanomachines, to the point where even working it off would not work. |
| 443 | [[/folder]] |
| 444 | |
| 445 | [[folder:Web Comics]] |
| 446 | %%* Shaz in ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' has had this happen to him a couple of times. |
| 447 | * ''Bridgette's Belly'': As the comic title suggests, Bridgette bloats up quite often whether pregnant or not. Especially when she was [[http://bridgette.comicgenesis.com/d/20040422.html locked in the]] [[http://bridgette.comicgenesis.com/d/20040513.html school pantry,]] and the [[http://bridgette.comicgenesis.com/d/20050322.html dream]] [[http://bridgette.comicgenesis.com/d/20050328.html sequence.]] |
| 448 | * ''Webcomic/CravingControl'': |
| 449 | ** The comic centers on Lalia, a pretty redhead whose belly bulges out whenever she binges ([[BigEater which is often]]). Again, this is completely intentional. Notably, her eating habits started out ''borderline realistic,'' and eventually evolved to be cartoonishly large. Now provides the page image. |
| 450 | ** While not a glutton herself, Lalia's nerdy best friend Jane ended up with a bloated gut of her own during the Thanksgiving arc after eating her mother's cooking, albeit far more modest than the monstrous stomach Lalia herself sported on the same page. |
| 451 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': The Deepspeaker for Ahnkokanth starts to look very chubby indeed as he eats, which Dimo is a bit panicked to learn is a sign that he's getting near to DeathByGluttony "like a goldfish". Dimo has the Deepspeaker and other Deepdwelers at their impromptu feast get up and run around for a bit to prevent this and they all quickly slim back down to their original sizes. |
| 452 | * Used quite often in ''Webcomic/GorgeousPrincessCreamyBeamy'' with the title character, but subverted in that some of the girth ''does'' stick around afterwards. |
| 453 | %%* Happens to [[BigEater Scatchi the alien rat-woman]] ''often'' in ''{{Webcomic/Intragalactic}}'' (which is [[AuthorAppeal by the same person]]). |

| 456 | * Happens in ''Webcomic/{{Nebula}}'' when Jupiter tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] LargeAndInCharge by eating a ton of moons to become bigger; he remained pretty much the same, but with a larger stomach. Sun even lampshades how concerning seeing someone's stomach that distended logically is, and asks if he's alright. |
| 457 | * Happens to Hyde in ''Webcomic/{{Nightmarish}}'' after consuming ''[[BigEater 9,000]]'' bowls of ice cream, when they promised themselves as Jekyll they'd just have one. [[FrankensteinsMonster Scrap]] [[https://nightmarish-adventures.tumblr.com/post/172076114786/gluttony calls them out on this]]. |
| 458 | * In the ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/03/04 "Roiling"]], Tycho gets a big belly from holding in all of his poop. And it's hilarious. |

| 468 | * Happens a number of times in ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries''. Usually with Rolly in "[=DeVil=]-Age Elder", "Double Dog Dare" & "Two For The Show" and with Spot in "Alive 'N Chicken" |
| 469 | * ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'' |
| 470 | ** In "Internal Affairs", Oblina is infected by a parasite named Sal that invaded her stomach and caused her to gorge herself uncontrollably. Cue FantasticVoyagePlot by Ickis and Krumm to free the tremendously bloated Oblina from Sal's influence. |
| 471 | ** Krumm swallows a helium tank in 'Krumm Rises To The Top' causing his stomach to expand and his voice to get comically higher in pitch as he floats around. He also develops a bad attitude and alienates his friends, but they come back for him and Ickis purposefully eats a helium tank himself so they can catch up to Krumm before he floats away. The helium wears off naturally after a week, and the characters return to normal. |
| 472 | ** Ickis' special scaring ability (referred to as looming) has him inflate his body and grow gigantic, but he can't hold the form for very long. In 'Ickis vs The Red Zimbo' he abandons looming in favor of an easier tactic, and the Gromble scolds him for becoming fat and lazy. However, Ickis slims down after he looms again and realizes that was how he was meant to scare all along. |
| 473 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/ActionLeagueNow'' episode, "Fatter", [[GypsyCurse a Gypsy puts a curse]] on The Chief that causes him to have a huge appetite and eat rapidly, to the point where he ends up looking like a bowling ball with a head and limbs. Keep in mind that he's a plastic toy when this happens. |
| 474 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' episode, "Boogey-Mania", Tails is forced to eat a lot of junk food (although he's clearly happy to do so) in order to create a dream creature to combat Robotnik's nightmare monster. He ends up massively bloated and promptly triggers the GrowlingGut to happen to him before deflating with a belch. |
| 475 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is practically married to this trope. |
| 476 | ** In Business Time, Finn and Jake get these as a result of giving all their work to the business men and becoming fat and lazy. Jake later uses his expanding belly to defeat the businessman's machine. At the end of the episode, Jake [[VoluntaryShapeshifting magically gets rid of the gut;]] unfortunately, Finn can't do the same. |
| 477 | ** The Chamber of Frozen Blades has a sick Gunther's belly swell to titanic proportions and then... [[spoiler: he/she lays an egg?]] |
| 478 | ** In Ghost Princess, after the titular character's death, Clarence drinks a lot of Softy Cheese from a fountain dispenser, causing his stomach to expand [[MadeOfExplodium until it explodes.]] |
| 479 | ** The Ice King gets quite plump in Play Date after he stuffs himself with the food in Finn and Jake's kitchen over the course of hours. |
| 480 | ** Food Chain has Finn and Jake (as birds) getting ''absolutely massive'' bellies after completely gorging themselves on caterpillars. |
| 481 | ** In Joshua and Margaret Investigations, on Jake's birthday he stuffs his tummy with birthday cake, making him look like his mother Margaret during, of course, her pregnancy, as shown in the flashback. |

| 484 | * Hayley fattens herself up over an entire summer in the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "Camp Refoogee". |
| 485 | -->'''Hayley:''' Thank God we're going home. (she then pats her stomach) I think I gained the African 20. Seriously, I threw away more food than I ate. |
| 486 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': In "[[Recap/AmericanDragonJakeLongS01E8TheEggTheHeist The Egg]]", when the Huntsclan steal the titular [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent Griffin Egg]] that [[EggSitting Jake and Fu Dog were guarding]], the duo chases them all over the city to get it back. When the chase ends at a candy factory, where the egg is transformed into a peanut butter [[EasterEpisode Easter]] egg and [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles blends in with millions upon millions of other eggs in a large pile of them]], it takes Jake and Fu Dog several hours to unwrap and lick off the peanut butter of the other eggs until they find the real one. 8,033 eggs later, they finally find it. |

| 491 | * Happens to ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' in the episode "Just Desserts" after eating a bunch of candy, followed by a big meal, followed by two slices of wedding cake. Later, in a dream sequence, it happens again in a much more exaggerated fashion. |
| 492 | ** Buster's had this happen to him as well, but only in dream/fantasy sequences. Examples include him stuffing himself full of candy until he's enormously round in an ImagineSpot for the "Give Me Candy" holiday he proposes in "The Long Dull Winter", bloating up to humongous proportions after eating a massive chocolate sundae in the beginning of "Binky Barnes, Wingman", and sporting a modest potbelly in "Buster's Garden of Grief" after clearing out an ice cream truck. |
| 493 | * Happens to Sparky at the end of the ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' episode "When Worlds Collide" after he eats a ton of Halloween candy. |
| 494 | * In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'', AP does this to Joey by using him as a human water tank in order to wash the gunge of a slime-spewing monster covering up the city. |
| 495 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Momo gets one of these in "The King of Omashu" after eating a ton of cherries. As a result, he's too fat to climb through a vent to get help for the imprisoned group. |
| 496 | ** Sokka gets them sometimes, too. |
| 497 | * ''WesternAnimation/BackToTheFuture'': In the episode "Bravelord and the Demon Monstrux", this happens to Marty Mcfly after he's surrounded by a wall of soda cans from an evil vending machine (ItMakesSenseInContext). Apparently, he tried to escape by drinking it all. |
| 498 | --->'''Marty:''' Ugh, I gotta make a pitstop...! (pats his belly) |
| 499 | * In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' ComicBook/PlasticMan is quite prone to this, especially considering his [[RubberMan rubbery body]]. One instance happens in "Terror on Dinosaur Island!", where he stuffs himself with loot during one of his [[KleptomaniacHero kleptomania fits]]. In "Long Arm of the Law!", he intentionally gorged on water as a tactic to stop Rubberneck. |
| 500 | * ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': Cricket winds up with a massive one in "Desserted" after devouring a giant sundae to win his family a free meal. It happens to Cricket again in "Fast Foodie" after eating nothing but fast food for a week. Played less for laughs as it’s clearly taking a toll on his health. |
| 501 | * In ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' episode "Gene It On", Louise gets this after eating a lot of pie. |
| 502 | * ''WesternAnimation/BoyGirlDogCatMouseCheese'': In "Pen Pals", Boy bakes great-tasting cookies, but only for his pen pal Gretchen. His siblings pretend to be Gretchen so they can get the cookies for themselves, and get quite fat in the process. |

| 508 | * Snap has gotten one in four episodes of ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' -- "Chip Of Fools" after eating too many cookies [[spoiler:(it was all a dream)]], "If You Can't Beat 'Em, Eat 'Em" after eating a hamburger, "Gift of Good Intentions" (along with various other characters in [=ChalkZone=]) as a result of eating an everlasting sugarloaf, and "Calling Dr. Memory" where he eats [[ItMakesSenseInContext a giant meatball Skrawl was launching at him and Rudy]]. |
| 509 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' episode "Out To Launch", the Rangers eat so much aboard the spacecraft that they all show much rounder shapes while relaxing and digesting. This does not exclude Gadget; she only looks like she's pregnant. |
| 510 | * ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' |
| 511 | ** This happened to Clifford and his friends when they ate too many dog treats in "Tummy Trouble". |
| 512 | ** Cleo and T-Bone get these in "Clifford's Cookie Craving" after gorging on the giant cookie. |
| 513 | ** Frankie the chihuahua suffers one in his debut episode. |
| 514 | * The ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode, "Operation: N.O.-P.O.W.U.H". also had this happen to Numbuhs One, Three, Four, and Five after they were [[ForceFeeding force fed]] Gramma Stuffem's food, before [[BigEater Numbuh Two]] showed up and proceeded to eat the food. It also happens to Numbuh Two later on in the same episode, though not quite as severe as his teammates. |
| 515 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' episode "The Transplant", Courage defeats Kangaroo Eustace by feeding him croissants until he's too heavy for Eiffel Tower, and falls into the river. (Feeding it over the course of a minute, of course.) |
| 516 | ** This also happened in the episode "The King of Flan". |
| 517 | ** Eustace also gets one at the end of "Dome of Doom". |
| 518 | * Jay Sherman from ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''. He has one in a photo inside his girlfriend Alice's diamond locket, and gets one from eating a giant bagpipe-playing potato. |
| 519 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' episode "Lil Wrinkly One" is about Granny eating her stashed cigarette-like chocolates and having a balloon belly, leading to the family assuming she's pregnant. Many others consume these chocolates and grow balloon bellies too. [[spoiler:Lil-One discovers that pressing the bellies makes their hosts fart and lose their balloon bellies.]] |
| 520 | * This has happened twice so far in ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019'': |
| 521 | ** In the short "#[=LetThemEatPie=]", Giganta ends up with a bloated gut after eating 93 pies at an eating contest. Unfortunately for her, she's the first to lose said contest. |
| 522 | ** This also happens to Supergirl in "#[=TheFreshPrincessOfRenFaire=]", where her belly is shown to be bulging out from under her shirt after stuffing herself on turkey legs at the renaissance fair. |
| 523 | * Tod gets one after eating at his aunt's house in one episode of the Hanna-Barbera series ''WesternAnimation/{{Devlin}}''. |
| 524 | * ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' had a somewhat disturbing example, in an episode in which Toot fattened up to immobility. |
| 525 | * In an early ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode, "A Glass of Warm Ed", Ed sleepwalks and eats the other neighbor's food, giving himself a huge belly. Eddy then starts a breakfast business by ''retrieving the eaten food from Ed's stomach for the kids to eat.'' |
| 526 | ** All 3 Eds get Balloon Bellies in a return from a commercial break after eating a huge sandwich together. Edd falls flat on his back at the end. |
| 527 | ** In the episode "Stop, Look and Ed" Sarah and Jimmy both get huge balloon bellies eating a mountain of ice cream while sliding down it. |
| 528 | ** Ed gets a brief one in "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?" after swallowing a jawbreaker whole (bare in mind throughout the show, jawbreakers are typically depicted as being roughly the size of a bowling ball). |
| 529 | --->'''Ed:''' [[LampshadeHanging Aww... look. It's kicking, the little dickens.]] |
| 530 | --->'''Eddy:''' You're supposed to let it melt in your mouth! |
| 531 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "Just Desserts". Timmy wishes every edible in the world was dessert, and after a month, everybody balloons to ridiculous proportions, which becomes a big problem because [[spoiler: all that combined weight causes Earth to hurtle towards the Sun!]] |
| 532 | ** Also occurs to separate characters in a few other episodes. Chester in "Birthday Wish", Timmy in "Truth or Cosmoquences" and ''Timmy's Secret Wish!'', and Cosmo in "Mission Responsible" |
| 533 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Da Boom", Peter eats a whole year's worth of dehydrated meals, and then drinks a glass of water. {{Squick}}y hilarity ensues. |
| 534 | -->'''Peter:''' Everyone leave, I have to poop. ...'''NOW!!''' |
| 535 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' episode "Cookie Dough", Madame Foster bakes some cookies that Frankie apparently can't resist. When Bloo starts his plan to make them and sell them himself, Frankie [[BigEater takes advantage of this]] and spends the rest of the episode stuffing herself silly or getting her hands on more. During the credits, it shows Frankie stuffing her face with cookies and downing ''entire milk jugs'' before zooming out to show her inevitably enormous belly. |
| 536 | ** Bloo gains a Balloon Belly in multiple episodes. In "Hiccy Burp", in order to purposefully get the hiccups Bloo has Mac stuffing his facing, leaving him dazed and holding his bloated belly in the next shot. In "Squeeze the Day", he and Mac raid the refrigerator and eat just about everything inside, though only Bloo gets the Balloon Belly. A similar scene happens in "Imposter's Home For Um... Make 'Em Up Pals" with John [=McGee=] alongside Bloo, though his Balloon Belly isn't nearly as exaggerated as Bloo's. |
| 537 | * Professor Farnsworth and Leela from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' both sport balloon bellies after swapping minds with Amy in the episode "The Prisoner of Benda". On Leela's fat body, Hermes remarks that she makes WesternAnimation/{{Fat Albert|AndTheCosbyKids}} look like Normal Albert. Then Hermes swaps minds with Amy, who inverts the trope after witnessing Fry and Leela making out in Zoidberg and Farnsworth's bodies. |
| 538 | ** Also happens to Zoidberg when he has to eat 300 pounds of money from the Robot Mafia's casino. However, [[ItMakesSenseInContext he's invisible for most of the scene.]] |
| 539 | * Happens several times to Garfield in ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''. At least a couple of episodes are centered around that. |
| 540 | ** This happened to both Garfield and Odie at the end of WesternAnimation/GarfieldsThanksgiving. |
| 541 | ** This happens to Jon at one point as well, leading to a DietEpisode. |
| 542 | ** In "Rooster Revenge", when Roy falls in the water due to the boards on the bridge having a few cracks, his belly gets extremely large after he comes out of the water. |
| 543 | * ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle2007'': In the episode, "George Skips Breakfast", George kept his friends hungry throughout the episode, and then when no one was around George ate his breakfast and got really fat (however he was more round around his body than his belly). But the others come back so hungry that they literally eat the dirt and trees around George, gaining really big bellies. |
| 544 | ** George also gets one when entering a pie eating contest. |
| 545 | ** It happens a lot in Season 2. |
| 546 | * Pete has a memorable one in the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' episode "Calling all Goofs". |
| 547 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Green Eggs and Ham|2019}}'': Gluntz attempts to take on the Hamageddon, a massive meal comprised of a tower of green eggs, ham and toast, at a diner. She's later seen nursing a bloated stomach after only completing half of it. |
| 548 | * Has happened to Billy numerous times in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. Two particular examples are in "Underfist" where he turns into a virtual ball from consuming a giant made out of candy and in "A Kick in the Asgard" where it happens to him twice. The first time from drinking from a endless fountain of nectar for several hours to try and empty it and the second from feasting Valhalla to the point where partially eaten food is seen sitting at the back of his mouth because no more can go down his gullet. |
| 549 | * Predictably, a lot of "Literature/HanselAndGretel" adaptations. |
| 550 | ** ''2 Stupid Dogs'' had a trilogy of episodes where the mutts kept bumping into Little Red Riding Hood, who would then lead them on a search to find her grandmother's house. In one episode, they find themselves at the candy house from Hansel and Gretel, whereupon the witch hands the dogs various foodstuffs, demanding that they feed it to Red. One by one, the dogs toss them down her mouth into her stomach. A caption then suggests that this assembly line continues non-stop for two years and eight months, leaving Red enormously stuffed. |
| 551 | ** Oddly the two instances of carnivore in these episodes -- Red and the dogs eaten by the witch and Granny eaten by the wolf -- don't feature this, but the episode "Las Pelotas" does. Little Dog eats a compressed Big Dog, thinking it's a ball. Big Dog then returns to his normal size while inside Little Dog, seemingly filling out every part of his body. |
| 552 | * ''WesternAnimation/Hero108'': At the end of the episode "Marmot Castle", Jumpy Ghostface eats so many carrots he becomes too big to slide down the tube. |
| 553 | * In one ImagineSpot during an episode of ''WesternAnimation/HigglytownHeroes'', Twinkle imagines getting a few mermaids to find her missing bathing cap by having them drink the ocean through bendy straws. They find her cap, and end up with big, inflated bellies in the process. |
| 554 | * In the CharlieAndTheChocolateParody episode of ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'', Ami and Yumi get a job at the "Wacky Wally" candy factory, and as soon as they're allowed on the factory floor the girls proceed to eat everything in sight. We soon see them lounging happily on a bed of chocolate, both with full, bulging stomachs. (their reprimand was not quite as strict as it should have been). |
| 555 | ** In the episode "Rock N Roe", Ami and Yumi eat all the sushi at an all-sushi-you-can-eat buffet and both get full, big bellies. |
| 556 | * ''WesternAnimation/HunkyAndSpunky'': The short "Snubbed by a Snob" [[PlayedForDrama plays this for drama]] when a thoroughbred colt pigs out on apples and drinks so much water that his belly reaches the ground. Spunky is amused by this until the nearly immobile colt wanders near a raging bull. |
| 557 | * ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': At the end of the episode "Eye of the Dragon", Gadget, Penny, and Brain, while still in Hong Kong, go out for Chinese food. They are accompanied by Penny's new friend, who has introduced himself to her as the grandson of her uncle's Hong Kong contact. While they are at the restaurant, Brain becomes bloated after he devours everyone's order, while Gadget and Penny provide this dialogue... |
| 558 | --> '''Gadget:''' Stuffing yourself can be too much of a good thing. |
| 559 | --> '''Penny:''' That's right, Uncle Gadget, because if you're greedy, you may end up looking like my best friend...the blimp--I mean, Brain. |
| 560 | * ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' has some form of bloating in almost every other episode (For example, GIR swelling up to a Godzilla-sized proportion after eating too much candy); the creator is known to think morbid obesity is funny. |
| 561 | ** In "Zim Eats Waffles", GIR force-feeds Zim his waffles throughout the episode, resulting in his belly looking a bit round. |
| 562 | * ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': Happens to Jimmy, Beezy, and Heloise when they discover Lucius' private chocolate reserve in "There Will be Chocolate", as the trio's greedy usage leads to them all becoming extremely obese. Lucius also gets one very briefly in the same episode after devouring an entire feast for himself. |
| 563 | ** Also happens in the episode "The Product Tester" when Jimmy and Beezy have to eat several massive vats worth of ice cream that Lucius needs disposed. Also occurs earlier in the episode when Jimmy drinks a large amount of soda. |
| 564 | ** Happens to Beezy several times, such as eating Heloise's entire picnic in "Lucius Lost", eating a gigantic barbecued bird in "Monster Mutt", having to eat [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the ghost of his uneaten pizza crusts]] in "Ghostsmackers", and [[ExtremeOmnivore mistaking rocks for a buffet]] in "Spring Broke". |
| 565 | * The ''WesternAnimation/{{KaBlam}}'' episode "Sasquatch-Ersize!" features Henry and June having to get fit due to them being overweight couch potatoes and eating too much (practically any food they saw in that episode). |
| 566 | * Happens to Quack Quack on the ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' episode "Let's Play Superpowers" after he eats 712 pots of yogurt. |
| 567 | * Happens to the title character of ''WesternAnimation/KennyTheShark'' in the first episode "Special Delivery" after he's swallowed a bunch of junk to make him throw up the important package he swallowed. |
| 568 | * The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Grande Size Me" had to do with Ron only eating food from Bueno Nacho, but then starts eating anything he sees. Over the course of the episode, he started to get much fatter. |
| 569 | ** Also, often played straight whenever Rufus eats at Bueno Nacho. |
| 570 | * In SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' episode "The Spirit of Competition" Pabu, the WeaselMascot gets one after joining his owner Bolin for a night of binging on noodles. (And while Bolin is a thickly built fellow to begin with, and wasn't seen from angles that made it any too clear, he looked a bit bloated himself.) |
| 571 | * In one brief scene of the ''WesternAnimation/LesSisters'' episode "The Hermit", Wendy and Marine end up with stuffed bellies after eating a ton of berries while camping in their back yard. |
| 572 | * In ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', this happens to Lilo, Pleakley and Stitch when they activate Experiment 062 (nicknamed Frenchfry), after Nani restricts Lilo's diet to health food. All the food Frenchfry makes not only blows the characters up like balloons, but never makes them feel full, leaving them always hungry. In the end, they find that he is secretly fattening them up so he can eat them (he reforms later after finding Nani's health food is just as delicious). |
| 573 | ** Mertle also gets this at the end of "Slick", where she ends up with a huge belly after eating a ton of shave ice (17 servings in total). |
| 574 | * This happens repeatedly in Warner Brothers' ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoons. |
| 575 | ** In the cartoon "Holiday For Drumsticks", Daffy convinces a turkey to starve himself to avoid becoming Thanksgiving dinner, while Daffy stuffs himself on the food meant to fatten up the turkey and becomes massively bloated -- and is then unable to hide or even run from the farmer come Thanksgiving. |
| 576 | ** Bugs Bunny [[http://www.kevinmccorrytv.ca/beanstalk03.jpg stuffs himself silly]] after finding Elmer the Giant's carrot patch in ''Beanstalk Bunny''. |
| 577 | ** Chuck Jones' ''Chow Hound'' leads up to this condition with a big dog who constantly bullies a cat and mouse to supply him with meat. He finally acquires all he can eat, and ends up in the hospital miserably distended, barely able to breathe. The cat and mouse reappear and utter the chilling last line "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7bEytedtE This time we didn't forget the gravy!]]" |
| 578 | ** In the cartoon "Bye Bye Bluebeard", a pesky mouse saves Porky Pig from the menacing Bluebeard, and is rewarded when Porky shares his dinner. As they eat to the count of an exercise program on the radio, the mouse [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGvxUB1p4hg lifts up the tablecloth and reveals his fat belly, happily patting it.]] |
| 579 | ** In the cartoon "Hoppy Go Lucky", a mouse eats too much cheese and uses his belly like a basketball to dribble away from Sylvester. |
| 580 | ** It happens to Bugs again in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' when he hires Porky Pig to cater his parties, serving various foods cooked in way too much butter. Everyone, even Porky, points out he shouldn't be eating that kind of food all the time, especially when he ends up tripling in size. |
| 581 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/CheeseChasers'', two mice, Hubie and Bertie, end up with very bloated stomachs after binging at a cheese factory. |
| 582 | * On ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' [=SpongeBob=] eats too many Krabby Patties. In a later episode, Yogi Bear eats a whole picnic. |
| 583 | * Happened quite a number of times to ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'': |
| 584 | ** Bogus gains one after eating all of the food in the vending machine in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E3ADayAtTheOffice A Day at the Office]]". |
| 585 | ** Happens to Brattus after eating an entire DagwoodSandwich in the kitchen in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E4EtTuBrattus Et Tu, Brattus?]]" |
| 586 | ** Happens twice to Brattus in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E6BeachBlanketBogus Beach Blanket Bogus]]". The first time when Bogus allows him to eat the sausage link that they acquired from the dog. The second time was when he eats an entire cake. |
| 587 | ** The third act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS1E12BogusInBogusLand Bogus In Bogus Land]]" had this happen to Bogus again. He hides at the bottom of an ice cream that a girl is about to have, when the girl wants 5 scoops of ice cream. Before the girl can eat the ice cream, however, all 5 scoops suddenly disappear into the cone (thanks to Bogus), which causes the girl to scream and drop the cone. Afterwards, Bogus then lifts up the cone while laying on the ground with an enlarged belly from eating the ice cream. |

| 629 | * In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Major Monogram bloats after eating cheese in the episode "Remains of the Platypus". {{Justified}} in this case, because what causes the bloating isn't the quantity that he eats but rather an allergic reaction to the cheese that makes him swell up. |
| 630 | * Played to [[{{Squick}} disturbing effect]] in a 1937 cartoon short "WesternAnimation/{{Pigs Is Pigs|1937}}", in which a greedy piglet, as implied punishment for being so gluttonous that he makes his family go hungry some nights without remorse, is strapped into a machine and force-fed until his stomach distends grotesquely. As the payoff, he can't resist just one more bite of food when he finally has the window to escape...and explodes. Thankfully, it's AllJustADream. (Not to be confused with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYXlF3sa9xs 1954 Pigs Is Pigs]], which is a hilarious and adorable classic and not squicky at all.) |
| 631 | ** A Halloween episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' has a deliberate homage to "Pigs Is Pigs", where Homer goes to Hell and is force-fed donuts while strapped to the same "Feed-A-Matic" chair. The Devil is frustrated when a stuffed Homer happily says "More!" between mouthfuls. Matt Groening has said that the "Pigs is Pigs" scene is his favorite sequence in animation history. |
| 632 | * This happens a number of times in various ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoons. |

| 682 | * Subverted in the film adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TopCat, in the scene where Dibble returns to the alley to alert TC and his gang that the villain became Chief of Police... after the gang had a celebration going.

He does however, state he feels sick from eating too much having partied. |

| 686 | ** Gwen, Heather and Katie all stuff themselves during the breakfast buffet in "[[Recap/TotalDramaTheBigSleep The Big Sleep]]".

In contrast, Gwen and Katie grow smaller bumps on their bellies, but stay standing straight. |
| 687 | ** Leshawna's stomach bloats up with gas to the point of resembling a pregnancy after drinking a couple of Chef's bran smoothies in "[[Recap/TotalDramaFullMetalDrama Full Metal Drama]]". Leshawna goes as far as calling it her "air baby" and noting that it wants to be born, which her teammates, with whom she's hiding in a hole, unsuccessfully try to prevent from happening. |

During the eating competition obstacle course, Scott develops a heavy sack belly from the previously consumed gruel and the challenge's giant pancakes.

| 692 | ** Sky's belly bulges out with gas after she drinks a large jug of mineral water as a dare in "[[Recap/TotalDramaILoveYouILoveYouKnots I Love You, I Love You Knots]]". She doesn't feel well after that and can't predict which side the gas is going to come out of. |
| 693 | * Happens to Clover in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' after eating several boxes of addictive cookies that cause her to balloon up in size.

| 698 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/WallyGator'' episode "Tantalizin' Turnips", Wally tries to escape from [[DeepSouth Swampy Waters]] by hiding underwater.

The next shot we see of him he's back to his normal size with no explanation how, [[OffModel nor why his shirt turned green.]] |
| 699 | * In ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', this happened to Grizzly in "Hibernation" due to having gorged himself on most of the food in the fridge so he could hibernate. |
| 700 | * An extreme example occurs on ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishfart}}'' to [[BigEater Puffin]] in "Spicy is Paradisey", where he turns into a living mountain after eating non-stop for ''5000 years'' as a result of wishing for a bottomless appetite. |
| 701 | * ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'': Happens three times in this show. |

| 706 | * ''WesternAnimation/ZekesPad'': In "You Art What You Eat", Zeke gains one after eating an entire room full of pancakes. It starts to cause problems for him later in the episode, as it's so heavy that it gets in the way during PE and gets him sent to a fat camp as a result. |
| 707 | * This crops up in a few [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheZhuZhus'' episode "Zhu's the Boss" When Frankie's coming up with house rules as part of a bet with her dad, Chunk comes up with the idea of making cake be considered a vegetable. The ensuing ImagineSpot has Frankie eating a plate stacked with huge slices of cake, and once she eats it all she's left with a swollen, gurgling tummy. Another of his rules is to install a never-ending ice cream machine, and ''that'' ImagineSpot has Frankie, her mom, and her dad all with massively stuffed bellies before ice cream starts to literally flood the house. |
| 708 | * WesternAnimation/ZokieOfPlanetRuby: This happens to Ruby's mom at the end of "Love Nuts" after she spends the whole episode trying to "get to the bottom of the bottomless soup" at a restaurant. Followed by a (fortunate) VomitDiscretionShot when Ruby hugs her bloated mother a little too tight... |
