Line #54 PlayingWith/FatBastard


1	'''Basic Trope''': Fat people portrayed as massive {{jerk\|ass}}s, if not outright evil.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob is overweight, and a {{jerkass}}.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Bob is morbidly obese, and a [[HateSink horrible]] [[CompleteMonster villain]].
5	** Bob is the fattest person to ever live, and an OmnicidalManiac.
6	* '''Downplayed''':
7	** Bob is pudgy and quite irritable, [[GoodIsNotNice though he's not really]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold much of a bad person]].
8	** Bob is overweight [[AffablyEvil but fairly friendly and affable, though still being one of the bad guys]].
9	** Bob is not particularly overweight, he just seems that way compared to his muscular guards and his malnourished subjects.
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** Bob's greed and entitlement are [[VillainousGlutton the reason he's fat]] in a setting where food is scarce and many people are starving.
12	** Bob suffers from health issues caused by his obesity. His severe pain makes him grumpy all the time.
13	* '''Inverted''':
14	** Bob is thin as a twig, and the nicest person ever.
15	** [[LeanAndMean Bob is skinny as a rail, and one of the nastiest people you could ever meet]].
16	** [[BigFun Bob is obese, yet also kindhearted and fun-loving]]. He's also so saintly that he feeds millions of hungry people.
17	* '''Subverted''':
18	** Bob is fat, and a jerk, but he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
19	** Bob slims up but remains as bastard-ish as ever.
20	** Bob only ''SEEMS'' like a jerk, but is really NotEvilJustMisunderstood, and is quite a GentleGiant when you know him.
21	* '''Double Subverted''':
22	** Bob is fat, and a jerk, and if you think he's got a HiddenHeartOfGold... he does not. He's a total JerkWithAHeartOfJerk.
23	** Bob eventually gets sick of his diet and ends up getting fat again.
24	** Bob is fat, a jerk, and the villain, but while he can seem like he is NotEvilJustMisunderstood and all things considered, he's still an AntiVillain at best who might be AffablyEvil when he's having a good day.
25	* '''Parodied''':
26	** Bob does [[PokeThePoodle ridiculously petty things]], but he's still treated as the ultimate evil.
27	** Bob starts out as a skinny NiceGuy but undergoes a massive weight gain, which instantly turns him into a CardCarryingVillain.
28	** Bob is a fat supervillain whose main gimmick is his {{Villainous Glutton}}y. In fact he's so obese, he jiggles as he walks, wears a supervillain costume that barely fits him, goes around merrily hopping down the streets (causing slight tremors as he does so), [[KickTheDog kicking]] (or eating) any dogs along the way. [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Oh, and]] [[ImAHumanitarian he's also a cannibal]] [[ChildEater who devours]] [[EatsBabies little kids]].
29	* '''Zig Zagged''':
30	** Some fat people are jerks, others aren't.
31	** Bob is a ConMan and MasterOfDisguise, ready to gain or lose large amounts of weight on short order for the sake of a new identity.
32	* '''Averted''': Weight has nothing to do with how nice a person is.
33	* '''Enforced''': "We want to add another negative quality to our villain. I know, let's make him fat."
34	* '''Lampshaded''':
35	** "Oh hey, a fat person. How many of you wanna take bets that he's evil?"
36	** "I didn't know they had {{heel}}s in ''sumo'' [[ProfessionalWrestling wrestling]]..."
37	* '''Invoked''': [[IdiotHero Hiro]] constantly antagonizes Bob, under the "[[LogicalFallacies reasoning]]" that all fat people are evil. CreateYourOwnVillain ensues.
38	* '''Exploited''': [[TheBartender Alex]] figures his appearance will help him gain the trust of human traffickers to gather enough evidence to bring down the whole ring.
39	* '''Defied''': Bob, a villain of average build notes that being too fat limits them. "You need to be in good shape in near everything in this business. Getting too out of shape at the top is just asking to be replaced."
40	* '''Discussed''': "Why does Bob [[YouPutTheXInXY put the 'fat' in 'fatal']]?"
41	* '''Conversed''': "Figures that Hollywood will vilify anyone that doesn't fit their impossible standards of beauty, without having plastic surgery and hours of makeup."
42	* '''Implied''': Bob is TheGhost, and many people mention him being unlikable and rude.
43	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob tries to be nice, but everyone assumes him to be a jerk because he's fat.
44	* '''Reconstructed''': People eventually realize that Bob isn't a jerk, and start treating him nicely again.
45	* '''Played For Laughs''':
46	** Bob is a constant target of fat jokes by all his enemies (and his own allies or underlings whenever he's not around).
47	** Bob proves to be a very [[FatIdiot dimwitted]] and [[HarmlessVillain incompetent]] villain whose [[VillainousGlutton binge-eating habits]] tend to ruin his own schemes.
48	* '''Played For Drama''':
49	** [[AristocratsAreEvil Bob]] is [[VillainousGlutton intentionally hoarding food]] while millions of hungry poor people are starving, with his weight simply being another way to flaunt that he alone lives in luxury.
50	** Bob may be TheEmperor in charge of a [[GoodRepublicEvilEmpire warmongering empire]], but he becomes an AdiposeRex from overeating due to [[LonelyAtTheTop having no real friends]].
51	** [[JerkassWoobie Bob has suffered domestic abuse]]. The trauma makes him overeat, and then he uses the trauma as a FreudianExcuse to seek [[TheChainOfHarm revenge against humanity]].
52	** Bob is HatedByAll [[DisproportionateRetribution simply for being obese]], and upon [[ThenLetMeBeEvil realizing he couldn't possibly be more despised]], [[FaceHeelTurn Bob becomes a villain]].
53	* '''Untwisted''': Bob's personality takes a turn for the worst after he loses weight, only for flashbacks to reveal he was bad back then only better at hiding it.
