'''Basic Trope''': A fat zombie.
* '''Straight''': Bob is turned into a zombie, who is a little on the portly side.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Bob is disgustingly obese as a zombie
** Everyone in the BigFatFuture is turned into DeadWeight during a ZombieApocalypse
* '''Downplayed''': Bob is HollywoodPudgy at worst
* '''Justified''':
** Bob has been feasting on flesh.. and lots of it
** Bob's [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombification process]] involved [[NauseaFuel putrification]], which led to gases building up and making him look bloated.
** Bob was rather chubby ''before'' he became a zombie, and there's no reason for fat people to be immune to zombification.
** [[ActionBomb Bob]] is a MookMaker: he is [[MisterSeahorse a containment chamber]] for smaller creatures that spread the infection. (Think the squid things in ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' or the Swarmers in Franchise/DeadSpace.)
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob is a very skinny zombie.
** Justified Inversion -- The zombification is caused by TheVirus, and those tend to waste the poor guy to skin-and-bones before killing and zombifying him.
* '''Subverted''':
** Bob appears no fatter than any other zombies around.
** The visible portions of his skeleton prove that Bob really ''is'' just big-boned.
* '''Double Subverted''': But after eating plenty of BrainFood, he gains a substantial amount of weight
* '''Parodied''':
** Bob complains about not being able to fit into his now-ragged clothing.
** A ZombieApocalypse in a BigFatFuture setting
* '''Averted''':
** No fat zombies
** No zombies, period.
* '''Enforced''': A character played by a fat actor is zombified, but he's popular enough that he sticks around for a while as DeadWeight.
* '''Lampshaded''': "[[SarcasmMode Just what we need]], an undead sumo wrestler."
* '''Invoked''': Bob's [[BigEater nonstop feasting on flesh]] causes him to gain weight.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Bob doesn't eat ''too'' much and doesn't gain weight.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "You know, I don't usually think of zombies as being overweight."
* '''Deconstructed''': Between the ZombieGait and the weight, Bob is ''slow''. Too slow to be a threat to anyone.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob was {{Acrofatic}} and/or had StoutStrength before he died, and death has not robbed him of athleticism. [[TheJuggernaut He's strong and/or fast as hell and super hard to put down]], and is more dangerous than any skinny zombie.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Bob is carrying around a KFC bucket full of human body parts and munching on them constantly.
** Fat or HollywoodPudgy zombies are seen ''attempting'' to follow a workout video.
* '''Played For Drama''':
** Bob is eating ''[[ExtremeOmnivore everything]]'' in his path... And is [[TheJuggernaut really hard to destroy]].
** Bob becomes an ActionBomb
** Bob is a textbook case of HorrorHunger, and no amount of victims is enough to fill the unholy void inside him.
