* FantasticDrug: The formula, naturally.
formula in some ways acts like a harmful drug, right down to Sherman developing a dependence on it due to the confidence it imbues him.
* FatAndProud: None of Sherman's family understand why Sherman would be so focused on losing weight, as they consider their weight to be a source of pride that they love showing off, damn what anyone else might think.
* FatComicRelief: The entire Klump family ''IN SPADES''.

* PianoCoverSlam: Buddy Love's first form of revenge against insult comedian Reggie Warrington, who made fun of Sherman Klump's weight repeatedly on his first date, is to give him A Taste of Their Own Medicine by getting up on stage and repeatedly insulting the weight of Reggie's mother. Once Reggie finally loses his temper and tries attacking Buddy, Buddy wipes the floor with him, and rounds off his roast by playing a round on the piano, right before slamming the fallboard on Reggie's fingers, just to make him scream like a little girl.

Added DiffLines:

* CulturallySensitiveAdaptation: In the original, the main character was crushing on one of his students. Even if she reciprocated and even if she was a consenting adult, a teacher dating a student would still be frowned on. In the remake, Carla is an older grad student, which puts her more on Sherman's level and is a bit more acceptable.

* ArcWords: "Yes, I can!"



* DeathOfPersonality: Buddy Love's ultimate endgoal, to get rid of Sherman Klump forever.



* TakeThat:
** Eddie Murphy's Buddy Love sent up the negative traits of his own persona during his cold streak at the box office in the early '90s, something that did not go unnoticed by critics.
** Dave Chapelle's character is an enormous take that to UncleTomfoolery and hacky stand-up comedy in general.
