Basic Trope: If someone eats a lot of food, they will be seen afterwards will a larger belly.
- Straight:
- In one scene, Alice binges on cake. In the next, her bloated belly is made evident.
- Alice's stomach inflates when she uses her air attack, which has her inhaling from a can of purified air and forming a tornado in her stomach to spit out at her enemies.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice swells up like a big balloon after eating one California roll.
- Alice eats so much her belly gets bigger than a house.
- Alice's stomach swells to the size of the moon.
- Alice inhales so much her belly is big enough to block the entrance to the cave she and Charlie are hiding in.
- Downplayed:
- Alice's clothes get a bit snug after she eats a big meal.
- Alice gets a little bloated when she uses her air attack.
- Justified:
- Alice has an allergy that causes bloating.
- Alice is a Human Alien with a usually deflated stomach that inflates for digestion.
- Inverted:
- Alice is in an advertisement for food that helps one lose weight.
- Squashed Flat
- Subverted:
- Alice is served a large quantity of fattening food. The person who serves it to her expects her belly to be bloated, but she does not gain a single apparent pound.
- Alice uses her tornado-in-the-gut attack, but yet doesn't expand.
- Double Subverted:
- But once Alice unzips her pants, her belly bulges out.
- Bob asks Alice why she'd didn't get bloated. Alice then unzips her pants and her belly knocks Bob over.
- Parodied:
- While the team is hiding in Jack's basement, Alice eats an entire year's supply of dehydrated foods, not knowing they're dehydrated. She then drinks a glass of water and Squicky Hilarity Ensues.
- A tornado is coming to Troperville, and when Bob and Tony see it and panic, Alice appears, declares "I'll solve it!", and inhales the tornado, bloating up in the process.
- Zig Zagged: Various scenes are shown involving Alice eating, and her belly is either exaggerated or unchanged.
- Averted: Alice's belly expands realistically.
- Enforced: The show is a comedy, and this is the standard result of a binge.
- Lampshaded: "Hey, are you hungry for some food? Oh, never mind, I see your belly."
- Invoked: Alice supplements her food with a weight gain pill.
- Exploited:
- Alice uses her increased size to crush her foes sumo-style.
- Alice inflates to use herself as a human shield.
- Defied:
- Alice takes medication to prevent her distension.
- Alice eats slowly to allow all her food to properly digest.
- Discussed: "You know Bob, your girlfriend isn't that attractive when she eats sushi."
- Conversed: "See this show? That’s what Alice looks when she goes out for All-You-Can-Eat."
- Implied: See Discussed, except Alice is The Ghost.
- Deconstructed:
- Alice becomes self-conscious about her belly's growth after eating large amounts of food and purges excessively, or barely eats at all.
- "Pop!" Goes the Human
- Reconstructed: Alice learns to accept her body for what it is.
- Plotted A Good Waste: Some people found Alice stuffing herself to be erotic... which was completely intentional.
- Played for Laughs: Alice explodes like a popped balloon... Only to be completely normal again after an angle change or two.
- Played for Drama: Alice's gorging herself was due to a previously undiagnosed eating disorder, and now she's dead. Bet you feel bad for laughing now, don't you?
- Played for Horror: "Pop!" Goes the Human
Deflate back to Balloon Belly.
