Added DiffLines:

* BalloonBelly: After the weight gaining trend takes off, Paige is seen unbuttoning her suit jacket to reveal her stomach is already bloated enough from eating to tightly strain the buttons of her shirt - and she obviously wants it to get even bigger.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilBrit: Inverted; Sean Cooly, played by Jerry O’Connell, is the only character to have an American accent and is a RichBastard as well as the main antagonist.

None

Added DiffLines:

* LoveMakesYouDumb: Paige has it pointed out to her that just because she’s getting fat doesn’t mean it’ll actually succeed in attracting Sean. But by this point, not only is Paige still too obsessed with winning over Sean to care, she’s too gluttonous to care and is now addicted to fattening foods.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first we see of the Slags is them grabbing their mailman, dragging him into the house, and then throwing him back out half-dressed and dazed, heavily implying they raped him. This, incidentally, is as close as the film's versions of San and Grey get to the comics version.

* BigEater: Obviously the Fat Slags are the fat variety. Shortly after they start dating a multi-trillionaire, we have a scene showing one of the Fat Slags, then panning down her chest to follow a table piled three feet high with ''ridiculously'' fattening food for about a full minute before panning up the other Fat Slag. The pile of food is so long, they need a phone at each end to talk.

** Paige becomes one out of desperation to please and attract Cooley, but soon she begins gorging herself for pure pleasure and gluttony all the same. Best seen when even the failed logic of her plan to fatten up for Cooley is pointed out, she still gluttonously shoves a slab of cake into her mouth moaning with pleasure the whole time.


Added DiffLines:

* FormerlyFit: Paige, desperate to win over Cooley, fattens herself up to try to become attractive to him. She gets very fat in a short amount of time, losing her slender figure to the immense amount of food she stuffs herself with.


Added DiffLines:

* ShaggyDogStory: Subverted. Paige loses her figure fattening up to try to please and attract Cooley. By the time she’s grown fat, he’s already snapped out of his public fat fetish and surely wouldn’t love her even now. But now she’s seen how shallow and pathetic he is, and is embracing her new size as a BigBeautifulWoman and moving on from him, even if it cost her her thin body.

Corpsing is now trivia, moving to that tab.


* {{Corpsing}}: Creator/DolphLundgren is obviously trying not to laugh when the Slags give him mouth-to-mouth.

* TheUnintelligible: The slags' boyfriends, Baz and Dave. Their thick northern accents and [[MotorMouth rapid speech]] are so incomprehensible they're mistaken for illegal immigrants and deported to Afghanistan - the interrogators think Dave, telling them that San gives Baz a "hard-on," actually said "Osama Bin Laden."
