History Film / FatSlags

While there, they accidentally charm their way into the heart of a multi-multi-multi-billionaire, Sean Cooley (Jerry O'Connell), who has just suffered a severe blow to the head. The blow makes him forget to hide his ChubbyChaser fetish and, when he sees the girls on TV, he gets obsessed with them. He decides to make Fat Admirers the driving force behind all fashion and pop culture, while showering the ladies in gifts and unwittingly causing his besotten Personal Assistant, Paige (Geri Halliwell), to gorge herself into a BigBeautifulWoman. First Britain and then, offscreen, the rest of the world become enthusiastic Fat Admirers and either Big Beautiful Women or those who want to be [[BigBeautifulWoman BBWs]].

* {{Corpsing}}: Dolph Lundgren is obviously trying not to laugh when the Slags give him mouth-to-mouth.

* [[spoiler:PlotHole: Cooley was being wheeled in for penis reattachment surgery ''after'' Tracy accidentally fell onto the secretary general and the slags were thrown in jail. Yet he's released from the hospital as the secretary general arrives in an ambulance. As Bad Movie Beatdown pointed out, either the poor secretary general had the longest ride to the ER the world has ever seen, or Cooley's delicate & complicated surgical procedure happened at warp speed.]]
* [[spoiler:StatusQuoIsGod: Subverted - by the film's end they have lost not only everything they've gained over the course of their adventure, but even ''their house'' which was gutted to be put on display as a work of art. Their boyfriends manage to return from [[PutOnABus their little trip to Afghanistan]], though [[UnexplainedRecovery how they did so is never explained]]. The national fad sparked from their shortlived television career also dies off about as abruptly as it began once Cooley stops promoting them.]]

The 2004 live-action film adaptation of the Viz comic storyline ''Fat Slags''. The story follows two immense women from an over-the-top stereotype of the [[OopNorth North-West of England]] going to the slightly less over-the-top stereotype of London, to sit in the StudioAudience of a current affairs show.

* TheUnintelligible: The slags' boyfriends, Baz and Dave. Their thick Northern accents 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."

* 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 , 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.

* BritishAccents: Everyone in Fulchester speaks in a Lancastrian accent, and Baz and Dave turn it UpToEleven with an incomprehensible version of the accent. All this despite the fact that not only in the Viz comic Fulchester is supposed to be an {{Expy}} of Newcastle, home of the ''Geordie'' accent, but unlike most characters, the eponymous Fat Slags in the comic are from Nottingham!

* [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts Naomi Campbell Hates Your Guts]]: The store scene.

** Of course, every other woman in Britain apparently now has the rare variation of a thin person stuffing themselves continuously and actually becoming '' '''fat''' '' as a result.
*** Paige eats lunch onscreen after fat becomes fashionable. Her lunch consists of eight or more giant, double-chocolate-chip cookies and a slab (one sixth) of an ''enormous'', rich chocolate cake.
*** It's displayed on-screen in the cameo role by Naomi Campbell. She has started eating nonstop, taking huge bites of enormous greasy burgers in between every sentence.

* CastingGag: Hard to say whether it was intentional or not, but Paige's weight gain subplot carries an extra layer of subtext when you consider that back in her Spice Girls days, Geri Halliwell wasn't exactly ''fat'' per se, but definitely on the curvier side. After quitting the group she lost a lot of weight and has generally been quite skinny since then.

* HollywoodPudgy:[[invoked]] Subverted when NaomiCampbell does a cameo role in which her gain consists of about fifteen to twenty pounds and it is intentionally treated as ''not enough'' gain.

* AffectionateParody: multiple instances, including a surprisingly in-depth one of MissionImpossible.
* AwfulBritishSexComedy

* FranchiseKiller: ...or so one would believe from news reports at the time. It was claimed that their creator was so dismayed with the quality of the film (which Viz had no involvement with, having sold off the rights years previously), that he was going to cancel the strip ([[http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2004/oct/19/pressandpublishing.film like so]]). However, it later turned out that this had been misreported, and it wasn't cancelled.

* RefugeInVulgarity.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Pretty much the whole female population of Britain, mostly off-screen.
** "J-Lo" is seen from behind trying to squeeze through a doorway that is too narrow for her buttocks.
** Paige, played by Geri Halliwell, goes from being typically Geri Halliwell skinny to a BBW in a month and even if you don't usually find [=BBW=]s sexy...it's ''still'' Geri Halliwell!
