One Got Fat is a 1963 bicycle safety film narrated by Edward Everett Horton. In the film, ten friends who are children with monkey masks and tails, plan on going to the park for a picnic. They all ride there on their bikes, but each one meets a different fate on their way to the park as a result of their failure to follow specific bike safety rules (like not making hand signals, not reading traffic signs, not riding with traffic, riding double, or riding on the sidewalk). One by one, each of the friends makes a mistake and suffers an interesting fate. In the end only one of the friends (who not only followed all the bike safety rules, but is also a normal human, whose face is not shown until the very end) makes it to the park and eats all the food by himself. Thus, as the title says, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "One got fat!"]]. It can be viewed [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUYmUxZ0ksA here]]. Also available as a ''Podcast/RiffTrax'' [[RiffTraxShorts VOD short.]]
