* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': A variation in “Pickles”: when the hefty customer Bubble Bass steps up to the counter, Squidward sarcastically remarks “Let me guess: a small salad.”

* In ''Franchise/TheMuppetShow'' (yes, there was a newspaper comic), Kermit takes Miss Piggy out to a restaurant. Miss Piggy's order gets larger and larger throughout the strip, until in the penultimate panel she states "I want it ALL!!!" The last panel has her saying to the rattled waiter "Oh, and a diet cola."

-->'''Twitch''': "Your usual dozen Sir?"
-->'''Sam''' "Half that, you know I'm on a diet."

* ''Series/TheCloser'' has an obese victim in the episode "Junk in the Trunk" who had a last meal that consists of four triple burgers with Extra Cheese, six orders of fries, and a diet coke.

-->'''Lrrr:''' Very well, you provide us with 198 billion humans. And an order of fries.\\

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': In “The Baseball Game,” Penny’s mom’s [[BigEater eating binge]] is capped by a request for a diet soda.

* Music/{{Psychostick}}'s Do You Want A Taco

* ''Series/KennyVsSpenny'': In the episode ''Who Can be Obese the Longest'' Kenny puts himself in fat prosthetic makeup as a part of faking an extra 80 pounds of weight. He makes a lot of gags for the audience. He eats bread being fed to pigeons, he hits on an ice-cream vendor, and he orders (at a drive-thru on a moped) a meal of several deluxe burgers...

* In the ''[[LetsPlay/TacoMan Taco-Man Plays a Video Game]]'' review of ''VideoGame/CaptainNovolin'', Taco-Man claims to have learned that everyone should try to eat healthy, and avoid sugary snacks. [[spoiler:Later, he visits a fast food restaurant, and orders a double cheeseburger, some cheese fries, a soda with cheese...and a glass of milk, after ceaseless recommendations from one of Captain Novolin's doctors.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'', Cyborg does this at an entirely meat based restaurant. He orders multiple ''combo meals'' in rapid succession, then stops and asks for a diet soda. But when told they do not have soda (only meat), he simply asks for a cup of meat juice. Being part cyborg as well as in shape makes this lesser than most examples.

* Done in ''Film/ACinderellaStory'' when a minor character named Chuck orders a lot of unhealthy breakfast foods and tops off the order with a diet Coke, claiming to his server Rhonda that he is trying to watch his weight.

This is a standard comedic effect used in various media to emphasize the overindulgence that came before. In various talk shows that featured exceptionally obese people, they would often show a fast food customer ordering an exceptionally large meal including multiple sandwiches, fries and desserts, and concluding with, "and a Diet Coke."
