* ''VideoGame/DinosaursForHire'' have you playing as three dinosaurs, a T-Rex, a Triceratops, and a Stegasaurus, the latter being the chubbiest of the trio. After completing a stage, the Stegosaurus will perform a victory pose by sucking in his belly to turn his torso into abs, before he suddenly gives way and turning it back to a tubby stomach.

* [[FormerlyFit Peter B. Parker]] in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' post his mid-life crisis ended up getting a huge gut thanks to all the ComfortFood he is addicted to, but when he wears his suit, he looks as muscular as any other Franchise/SpiderMan would. To be fair, he only has a [[HollywoodPudgy a bit of a gut]] and his rest of the body is quite muscular, unlike [[Film/AvengersEndgame Thor]], and a little amount of gut [[TruthInTelevision can be sucked in]] if the muscle mass is still underneath and look fit.

A fairly common trope in animated works, this happens when a plump character tries to make themself look strong and athletic. They'll often do this by grabbing their fat waists and pushing them up, for the illusion of a narrow waist and barrel chest. The fat then drops back down into place for comedic effect -- often accompanied by [[WackySoundEffect the sound of a deep timpani hit]]. If they are [[StoutStrength stout and strong]], FatAndProud, a BigBeautifulMan, a BigBeautifulWoman, or any combination of the above, they might just flex with both their fat and muscles on display.

* The [[PandaingToTheAudience Ursa Circus]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' does this if you pet/feed it enough. It first shows off its muscles, then decides to do a "strongman" pose, making it look comically buff. Then its body fat suddenly sags to the floor, giving it the appearance of a beanbag. The giant bear stands there looking confused for a few seconds.

* This is a common way for fat heel wrestlers to get heat, which is to say a negative reaction, from the fans for the sheer absurdity and arrogance of the flex. Wrestling/JohnTenta was especially noted for doing this.
