Given her base form is a stereotypically attractive girl, I am pretty sure that joke would always be there even if no-one commented on it.
It's clearly why she was designed the way that she was, so I think it's a pretty inseparable part of the joke unless you go out of your way to make sure her appearance doesn't come across as a joke and that goes against the parody nature.

Er, it really isn't inseperable? If you remove references to her being fat as a joke then she'd become a lot more consistent power wise, as well as removing a noticeable double standard for body weight.
I get that the joke is that she becomes unattractive when transforming, but it isnt particularly funny nor is it actually important other than some jokes at the expense of overweight people.
I guess what I'm saying is make Ribrianne's transformed form stereotypically attractive for a magical girl show or don't mention ot at all since the joke that she's fat harms the execution.
I know why she was designed the way she was, I'm just saying it shouldn't have been like that in the first place.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Too much water gives you water poisoning, too much sun gives you radiation poisoning, too much food gives an eating disorder, too much television can fuck up your eyes, too much loud music can fuck up your ears, too much medicine can give you an addiction..... etc. etc.
So yeah too much of anything is a bad thing.

Having Kakarrot doing that thing Radish did to the Farmer with the Shotgun makes the least amount of sense...

No, one person said, "my god that last easter egg is amazing." And despite combing back through the last page there's no way that sentence connected to the discussion of Ribrianne. If it did, I'll eat my keyboard.
Ohhhh.

The parody should be of how the magical girl genre has cutesy girls with ridiculous destructive power through relatively inane means. This is seen effectively when she does her ultimate love attack, as well as when the three dudes due the black hole version of the attack. Her being fat is merely a joke being tacked on to that parody- seen at it's worst when Vegeta doesn't punch her because of how fat and ugly she is. They don't work well together since they contradict each other on how seriously you're supposed to take Magical Girls as an opppnent (where the former is 'you need to take this silly concept seriously' and the latter is 'this silly concept is made sillier')
