Frequently, when a couple is introduced, you'll notice a considerable difference in their figures. The man will often be slender or trim; scrawny, even; while the woman is more likely to, well, have a little more to love. This trope can be implemented for a variety of different reasons. In some cases, it could be to allow the wife to have a more imposing presence, while making her husband appear more demure and submissive in comparison. By the same token, an artist may purposely draw the wife with soft, rounded features in order to convey warmth and hospitality, rather than dominance (the husband, by contrast, will have sharper, more angular features). Note that the couples who fit this trope do not necessarily have to be parents, but the wives and husbands who do will typically have traditional maternal and paternal traits, respectively. While most inversions of this trope fall under Ugly Guy, Hot Wife (since we tend to see fatness as unattractive), the trope itself is not generally used to make the wife look ugly. May overlap with Tiny Guy, Huge Girl (though that usually refers to a different kind of "hugeness"). Sort of the parental version of Fat and Skinny. |

In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Mrs. Claus is chubby while Santa Claus apparently loses most of his weight during the year. She's pretty aggressive, mostly in trying to get him to fatten up. ("Whoever heard of a skinny Santa?! Eat! Eat!") | |

In Harry Potter Molly was frequently described as a short, plump, kindly-looking woman, whom Harry was shocked to see that she could so easily look "like a sabre-tooth tiger" when she was angry with her sons. She was also described as "porky," by Draco Malfoy, in the course of his typical taunts about the Weasley family, and "dumpy" by Vernon Dursley, despite the fact that he and his son were much larger than the slightly plump Molly. Her husband Arthur Weasley possessed the tall, thin build inherited by his sons Ron, Percy, and Bill. Arthur was less strict than his wife, and his children usually thought he was funny - though when he did get angry it was noted as being all the more startling for being unexpected. (Applies less so in the movies, though, as the movies' Arthur Weasley is still taller than Molly but is fairly pudgy himself.) | |

Discworld: Sam Vimes is described as being kind of wiry and somewhere about average height at most due to growing up poor and undernourished. His wife, Lady Sybil, is a woman whose motions are usually described using tectonic metaphors, and is more than once compared to a valkyrie of the Wagnerian variety. While the other characters tend to be intimidated by her imposing presence, the book describes her as kindhearted and compassionate. She also abides by most traditional maternal roles, though she does so out of duty and obligation, rather than necessity. Unseen Academicals gives us Glenda and Nutt. Nutt appears very skinny (but he's an orc and stronger than he looks) while Glenda is plump and matronly. Unlike Sybil, Glenda is also quite short, though. |

Old Man Nebbercracker, who lives in the Monster House, is lean and wrinkly, befitting a man his age. His wife, Constance, however, is so corpulent that she used to be kept in a cage on display as a circus freak. The ongoing torment and ridicule by the circus patrons has made Constance viciously antisocial. Nebbercracker's cantankerousness is his way of shielding the neighborhood children from his wife's murderous malevolence. | |

The Pretenders: Many married couples in the Filipino aristocracy fit this—for instance, lean Don Manuel Villa and fat Mrs Villa, or tall Ben de Jesus and his pudgy wife Nena. Usually this results from having several children all in succession. Explicitly inverted with Tony Samson's sister Betty, who remains lean but muscular despite three kids, and whose husband Bert is more heavily built. Also tragically averted with Tony Samson and Carmen Villa, the latter who wastes away after he dies by suicide. |

The Cleveland Show Inverted with Cleveland and Donna Brown. Played straight with Lester and Kendra Krinklesac. While Lester has a rather weedy physique, Kendra's years of compulsive eating have rendered her so morbidly obese that she needs a Rascal scooter to get around. Due to her debilitating obesity, Lester has to take up the responsibility of being the primary breadwinner and caretaker of the household. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: It features a younger version of this. Lord Roose Bolton is a bit of a Medieval health nut, leeching himself constantly and drinking hippocras rather than wine. When he was given his pick of women to marry from the House Frey, he was offered his bride's weight in silver for her dowry. Upon hearing this, Roose purposely chose Walda (called Fat Walda to distinguish her from all the other Waldas in the family), the fattest one. By the fifth book, she's pregnant with his child. Played straight with Genna Lannister and Emmon Frey, Tywin Lannister's sister and brother-in-law. This fits with her domineering nature compared to her thin, weak-willed husband. |

Muriel and Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog. In this case, the contrast is definitely used to convey softness and roughness, respectively; the plump-figured Muriel is defined by her warmth and motherly instinct, while the stick-like Eustace is a hot tempered curmudgeon who only smiles when he wants to laugh at someone else's pain. Considering the way Eustace's mother treated him, his behavior isn't all that surprising. | |

In most productions of Hairspray (as well as in the original John Waters film), Tracy's parents, Edna and Wilbur Turnblad, are cast to fit this trope. This is partially done to visually establish a bond between Edna and Tracy. Part of the reason why Edna is initially reluctant to let Tracy audition for Corny Collins is her fear that Tracy will be ostracized because of her weight (and she, as a plus- sized woman herself, should know exactly what it's like). Wilbur, on the other hand, plays a relatively minimal role in the plot, so directors usually have no problem casting him as a smaller, more slender man. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has the couple that runs Sugarcube Corner, Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Mrs. Cake isn't exactly large, but she's considerably more pudgy than her husband (and slightly chubbier than the standard female pony mold). From their few appearances in the show, we can tell that both of the Cakes tend to be even-tempered and sweet, but Mrs. Cake in particular is defined by her affectionate nature, addressing nearly everyone she knows as "Dearie". | |

The Master of Disguise has Pistachio's parents, Fabbrizio and Mama Canoli. In this case, Mama Canoli's girth is used to convey motherly love, particularly a fixation with feeding her son. In fact, just before she gets kidnapped, we see her making a canoli for Pistachio. | |

The White Company: Sir Nigel Loring is (to the surprise of many who know his fearsome reputation) a small, frail-looking and balding man, and his wife, Lady Maude, is a large, stocky and forbidding woman. Under no circumstances should anyone comment on the disparity, Sir Nigel can and will see it as a insult to her and demand reparation. | |

In South Park, Kyle's parents, Gerald and Sheila Broflovski. In earlier seasons, Sheila's size was used to convey dominance and aggression (earning her the 'Big Fat Bitch' moniker), but as the series went on, that aspect of her character seemed to fade away. She's still quite protective of Kyle, but her Mama Bear tendencies have been downplayed considerably. After The Movie, the writers made a special effort to show her warmer, more affectionate side. Gerald, on the other hand, has consistently been portrayed as a bit of a Jerkass (though no more so than most of the other South Park residents). | |
