Chet Morton is the best friend of The Hardy Boys, and has been described as fat, plump, chubby, stout, heavy-set, etc. He has a huge appetite, and vacillates between types A, B and C as the plot dictates. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Bronk/Tetsuo is protagonist Yuma's best friend. He is much, much fatter than the striking majority of characters in the entire franchise, and about three times the size of his peers, to the point his shirt fails to completely cover his belly. However, his weight is never brought up in the show - he is shown to be an avid skateboarder, a fairly good duelist, and more often than not the Only Sane Man is his Ragtag Band of Misfits friendgroup. | |

Duk Hwa in Lookism manages to be a mix of A and B, being extroverted so he manages to speak his mind in front of others, and even rap. But he knows that the others think of him as gonk and wants to change it somehow, but that he doesn't have enough courage to. He's the best friend of both The Protagonist (who's also fat... every 12 hours) and Ji Ho, a thin weak guy. | |

Tomohiro from A Silent Voice is a combination of all three. He's more energetic and extroverted than Shoya—acting as a foil to his buddy's angsty self-hatred—but he acts weird and awkward around most other people, and has no other friends until Shoya's old frenemies start reappearing. Most of the comic relief in this otherwise heavy series comes from Tomohiro's wackiness. His weight never really gets mentioned, but he's clearly the chubbiest character. | |

In The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Dave is shown to have two different best friends at different times in his life - the first in the prologue from his childhood, the second in the 'present day' - and both of them are fat. Though they barely even count as minor characters, the second turns up long enough. As an added bonus, he is also black. | |

He wants to be normal and is shy around Leslie who he loves. He also can't talk around Leslie. He dislikes being called "tubby" due to the fact he is fat and he goes psycho when he is called this. | |

Wonder Woman has Etta Candy, who was originally introduced as an outgoing prankster and boisterous sidekick during the 1940s. She became more shy in the Silver Age, but was mostly restored an outgoing personality in Wonder Woman (1987), where she is Wonder Woman's best friend and Steve Trevor's new Love Interest, and has come fully back to her boisterous self in Wonder Woman (Rebirth). | |

In the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, Nick Frost's characters play this role to Simon Pegg. None of them fit a type. In Shaun of the Dead, Ed is a boorish idiot and pot-dealing loser who becomes the group's Millstone when zombies attack. In Hot Fuzz, Danny Butterman is a sweet and naive young officer who desperately wants to be Action Hero. In The World's End, Andy is a former party animal turned straight-laced and successful professional who rediscovers his badassness. |

Max's friend PJ from Goof Troop and A Goofy Movie is painfully shy and unassertive, primarily for reasons other than his weight (though as he points out in the second movie, it doesn't help). However, when he's alone with Max or after his Character Development in An Extremely Goofy Movie, he can engage in occasional confident behavior. Though Max is highlit as non-judgmental most of the time, caring is... harder to say—Max Zig-Zags No Sympathy with PJ. | |

Carl Wheezer from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, is generally a straight mixture of a Type C (though not as big of a Cloudcuckoolander as Sheen) and a Type B (which one dominates depends on the episode), but can also be a Type A in occasional situations, generally as part of a facade. | |

Ruprecht, Skippy's best friend in Skippy Dies is a highly eccentric Teen Genius Mad Scientist. He starts off as mainly nerdy and out of touch with social trends, but becomes increasingly obsessed with the speculative and supernatural as the book progresses, and especially after Skippy's death. | |

Ganke is the best friend of the new Ultimate Spider-Man, and he's more intelligent and extroverted than Miles. Though he has some Cloud Cuckoo Lander tendencies, like going to the seedy part of town to buy some collectible Lego and nearly getting killed. |

Howard Weinerman of Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja is this to Randy, being a combo of "Big and Brash" and "Cloud Cuckoolander". However, his build isn't often pointed out; in fact, the one time it looked like they would (when he finds out that Randy didn't think he could climb the rope in gym class), it turns out Randy actually had his "dainty" hands in mind. | |

Samwise Gamgee to Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings, where he's a mix between Types A and B. Gollum even refers to him as the 'stupid fat Hobbit'. More apparent here than in the books because all Hobbits there are generally portly. In the films, however, Sam is the only portly Hobbit in the Fellowship while the rest of them are (somewhat) slender. | |
