Fat Comic Relief | comment |
It seems that whenever there's a gang of lead characters in comedies, children's media, and sitcoms, there's always one person that's fatter than the rest of the cast. Usually male, and they'll almost always be the Butt-Monkey/Chew Toy/Plucky Comic Relief - often, though not always, through their Big Eater and/or Gasshole tendencies. When the Fat Comic Relief is of the Big Eater variety, their comedic scenes often involve food; such as eating all the food meant for everyone else, and/or being Obsessed with Food even in situations where they should instead be focusing on something else at the moment. Gasshole Fat Comic Reliefs tend to be Fat Slobs. If you have both flavors of this trope together, this character is very likely to often be Too Hungry to Be Polite. Keep in mind that just because a character is both fat and a Butt-Monkey, that does not mean they apply for this trope. Butt Monkeys can be played straight or for sympathy, in which case they are not seen as Acceptable Targets, and so do not qualify. Additionally, their status as a Plucky Comic Relief or Butt-Monkey must be related in some way to their fatness. For example, a Butt-Monkey who is picked on because he is fat would qualify (if Played for Laughs), but a Butt-Monkey who is picked on for some unrelated reason (such as for being a nerd) without consideration for their weight would not. Sister Trope to Fat Idiot. This character is often the Fat Best Friend. You'll often find these kids gobbling up the ammo of a Food Fight. If the series takes place in school, expect them to be the most frequent target of The Bully. See also Big Fun. |

Chet Morton from The Hardy Boys books is regularly described as fat and is a comic relief character. He's a clumsy Big Eater and his Fleeting Passionate Hobbies serve as a Running Gag. | |

Kuchipatchi from Tamagotchi is a downplayed example; he's not much bigger than his friends and is generally considered a healthy character to raise on the virtual pets, but his "Big Eater who is Obsessed with Food" personality and his role in the show tend to make him into this. | |

Lampshaded in the Duck Dodgers episode "The Mark of Xero", a Zorro parody: When the Sergeant Garcia counterpart correctly works out that Dodgers is the secret identity of El Xero, the Commandante says to Dodgers "Pay no attention to Sergeant Vasquez.

Gimme a Break!: The show was not afraid to indulge in weight humor. For instance, when an elevator stalls with Nell's Overeaters Anonymous group, she checks the elevator's weight limit (1200 points), counts how many of the group are in it, and says, "Oh, we're a few hundred pounds past that!" The show, however, made sure the humor was laughing with Nell and others, and not at them. | |

Power Rangers: This trope usually appears in villainous groups. Whenever there is a fat villain, or at least chunky, you can expect him to be the comic relief of the season. Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is the fat one of the Fat and Skinny comic relief duo, with the skinny one being Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch. They were a duo of selfish, but ineffectual bullies, with Bulk being the one coming up with most of their schemes. One the villains in Power Rangers Time Force is Gluto. Gluto is a fat humanoid whale creature, who's only purpose is to provide comic relief on the villains' side.

Getter Robo's Musashi popularised this trope within the Super Robot Genre. Initially he's so comical that his teammates have trouble taking him seriously, though after his incredible sturdiness comes to light he quickly establishes himself as a Big Fun and The Heart of the team. In addition, his wackiness sometimes lets him defeat powerful enemies through confusing or insane tactics. His successor Benkei is also fat, but treated somewhat more seriously. | |

Barry Wheeler from Alan Wake. He's the heaviest character in the game and has the greatest tendency to do wacky things, like talk to a cardboard cutout of Alan or cover himself in Christmas lights to ward off the Taken. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Hayato/Chumley's main schtick in the dub is talking about food, particularly cheese sandwiches. This wasn't as prominent in the original, but the dub ran with it to the point he wouldn't spend one sentence without mentioning food. | |

Big the Cat from Sonic the Hedgehog has been used as a Funny Background Event in some games. Although this has less to do with him being fat and more to do with him being The Scrappy and the developers enjoying trolling people by adding the much-hated character in the background of games. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes In The 31st Century: Subverted with Bouncing Boy, who is treated as Plucky Comic Relief but rarely is his weight ever used for jokes. Played straight with Lightning Lad in the third issue when he switches powers with Bouncing Boy. Bouncing Boy finds it hilarious that "fathead's fat" and Saturn Girl (who gains Superman's Kryptonian powers and strength) acknowledges her new muscles with "I'm ripped! And so is Lightning Lad's underwear." The issue ends with him unhappily learning he'll be stuck this way longer than the other Legionnaires because the virus which swapped their powers lasts longer on "beings with greater weight and mass." |

Asterix: Obelix and chief Vitalstatistix certainly fall into this trope. Obelix is dimwitted, naïve and often does stupid things because he underestimates his own strength. Vitalstatistix is pompous and a bit brighter than Obelix, though often gets carried away by his big mouth and as a result blunders a lot too. Though it can be argued that at least Obelix, despite his shortcomings, has a certain charm and innocence that made him very popular with readers, both young and old. | |

Looney Tunes: While not traditionally fat like a pig (albeit somewhat chubby), Porky Pig is billed under the name Comedy Relief in the two cartoons with Daffy Duck as a Western-type hero. Lampshaded in the Duck Dodgers episode "The Mark of Xero", a Zorro parody: When the Sergeant Garcia counterpart correctly works out that Dodgers is the secret identity of El Xero, the Commandante says to Dodgers "Pay no attention to Sergeant Vasquez. He is fat." And then the two of them laugh at an irritated Vasquez for no reason. |

Family Guy: Stewie at one point had a "job" which consisted of following fat guys around while playing a tuba. The fat guys would pay him to go away. The trope itself is inverted within the Griffin family - Lois is the only thin member (except for Stewie), and thus the Only Sane Man (at first, anyway). Out of all of them, Meg gets her Butt-Monkey status the most. |

The Hobbit has Bombur, the practically circular dwarf. He is the subject of much fun-poking, particularly when he falls into an enchanted sleep and the company has to carry his enormous girth for an extended period. But though Tolkien made Bombur's rotundity the subject of fun, he didn't make Bombur stupid or inept. He is as bold and skilled a warrior as his fellow dwarves. In The Fellowship of the Ring we find out he's gotten even larger and could only move with the help of six younger dwarves. |
