When a major actor receives a role that requires obesity, there are two options: go on a high-calorie diet as Robert De Niro did for Raging Bull and The Untouchables (1987) or Vincent D'Onofrio did for Full Metal Jacket, and go through the effort of losing that weight afterward — or just wear a Fat Suit. Sometimes a role requires the character be overweight for just a brief period in a film, and to gain and lose weight in such a rapid time is impossible. Fat Suits are sophisticated three-dimensional prosthetic makeup that go far beyond just putting a pillow under one's shirt. It requires painstaking facial makeup to provide realistic jowls and multiple chins, in addition to the suit, which covers the arms, legs, breasts and belly. Sometimes, a character, who is otherwise supposed to be skinny, athletic, or at least normal-sized, will don a Fat Suit as a plot point, a disguise or just cheap comedy. |

In an episode of the 1960s Batman (1966) The Joker wore a fatsuit to pretend to be the Maharajah of Nimpah. Batman punctured the disguise by poking him in the rear with a Bat-JokerInAFatSuitPoker. (Well, it was really just a letter opener, but you know he has one.) | |

In French sketch-comedy show Vous Les Femmes, Judith Siboni and Olivia Cotê are clothes-shopping together. The visibly slender Judith takes a summer sundress from a rack and asks Olivia for a honest opinion as to whether she'd look fat wearing this. Olivia suggests trying it on. Judith retreats to the changing room. When she comes out, she is visibly about four clothes sizes larger under the new dress.note she is also wearing a fat-suit that makes her look possibly eighty pounds larger with exaggerated stomach and arse. Olivia takes a critical look and says "Yes, it does make your bum look a little bit bigger". | |

Tyra Banks wore a fat suit on her talk show to examine the idea that (surprise!) fat people are treated worse than supermodels. This shows up on one or more Prime Time News Magazine programs, with correspondents being "shocked, SHOCKED" that fat people get less respect than non-fat people. A newsmagazine gossip show put Vanessa Manillo in a fat suit for an experiment after Tyra did it. The suit was a sort of special effect failure, making her look like the Michelin Man, instead of an actual overweight person. |

Jon Stewart once wore one on The Daily Show after coming back from vacation, making it look like he's gained weight over the holidays. He appeared without it for the rest of the episode, claiming a filter had been applied to the camera to make him look normal.

In another episode Lois wears one when Reese has an Imagine Spot of having to take care of her in the future. A third episode featured Hal (Bryan Cranston) wearing one in an Imagine Spot of Lois' where the family had girls instead of boys. In this life, he's put on weight because all of his daughters love baking and will bribe him with sweets to get him to let them get away with stuff. |

Teddie Moore wore some padding as Miss Shields in A Christmas Story. In this case, however, it wasn’t so much that her character was supposed to be overweight, and instead, just to mask the fact that she was eight months pregnant during shooting. | |

In Futurama, the evil Mom has a literal Fat Suit for use in almost all public appearances - it turns her from looking like a tall, incredibly skinny old woman in thigh-high boots, to looking like a stereotypical sweet old Southern matronly grandmother type. Admittedly it isn't used on her face but she still manages the matronly expression most of the time. | |

Dom Joly used them as a recurring gag on Trigger Happy TV, where he and usually another actor would don very obvious fat suits (as in, it's obvious that they aren't actually obese) and do things like cram themselves into packed elevators, block off full descending staircases, and force theater patrons to awkwardly move out of the way so they could cross the entire row... and sit on the opposite end of the aisle. | |

Frasier, when Jane Leeves (who plays Daphne) was pregnant. As part of the Hide Your Pregnancy, the script-writers gave Daphne a storyline where she started over-eating out of insecurity over Niles' highly idealised view of her. As a result Jane Leeves had to wear a fat suit over her pregnant belly until she could be Put on a Bus for maternity leave. In the later episode Freudian Sleep, Leeves wore a ridiculous ballooning, ever-growing fat suit as Daphne dreamt she was getting terminally fat. Also happens when Frasier gains weight after getting fired, and Kelsey Grammer wears a padded stomach. |
