Hollywood Pudgy	comment	Many people in real life have body image issues that lead them to obsess about food and dieting, and to think of themselves as fat even if they're not. Like Hollywood Homely characters, if you took the Hollywood Pudgy character out of her movie and plunked her down among a representative sample of real women, she'd fit in because she looks normal, even good in comparison. As an average-sized person, the Hollywood Pudgy character is or appears to be overweight by medical standards but not nearly obese. She'd have no trouble fitting through bus turnstiles or into a cute bathing suit, and wouldn't have her doctor telling her she must lose twenty pounds for the sake of her heart and pancreas. This does not apply to stories in which a skinny woman thinks of herself as fat, but is shown to have an eating disorder or body image problem. That would probably fall under I Am Not Pretty instead. Satirical examples hang a lantern on the absurdity of calling thin women fat. The same thing applies somewhat to men as well, albeit to a lesser degree. For example, any time a male celeb known for being Mr. Fanservice goes from a sculpted physique to a more average body type, the media will rant about his "dadbod" and how he "let himself go," and may speculate on his mental health, even if he's nowhere near overweight and might even be happier not having to maintain an impossible image. However, you're less likely to see this trope applied to men onscreen, since Hollywood is far more likely to cast an appropriate actor to play an overweight male character thanks to age-old Double Standards. Older works and period pieces tend to contain this a lot. Since actual obesity was relatively uncommon until the last quarter of the 20th century, a person who was only twenty or thirty pounds overweight back then would have been seen as the equivalent of a modern person weighing 400 pounds. Compare Hollywood Homely, Unkempt Beauty, Muscle Angst, and Big Beautiful Woman. Contrast Informed Attractiveness, Real Women Have Curves, and of course Hollywood Thin. Hollywood Beauty Standards are the reason this trope exists. Note: Under the examples, PLEASE only include those who are explicitly identified as overweight despite not actually being overweight! This is NOT the page for actors of normal body type playing characters of normal body type, nor for genuinely fat actors playing genuinely fat characters. Anything that is drawn or animated is also extremely unlikely to qualify (Garfield, for example, doesn't even look like a cat), unless the depiction is intended to be realistic or the trope itself is being parodied. If the only time the character's said or implied to be fat is when another character is tossing out insults, it probably belongs under You Are Fat instead of this trope. Also in real life when singers and band members prepare to go on tour, it is very common for them to overindulge and voluntarily take on weight. If the show is of any quality (especially for pop, rock and metal type bands and singers), they will likely lose it right back before they get back home. Of course this is paparazzi fuel. noreallife

Hollywood Pudgy / int_114401d2	comment	In Pretty Little Liars, Hanna is supposed to have been fat a year before. But in the flashbacks early in the show... she's played by the same actress wearing frumpy and baggy◊ clothing. As the show progressed, the costumers and makeup artists got much better about depicting Hanna as having been fat in the flashbacks, but even then, she still looks like a fairly average-figured girl with unfortunately sized clothing◊ and what looks to be a pillow stuffed down her shirt.

It got even worse when Brie noted how much of a Big Eater her sister was and got paranoid about an upcoming photoshoot. She attempted to get her sister to do a ridiculous magazine cleanse - having nothing but juice for 20 days - and calling her fat thinking "tough love" would motivate her sister. Instead she gave a Moment of Awesome speech on how the two of them both look fine and don't need to put their bodies through so much hell for the sake of 3 or 4 pounds.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_16aa3232	comment	Desperate Housewives: In season 5, a great deal is made of Gaby becoming "fat and frumpy" after losing her wealth and giving birth to two children. The costume department nailed the "frumpy" part, but even with an unflattering wardrobe (and light padding), it was painfully obvious that Eva Longoria was no heavier◊ than in the previous seasons. Another episode featured a number of "What If?" sequences, including one where Susan gains weight due to comfort eating (for which Teri Hatcher wore a Fat Suit). A number of writers commented that Teri actually looked better with a realistic middle-aged "softness" than as her usual Hollywood Thin self.

Hollyhock's got a bit of a girth, but considering her type of body, it's barely noticeable. Doesn't stop her from becoming self-conscious about it among all the skinny Hollywoo girls. Nor did it stop Beatrice from secretly slipping her some weight-loss pills. By the end of the season the pills have resulted in her visibly losing weight and her clothes not fitting properly along with eventual amphetamine addiction. Little Beatrice is said to be overweight by both her father and her bully, but due to Generic Cuteness and the fact that said father and said bully are established to have unreasonably high standards when it comes to feminine beauty anyway, she doesn't look like it.

While he is quite a Big Eater, they almost always make him out as morbidly obese. It's also made clear that much of his bulk is also muscle and he could snap most people in half if he wanted (which is also true of his actor, former Navy man James Avery). Also, when Will's Girl of the Week is played by Queen Latifah. Although he hits it off with her and clearly enjoys being with her, he can't get over his hang-ups about her weight. While she's certainly zaftig, she's not obese or even overweight and completely undeserving of the nasty comments leveled at her by several of Will's friends — "I bet she's tons of fun.", "Two pizzas? Okay, we have your date's order, what about you?"

Under main artist Adrian Alphona's pen, Gert actually is fairly chubby, but other artists tend to draw her as just having slightly more hips and waist than Nico or Karolina, and even Alphona drew her that way to start with. Here, it may not be so much a case of warped values as it is comic artists just not being used to drawing women with that sort of body. Also, Marvel's official stats list her at 5'1'' and 125 pounds. The Alphona version, if she was 5'1", would probably be at least 140. Likewise, in the Hulu adaptation, while the actress playing Gert is certainly curvier than the other actresses, she's not actually all that big.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_24ffd341	comment	Played with in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dee's mother constantly insinuates that Dee is fat, even though Kaitlin Olson is quite lanky and slender. Her mother, however, is a horrible person. The gang have fat (and skinny) shamed her several times too, but they (along with Dee herself) are also just as awful. In "The Gang Exploits a Miracle", Dee insinuates that the vain and athletic Dennis is putting on weight after he asks her if his face looks fat after seeing himself on TV. He freaks out and begins starving himself. When he seems close to death, she finally admits that she was just messing with him, because he's a horrible person and because before he told her that her face looked blotchy. Invoked in "Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead" where the guys are trying to find more friends and at one point the idea of having a funny fat guy for their group is mentioned. Charlie, who has an average body type, says he always thought of himself as the funny fat friend, but Mac and Dennis say heâ€™s neither fat nor funny. Played straight with Charlie a couple episodes prior: He claims to be in good shape, and Dee snarks back that it's only true if he's a short fat person, not an actor. When Charlie gets offended at the latter she backtracks to say husky, then chunky, further offending him. The trope was later famously inverted by Rob McElhenney, who, prior to the seventh season of the show, deliberately gained fifty pounds of fat (though he did also exercise to generally bulk up his body) to combat the trend of actors generally getting into better shape as their shows become more successful (as they're able to afford things like personal trainers with their higher salaries). Within the season, Rob's character Mac thinks of himself as a now-muscular bodybuilder who's considerably beefed up...but he's really just plain fat.

At 6'0" and 239 lbs., he is obese, but not morbidly sonote morbid obesity starts at a BMI of 35, which for the 6'0" Homer would be 258 pounds. as he has even described himself. A couple noteworthy examples come from the episode "Brush with Greatness," where the B-plot focuses on Homer's weight. At the start of the episode he weighs 260 lbs., which would put him just above the morbidly obese line. However, this is even taken to an extreme as Homer ends up clogging an enclosed tube in a water slide and a man says the clog is "too big to be human." Near the end of the episode, Homer reaches his 239 lb. weight, and it's then that Mr. Burns says Homer is "the fattest thing I've ever seen, and I've been on safari." A very straight example is in the episode "Sleeping with the Enemy". The B-plot has some of the girls of Springfield Elementary start making fun of Lisa for having a big butt, making Lisa become anorexic at the age of eight. Her body type is nigh-identical to most of the other kids.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_2b03409f	comment	Dancing with the Stars pros Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer◊ have been called overweight by fans. Granted that they might be a bit heavy by the standards of professional dancers by any other standards they're both knockouts. Plus, since, as working dancers, they're in a constant state of exercise it's more likely that their "overweight" is a case of heavy bone structure and/or being (for dancers) overmuscled. By the standards of the ballroom/Latin world, which is less fixated on a hyper-thin look than ballet (especially Latin and American Rhythm, where if you don't have curves, your costumes add them for you), neither is notably heavy at all. By television standards, they fit this trope to a tee — many professional ballroom dancers, despite being insanely fit, would be considered the "pudgy best friend" type at best in Hollywood.

Even before she started weight lifting and developing a more muscular physique (which was preceded by years of her stressing about being thin enough), she received a "you look pregnant" chant from a crowd. She later said in an interview that at a WWE tryout, she was told that by wrestling standards, she was overweight and should either lose weight to fit the 'Diva Look' or gain more to become a Wrestling Monster.

In George PÃ©rez's reboot, she started overweight, but then worked out and had a military muscular frame. In Gail Simone's run, the artists usually just had her looking slightly thicker than Diana, but otherwise being an average, curvy blonde woman (the change from her old self was eventually explained as being from her government training). The New 52 reboot bypassed this, as that Etta was more conventionally slender and nobody ever commented about her weight. That got some criticism from some fans (similar to the protests about the New 52 Amanda Waller being slimmed down and youthened to become a generic sexpot) and the Rebirth Etta went back to being moderately heavy.

Though during interviews at the time, she claimed to enjoy being heavier, she lost the weight as soon as filming was done and when it came time to film a sequel, she refused to gain weight until the studio literally paid her for every extra pound she put on.

Carla and J.D. taunt Him for it and he asks Dr. Cox for fitness advice. It ends with Turk resolving not to worry about his weight, since he would rather spend his free time with his loved ones than at the gym (and Carla agrees). Irritatingly, however, Turk is later described by Cox as having been "a fat load", which Turk seems to agree with, even though his appearance has barely changed in the four years between episodes. Elliot's mother would often tease her about supposedly getting fat even though Dr. Cox and Jordan have made it abundantly clear that if anything, she's actually underweight. It is established however, that her mother is a very horrible person, and may also explain why, for years, Elliot was such a neurotic mess.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_3fe0a130	comment	Ugly Betty, as the title implies, featured America Ferrera as the titular "ugly" character who, in addition to braces and frumpy clothing, was often derided as fat by the fashion magazine she worked for. There's a bit of Truth in Television to this, as in the fashion industry, "fat" = "having natural boobs and hips/being bigger than a size four." In real life, America Ferrera was at most a size 10, and thinner now, but you still get people on the IMDB boards calling her a bad role model for being obese. Of course, this is IMDb we're talking about here; most of the people on those boards live under bridges. Ugly Betty also had a woman everyone called "Fat Carol" who really wasn't, which was the whole point of the joke. For Hypocritical Humor, Amanda commonly jokes about how much Betty eats while chowing down on anything she sees. Ironically, in the original Yo soy Betty, la fea one of the points about the ugliness of Betty is that she is thin as a toothpick, and in an attempt to disguise that she ends wearing clothes better suited for her heavier mom. But then, they had the Big Eater gossip hen Bertha, who was genuinely overweight (about US size 18, and when the actress - and her character - got pregnant, even bigger) but received a far less amount of fat jokes than a character of that type would receive, and all the remarks she got were from the vainest evil characters.

It was a little more understandable in the earlier comics, when the strip was drawn more "realistically" (i.e., Garfield walked on four legs, everyone's proportions were generally more accurate, etc.); in those cases, Jim Davis would give Jon a slightly pudgier belly to justify his complaints (although he never reached fat, or even overweight, by any stretch of the imagination). But as time went on, Jon looked more and more like a noodle person, so the self-criticism makes no sense.

Since Wrath of the Lich King went live, and some time before, female humans and female dwarves have gained a decent number of defenders lashing back at the people who insist that any model thicker than draenei and the elves are oxen. Female orcs and tauren do have some defenders but they're notably fewer, the fact that female orcs are all muscle with maybe .1% body fat being gleefully pointed out at every opportunity. The Dwarf example is odd in that it's frequently referenced in-game that the Dwarven standard of beauty is for stout women, and compared to the men the model is very skinny. Parodied by the Pandarens. One of the female jokes mention they could stand to gain a few pounds, and one of the male jokes is a condolence since you look like you've lost weight; "That's terrible!

She enjoys eating what she wants and not exercising, until sees his ex, who's considerably overweight (although well dressed and groomed), and realizes the man is fattening her up. He then tries to convince her to gain weight for him ("Come on, fifty pounds and I'll buy the stretch pants!"). She points out that trying to make a person change to be fatter is just as negatively critical and psychologically detrimental as trying to force the person to be thin.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_4f1f3628	comment	Parodied on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody when London and Maddie were led to believe by a rude friend of the former that they were too fat and too thin respectively. Brenda Song and Ashley Tisdale were quite thin at the time, but not dangerously so; London could have endangered her health with a crash diet and compulsive exercise, while Maddie had no reason to binge and could have set herself on the path to obesity. Moseby tried to talk some sense into them, telling them what anyone who isn't brainwashed by this trope (and its inverse) already knew: they're both gorgeous and don't need other people to tell them what to look like; it doesnâ€™t sink in until a certain amount of time later, where London is on the verge of passing out from lack of food, and Maddie is so bloated from constantly gorging that she canâ€™t fit in her dress (with no actual prosthetics to show any such weight gain).

Like Jessica, her build is usually indistinguishable from 99 percent of the other superheroines published by Marvel and DC. The source of the joke may be Carol's bottom, which is canonically large. It's also a likely a result of her original costume, which many artists use to highlight her curves.

She panics at the thought of being seen in a swimsuit and decides to lose weight by skipping all of her meals and overexercising at the gym, to the point of nearly passing out. Candace Cameron did have a somewhat round face as a preteen, which is to be expected before going through puberty, but she was definitely not fat, or even overweight, by any standard. It's somewhat lampshaded in-universe, with her family pointing out that she doesn't need to lose weight and that her friends like her because she's a kind, nice person, not for her size.

Jenna Maroney (played by the slender Jane Krakowski) plays the lead in a musical stage adaptation of Mystic Pizza over the summer, which requires her to eat thirty-two pieces of pizza a week. When she returns to television, she's gained weight in her stomach (and only her stomach—everything else looks exactly the same). Though she's heavier than before, she still looks gorgeous, but everyone treats her as though she's become monstrously obese. When she covers for a mistake in an sketch by shouting "ME WANT FOOD!," she's quickly turned into a caricature, with the writers giving her nothing but "fat woman" roles to play and NBC making T-shirts emblazoned with her new catchphrase. Eventually, Jenna embraces her Big Beautiful Woman status, but only because it's making people pay more attention to her. She eventually loses the weight when Jack lampshades this trope, remarking, "She either needs to lose thirty pounds or gain sixty. There's no room for anything in between on television."

Elaine's supposed "weight gain" in that episode is not even made to be in the least bit noticeable. However, Elaine alludes to an incident where she supposedly sat on a chair and it broke due to her weight. Unless the chair was made of balsa wood, such a scenario would be have been highly unlikely.

She apparently had to gain about seventeen pounds for the role (as did co-star Penelope Cruz) but it doesn't quite have the same effect.

For the males, body type #4 is noticeably bigger than the others, but the female model appears barely plus-sized at first glance (and even then only in relation to the other body types), and a closer look reveals that it's just the boobs and butt that are bigger and the face is slightly rounder - the waist is still quite slim. Even the male model, while having a gut and rounded face, is more huge in general than fat; without a shirt he's so heavily muscled he looks like he could break the "muscular" model in half.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Not an in-game example, but Mario will often be depicted as either "portly" or "chubby", although his current design has shown that he's slimmed down considerately over the years. If Super Mario Odyssey or Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is anything to go by, when shirtless, he lacks a noticeable gut, he just appears round by design. While he was visibly chubbier in some of the older games, older artworks and in the cartoons (as he was originally designed to be a plump shape by Shigeru Miyamoto to make him appear better on-screen with the 80's hardware) in the newer games and renders, he seems to have a decent physical appearance of average weight and size and if anything, is only slightly pudgy at best rather than overweight. Now Wario, on the other hand... In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle The Phantom of Bwahpera, a boss who sings a degrading opera about Mario, mentions Mario's weight by stating how is Mario able to "slither down pipes, despite his plumb-shaped body type". Although Mario's not even that fat to begin with, especially considering the Phantom's own corpulent appearance. Heck, compared to someone like Waluigi, who is horrifyingly slender (and probably the skinniest humanoid male character in the entire cast), even Luigi would look chubby standing next to him. Speaking of Luigi, it would more of an inversion; in the games he's often considered "skinny" by many characters although he looks to be about the same weight as Mario, he's just taller. Princess Daisy of Sarasaland is sometimes considered "fat" or "chubby" among the fandom, especially in comparison to Peach or Rosalina, where she'll be the "chubby girl" of the group (most fanart usually depicts her this way), although she really isn't and looks to be in good shape. Because she is shorter in stature and has a rounder face than the other two princesses, who are taller and have a more oval-shaped face, Daisy probably looks more thicker compared to them, but she certainly isn't fat as some people make her out to be. Some go as far as to say she has a noticeable potbelly,◊ although she really doesn't. If anything, she's just curvy and has slightly bigger hips. Rosalina herself gets this by the fandom, due to being in the heavyweight class in Mario Kart (although the weight class has nothing to do with body weight at all). Even considering her weight, her being heavy has to mainly do with her being a tall space amazon goddess. In many of the RPGs, characters will tease Bowser for being "tubby" or "overgrown" and while Bowser is large in size, he isn't particularly fat.

The actress is not even slightly pudgy. No double chin, nothing but looser, less-flattering clothes than the other Pink Ladies and continuous mentions of her fat in the script.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_858624ba	comment	Will & Grace: There's more than one episode in which Jack taunts Will for being a "fattie" or some similar disparagement. This is Eric McCormack we're talking about, here! Justified in that Jack is a neurotic Gym Bunny (who's so weight-conscious that he wears a girdle under his clothes) and he's the only one who says this about Will.note It's also implied that deep down, Jack had feelings for Will. Occasionally, Karen made similar jabs about Grace. In one episode, while decorating her mother's apartment, Karen warned her to "leave plenty of money in the budget for Egg McMuffins, 'cuz Heavy G like tah eat!" These, along with the jokes about Will, were usually played for Values Dissonance, since it was painfully clear that neither Eric McCormack nor Debra Messing were overweight at all, and in fact Karen herself was rather voluptuous (and Messing was extremely thin: her flat-chestedness was a running gag, and one of her onscreen boyfriends described her as "awfully skinny", asking "don't you want to look a little...fatter?"). This became clear when several critics mentioned that the fat jokes leveled at Grace weren't funny anymore when Messing was pregnant. Another unfortunate case from the series is Karen's cousin Barry, who receives a makeover from Will and Jack in Season 5. Pre-makeover, he has an average build and a rather thin face (hidden, respectively, behind baggy clothes and an unkempt beard). To hear Jack and Will talk, however, he's a whale — in fact, we're told they sent Barry to "fat camp" in the time between his first appearance and his second.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_89bf8ce	comment	30 Rock: In one episode, Liz, who is regarded as frumpy in New York, meets a woman in Cleveland who asks her if she's a model and says "You are so skinny! You really should eat something." The first few episodes of season two run this trope through the gamut. Jenna Maroney (played by the slender Jane Krakowski) plays the lead in a musical stage adaptation of Mystic Pizza over the summer, which requires her to eat thirty-two pieces of pizza a week. When she returns to television, she's gained weight in her stomach (and only her stomach—everything else looks exactly the same). Though she's heavier than before, she still looks gorgeous, but everyone treats her as though she's become monstrously obese. When she covers for a mistake in an sketch by shouting "ME WANT FOOD!," she's quickly turned into a caricature, with the writers giving her nothing but "fat woman" roles to play and NBC making T-shirts emblazoned with her new catchphrase. Eventually, Jenna embraces her Big Beautiful Woman status, but only because it's making people pay more attention to her. She eventually loses the weight when Jack lampshades this trope, remarking, "She either needs to lose thirty pounds or gain sixty. There's no room for anything in between on television."

But then we actually see him in his underwear, and it's hard to picture anyone kicking him out of bed. His "weight problem" is a running gag on the show. To some extent, Rachel. In the first season, her character is said to be chubby and is teased by mean girls. In the second season, she herself mentioned she had some "baby fat". Rachel is played by Lea Michele, who has always been skinny. The actress however, did become noticeably skinnier after the first season. Season One vs Season Two. Karofsky, called "chubby" and "Manimal" by Kurt and Artie, is certainly heavier than the rest of the principal guys on the show, but is noticeably slimmer than other members of the football team. Max Adler just seems to be naturally huskier than the other cast members. Besides, he's a lineman, he's supposed to be bulky and that most of that bulk is muscle is shown in the locker room fight with Sam, Mike and Artie. It becomes an "issue of the week" in Season 4, when Mean Girl Kitty taunts Marley about having "the fat gene." Marley's mother is very overweight, but it becomes ridiculous when Kitty starts taking in Marley's stage costumes and Marley develops an eating disorder, despite her other clothes and the scale not changing at all. The actress who plays Marley has visible hip and collar bones. An example in Season 4, episode one, also a pretty cruel subversion. Cassandra July berates her class by telling them "If you don't have body dysmorphic disorder, you don't want (success) badly enough." And then she pulls over a student, calling her "Muffin Top" and tells her "it's rice cakes and ipecac, or cut off a butt cheek, because you need to drop a few." The student is played by an actress with visible collar bones. Amusingly, Muffin Top is actually explicitly credited in the script as "Normal Sized Female Student"

The end of the episode involves everyone telling Topanga she's not fat and Mr. Feeny delivering the aesop about living in a world of unreasonable standards. This episode apparently came into existence because the press flipped out about Danielle Fishel's very slight weight gain during the run of the show (basically, she went from a skinny pre-teen to a curvy adult.) On the other hand, the other characters act as though Topanga was developing an eating disorder when she never did anything more radical than try to stop eating junkfood.

Minako freaked out so much she started doing exercise like mad under Artemis' direction, losing the excess fat... And still weighing a little too much, this time in muscles (Artemis had been trying to train Minako's strength for months, you see). The same couldn't be said for the people of Tokyo, since this was the latest scheme of the Dark Agency. Basically everyone else besides Minako, her friend Hikaru (who has a very healthy diet) and the police officer Wakagi (who hates sweets) had noticeably gotten fatter because of some special chocolates being distributed around Valentine's Day. It reached a point that "fat" was the new in-look even though everyone was going like crazy trying to lose the weight.

She swears to never eat a carb again and gets back to being very thin (i.e. tighter clothes again) by the end of the episode and the {[Nerd}} doesn't dare to hit on her anymore.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_a606596a	comment	Chrono Cross has some bizarre character descriptions in regards to weight. Janice, who is 5 foot 7 inches and 104 lbs. is described as having "plumpish" body build. Her character model is in no way noticeably pudgier than those the game deems "slender". Speaking of which, eight pounds is apparently enough for that difference. On the other end of this skewed spectrum we have Macha, a rotund housekeeper. She is 5 foot 6 inches and 150 lbs. which is about the same height-to-weight ratio as Christina Hendricks, but Macha's character model has wider waist than chest. If you use the Japanese standard for determining "underweight" (a BMI of under 18.5), a third of the human cast are underweight, including nearly two-thirds of the female cast, but this has no correlation to their listed body type. (Trying to determine proper weight ratios for the non-human cast is probably an exercise in futility.)

Lampshaded at one point when GLaDOS calls Wheatley out on calling Chell 'Fatty-Fatty-No-Parents' by saying "Just look at her, you moron. She's not fat." GLaDOS also observes in the co-op mode that for some reason, humans frown on weight variance, and so, if you want to upset a human, you can try telling them that their weight has varied positively or negatively. In an interesting twist on this trope, the game designers said that they actually made Chell's figure slightly more rounded, as if she had put on a few pounds since the previous game.

There's a very good reason: they're boxers below the heavyweight category, thus with very strict limits on what they can weigh in order to compete, and seeing any visible fat on these guys would be taken as a sign of being in sub-optimal shape for the bout-hence Kosaku, who just can't help but eating a lot and tends to have trouble passing the weigh-in, being called a pig, while Matsuzaka, a natural flyweight (between 108 and 114 pounds), was fixated on fighting him and purposefully fattened himself up to reach featherweight category (between 123 and 126 pounds).

Hollywood Pudgy / int_ab15dc9	comment	One story in Pet Shop of Horrors deals with dieting by following three people. The first person is a high school girl who genuinely is overweight because of low self-esteem issues (she overeats when she's upset). The second person is a boxer who needs to keep his weight down so that he can stay in the proper weight class. The third person is a model who is rail skinny as she is but asks the Count to give her a mysterious pill that her fellow model told her about. The model explains that her body is her "calling card" and gaining even a pound could mean losing a lot of expensive clients. Throughout the chapter, the animals are all very distressed and confused at the thought of someone willingly starving themselves as they know what it is like to really be without food. While the first two people get happy endings (the girl loses the weight thanks to self-esteem boosts from a training partner the Count loans her and the boxer makes his weight class), the model becomes violently sick after taking the pill for some time, until her body becomes dried up and breaks open to let an alien version of the model out. It is also revealed that the other model - who told her about the pill to begin with - had the same thing happen to her. The message of the chapter seemed to be that there was more to life than shedding a few pounds, especially since the characters that were dieting for non-selfish reasons actually had happy endings and got more out of it.

Faye occasionally laments her weight, though just as often flaunts her curves. Marigold, on the other hand, suffers from self-image issues of all types. In both cases the body types are portrayed as the line between average and slightly pudgy, and is never considered unattractive. Case in point. One of the stranger examples to object to, as Marigold's lifestyle is clearly unhealthy and, for her level of activity (does nothing but play video games, does not exercise, eats mostly fats and starches) she very clearly is actually overweight where Faye, who is drawn with the same body type but shown to be fairly athletic and active, is not.

He's only moderately overweight by real world standards, but in the show people talk about him as if he were morbidly obese, with all the behaviors that would go with it. The teasing mostly just comes from Tim, but the show also utilizes prop gags at his weight's expense. For example, Tim had invented a reverse laundry chute and sent a pair of Al's boxers up it to Jill, who unfolded them. They would've fit a sumo. Cue the laughtrack.

Tracy is supposed to be a rare female example of Big Fun—she's short and heavyset, but still loves to dance and live life to the fullest. As such, the actress who plays Tracy is supposed to fit that type, and several, including the original Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winkour and the 2007 film version's star Nikki Blonsky—do so. However, some companies will instead choose to put a thin girl in a fat suit as opposed to, you know, doing what the script says; or at worst, Not even doing the fat suit method (As in cast a non-fat/chubby girl for Tracy). This is somewhat inevitable in some High School/local theater productions of the musical.

Raven (portrayed by the curvy Raven Symone) is told she isn't skinny enough to model the clothes she designed for a fashion show. She and the twig-thin model then team up and both wear the outfit on the runway. Also deconstructed when both of them chew out the magazine owner that's sponsoring the show, saying that no one is as skinny as they look on the magazine.

Despite this, she never has trouble attracting male attention. This is finally and thankfully subverted in the newest Nancy Drew series, Nancy Drew: Girl Detective. The closest mention of Bess's weight is the occasional throwaway line referring to a dress flattering her "curvy" figure.

It's said later that it's not so much that she's gotten 'fat', as according to Charlotte she would look great at any size, but that such weight gain is extremely out of character and indicative of some underlying problem. Granted, this felt a little shoehorned to try to avoid being accused of an 'if you aren't thin there's something wrong with you' implication, but at least they tried, if however half-halfheartedly.

In Dragon Gate USA, Trent Baretta insisted Chris Hero would have been headlining WWE with Kings Of Wrestling partner Claudio Castagnoli if he had only eaten a salad. Well, he has a page here. You take a look at Hero why don'tchu? Even if he was taken off of NXT for weight issues, he looked exactly the same as he always did when they let him back on and at the time of his release, which was unrelated. No really, this is Chris Hero◊ "fat". Ironically, there was much less noise when he actually did get pudgy in 2015, possibly because it still didn't stop him wrestling three hours at SMASH to raise money for ALS treatment.

Though Rose gets to subvert that in the episode where the four women engage in an impromptu dance-off, where Rose does a pretty fantastic job dancing topped off by doing a badass split on the floor.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_d7aab7c1	comment	In the fourth episode of the Sailor Moon anime Serena/Usagi is worried that she has gained a little weight. Visually, she hasn't changed at all. Fortunately, in the show, nobody except Usagi notices. The old dub even exaggerated this a step further by having "Serena" freak out about gaining a grand total of...half a pound. The rest of the episode shows Jadeite preying on women with body issues by using machines that make them skinny while sucking out their life energy until they become emaciated (and it is implied that they will die after enough sessions). Strangely, the old dub also attempts to pretend the machines don't work despite the fact that all the victims are visibly skinnier and skeletal. Either way, it's still not enforcing a certain body type, but mocking the obsession with being skinny that leads perfectly attractive women to starve themselves. It's still worth noting that while Usagi/Serena's family doesn't give it much importance, their comments imply that she is indeed "a bit chubby" in their eyes and that she should probably eat less and exercise more (Luna also thinks this way). While they may just mean to encourage her into a more healthy lifestyle (or playfully mock her worries) rather than to have her get thinner, they never clarify this (cue Usagi/Serena crying at hearing them). Sailor Moon Abridged takes this and runs with it, having every character point out how overweight she allegedly is. Naturally, the art hasn't changed a bit; she's every bit as skinny as she is in the actual show. Also happens in the Codename: Sailor V, where Minako in fact gained some weight but was almost unnoticeable. Minako freaked out so much she started doing exercise like mad under Artemis' direction, losing the excess fat... And still weighing a little too much, this time in muscles (Artemis had been trying to train Minako's strength for months, you see). The same couldn't be said for the people of Tokyo, since this was the latest scheme of the Dark Agency. Basically everyone else besides Minako, her friend Hikaru (who has a very healthy diet) and the police officer Wakagi (who hates sweets) had noticeably gotten fatter because of some special chocolates being distributed around Valentine's Day. It reached a point that "fat" was the new in-look even though everyone was going like crazy trying to lose the weight.

Delinda was simply pregnant so it's obvious she'd naturally gain a pregnancy belly, but even in this state she looked surprisingly thin. The lightly-build Danny seemingly had a bit of padding tucked underneath his shirt coupled with a suit jacket that's obviously too tiny even for his build, both of which were completely gone by the next episode. Both characters were suddenly treated as if they were grossly overweight.

Tommy's enhanced appetite starts getting the best of him in "The Wolf Is Out There" and he begins gaining weight, although he simply developed a noticeable belly rather than becoming huge. He manages to lose the weight by the end of the episode through dieting and a Time Skip. The viewers complained that they didn't understand why people were treating Tommy differently, considering he's a football player and they tend to bulk up. Even better, he was bulking up as a wolf-like reaction, since most animals will gain some extra girth during the winter. Not only do humans generally do the same thing (often called holiday weight,) so do football players! Since winter is the off-season for football players, many will lighten their exercise regimen and pad out a little. It's especially bizarre considering that two of the people calling him fat are his football teammates Tim and Travis, who are themselves prime examples of Big Fun and Stout Strength.

It is telling that the only female character who is significantly skinnier than Emp publicly dismisses her complaints as "grenade-fishing for compliments" and privately considers her extremely sexy. This is likely done to highlight the main character's MASSIVE self-esteem issues, aggravated by being around superheroes with perfect comic book figures. It really doesn't help that she has to seriously diet and exercise to keep in shape, while pretty much all of the other female supers are implied to have gotten their figures along with her powers. Especially Sistah Spooky, who's a Big Eater and has an ongoing spell that displaces excess mass to her nearby enemies, and poor Emp is almost certainly at the top of that list. Furthermore, her soap-bubble thin costume is really skintight, and stops working, cutting her off from her superpowers, whenever she hides it, even with a small mantle. As a result, she's basically naked all times, while other heroines are allowed to accessorize and highlight their best assets.

When casting the role, they deliberately cast a thin woman, since a husband calling his thin wife "fat" is funny, while a husband calling his fat wife fat makes you feel sympathy for her. In later seasons, Vivian Vance gained some weight, changing the dynamic. It got so bad that an Urban Legend sprang up claiming that she was contractually obligated to remain 20 pounds overweight. Ironically, she became a star by playing sexy vamps in Cole Porter musicals on Broadway. She was a knockout◊! In one episode, Lucy goes on a crash diet so she can fit into a costume (made for a thin dancer) and sneak into an act of Ricky's show. She loses so much weight that she has to go to the hospital once the show is over. (And it's all played for laughs, of course.)

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f45ab001	comment	Spider-Woman: A throw-away gag during the first New Avengers tenure has Jessica Drew entering The Raft, a high security prison, with a bag of donuts in her hands loudly complaining about how fat she got in the previous months of inactivity, and offering to share her breakfast with whoever is able to provide her with suitable information about an impending breakout. While the villains fall for the trick (loudly asking for Jessica to surrender the donuts in exchange for their full, unbridled cooperation, implying that the usual gruel they're usually served is really foul), Jessica's implied image issues are somewhat lessened by her skintight Hot Librarian tailleur, showing off her usual voluptuous physique, busty but nowhere as fat to need dieting.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f5799bd9	comment	Weirdly invoked by the laws of physics in The Critic. Jay does indeed carry more fat than is probably healthy for his height, and in-universe is often derided as though he were morbidly obese. Where it gets weird is when he's shown breaking the ice in a skating rink by stepping on it in the opening, or breaking through multiple floors of the building where he works. Despite being arguably overweight, he's also very short and can't possibly be much north of 200 lbs.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f655ed11	comment	Frasier: Frasier himself gets this treatment quite often. Many episodes mention him being on a diet and quite a few episodes have characters making fun of Frasier's "fat ass", including a rival radio host and Frasier's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Cam Winston. While Kelsey Grammer is no fitness model, he was, at worst, a few pounds overweight and nowhere near obese.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f6c05e8e	comment	Friends: In one early episode, the gang comments that already Hollywood Homely Chandler has put on weight—Phoebe even mockingly pretends that she can't put her arms around him to give him a hug and Monica spends the episode putting him through Training from Hell to lose weight. In reality, Chandler was played by the thin Matthew Perry and had no weight gain at all. This episode becomes Harsher in Hindsight due to later seasons seeing Matthew Perry's weight genuinely fluctuating due to his rehab battles with addictions that stemmed from an accident he was in that occurred some time after this episode. The "Fat Monica" flashbacks are also an example of this. While Monica is overweight, she clearly isn't as large◊ as the show makes her out to be. (Certainly not enough to "break a porch swing" or "be mistaken for an Alp".) This is partly due to Values Dissonance, as with Monica's fat years being the 80s, she would have been seen as obese. Back then the percentage of obese Americans was just 11%, so while modern viewers see Monica as being just slightly overweight given the current standards, she was genuinely seen as being quite large back then.

If she was 5 pounds overweight she'd have to be 4'7" [137 cm], but she is a bit taller than Ulrich who is 5'1 [156 cm].) Lampshaded by Aelita.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f956ec06	comment	Total Divas references this a few times: "The Fat Twin" has Nikki Bella discovering a fan calling her fat on Instagram, and she spends the episode getting fat-shamed by Brie. Likewise Brie panics before a photoshoot and tries to do a thirty-day juice cleanse - essentially drinking nothing but juice for a month. Nikki has said in interviews that she is naturally much bigger than Brie and had to do daily ab and cardio workouts to match her sister's body type. Eva Marie frets about a photoshoot after being injured for a while, and goes crazy in the gym trying to lose weight. It's revealed that she has massive body image issues.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_f9addebf	comment	In the glory days of You Can't Do That on Television, the show's host, Christine McGlade, and her cohort, Lisa Ruddy, would constantly taunt each other as being "fat." While it can be argued that Lisa was slightly chubby sometimes, Christine can hardly have been described as having a weight problem. However, given that Christine was much older than the rest of the cast but being passed off as the same age, "she's heavier" made sense to a lot of the child audience for why she looked different from the other kids.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_fb2fe753	comment	In 2012, Irish Airborne Dave and Jake Crist teamed up with Sami Callihan to form Ohio Is For Killers in CZW. While the CZW fans loved this and began to chant "OI4K" whenever they showed up, some other fans of the Crists weren't too happy and started calling them "Oink" based on the perception they had gotten fatter and degenerated into being skewered for a living. Technically true but grossly overstated, as they still didn't look fat.

Despite this, he has the same fit body type as the others (who, incidentally, are genetically identical clones engineered to the be perfect boy band). Even more oddly, another member is named "Chubby Z" despite not being the designated pudgy one.

Hollywood Pudgy / int_fdc876c3	comment	Played with in Death Becomes Her, when Madeline insults her husband by calling him "flabby"; said husband is played by Bruce Willis, and his "flab" is (at most) realistic middle-aged softness. However, this is in keeping with Madeline's character, as she's an extremely vain actress (and a rather hateful person to boot).
