Not lean, but still mean.
"Your sins are exceeded only by your girth!"
β Green Goblin on Wilson Fisk, Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
Also called fatbastarditis. Once a television character reaches a certain level of tubbiness, the show they are in will lose sympathy for them. It is generally assumed that overweight people are either pathetic, obnoxious losers or greedy, hedonistic Corrupt Corporate Executives. They also tend to be portrayed as ludicrously obsessive eaters. Furthermore, most are portrayed as lazy, having poor hygiene, bad grooming, and lacking in fashion sense. Glandular conditions, genetic tendencies, a natural endomorph body type, low metabolism, and weight gain as a side effect of prescription drugs are treated as lame excuses alongside the "I'm just big-boned" mold.
This trope is Older Than Steam (when resources are short and the peasants are starving, the rich fat guy who owns their farms will attract considerable resentment), but with the introduction of synthetic, high-fat foods in the early twentieth century, which enabled people from most social classes to gain weight quickly, the kind of immorality it was used to signify changed considerably. Prior to that point, being fat was considered high fashion and a status symbol in an unequal world β examples include Adipose Rex and how having a fat wife proved that the Railroad Baron had enough money to feed her a lot. Nowadays, obesity is more associated with the poor, as processed food is far cheaper than healthier alternatives, and a Lower-Class Lout of a Fat Bastard will usually be used to illustrate the physical, intellectual, and moral inferiority of the slobs in a Slobs Versus Snobs conflict that takes the latter's side.
Interestingly, some comedians (usually fat ones) complain about how modern society won't let them tell fat jokes anymore... although the sheer quantity of examples available tends to disagree on this point. Obesity is so universally seen as a negative character trait that it's relatively common for characters to be given some Adaptational Attractiveness to offset this fact.
Compare Big Eater and Villainous Glutton (often with Jabba Table Manners). Fat Bastard and Big Eater are usually (but not always) mutually exclusive. While Fat Bastard is often fairly ugly, the Big Eater usually has a somewhat pleasant appearance. This is because the former is played for villainy and the latter for laughs. Dead Weight refers to fat zombies. When a Fat Bastard does their own fighting, they can be a simultaneously humorous and terrifying foe for a hero to face off against β these portrayals often invoke the character's obesity as a Disability Super Power or Power-Upgrading Deformation. Kevlard is a commonly invoked trope, particularly for a Stationary Boss or Mighty Glacier villain. Stout Strength is also a stock trait for these villains, and they will rarely be Acrofatic. When facing a villain with more than one of these traits, crying is an acceptable tactic.
This trope is named after the character from the Austin Powers movies. He epitomizes this trope to such an extreme that it qualifies as parody.
God help you if such a character is Large and in Charge β they could very well be a Corrupt Corporate Executive or Morally Bankrupt Banker. Worse yet, they could be an Adipose Rex. (Bear in mind that the latter is not synonymous with this trope, though.)
Fat Idiot and Fat Slob portray similarly negative images of the overweight, though not necessarily unsympathetic ones (there are plenty of dim but good-hearted fat characters) and it's entirely possible to be a Fat Bastard without being either of those other two. Contrast Big Beautiful Man and Big Beautiful Woman (men and women who are attractive because they're chubby), Big Fun (fatness = jolly and great fun to be around), Pear-Shaped Gentle Giant (fat lower body = gentle personality), and Lean and Mean (a skinny bastard). Often stems from Evil Is Bigger and Beauty Equals Goodness.

Advertising
- The titular character of the South African Biggie Bear public service announcements warning parents to be responsible on what they let their children watch on television is noticeably portly and in each of the three ads does something despicable. He beats up and shoots Mr. Rabbit in "Biggie Bear says hello", he forcibly injects heroin into Mr. Spotty and leaves him there in "Biggie Bear's surprise" and he rapes Miss Pussycat in "Biggie Bear meets a friend".
- McDonaldland mascot Grimace was originally introduced as the pudgy, four-armed milkshake thief the Evil Grimace, who lost his extra arms and had the "Evil" dropped from his name after he was changed to being a friendlier character.
Comic Strips
- Brewster Rockit: Space GuyβCliff Clewless. The idea is in his name. He's supposed to be the station's engineer but knows nothing beyond making an idiot of himself (though not the same level as Brewster, whose stupidity is beyond measure), lazing around, and causing trouble to himself and his crewmates.
- Brutal hitman Oodles from Dick Tracy, who weighs 470 lbs.
- 'Hunk' Murphy in Footrot Flats, who gets his nickname from his massive bulk, is the dumbest and cruellest member of the Murphy clan; given to acts like pulling the wings off butterflies. Unfortunately for Wal and co., his bulk belies his Stout Strength.
- The cynical fatty tabby, Garfield. Other than abusing Odie and making his owner's life hell, he does nothing but eat and sleep.
- J. Roaringham Fatback, a recurring villain in Li'l Abner. The self-styled "Pork King", Fatback was a greedy, gluttonous, unscrupulous business tycoon. His grudge against Dogpatch originated when the town cast a shadow over the table where he was having breakfast, causing his desire to demolish the town, rather than simply move his table. The bloated, porcine, hideously ugly Fatback was, quite literally, a corporate swine.
- In Terry and the Pirates, the corpulent Papa Pyzon is a slave-trading criminal when Terry and Pat first encounter him. He later returns as an Axis agent during the war.
Fan Fiction
- Batman Beyond Revisited: Chainsaw, though in an unusual example of this trope, his girth is pure muscle.
- The inexplicably demonic Sollux in Homestuck high; at least, Rose accuses him of having "fifteen girths", which presumably means that he's fat.
- Every overweight character in Knowledge is Power but especially Slughorn and pre-redemption Millicent.
- Norg, the demonic viceroy that has usurped rule in Hebi-Na's Soulscape in Shadowchasers: Soulscape. A huge, obese, frog-like demon, he is a Villainous Glutton with no manners. Like every major character that Jalal meets while on his mission in this place, Norg symbolizes part of Hebi-Na's personality. In this case, he represents what Hebi-Na once was, the cruelty that she once showed towards others, and is the cast-off evil that Hebi-Na has been trying to purge from herself.
- Councilmen Arnold of soulless shell (Redwall), a convicted rapist ferret who tries to rape two other girls in-story, is even described as a "fat bastard".
- To the New World: Eating countless people has turned Aldrich of the Deep's body into a pile of sludge that can cover a cathedral floor.
- Mr. Davidson in Tokyo Mew Mew No Hope Left. He "talks about George Bush and shit" and shoots aliens in the leg.
- Commodore Nelson in Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse is even worse than his appearance in One Piece filler. A morbidly obese Marine commander, he uses his position to serve as the personal slaver of the World Nobles. He sells them not only ordinary people abducted off the streets, but also anyone who somehow offends him, up to and including his own Marines. Most of his crew is miserable, but are too afraid of his rank and connection to the Nobles to fight back. When the Nerimans escape their cells, Nelson plans to summon the rest of his fleet to enslave the Nerimans, his Marine crew for letting them escape, and the entire population of the island they happened to be on.
- Watermelon Tourmaline from We Can Be Heroes! (Steven Universe) is an unpleasant, obese Prism Ranger who's more than happy to threaten civilians with jail time at a Hellhole Prison for the smallest offenses, and makes flippant remarks about her own dead war buddies just to set off fellow war veteran Big Biz off, all while casually eating carrot-like vegetables.
Music
- Faith No More's only Live Album was titled You Fat Bastards: Live at the Brixton Academy.
- Sort of a persona played by Killer Mike, also name-dropped on Run the Jewels' "Job Well Done".
- GWAR give us Beefcake the Mighty, their bassist. Dressed like a goth Roman centurion and hailing from the planet Cholesterol, his weight is matched only by his villainy, being responsible for sinking Atlantis under the weight of his post-binge vomit.
- The Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, could count as this. It's in his name!
- (More precisely, Biggie often plays Fat Bastards in his rap Villain Songs, where he plays the role of a consummate, cold-blooded gangsterβsee his songs like "Gimme the Loot" or "Who Shot Ya?".)
- He was this to an extent in the South Park episode "Hell on Earth 2006", where Butters and company summon him from the dead, and his first order of business is to shoot up the place in annoyance.
- The Villain Protagonist of the song Sheriff Fatmanπ Image
by Carter U.S.M. is "six foot six and a hundred tons". He's also involved in electoral fraudnote "Granny-farming" refers to the practice of buying/stealing voting ballots from OA Ps, buying up low-quality housing that isn't fit for human habitation with a view to renting it to the desperate, and when said tenants can't pay up he'll "take your teeth as deposit". He also has "more aliases than Klaus Barbie"note A nazi war criminal, is giving Nicholas van Hoogstratennote A notorious slum-lord who ultimately went to prison for manslaughter a run for his money, and is described as a "born-again Rachman"note Another slum-lord notorious for exploiting and abusing his tenants

- In Progress Wrestling there's Dave Mastiff, who is a lot more agile than his size would make you think, his finisher is a cannon ball senton
Radio

Tabletop Games
- In the Succession Wars era of BattleTech, the Draconis Combine's Dieron Military District Warlord, Vasily Cherenkoff, is notably overweight. Personality-wise, he is described in less than flattering terms as abrasive and barely competent, an intersection of a Glory Seeker Miles Gloriosus, The Neidermeyer, and Colonel Kilgore, feared and despised by his men, such that the leader of the Combine's Secret Police summed him up in disgust as a "fat fool." While he piloted a 100-ton Atlas, even that got him no respect, as his troops quietly joked it was the only 'Mech he fit in, and that the 'Mech's hips were giving out. He even went so far as to go rogue from his own government to pursue a war he thought they wanted but did not sanction. He eventually got what was coming to him.
- Dungeons & Dragons:
- Amnizu, a type of powerful devil, are like this. Not only are they are obese and ugly, they act like snobbish arrogant, haughty bureaucrats, even towards devils weaker than themselves, whom they look down upon. The ones under the sway of Levistus, the Lord of the Fifth actually think that the laws of Hell don't apply to them (because Levistus told them that; of course, the same type of thinking got him in trouble).
- Orcus has been depicted and described from his earliest appearances as obese to the point of rotundity. Must be all of that sitting around on his throne. It's such a well-known trait of his that about half his most faithful servants become similarly fat. He is also the Demon Prince of Undeath, and widely regarded as one of the most despicable and irredeemable characters in the entire franchise.
- In 3e there was feat Deformity:Obese that required serving some kind of evil power and made character's weight at least triple of normal for his race.
- Themberchaud from the 5th edition adventure module Out of the Abyss is an enormously fat red dragon. Despite being out of shape from being kept in a Gilded Cage by the duergar of Gracklstugh, he's just as ruthless and dangerous as any other red dragon.
- Subverted and lampshaded in Exalted: Sesus Nagezzer, one of the canonical Dragon-Bloods, deliberately ignores his obesity problem, to the point where he's been nicknamed "the Slug". Before he became so, he was a brilliant officer in the Realm's army, and he's picked up a few tricks since he lost the use of a leg. Did we also mention he's one of the best hopes for the Realm to survive the Time of Troubles? And that his almost-official position in the Scarlet Dynasty is The Pornomancer?
- Iron Kingdoms: Dominar Rasheth from Skorne Empire is one, deliberately going against the Proud Warrior Race code of his people and loving it.
- Old World of Darkness: The Cone of Flesh from Midnight Circus takes the cake by being made of nothing but fat. More specifically, it's made up of all the assorted human and animal fats collecting in the fomorarch pits of the Seventh Generation, having attained sentience and coagulated into a nine-foot-tall pile of foul-smelling blubber. On top of being utterly revolting , the Cone is also a ready supporter of both the Wyrm and the Circus, and currently rules Freak City through brute force and low cunning; for good measure, it's in the habit of eating humans who make the mistake of overstaying their welcome, and might just have extended its appetites to any children trespassing on Freak territory.
- The Macellarius bloodline from Vampire: The Requiem. Their nickname is "Gluttons." Once someone's initiated into the bloodline, they gain up to 150 pounds in the next few nights. Oh, and the bloodline is made up mostly of cultured gourmands with a special taste for long pork.
- The same gameline gives us the Formosae, "cousins" to the Kindred who feed on fat/ugliness and balloon up into horrifically disgusting monsters as their power increases. The general rule is that they are spiteful, disgusting, abusive monsters who love to prey on those who are insecure about their own weight and looks because it makes them feel better about their own morbidly obese frames.
- Servants of Nurgle from Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 are usually depicted as bloated, disease riddled bags of flesh. They see this as a good thing, as it helps them spread the "blessings" of Grandpa Nurgle to other races.
- Warhammer Fantasy specific examples are the unique characters Grom the Paunch for the Greenskins and Greasus Goldtooth for the Ogre Kingdoms, both of whom are vile, corpulent flesh-lumps who serve as generals for two of the more destructive factions. Both Grom and Greasus are too fat (and important) to walk and go into battle riding a custom chariot and a palanquin carried by dozens of slaves, respectively. There is also Throt the Unclean, a Mad Scientist Skaven who experimented on himself, and resulted in him gaining numerous mutations and extra limbs, but his body has become bloated and he needs to constantly eat to maintain his form.
- The Empire gives us the former Emperor Ludwig II Hohenbach, popularly (and unflatteringly) known as "Ludwig the Fat." A dedicated hedonist, Ludwig was infamous for torturing and executing chefs for not living up to his high culinary standards. His Grand Theogonist was almost the exact same, eventually dying in his sleep by suffocating on his own neck fat.
- An impressive example is the Slaaneshi Daemon Princess known as the Mistress of Spite. Her ascension to Daemon Prince came after she achieved grandiose heights of gastronomy on the population of three entire worlds. Definitely fat (requiring thirty six Daemonic monsters to pull her chariot around) and definitely a bastard.
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Emperor who was first seen on the card "The Emperor's Holiday" (based on the story of The Emperor's New Clothes) is later seen acting like a textbook example of this Trope in a series of Trap Cards including this oneπ Image

- Etra chan saw it!: Generally speaking, the antagonists are more likely to be portrayed as being overweight, with Hiiragi being the most common example. There's also a sublte element of Beauty Equals Goodness, as when the protagonists are overweight, they will more likely than not lose it, while the antagonists are more likely to stay overweight.
- Helluva Boss has Mammon, Fizzarolli's abusive boss. He's by far the girthiest character in the series, a manipulative and foul-mouthed Jerkass, and also the embodiment of greed. All in all, a fairly unpleasant combination.

- Professor Sir Rupert Crackpot, OBE from By Mistake On Purpose. Outwardly a photogenic and charismatic TV personality. To his colleagues at the university, an unhealthy, morbidly obese, hypocritical bully. Has a mysterious ability to appear younger and slighter on camera.
- It's not immediately obvious due to it being a Sprite Comic, but Black Mage of 8-Bit Theater - a violently unhinged, Chaotic Evil apocalypse engine whose favourite spell is a Fantastic Nuke - is occasionally stated to be carrying around a few extra pounds; Dragoon, for example, calls him "the little fat guy". That being said, his weight isn't really shown to have anything to do with his unrelenting thirst for death and suffering.

Otherwise? He really is just a Cool Old Guy. - The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!: Emperor Krelchzeeber, the guy who killed Riboflavin's dad.

- Tharqa from Penny and Aggie practically defines this trope. The only overweight character in the entire strip, and she couldn't be more venial. Karen, while having lost weight and shaped up considerably, is still bigger than every other character except Tharqa, and is well on her way to becoming the Big Bad of the comic with her Machiavellian plans against the eponymous characters.
- Schlock Mercenary: General Hugo Xinchub is one of the Tough's most durable recurring enemies, an utter bastard who's got countless monstrous acts under his belt as a UNS general, and is also a complete asshole who cannot go a scene without either being condescending or smug.
