''Meet the Fatheads'' is a ShowWithinAShow on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' created by Rachel Bighead.[[note]]Credited at the time as "Ralph"[[/note]]
It stars Mr. and Mrs. Fathead, a [[BlatantLies happily]] married couple who engage in wacky antics such as whacking each other with their trademark parking meters.
WordOfGod says that the two were [[WriteWhoYouKnow modeled off of her parents]]. The series ran for a [[LongRunner successful 893 episodes]] before ending and being replaced with a SpiritualSuccessor called ''JustForFun/WackyDelly''.
[[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLifeStaticCling 20 years later]], Rachel revived the show for a one-off special that not only saw the return of Mr. and Mrs. Fathead but also [[BabiesMakeEverythingBetter saw the arrival of a baby Fathead]]. Originally, the plans were for Leon and Chuck Chameleon to direct the special using modern computer-generated animation, but these plans were scrapped after a disastrous test screening, and Rachel Bighead was instead hired to oversee the project.

--> '''Mr. Fathead''': Get this flying disease [[LargeHam OFF MY HEAD!]]
* AmusingInjuries: The characters constantly hurt other people or each other, and it's hilarious!
* AnthropomorphicFood: Melon Man is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a man made out of watermelons]].
* AsideGlance: The characters often turn and smile at the camera when they deliver a punchline.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' smash Mr. Fathead's eye. You will anger both him ''and'' [[spoiler:his eye elf]].
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Mr. and Mrs. Fathead have a pet giant fly whom they walk on a leash like a dog.
* CartoonCreature: The titular couple look like slimy green things. They were modeled off of the parents of the creator, who were toads.
%% * CrapsackWorld
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The backgrounds are all black-and-white.
* DerangedAnimation: The intro shows a cage crashing onto people, and leads to the Fatheads beating each other up with parking meters.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mr. Fathead can be one.
-->'''Mrs. Fathead''': Guess what I got?\\
'''Mr. Fathead''': A lobotomy?!
* TheDitz: How stupid is Rollo, exactly? He doesn't know how to use his hands. He knocks by bashing his head against the door.
* EyeScream: In one episode, Mrs. Fathead whacks her husband in the head, causing his eye to literally shatter like glass.
* FullNameUltimatum: Mrs. Fathead exclaims "Edward Elias Fathead!" when she catches her husband eating a girl scout that tried to sell him cookies.
* {{Gonk}}: Rollo, even by the [[GrotesqueGallery standards of this series]], fits this trope to a T.
* GrossoutShow
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mrs. Fathead. [[JerkAss Mr. Fathead]] is debatable, though.

* TheKlutz: Rollo is an idiot who slams his head into ''everything'', and of course, messes up the Fatheads' cheesecake.
* LargeHam / NoIndoorVoice: Both characters, but ''especially'' Mr. Fathead.
* LaughTrack: This one is different in that instead of a whole crowd of people, you hear one man [[LaughingMad laughing insanely]] in the background. Somehow that makes it funnier.
** It gets even better when we learn that the lone deranged laugher is [[spoiler:Heffer]].
* LongRunner: In "[[Recap/RockosModernLifeS3E10WackyDelly Wacky Delly]]", we find out that it ran for ''893 episodes''.

* NoNameGiven: The Fathead's pet fly, who just stands there on a leash.
* NoodleIncident:
** The beginning of Rollo's introductory episode. How did Mrs. Fathead [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext get her feet in Mr. Fathead's nostrils]]? And what was that "bake sale" Mr. Fathead was talking about?
** In the same episode, when Mrs. Fathead offers Rollo some cheesecake, Mr. Fathead yells, "Don't give him anything!" as if she's tried giving Rollo food before.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Mr. Fathead]] is revealed to have an elf living in his eye in one episode. Of course, the elf grows extremely irate when his [[EyeScream eye is smashed]].
-->'''Elf''': Somebody's gonna pay for that glass!

* RememberTheNewGuy: Rollo, whose only introduction in his debut episode is Mr. Fathead referring to him as an annoying neighbor.
* ScoutOut: The girl scout who gets eaten by Mr. Fathead in one episode.
* SimpletonVoice: Rollo is an idiot who talks in an exaggerated Australian accent.
%% * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Definitely on the cynical side.
* VerbalTic: [[TheKlutz Rollo]] has an Australian accent, and thus, as part of the common stereotype, ends all of his sentences with "mate".
* WouldHurtAChild: In one episode, a girl scout walks up to Mr. Fathead and asks him if he would like to buy some cookies. Mr. Fathead responds by [[spoiler:snatching her up in his jaws and chewing her up. You can even hear her bones crunching! Thankfully, Mrs. Fathead pulls her out, and she's okay.]]
