History Main / ChubbyChaser

This is TruthInTelevision. Many ancient and modern cultures prefer hefty, moderately overweight women to skinny ones. (Two examples from Western countries: the 17th-century Flemish painter Creator/PeterPaulRubens is so famous for his depictions of plump, plushly upholstered women that his name has been borrowed to describe that style of feminine beauty. Also, in TheGayNineties, the actress Lillian Russell weighed 200 pounds in her prime, and was considered one of the most beautiful and desirable women in America.) The pop-culture obsession with thin women is actually relatively new.

* The male half of Music/TheBeautifulSouth's "Perfect Ten" (the numbers are dress sizes):

* ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'': Moto Moto lusts after large woman, and even has an entire song where he states "I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he's a hippopotamus. This is {{deconstructed|trope}} as the film goes on, as Gloria does not appreciate Moto Moto only liking her for her features and not her as a person.

%%* In an example PlayedForHorror, the Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3520/ SCP-3520]], where an unknown force takes sadomasochistic glee in watching humanity become this as they destroy Earth’s environment to make way for industrial farms to make more snack food.
%%--> '''Second female voice''': [[BigFatFuture 60% of American women are obese, 75% of American men, 100% of true American animals.]] Let yourself slip into a dying asteroid, like me!

* ''Fanfic/ReverseFallsAU'', being based on a mirror universe of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' often has Mabel have a thing for the still chubby Gideon. Gideon for his part appreciates this as much as regular Mabel appreciates Gideon's interest her in (which to say, not at all) due to the fact that Reverse Mabel is usually depicted as being as nuts as regular Gideon.

* PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/418380/royal-adviser-the-unit-rgre Royal Adviser, The Unit - RGRE]]. All Equestrian females have a thing for fat males. They go crazy with attraction when Celestia hires an obese human man as her advisor.

* ''Manga/GirlsSaurus'' readers, meet Tsuyoshi Arahata: supreme chef, dedicated achiever, and hardcore lover of... [[{{Gonk}} fat]].

** In one of the {{Filler}} episodes Princess Fuku hires her IdenticalStranger Ino [[BodyDouble to pose as her]] during [[ArrangedMarriage a meeting with her fiancé]] until [[WeightWoe she (Fuku) loses the weight]] she gained [[ComfortFood while binge-eating out of stress]]. It turns out, however, that her boyfriend Prince Chikara is a big guy himself... and he swears by the trope, [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage so he doesn't mind Fuku's chub.]]
** A more low-key example would when Shikamaru criticized Ino's obsession with being thin, remarking that most men prefer women that have a little meat on them.
** Sai is implied to be one in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' when working as a teacher of the Ninja Academy he suggests using Chocho, who's very chubby, as an art model calling her "the most beautiful girl of the class". Ironically, his wife [[spoiler:Ino]] is very fit.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': This trope is referenced and combined with the YouAreFat trope for [[PlayedForLaughs hilarity]] when Ranma's mirror clone tells Akane that Ranma likes her.
-->'''[[HollywoodPudgy Akane]]:''' Wha-- No way! Ranma and I are [[JustFriends just friends]].\\

* Katou Hayabusa is well-known for all of his mangas featuring a plump lady and/or a lover of such. This seems to be the whole point of ''Sea Side Bound''. He's done mostly original, but he has done a few fan-comics, like ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' and ''Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens''.

* Tagami, the male lead from the shoujo manga ''Manga/{{Pochamani}}'' is a self-professed "chubby maniac" who loves cuddling his plump little girlfriend Tsugumi. In particular, he's attracted to Tsugumi because she's both FatAndProud. Large girls who still obsess over their {{Weight Woe}}s do not attract his attention long.

* Akari from ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion''. As a result of her love for round and plump things, she appreciates people with a "full" figure. Her first meeting with Nikaidou shows a comical, quirky attraction to him, and clear dismay is shown in her face and monologue when he attempts to limit the amount of food he eats at her place.

* Char Aznable is one in the novelization of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', pursuing a relationship with Margaret Ring Blair, who is said to have very plump lips and a full waist. This is likely CanonDiscontinuity though, considering a), Sunrise's policy regarding Gundam canon states that only animated entries are canon (and the novelization's plot drastically differs from the TV show's), and b), his anime incarnation's love interests tend to be relatively thin.

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is one and even goes on a date with ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers' Big Bertha. He is so blatant about it that she tells him she feels as objectified as when she's in super-model mode and wishes that people could look beyond her physical appearance and love her for her personality. Deadpool then takes his mask off to take her up on the offer... then comes her VomitDiscretionShot.
* Jimbo from ''ComicStrip/RoseIsRose'' prefers Rose if she were fat, so much that he often looks through wide reflections of her to fantasize about it.
* In ''ComicBook/TheSanctuaryTree'', Daisy believes that Donald Duck is this when she catches him hugging the fat guard at the end of the story. The fact that she's kissing him nonstop doesn't help.
* ComicBook/LexLuthor himself may be one. He's shown a romantic interest in the rather large ComicBook/AmandaWaller, and even passionately kissed her in ''Public Enemies'', although that might be more due to her power and influence (such as being in charge of the ComicBook/SuicideSquad), to say nothing of his current escalated insanity while on kryptonite-infused venom.
* In ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', Triplicate Girl in the original continuity married the BigFun of the team Chuck Taine AKA Bouncing Boy and was shown to be just as crazy about him as he was about her. When she first met Superboy, she called him "a little thin for my taste", implying Chuck’s figure is the opposite of a problem to her.

* In ''Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor'', medical orderly Gladstone Screwer has spent his entire life on the Beatific Islands, where the standard of beauty holds that bigger is better. He is confused when visiting English doctor James Nookey tries to explain the slimmer ideal of female beauty held by most people in England, and when he travels there himself, he is immediately attracted to Miss Soaper, the heavyset Matron of Dr Nookey's slimming clinic.

* Creator/RoaldDahl's [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids short story,]] "Madame Rosette" includes a conversation between a group of RAF fighter pilots and native Egyptians at a bar. They compare their tastes in women, finding that the Egyptians prefer them fat, whereas the English like them thin.

* At least implied of Creator/{{Mary Gentle}}'s recurring character [[LadyOfWar Valentine]].

* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} series, the Senior Wrangler of Unseen University is implied to be one. In ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'' he tries to court the plump and somewhat frumpy Cheerful Fairy, and in ''Literature/TheLastContinent'' he's frequently distracted by thoughts of Mrs. Whitlow, the University's fat, middle-aged head housekeeper.
** The series includes enough BigBeautifulWoman (Agnes Nitt[[note]]"good-looking, in an expansive sort of way"[[/note]], Lady Sybil[[note]]"[her] bosom rose and fell like an empire"[[/note]], a Valkyrie from ''Literature/SoulMusic''[[note]]"[she was] as much woman as you could get in one place without getting two women"[[/note]]) that many fans suspect that Creator/TerryPratchett [[AuthorAppeal was one himself]].

* Jake Stonebender of Literature/CallahansCrosstimeSaloon explicitly likes his women large. He initially falls for Mary Callahan (who is both [[StoutStrength heavy and muscular]] due to her skill at blacksmithing) and later meets and marries Zoe, a heavyset bass player.

* In the telenovela ''Series/AmigasYRivales'', Luis becomes this in the ending, when he falls in love with his fat female friend Irene.
* This is the preference of Rob, the love interest in Ricki Lake's telemovie ''Baby Cakes''. He resists the attraction at first, unwilling to break it off with his thin, overbearing girlfriend.
* In ''Series/{{Bones}}'' S5-E08 ''The Foot In The Foreclosure'', the VictimOfTheWeek was a former chubby girl who had been a regular at a Chubby Chaser hookup night-club. After she lost the weight, she went back as a chaser.
** Bones & Booth take Booth's grandfather when they go to ask around at the club. When Booth asks Bones for a polite way of saying "fat", his grandfather tells him that there's nothing wrong with liking fat women, and that his wife (Booth's grandmother) had "a little jam in her jelly". As soon as he gets to the club, he starts eyeing up [[BigBeautifulWoman the BBWs on the dance-floor.]] When Bones & Booth are ready to go, they realise that he's already on the dance floor grinding between the women he was eying up before, so they stick around for a while.

* In ''{{Series/CSI}}'' S05-E16 ''Big Middle'', a male victim turns out to have this fetish, although the death ultimately proves to be accidental (a [[BigBeautifulWoman BBW]] [[GoOutWithABang passed out during sex on top of him and he was suffocated]]). There is certainly an element of {{Asshole Victim}}, however, as he's a womanizer who preys on the insecurities of large women before dumping them.
* Reverend Fuller, in the ''Series/FamilyMatters'' episode "Pound Foolish", admits that he loves [[BigBeautifulWoman big beauitful women]], especially Aunt Oonah, from Altoona, [[FormerlyFit who has put on a lot of weight since her last appearance.]]
* On ''Series/{{House}}'', S01-E16 ''Heavy'', a patient's husband admits that he loves it when his wife puts on a few more pounds, especially when it means she's pregnant. For that matter, he seems to be even more turned on by a preggo wife on the whole. The patient likes her curvier body and downright becomes angry when the doctors told her that she needed to do surgery that would cause her to lose weight. We later learn that she's been fooling around with other men who evidently were attracted to her size. House suggests that she switch to a website for surgical scar fetishists instead.
* In ''Series/JustShootMe'' S04-E13 "Dial 'N' For Murder", Maya is happy that she has started dating a man who dislikes the waif-thin look that her father's fashion magazine promotes. Unfortunately, she discovers that while she agrees with him, she doesn't want to let him fatten her up.

* Hal of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' goes off the deep end when a pregnant Lois grows a few sizes. He spends a whole episode injecting maple syrup and chocolate sauce into her tea and, when she buys celery, fries it [[DeepFriedWhatever in bacon grease]].
** Lois might also be a repressed version. While still pregnant she imagines an "ideal" world where she had daughters instead of sons, the Hal of this fantasy is obese as a result of stress eating to deal with being the only guy in a household full of women. Yet Lois is implied to be just as nuts about him as she is Hal in the real world.
* ''Series/NoahsArc'': Alex (a self-described BigBeautifulMan) hints that Trey may be this, but since Alex is the only guy we see that Trey has an interest in, it's difficult to assess.
* Kramer from ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' once dated a full-figured waitress who he accidentally got fired. He also brought home a bottom-heavy woman after he became the ASSMAN.
** Kramer also has an unseen friend named Spector who never dates a woman under 250 pounds.

* In the ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' Interns Webisodes (The 2nd Webisode, ''Our Meeting With JD''), [[{{Ladette}} Denise]] admits to preferring fat men because "They never expect commitment and they try so hard in the sack."
** Eventually she strikes up a relationship with another intern who's thin but was FormerlyFat which arouses her.
* In ''Series/ToddAndTheBookOfPureEvil'' S01-E05 ''Monster Fat'', [[AlmightyJanitor Jimmy the Janitor]] mentions having slept with hot chicks, skinny chicks and even chicks with dicks. But the best sex of all is with fat chicks. Notably, the episode where he imparts this insight to the main character feature a MonsterOfTheWeek turning all the female students obese.

** In fact, one of the plot points of the episode is using a water pistol full of the instant obesity liquid to threaten the girl who accidentally made the fat monster. At the end of the episode, we see the Janitor on a date with an extremely attractive woman. When she leaves to visit the bathroom, he immediately produces another water pistol and squeezes it into her drink.
* There is an episode of Series/{{Yeralash}} where a boy brings a picture of two girls to a sorcerer and asks him to cast a love spell on "the pretty one". Next day, it turns out the sorcerer is a Chubby Chaser but the boy is not...

* Brian May and, by extension, the viewpoint character of the Music/{{Queen}} song "Fat-Bottomed Girls".
** Although his preference for men was well documented, looking at some of Freddie's ex-girlfriends indicates he preferred full figures himself.
* Music/SirMixALot's "Baby Got Back" famously informs us, "I like big butts, and I cannot lie!" As large posteriors aren't usually found on tiny women, the rest may be inferred.

* The Mika song, "Big Girl (You are Beautiful)".
* [[StageNames Spicy McHaggis]] of the Music/DropkickMurphys, as mentioned in the song named in his honor.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GwVketMa44 "Go Big Girl"]] by Black Dave (can be found on the soundtrack to BigMommasHouse)
* PlayedForLaughs in Sinergia's "Mujer Robusta" ("Heavyset Woman")
* Appears in the second verse to "Beer Gut" by Music/DaYoopers:
-->I took my date into the sauna, and on the bench we sat
-->She pointed and she said, "I've never seen one big as that"
-->[[InnocentInnuendo She held it and she stroked it, and she told me with a smile]]
-->"Bodybuilders make me sick, but beer guts drive me wild"
* One chorus member in Arthur Godfrey's rendition of the "Too Fat Polka":
-->I sure want her, you can't have her, she's just right for me!
* "Three Hundred Pounds Of Hongry" is from the perspective of one. The [[BigBeautifulWoman gender of the person being discussed]] [[BigHandsomeMan depends on the exact song version]]; one way or another, they're definitely a BigEater (and the narrator finds it endearing).

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Vb0sfPM60 "The Bigger the Figure"]] by Louis Prima about a man who loves this about his girlfriend. Note that Prima was also an InkSuitActor playing King Louie in ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'', and there’s a reason he gets so excited when he sees Baloo DisguisedInDrag...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeiWKchdCA8 "I Want a Fat Babe"]] by the Snacktreat Boys, a parody of the Music/BackstreetBoys song, "I Want it That Way".
* From Music/TylerTheCreator's "Yonkers":
-->But where the fat ones at? I got something to feed 'em.
-->And some cooking books, the black kids never wanted to read 'em.
* "Fat" by Lindemann (the self-titled side project of Music/{{Rammstein}} frontman Till Lindemann) was inspired by chub chaser fetish videos.
* Music/InsaneClownPosse's [[Music/TheGreatMilenko "Hokus Pokus"]]:
-->"Trunk full of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Faygo]], car full of fat chicks"

-->"I saw [[{{Necromancer}} Milenko]], he gave me ThreeWishes\\
That night, I fucked three fat bitches"
* Music/HeavyD, "[[BigBeautifulMan the Overweight Lover]]", was often on the receiving end of this trope. On "The Overweight Lover's In the House", he ends up getting overrun and groped by women who all want a piece of him after a concert.
--> "And when I'm through rockin', and chillin' at the disco\\
They grab me up and scoop me up, they just won't let go\\
That's when I know that there's been too much charmin'\\
I put 'em in a line, and say, 'Please don't squeeze the Charmin''"

* Wrestling/JerryLawler was very vocal in his preference to the rotund Bertha Fayfe over the "hockey player" [[Wrestling/{{Madusa}} Alundra Blayze]].
** Lawler's tastes would subvert this later on when the WWF began focusing more on looks when it came to the women, as he unmercifully ridiculed Wrestling/MollyHolly during her HollywoodPudgy angle in 2002.

* Creator/CraigFerguson identifies as one during his ''Does This Need To Be Said?'' show, but then questions the need for such a label in the first place.
-->'''Craig:''' There's a name for men like me that like women like that. We're called "[[spoiler:[[BaitAndSwitch heterosexuals]]]]."

* The Dwarfs from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' prefer that their women be "round of hip, wide of girth and heavy of bosom." This is due to the fact that their secretive courtship practices revolve around the size of the bride-to-be. The father of the groom weighs her on the "nuptial scales" and calculates a dowry from her heaviness to pay to her family and her husband-to-be proves his worth to the clan he's marrying into by showing he can wrap his long [[ManlyFacialHair beard]] around her waist at least once.

* In Theatre/ShrekTheMusical, Donkey sets the record straight during the song "Forever":
--> '''Donkey:''' I like a big, big girl.

* A RunningGag in the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' series. Thor, modern-day [[HornyVikings viking]] and motivational speaker extraordinaire, mentions his preference for large lasses on ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'''s K-Chat radio. "A man needs something to grab onto!"

* The local baker, Jeff from ''VideoGame/{{Harvest Moon 64}}'' has implications of this. In his first Heart Event with Elli he says he thinks women should be a little plump. He is also the love interest to Elli, who is apparently on the bigger side (but [[InformedAttribute the portraits don't suggest that]]), and will marry her if you don't.
* The 'Chubby' and 'Thick Ass' fetishes in ''VideoGame/HunieCamStudio'' are meant to appeal to these type of fans. Beli and Jessie appeal to the Chubby fans, while Kyanna and Renee appeal to the Thick Ass fans. Sarah is lucky enough to appeal to ''both''.
* All males from the visual novel Mandarava - The Serpent Queen are chubby chasers. Naturally, that means that every female is a ''Main/BigBeautifulWoman'' (as shown in an official artwork [[https://twitter.com/RiskySatyriasis/status/900907648102445061]])

* [[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Fat Albert]]'s stage theme in ''VideoGame/SaturdayMorninMayhem'', "Large and Way N Charge," is a song describing the singer's love for someone's fatness and gluttony. It's not clear whether Albert himself is singing the song or the subject of it.

* ''Webcomic/BlurTheLines'' is a webcomic starring a gay couple; one of the men is fat, and his guy likes him that way. Judging from the constant FanService, the author is one of those as well.

* In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', Vanessa mentions [[JerkAss an ex who told her she was lucky he was into fat chicks]] (though today she's anything but).
* Cherrywell, the lesbian cheerleader from ''Webcomic/GorgeousPrincessCreamyBeamy'', tries to fatten up the hero after succeeding with the rest of the cheerleader squad. (This is AuthorAppeal.)

* A surprisingly large proportion of the users on Website/DeviantArt, or Website/WritingDotCom, or even Website/MySpace.
-->'''''{{Website/Cracked}}''''': ''[[http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/5-pieces-ninja-turtle-fan-art-thatll-ruin-your-childhood/ Fat April]] here is inexplicably the work of at least seven different artists all sharing the same tubby fetish hive-mind fantasy of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 everyone's favorite intrepid reporter]] succumbing to constant pizza exposure, while the Turtles look on with shining glee for some reason.''
* In an example PlayedForHorror, the Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3520/ SCP-3520]], where an unknown force takes sadomasochistic glee in watching humanity become this as they destroy Earth’s environment to make way for industrial farms to make more snack food.
--> '''Second female voice''': [[BigFatFuture 60% of American women are obese, 75% of American men, 100% of true American animals.]] Let yourself slip into a dying asteroid, like me!

* In ''WesternAnimation/DanVs.'' "Technology," Dan and Chris encounter a crazy old man living in the woods, who has a zoetrope of a plus-size lady in a bubble bath, for his eyes only.

* Gina Jabowski from ''WesternAnimation/ParadisePD''. She regularly sexually harasses her obese coworker, Dustin, who she fed into obesity in the first place. This is later revealed to be the result of a kind of brain damage, and she's repulsed by average weight men, perceiving them as grotesquely emaciated.

** In his debut appearance, after Chris turned down Herbert's sexual advances, Herbert complains "''Get your fat ass back here''"

* In the ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' short "Weight for Me" Olive comfort eats while Popeye and Brutus are away at sea and when they come back she's obese. While Popeye tries to help her lose weight, Brutus tries to get her to keep it on.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Simpsons}}'', same case with Lois Griffin, Marge herself is practically a Chubby Chaser since after all her husband Homer is a 239-pound donut eating machine. Marge has in at least one episode called Homer her "chubby hubby". Despite being concerned over his health, Marge will make him pork chops nonetheless to keep him happy.
** Downplayed, however, in the season 7 episode “King-sized Homer,” when Homer [[ZanyScheme intentionally gains more than 60lbs so that he can go on disability and work from home]]. Marge confronts him to debate the pros and cons of his scheme and admits that she is finding herself less attracted to Homer physically when he weighs over 300lbs.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* As you can tell, most ancient art tends to exaggerate the traits of what it represents. For example, animals with tusks were drawn with abnormally large ones in a lot of cases. So most experts have the hypothesis that this old art of Venuses is just like that, an exaggeration of everything ancient man liked about women. Common consensus seems to be that no one could've been that fat and that these statues are just exaggerated fertility icons (a lot of them even have penises), although there was probably overlap between the two categories. Note the anatomical details: big breasts, big ass, a powerful belly, or knee/arm/neck rolls in some cases. It’s possible that these ancient cultures subscribed to a form of religion that had to do with astrology and agriculture, even seeking the blessings of goddesses to expand and nourish their ever-growing farms and settlements. Early agricultural regions in the Balkans and Anatolia appear to have been epicenters for cultures that produced this kind of art, which seeped into the world of classical antiquity when the Greeks colonized the region.
* There are some stories stating that back even in the olden times, having a large wife was a symbol of status. By having her so plump and big it meant you were wealthy enough to feed and provide for her.

[[folder:Fanfic]]
* The ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19361794/chapters/46065112 The Fattenator Chronicles]]'' uses this when the damage to Cameron's chip causes her to basically develop an eating disorder as her body is now constantly insisting it needs food; a few months after the accident, John admits to Cameron that a conversation with a therapist helped him realise that he is actually more attracted to her now that she is larger.

* Moto Moto in ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa''. He likes 'em big, he likes 'em chunky. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he's a hippopotamus. Despite this though, Gloria doesn't really appreciate being lusted after for her BalloonBelly.

* Booger from ''Film/RevengeOfTheNerds''.
-->'''{{Creator/Seanbaby}}''': ''Booger stole every scene in ''Revenge of the Nerds'', but his greatest performance was at the Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity party. Booger opens the door for the Omega Mu sorority girls and a parade of homely beasts march past him.... He starts to close the door but gets stopped by a giant hand. There's a group of stragglers -- a group of enormous women whose acting reels are used as Bigfoot proof. As each one squeezes past, Curtis Armstrong gets more and more into it. The [[EyeTake subtle, unspoken way]] he transitions from disinterest to eye-fucking should be taught in every theater class.''
* Andy Garcia's lead in ''Film/CityIsland'' has plenty of family issues: in his teen son's case, it's his love of BigBeautifulWoman, including asking a fat girl at school to skip class with him so that he can feed her donuts, and a voyeuristic crush on their zaftig next-door neighbor. A foray in the dark corners of the internet leads him to stumble on a feedee webcam belonging to "Botero" -- which is actually his neighbor's screen name. HilarityEnsues. (When she discovers this, "Botero" does not kindle any romance with the boy, but rather [[PlayingCyrano plays Cyrano]] between him and the fat girl at school.) This subplot culminates with him on a couch, squished against the two objects of his affection while they munch on cheese puffs and watch TV.

* The title character in ''Film/ShallowHal'' becomes one through hypnosis. Once the love goggles have been lifted, Hal realizes the object of his affection ''is'' beautiful. Also, twice his size.
** Various people doubt Hal's sincerity, but it doesn't seem to occur to anyone that he might be an ''entirely'' sincere Chubby Chaser ... mostly they think he's doing it to suck up to the boss of the company, who happens to be his new girlfriend's father.

* The Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) character in ''Film/LoveActually''. He flips for Natalie, a bottom-heavy member of his junior staff -- but gets a bit defensive when people call her chubby. [[PhraseCatcher Which is often.]]

** This is arguably a parody of the trope since, despite the consensus that everyone's reached about Natalie's weight, the Prime Minister's confusion is entirely justified since Natalie- while she isn't exactly tentpole slim- is far from fat.

* Miles in ''Film/SummerCatch''.
-->"Excuse me, I am tired of living a lie. I need it to be known that I like a big girl. In fact, a large, zaftig, voluptuous, full-figured, big-boned, massive-assive honey, that is what gets me going. I like fat women and they like me... big girls need love too, baby!"
* The unfeasibly influential and rich media tycoon, Sean Cooley of ''Film/FatSlags''. Then, after a hit to the head makes him forget that he keeps it secret, he is able to convince literally ''everybody'' in the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom that fat women are the epitome of fashion ''and'' sex appeal.
* In ''Film/RoleModels'' Wheeler tries to console Danny after his girlfriend moves out of their house.
-->''If she doesn't come back I'd go for that friend of hers in the sweater. I know she's a few pounds overweight but in my experience, it's the bigger ones that do way more stuff."

* Huber in the West German film ''Zuckerbaby'' (''Sugar Baby''). Remade as the Ricki Lake vehicle ''Baby Cakes''.

* In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', Drax expresses a preference for women with some meat on them. Although, given that Drax is a BloodKnight this might mean he's an AmazonChaser instead.

* ''Film/GridironGang'' features a waterboy for a football team of reform school kids, who await the arrival of a group of cheerleaders from a girls' reform school. The waterboy proudly waves to his girl; when the other boys keep asking which conventionally attractive girl is the one, he angrily complains he doesn't want some "skinny-ass b***" and points out a very hefty girl.
* ''Film/{{Grimsby}}'': Nobby is not only married to a large woman (portrayed by Creator/RebelWilson) but also confuses an overweight maid (portrayed by Creator/GaboureySidibe) as somebody he needs to seduce for information when told to look for a gorgeous woman in a green dress.
* ''Film/{{Norbit}}'':
** Averted with the protagonist. He does not feel any physical attraction for her obese wife Rasputia. On the contrary, he is disgusted by her. Later, Rasputia desperately tries to convince Kate that Norbit is this. It's unclear if she really believes it or if she's just lying to make Kate jealous.
** The "power tap guru" who Rasputia cheats on Norbit with... although this is also averted when he later becomes disgusted when Rasputia calls for another night of sex, suggesting that he is only interested in her money.
** If their reactions are anything to go by [[spoiler:the Mexican patrons at the Latimore's new strip club are this.]]
* As in the Broadway musical, Wilbur Turnblad in the 2007 adaptation of ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'' is only interested in large women--and they don't come much larger than his wife Edna. At one point, Wilbur even says that he's never even ''looked at'' another woman: "This heart only beats for a size 60." Notably, when [[TheVamp Velma Von Tussle]]--a thin, vivacious blonde--shows up in an extremely sexy red dress to seduce Wilbur, he barely notices her increasingly obvious innuendos and, when she tries literally throwing herself at him, pushes her off without a second thought.
** It's implied that Mr. Pinky, who owns a plus-sized clothing boutique, is also a Chubby Chaser. When Edna bargains with him for a new bustier, he licks his lips and guesses her size: "54 DD?" Edna's answer--"EEE!"--makes him scream with joy: "I HIT THE MOTHER LODE!"

* Jake Stonebender of WesternAnimation/CallahansCrosstimeSaloon.

** In "As The World Turns", he hits on and attempts to [[RapeAsComedy rape a fat girl]] who turns out to be more than he bargained for. She eats his leg, and he eventually rapes her to death.
** In "Still Don't Give A Fuck", Slim describes his ideal girl as 'a fat slut who cooks and does dishes'.
** Fat girls in skimpy clothing are depicted charging after the {{Mummy}} version of Slim Shady in the artwork included in the booklet of ''Music/TheSlimShadyLP''.
** There's also some references to it in ''Relapse'' - in "We Made You", Slim gets Creator/JessicaSimpson[[note]]the voice is actually the singer Charmaine Tripp[[/note]] to sing the chorus, referencing a RippedFromTheHeadlines story about her putting on weight. In the music video, she's played by the plus-size model Trisha Paytas, and Slim lusts after her (as her then boyfriend Tony Romo), grinding against her, playing with her chubby belly and feeding her.

* In the manga version of ''Manga/AirGear'', this trope is used to first invoke and then deconstruct the UglyGuyHotWife trope; the fat and ugly Onigiri scores a beautiful girlfriend who is attracted to him because she's a ChubbyChaser. But then, when she sees that Buccha is even fatter than Onigiri, she dumps him for Buccha. Then she dumps ''Buccha'' for a third guy who's even ''fatter''. The "moral" here? If a relationship is based purely on one party appealing to the other's fetish, then that first party is in trouble if a third party who hits the second party's kink button even better comes along.
