History Main / ChubbyChaser

* ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkochan'': Supo-o may be one as he fantasizes about Nikuko wearing fanervicey costumes and seems attracted to her.

* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinHD'': While rebuking Mommy Mearest's advances and proclaiming his love for Girlfriend, Boyfriend yells that he loves "fat bitches", even those that are not his girlfriend, but ''especially'' her. Fittingly, the depiction of Girlfriend in the mod is noticeably more chubby than her appearance in [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin the original game]], while her mother is more fit.

This is TruthInTelevision. Many ancient and modern cultures prefer hefty, moderately overweight women to skinny ones.[[note]] The likely reason was an overweight wife/mistress/harem girl or husband being a status symbol for the wealthy. You were considered very well off if you could afford to provide enough for your wife/husband to gain weight. Plus there’s plenty of evidence of fertility idols, called [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurine Venus figurines]] being large women.[[/note]] (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.

* Creator/AndyGarcia's lead in ''Film/CityIsland'' has plenty of family issues: in his teen son's case, it's his love of big women, 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.

* In her "Top Ten Disturbing Christmas Songs", WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick claims that she thinks fat guys are kinda hot... [[spoiler: she's only saying that so Santa will cover her grad school tuition fees.]]

* When ''Literature/TheGunslinger'' meets the [[PreacherMan preaching woman]] Sylvia Pittston, who weighs over 300 pounds, he described feeling a red lust for her that causes him to shake. The Man in Black had a more severe reaction, leading to Sylvia's brief impregnation. However, the fact that this happens to ''every'' man in town implies that [[LivingAphrodisiac something supernatural]] may be involved--especially because Sylvia herself is a [[FatBastard Fat Bitch]] and SinisterMinister who serves a ReligionOfEvil.

* ''Series/{{MADtv}}'': There's a sketch where an incredibly fat woman complains to her boss that one of her coworkers is sexually harassing her, but he's incredibly snarky and skeptical because of her figure. When she produces a tape recording of her coworker coming on to her, it turns out he's a chubby chaser. The boss immediately fires him not for the harassment, but because he can't have someone working for him "who is completely out of his fucking mind".

* One sidequest in ''Videogame/Yakuza4'' is, basically, a hunt for a Chubby Chaser. Akiyama's chubby-yet-cute secretary has suddenly gotten all depressed and claims that no man would be interested in her (not that she's really outright fat - by American standards, anyway), prompting Akiyama to try and prove her wrong by tracking down a man who likes 'em chubby. After some false starts, he finds one - working as a 'recruiter' for a Hostess Club, though not for long since his boss is fed up with him always bringing back the BBW's instead of the lithe beauties that such clubs generally deal in. [[spoiler:In the end, even though you convince this fellow to come back to your office, and introduce him to Hana-chan, it fails to noticeably improve her mood... since the reason for her depression is that she's in love with Akiyama, who—aside from being a hopeless playboy—has a decided preference for the traditional, slim body type.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Simpsons}}'', 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. This is actually discussed 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.

-->-- '''Music/{{Queen}}''', "Fat Bottomed Girls"

* The Music/{{Queen}} song "Fat-Bottomed Girls" is a cheery little song seemingly about a musician who was molested by his fat nanny as a child, giving him a life long fetish. The pretty groupies all kind of blur together for him, leaving him most excited by the fat ones. Even when he's old and washed up, he doesn't care: The fat bottomed girls are still there for him 'cause they have lower standards.
%%* 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 Dwarfs 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.

* One of the ladies from ''Waiting to Exhale'', Gloria, finds herself single when her husband comes out as gay. Luckily, Gloria's new neighbor is a fellow divorcée -- to a woman as large as she.

* 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 Dr. Jimmy 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.

* In ''Manga/ManlyAppetitesMinegishiLovesOtsu'', Minegishi, [[TheAce the most handsome, kindly, beloved guy in the office,]] has it ''bad'' for [[BigBeautifulMan Otsu,]] who can't figure out why the life of him why Minegishi is so fixated on him, let alone why he keeps giving him delicious homemade dishes and great snacks. Otsu doesn't see himself as attractive so he's suspicious of Minegishi's motives, but Minegishi absolutely loves Otsu's body, so much so that he collects round plush toys because they remind him of Otsu, and when Otsu considers going on a diet, Minegishi crumples to the floor in despair and begs him to not lose weight.

* On ''WesternAnimation/SonsOfButcher'', Ricky becomes enamoured with the World's Fattest Woman. Or at least, [[BuxomIsBetter certain parts of her that are enhanced by being fat]].

* In ''Literature/TheMoonMazeGame'', the standards of female beauty have reversed by the year 2085, with plumpness being the desirable trait in women. However, the ideal woman also works under a "Fit/Fat" model where her well-padded curves overlay impressive muscles and a blood chemistry maintained at the peak of physiological health.

* Riley from ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'' falls in LoveAtFirstSight with the rather plump Alice.

* Riley from ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'' falls in LoveAtFirstSight with the rather plump Alice. It's clear that he [[http://www.archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=600 "Always preferred something with a little meat on it"]].

* Humanity in the Wiki/SCPFoundation’s [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3520/ SCP-3520]] is implied to become this, in a way that is PlayedForHorror by focusing on the flipside of fat admiration: the destruction of Earth’s environment to make way for industrial farms to make more snack food.
