History Main / FatSlob

* Mr. Maurer from ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', albeit not quite how it's usually portrayed. His colleagues complains about his never showering and he tends to smoke and eat quite a bit. However, it's played a bit differently than normal, as he mentions that his family left him because of how he lives, but decides that he'll clean himself up in hopes of getting them to come back. [[spoiler: He gets murdered before he can attempt this.]]

* Dennis Nedry from ''Film/JurassicPark'', if only because his desk is full of discarded packages.

* Averted in ''Literature/AConfederacyOfDunces'' as [[FatBastard Ignatius]] bathes regularly, mostly as a chance to [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbate in private.]]

* Roger the Alien in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' constantly lays around in the house, eats junk food, drinks alcohol, and takes all sorts of drugs. Stan even refers to him as a "gross bowling pin".

%% * Control Freak from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.
* Cyborg and Beast Boy fit this trope to a tee in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''--they eat non-stop and deliberately refuse to have any manners. Things get weird when, after they [[TemporaryBulkChange grow much fatter]], their bellies become sentient and take control of their bodies like [[PuppeteerParasite parasites]]. Robin, Starfire, and Raven have to save the day by teaching Cyborg and Beast Boy how to savor their food, which robs the evil stomachs of their power.

%% * Patrick Star from ''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants [=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]]]''.
* Homer Simpson (eats like a pig and is and gets drunk), Barney Gumble (the town drunk), Comic Book Guy (eats a lot and spends all his time lazing around with his geeky stuff), and Chief Clancy Wiggum (big eater and out of shape) from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.

%% * Harold Berman from ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''.
%% * Kendra Krinklesac from ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''.
%% ** Cleveland himself qualifies in some episodes. One starts with him literally doing nothing for an entire weekend except sit on the couch in his underwear, drink beer and eat snacks while all the other characters move around him in sped up animation.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Peter Griffin. He always says something inappropriate at the wrong times and will always try to fart anywhere and at anyone. He will also get drunk at any chance he can get.
** In the two-parter "Married... with Cancer," Brian [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin marries a woman with cancer]], figuring that she'll be gone soon -- only for the illness to go into remission, leaving him stuck with her. Peter shows him the magic of being a husband and explains that every married man, no matter what they seem to look like, is actually FatAndProud; Brian relaxes and [[TemporaryBulkChange balloons to a much larger size]]. Unfortunately, he takes the idea too far and begins eating and drinking non-stop, gradually becoming a lazy ball of lard.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' reveals that Larry used to be a fat slob (and proud of it) before getting a new car, a girlfriend and a job. When the titular character causes him to lose all of these things, he has a relapse.

* ComicBook/TheKingpin is an aversion (he's evil, he's not actually fat and he's not a slob), but at one point it's revealed that he employs one of these as a body double. Said body double lives in a secret apartment inside Kingpin's building, and is supplied with all the junk food and cable TV he wants. When forced to go underground to escape Doctor Octopus (during his tenure as the Superior Spiderman), Kingpin kills his double and leaves his body to be burned beyond recognition in a fire, allowing him to fake his death.

%%* Dennis Nedry from ''Film/JurassicPark'' (behavior #4, anyway)
%% * Fat Bastard in the ''Film/AustinPowers'' series: definitely all of them.
%% * Mr. Creosote in ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'': #1-3.

%% * [[Franchise/StarWars Jabba the Hutt]]. Justified, due to Hutt aesthetic standards.
%% ** And [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} Pizza the Hut]], with toppings falling off and everything.
%% * The Warlock, Kevin Smith's character from ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'', is definitely #4 (his basement is covered in junk, though some of it is working electronics), with some added insinuations of 1 and 2.

* ''Film/OsmosisJones'': [[Creator/BillMurray Frank [=DeTorre=]]] is a {{Deconstruction}} -- his horrendous diet and hygiene causes tension with his daughter Shane and nearly kills him.

* ComicBook/TheKingpin is an aversion (he's evil, he's not actually fat and he's not a slob), but at one point it's revealed that he employs one of these as a body double.

* Lt. Max Eckhart in ''Film/Batman1989'' and Detective Arnold Flass in ''Film/BatmanBegins'' (but not in ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne''). They may have been [[{{Expy}} inspired]] by Harvey Bullock.

* Oscar Madison of ''Series/{{The Odd Couple|1970}}'' is a rather mild example.
* [[FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit J.D. Hogg]] from ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' exhibits behavior #1, if none of the others.

* Tharqa of ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie''.
* ''Webcomic/MurryPurryFreshAndFurry''. Making a cameo appearance across a story arc, Princess Aurelina takes this trope so far that she literally has slaves to lift her arms and is constantly convered in food slurry.

* Control Freak from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.

* Harvey Bullock from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. ''A Bullet for Bullock'' reveals he's surprisingly light on his feet and a dangerous combatant, however.

* In ''Literature/StarIsland'', Bang Abbott is flabby, tends to sweats a lot and rarely showers.

* Oscar Madison of ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' is a rather mild example.

It is perhaps worth noting that there is some TruthInTelevision to this trope. Unlike muscle, fat is extra mass that does not help you move. It adds to your inertia and reduces your agility. The more massive you are, the more difficult it is to perform delicate tasks, such as, say, eating neatly. Needless to say, depictions of this trope are nuanced and complicated. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And that's all we're going to say on the matter.]]

* The aptly-named "Fatties" in ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' are ubiquitous throughout the setting, known for their impossible girth and the wheel tucked under their stomachs to allow them to actually move (known as a "belliwheel"). This isn't so much a result of [[BigFatFuture future-tech encouraging gluttony and sloth); Fatties are a ''subculture'', the result of the crushing boredom of Mega-City One's populace leading them down various bizarre roads. (Fatties are one of the ''less'' bizarre, longer-lived fads in the city.) Some Fatties are close to being ''athletes'', as eating contests are SeriousBusiness in Mega-City One.

* There's an entire culture group of these in the ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' comics, who all ride around on motorized scooters and are essentially just filthy, fat wastes of space.

* [[WickedWitch Gruntilda]], the BigBad of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', has several [[{{Squick}} abhorrent]] habits that vary from save file to save file. For example, the player might learn she washes her hair with baked beans, engine oil, or even ''rancid milk''. [[spoiler: And you need to memorize them all, because [[DepravedGameShowHost they're on the test]].]]

* Stockholm police officer Evert Bäckström is the archetypical fat slob in the [[Literature/{{Backstrom}} novels by Lief G.W. Eriksson]]. Among other things he manages to keep a diet going for perhaps three days before lapsing into his previous unhealthy fast-food diet. He is also in the habit of rummaging in his laundry basket for the least nasally offensive underpants.

Folks like this are usually bad guys, but ''not'' always. If they're on the good guys' side, however, it's almost always a case of GoodIsNotNice. Most guys like this are incompetent and lazy, but not all of them; a few {{Genius Slob}}s and {{Acrofatic}} types may be included.

Generally played as AlwaysMale. This character's DistaffCounterpart is "the FatGirl".

* Cyborg and Beast Boy fit this trope to a tee in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo.''

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'', Steven Mandragora, the villain from "Double Date" is introduced devouring a plate of oysters, slurping them into his gaping maw and letting the juice trickle down the sides of his mouth. As Black canary would say, "I'm sorry, but ''ew''." Then again, when she actually snaps and punches him she finds it's "like hitting a brick wall." Mandragora is an expy of Tobias Whale, who is himself an expy of ComicBook/TheKingpin.

* Igneous Cutwell in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/{{Mort}}'' is a minor example; he's probably not ''that'' fat by wizard standards, but his robes have more stains than mystic symbols and his shop has a half-eaten pizza lying on the chair and the run-off from treacle sandwiches on the desk. As ''[[UniverseCompendium The Discworld Companion]]'' puts it: "He enjoys food, although not to the extent of actually preparing any; he more or less grazes on whatever comes to hand".

* Harvey Bullock from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

* TheKingpin is an aversion (he's evil, he's not actually fat and he's not a slob), but at one point it's revealed that he employs one of these as a body double. Said body double lives in a secret apartment inside Kingpins building, and is supplied with all the junk food and cable tv he wants. When forced to go underground to escape Doctor Octopus (during his tenure as the Superior Spiderman), Kingpin kills his double and leaves his body to be burned beyond recognition in a fire, allowing him to fake his death.

* ''WhenEvilCalls'': The fat kid who wishes to be thin is wearing a very scruffy uniform, exhibits JabbaTableManners, and exudes a general air of slovenliness. He looks at a flier for a weight loss program, but attempts to take a magical shortcut instead.
