* The second episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' features Nitz realizing he's put on the Freshmen Fifteen right before the annual "[=eXposed=] [=eXpo=]," an event part of Traditions Week where freshmen streak during the first snowfall of winter. It starts off by showing Nitz gleefully taking advantage of his student meal card in a GluttonyMontage. By the end of the episode he hasn't really lost the extra weight, but isn't worried about it when he streaks (especially because it's too dark and foggy out for anyone to notice his gut).

** ''From Dullards To Donuts'' focuses on Mr. Burns getting the Power Plant employees addicted to genetically modified donuts, which he then offers in abundance if the workers give up half their pay and benefits. Throughout the story, Homer and his buddies are shown sporting a BalloonBelly as a result of stuffing their faces all the time. The end then reveals they've all become morbidly obese, with productivity drastically down because everyone's either too fat to properly work or they're more focused on eating donuts. Coupled with how much Burns is spending on donuts, he scraps the plan and orders the donuts get their addictiveness and fat content lowered.
** ''Lisa in the Middle'' has Nelson Muntz moving in with the Simpsons. As a result of spending all his time repairing things around the house, Nelson's too exhausted to bully the kids at school. Since they can now use their lunch money to buy lunch, most of the students at Springfield Elementary have become overweight thanks to the cafeteria's grossly unhealthy food. Principal Skinner begs Nelson to become a full time bully again simply because there's no money to afford bigger desks to accommodate all the fat kids.
** ''Fly Away Homer'' has an HourglassPlot that shows Homer losing weight throughout the story while Marge and the kids fatten up from lounging around on a cruise ship without his antics keeping them busy.
