* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', in the episode "The Fury", Yuki, Nicole Waterson's best friend from years ago, tempts Nicole to fight by telling her "You're not half the person I once knew! Your butt, on the other hand, is twice the size!"

* Knives calls Ramona a "fatass" in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', most likely out of jealousy and anger, as Ramona is incredibly thin in the film. ([[AdaptationalCurves She is, however, slightly curvy in the comics the film is based on.]])

* In ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'', bags of chips represent fat people.

* Early in the ''Series/FamilyMatters'' episode "Life in the Fast Lane", the cheerleaders' captain cites weight gain as the reason she doesn't think Laura should be on top in the pyramid cheerleader routine. [[LetMeAtHim Laura reacts by lunging at her the moment her back is turned, only for the other cheerleaders to hold Laura back before she manages to land an attack on the captain.]]

Other times, it's easier (no matter how {{lame|Comeback}} it is) to attack a person's insecurities. And it would be quite tough to find someone without a level of physical bodily issues or any insecurities thereof. So simply calling someone "fat" is usually enough to reduce them to tears, or at least get their attention, to perhaps make them double-check the mirror. Sometimes this can backfire, causing the recipient of the insult [[BerserkButton to get angry]] and even to carry out [[DisproportionateRetribution an act of physical violence against the insulter]].

Usually used to show the pettiness of the insulter; if the person they criticize is in fact rather thin, it comes off as desperate, and if they ''are'' a bit overweight, it just seems cruel. The person's reaction to the insult can say something, too. Ignoring the insult or replying with something a great deal wittier just shows how unimpressed they are, while taking it to heart can show the insultee's vanity or lack-of-confidence. Compare IAmBigBoned, the response that negates the insult without denying the observation. And if the character is FatAndProud, this becomes an InsultBackfire. {{Acrofatic}} characters are rarely on the receiving end of this (though they can use SelfDeprecation to invoke FatAndProud or LargeAndInCharge).

* ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'': Bunny is an [[ParodySue obnoxiously-perfect]] and slightly [[TheDitz ditzy]] neighbor who seems to breeze through life unfazed by any difficulty, so when she announces she is pregnant with twins, Wanda bursts into an EvilLaugh. Soon enough, Bunny is enduring increased difficulty in pregnancy: the twins "seem to have kicked into high gear, growth-wise" and [[TemporaryBulkChange so has she]]. She struggles to move, sinks heavily into Wanda's couch, looks buried and pinned under her mountainous belly, and peers uneasily over its curve. She's clearly dreading the next few uncomfortable months of pregnancy as the babies (and her already-giant belly) grow even bigger, so Bunny could use some sympathy. Instead, Wanda and Yolanda show backhanded kindness and laugh at their FormerlyFit friend [[BreakTheHaughty learning some humility]]. They offer help, yet continue to tease Bunny for being so huge.

* In ''ComicStrip/{{Shoe}}'' (a strip in which all the characters are birds), the Perfessor is called fat once, and retorts, "I'm not fat. I'm ''[[IAmBigBoned fluffy.]]"

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The AlphaBitch Pretty frequently criticizes Kaeloo and Eugly for their weight (although [[InformedAttribute Kaeloo really isn't that fat]]).

** He opens his review of ''Film/BoilingPoint'' with this.

* From a GagDub of ''Film/ToyStory2'':
--> ''Buzz Lightyear'': Woody, check it out. You see all them fine girls sitting up there? They're all my hos.
--> ''Woody'': You're fat, Buzz.
