Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Akela's handler forces her to work for HYDRA under threat of Explosive Leash, and is deduced to be heavyset by his typos as a result of large fingers. Subverted when he turns out to be just as Trapped in Villainy as Akela
The French thriller series Braquo has the morbidly obese Commandant Roland Fargette, who is constantly getting in the protagonists' way (although most of the time, they pursue the same objective and Fargette just happens to be on the more law-abiding side). Season 3 gives him a more positive role as he is shown being very active in the hunt for Vogel and actually manages to corner him, but then Orianne shoots him.
The Marshal from "The Mutants", an obese human colonialist who refuses to relinquish his power over an apartheid-like regime.
However, basically subverted in the Eighth Doctor Adventures books. The Doctor's Worthy Opponent Sabbath (who serves as an expy of the Master, but more reasonable) is rather on the chubby side of Stout Strength, because he just doesn't care about his appearance (for the same reason, his hair is so short as to almost count as Bald of Evil). Once in a while, other characters make unflattering remarks about it, but only rarely. And it provides for an excellent Paper-Thin Disguise opportunity in one book, where with a suit which is only slightlyBigger on the Inside, he almost effectively disguises himself and proves that the Doctor doesn't realize that humans can lose weight or something.note ‘Your suit distracted me for a while,’ he added. ‘I couldn’t understand how you managed to squeeze your rather ample form inside it.’ He falls just short of being Affably Evil, and has a number of Enemy Mine situations with the Doctor. He just happens to be quite evil and quite large.note And Big Eater Fitz, who is in actual fact described as looking like he's "made of pipe cleaners", seems to eat more than he does, so Sabbath is hardly a Villainous Glutton.
"Aliens of London"/"World War Three": The Slitheen, who are already large in both height and girth in their true form, have to Kill and Replace overweight humans because the compression technology that allows them to fit inside their Human Disguises can only go so far.
"The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances": Mr. Lloyd, the unpleasant man whose house Nancy has chosen to steal food from because Lloyd has found a way to steal rations during the Blitz.
"Love & Monsters": Victor Kennedy, aka the Absorbaloff, is unpleasant and fat in both his human disguise and his true form. He's from Clom, the twin planet of the Slitheen homeworld Raxacoricofallapatorius, to boot.
"Partners in Crime": Subverted by the Adipose. Sure, the species are comprised of fat-cells, but the villain helping them get born is extremely thin and the only way for them to breed is for people to lose weight. If people were happy with how fat they were, there would have been no problem.
There's a character on Freaks and Geeks who's overweight, a geek, and has a medical condition that makes him smell bad. The three main Geeks avoid him for the first half of the season, but once he is paired with Sam (instead of Sam's crush) he confronts Sam, and he is seen hanging out with them occasionally throughout the rest of the series.
Interestingly enough, in a flashback episode, the character was described by Phoebe as "cute naked guy" who was just starting to put on some weight. By the time of "The One Where Monica Gets a Room-Mate", he was fat.
Deconstructed by Robert Baratheon, who isn't an evil man, but is still an obese hedonist, an incompetent king, a neglectful father, and a terrible husband (though his wife is just as vicious to him). Robert was a better man in his youth but really let himself go physically and morally after losing Lyanna Stark and being stuck with a throne and a wife he didn't want.
Subverted by Hot Pie, a chubby boy who bullies Arya (alongside skinny Lommy) to project strength but backs off and becomes quite friendly later.
Played straight with Rorge and Biter, who are both fat and stupid criminals from King's Landing.
Hightown: Osito is obese, and also the stone-cold hitman of a drug kingpin.
Exception: on House, Chase is called out repeatedly for being a jerk on the subject of the overweight patients he treats. In a later episode — "Que Sera Sera" — the team's conviction that their patient's morbid obesity was responsible for his ailment caused them to come quite close to not diagnosing it at all.
In the 90's BBC miniseries House of Cards, Ben Landliss. Landliss is loud, crude, and based off of Rupert Murdoch.
Julius Caesar (2003): Pothinus, the eunuch vizier of Ptolemy, is noticeably overweight, which is used to make his status as an Evil Chancellor more obvious.
Season 1 Big Bad Bo Crowder is a heavyset, though still physically powerful, former Harlan crime boss who is willing to rack up a considerable bodycount if it means regaining control of the county, massacring his son, Boyd's, followers, and gutshooting his nephew, Johnny, when the latter betrays him.
Season 2 has a rare female example in Evil Matriarch and season Big Bad Mags Bennett, a fat old lady and marijuana dealer who rules Bennett township as uncrowned Feudal Overlord, poisoning or otherwise disposing of anybody who gets in her way.
Averted in Lost, which has been fairly sensitive dealing with Hurley's obesity. While not often addressed directly, a major part of Hurley's character is guilt related to his weight. He was previously involved in a deck collapse in which two people died. He refuses to ration the food, then is found to have hoarded some. In the fourth season finale, Frank comments that the helicopter needs to shed a few hundred pounds. The camera focuses on a conflicted Hurley, and then Sawyer jumps from the helicopter so Hurley won't have to.
Fairly sensitive? Maybe in season 1, when Hurley was a character with many traits (decent, kind, somewhat crazy, obsessed by the numbers...) who also happened to be fat. In season 2, his being fat became the focal point of his character — the most important thing about him, what caused his mental illness, his Fatal Flaw, etc. And all those Sawyer fat jokes — sure, James was still a Jerkass, but Hugo's weight was by far his favourite target. Then there was that bit about Libby falling in love with him, and after she is revealed to be a former patient in a mental hospital — implying that an attractive young woman would fall for an obese guy only if she's not completely sane. After season 2 it got better, admittedly.
Bulk, one half of Those Two GuysMighty Morphin' Power Rangers starts of as this. During his early days, Bulk as an arrogant bully who liked to pick on the Ranger teens, especially The Smart Guy Billy. Most of his time was spend trying to ruin whatever charity project the Ranger teens were organizing, only for the scheme to backfire, making himself look like a fool. Starting from the third season, however, both he and his buddy Skull join the Angel Grove Junior Police and develop into well meaning but inept buffoons. From this point onward, Bulk falls more into the category Big Fun.
Inverted/Avoided in Mike & Molly; both of the main characters are overweight, but generally kind (if snarky) people; sometimes the kindest ones on the show.
Don Dornero, the Big Bad from Mirai Sentai Timeranger is an obese humanoid whale-like alien and the leader of the criminal Londerz family.
Dale "The Whale" Biederbeck, a recurring nemesis from Monk. Think of him as an obese Moriarity or a bigger Kingpin if all that muscle was actually just fat.
An episode of NCIS: Los Angeles features a very fat fellow who survives a shooting at his office and runs to Mexico to be with his extremely attractive girlfriend...until it turns out that he was in on the shooting to cover up the fact that he was helping a fake army delta unit defraud the government of millions of dollars.
Pipo De Clown: Dikke is very fat (his favourite food is noted to be pie) and craves more wealth and power in spite of already being quite well-off himself. Pipo also left his circus because he was very greedy and abusive.
The Power (2023): Tatiana's husband Viktor Moskalev is obese, started "dating" her when she was only in her late teens or early twenties while he was decades older, later ruling their country Carpathia harshly, especially mistreating the country's women.
Newman from Seinfeld. He's clearly got the "bastard" part right, being out for everyone, and his obesity often causes him to lose his breath and start panting from exhaustion in the middle of his angry, nonsensical rants. (Fortunately, if that doesn't shut him up, giving him a Little Debbie snack cake will make him go away.)
One episode of The Shield had Dutch interrogating a massively obese rapist. Dutch is able to get him to confess by needling him about his weight, eventually provoking the man into trying to strangle him.
In The Sopranos, Tony Soprano and many other mobsters are very noticeably overweight or even obese. Tony even calls other people "fat fuck". Averted with Bobby Baccalieri, who's both the fattest mobster and the Token Good Teammate.
