Big Fun

The big, fun, lovable fat guy. May be a Boisterous Bruiser depending on how much they like to fight and shout, or just a Gentle Giant. Often a king or other aristocrat whose wealth and lifestyle lends itself to fabulous feasts, a Chubby Chef who delights in his/her craft, or in contrast a modern young man whose weight makes him more identifiable. Depending on the fandom, he can also be a Big Beautiful Man. Almost Always Male it seems, probably because of the usual Double Standard about attractiveness and such and most likely classed as a Tomboy. If female, though, she's likely to be a Big Beautiful Woman and maybe a Sassy Black Woman, or often, simply a female variant. Contrast the Fat Bastard, which is when the fat person is, well... a bastard, and this trope's corollary Lean and Mean, when a skinny person is unpleasant. See also Fat Comic Relief. Nothing to do with the song from the musical adaptation of Heathers.
