Call them beefy, chubby, cuddly, or just plain big-boned – these iconic characters have made their way into the hearts and minds of millions of adoring fans. So who are the best fat cartoon characters on TV?
Here is our opinion. Who do we miss?
1. Homer Simpson
The original fat dad, Homer Simpson, does everything a good role model isn’t supposed to do, like downing a dozen donuts at a time and drinking too much beer with his friends at the bar. But maybe that’s what makes it so relatable. He may not be a textbook father figure to Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, but he’s refreshingly normal, and there’s a lot to be said for that.
2.Garfield
Who hasn’t had a day where they want to bury their feelings in pizza and cake? Garfield is a fat cat who lives like a king thanks to the willingness of his owner, Jon, to provide him with a constant flow of pasta, coffee and love. Most people don’t realize or remember that Garfield was born in the kitchen of Mama Leoni’s Italian restaurant, which explains his fondness for lasagna.
3. Fred Flintstone
He may have had a career in hard labor working as a brontosaurus crane operator at Slate Rock and Gravel Company, but all that sweat just couldn’t compete with regular trips to the drive-in for a big helping of mammoth. ribs
Fred was a true caveman, but his love for his family and best friend Barney always shone through.
4.Eric Cartman
“I’m not fat, I’m big boned!” and “I’m not fat! I just haven’t grown into my body yet!” It’s just two iconic lines spoken by Eric Cartman, everyone’s favorite great South Park resident. He’s the braggart kid that people love to hate, but it’s no surprise that he gets a little angry from time to time: he’s been stuck in elementary school for over 20 seasons.
5.Winnie the Pooh
Oh brother. What’s a list of body-positive cartoon characters without the endlessly adorable and challenged Winnie the Pooh? Pooh Bear may be chubby enough to make finding pants a challenge, but he’s a good friend to his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood and isn’t afraid to step face-first into a honey pot, and that’s pretty cool. incredible.
6. Pumbaa
Is Pumbaa really fat? The truly strong don’t survive for long in the wilds of Africa, but Disney’s smelliest warthog definitely has some mass in the middle, so it’s worth mentioning. Also, his tendency to touch the wind is hilarious, and everyone needs a funny friend with fangs in his gang, right?
7.Peter Griffin
He’s a Family Guy, kind of lazy, and a lot of fans think he’s inspired by Homer Simpson, so it’s fitting that Peter Griffin is a fat guy who loves his kids, his wife, and his beer. The difference between Homer and Peter is that Peter is much more clumsy, inappropriate, and impulsive, and that’s saying a lot.
