List the movies/shows that come to mind with overweight male and female central characters (let's cut out christmas movies). Im finding it hard to think of overweight female characters at all, though I don't watch many t.v shows or movies.
Shallow Hal (f)
Pick of denstiny (m)
Dune (m)
The simpsons (m) & family guy (m)
Vicar of dibly (f)
Magda from Kath and Kim (f)
SMBC's James (m)
The little mermaid, the octopus (f)
Professor Klump (m)
erm.... I'm scrapping the barrel here, I'm down to internet comedy sketch shows.
List the movies/shows that come to mind and we'll see (no searching the net). And add them to the list
Are the males central characters overweight, smart, and virtuous though (except for santa's)? I can't think of one. (edit: Professor Klump, I seem to be thinking of crappy movies where the weight is a central plot point)
