Hollywood's Funniest Fat Men

Share

(Newser) – It jiggles. It droops. It covers naughty parts. Let's face it, fat is funny, especially when a guy knows how to work it. Super Tremendous lists the funniest fat men:

  • Jason Alexander: His George Costanza character on Seinfeld revealed the tragic life of "a short, stocky, slow-witted bald man."

  • Ricky Gervais: He made Americans laugh at British humor on the BBC version of The Office—even if they "didn't quite understand what he was saying half the time."
  • John Candy: "The undisputed king of movie comedies in the 80s."
  • John Belushi: A groundbreaking—no pun intended— fat comic, Belushi is "the reason that there's at least one fat cast member on every season of Saturday Night Live."
  • Chris Farley: His death was "pretty much the equivalent of the Kennedy assassination for teenagers" of the 1990s.

George isn't even that fat! Neither is Ricky Gervais! If were going the Seinfeld route, I'm sure Newman is the more obvious choice. Reply

Only Sam Kinnison from that group is actually funny. The others are just fat.
