How about some love for the big guys? 

So they’re not exactly the most pleasing-looking characters in the entertainment medium. Big deal, right? This is a list to honor the fat guys (and one honorable lady) who are more than meets the eyes. Some are more brilliant than their slenderer counterparts, and some are the more affectionate, gentle giants who protect those around them. 

It’s brutal to be on the wrong side of the joke or be a target of humor, but none of these guys care, and shouldn’t. Please be aware that this is a personal list. Read on for some of my beloved fat guys who deserve a whole lot of attention.
