Worst TV Fat Suits Of All Time

Fat suits are never a great idea, but sometimes they're especially not-great. That's where this list comes in.

Join us in looking back at 16 of the small screen's most ridiculous-looking fat suits from shows like 30 Rock, Desperate Housewives, Friends, Pretty Little Liars and Smallville.

Which faux figure elicits the biggest eye roll from you? Drop it in a comment below.

NEW GIRL

Ironically, you might find this picture in the dictionary under the word "true American."

INSATIABLE

You can defend Insatiable against allegations of fat shaming all you want — but don't even bother trying to defend Debby Ryan's fat suit.

MAD MEN

Assembling Betty's larger look required January Jones to sit through more than three hours of prosthetic applications per shoot. Something tells us Jones was downplaying the inconvenience when she simply said, "It was very challenging."

THE OFFICE

Are we crazy, or is Michael one tiny hat away from becoming Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons? Thankfully, this one wasn't supposed to look real.

SMALLVILLE

Amy Adams — yes, that Amy Adams — guest-starred in a 2001 episode of the pre-Superman drama as Jodi Melville, a meta human with the ability to absorb fat.

FULL HOUSE

If anyone in the Tanner household is looking for an extra pillow, they might want to check under Joey's costume in this flashforward sequence. (Yes, we realize how difficult that would be, but since when has Full House ever conformed to the rules of time and space?)

TO BE FAT LIKE ME

The special effects on Kaley Cuoco's season of Charmed were more realistic than this disguise her character wore for a social experiment in the 2007 Lifetime movie To Be Fat Like Me.

FRIENDS

Friends actually has the honor of being the only show to appear twice in this gallery, thanks to this fantasy sequence imagining how fat Joey would have gotten if he'd married Monica — and her cooking skills.

FRIENDS

Considering how many times this show revisited Monica's former frame, you'd think it would have at least tried to humanize her, rather than limit the character to a non-stop fat joke factory.

Then again, this was Friends.

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

The only thing worse than the name kids used to call Ashley Benson's character ("Hefty Hanna"!) was the padding she had to wear during flashback scenes.

ONCE UPON A TIME

There's no need to wonder what booty this pirate is smuggling under his shirt.

30 ROCK

The dance move pictured here occurred mere moments before Jenna collapsed to the floor in front of a live studio audience shouting, "Me want food!" (And the viewers... ate it up.)

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

The look on Barney's face here pretty much sums up our thoughts on the fat suit HIMYM stuffed Neil Patrick Harris into for this Season 5 episode.

SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH

The sitcom's third season included a bonkers episode about its titular witch developing a crippling addiction to... pancakes. It was a ridiculous premise with an equally ridiculous fat suit to match.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

The ABC drama gave us a "what if" episode in Season 6, which included this ludicrous fat suit for Teri Hatcher's Susan.

ONE TREE HILL

This CW drama went to some bizarre places in its final season, but the storyline surrounding Mouth's weight gain felt especially unnecessary. And mean!
