==Personality==
'''Fat Bastard''' is a fictional villain from the [[Austin Powers]] films. He is played by [[Mike Myers]].
 
  +
He alludes to being bullied and mocked for his weight as a child, and in his depression and loneliness turned to eating, creating a vicious cycle. Subverted when his acknowledgment of this problem becomes an Ignored Epiphany, and he remains a Jerkass in the third film. He repeats the sob story there, implying he uses this trope to justify his behavior.

==Appearance==
==Physical appearance and behavior==
 
An immensely obese (weighing in at a metric ton) henchman turned Semi-Pro Sumo Wrestler hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard served [[Dr. Evil]] in his quest to defeat Austin and conquer the World. He is noted for his foul temper, his frequently breaking wind, and his unusual eating habits, namely a taste for babies (and anything that looks like a baby, e.g. midgets). He tries to refuse Dr. Evil's money for his services in exchange for eating [[Mini-Me]]. (A commonly repeated quote is him saying to Mini-Me "I'm bigger than you, I'm higher in the food chain! Get in ma belly!") He has a penchant for singing the Chili's Babyback Ribs song. Fat Bastard has problems controlling his defecation patterns, as evidenced by his constant remarks of "turtleheads" and "skidmarks." His lack of appreciation for others having to deal with his stench extends into a sort of self-pride about the subject, especially in regards to his flatulence and the "leavings" he produces for those performing his Sumo laundry duties. When participating in Sumo matches, he wears a tartan mawashi, which could potentially help to disguise his skidmarks.

==Biography==
==The Spy Who Shagged Me==
 
  +
When Dr. Evil goes back to 1969, he plants Fat Bastard in the British Ministry of Defense. Fat Bastard uses a special set of bagpipes to spew a knockout gas that knocks out the other guards, then proceeds to steal the mojo from the frozen Austin Powers, eventually handing it over to Dr. Evil.
Fat Bastard stole Austin's [[Mojo]] in 1969, leaving Austin impotent in 1999 during coitus with [[Ivana Humpalot]]. Secret agent [[Felicity Shagwell]] places a homing device in his anus after seducing him. However, the device is ineffective, having been passed during one of Fat Bastard's bowel movements. After Austin learns of Felicity's deed with Fat Bastard, he is bewildered that she was even able to sleep with him without being crushed. During his final assassination attempt against Austin, upon being prompted by Felicity, Fat Bastard can be quoted as saying "I eat because I'm unhappy and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now if you excuse me, there's someone I need to get in touch with and forgive: myself," after which he passes wind. He becomes frustrated and tries to kill Austin and Felicity anyway. Felicity incapacitates him with a kick to his testicles but she says it was for revenge for him calling her " crap" in bed. He groans next moaning " Right in the mommy daddy button!" Before collasping causing a small earthquake.
 
   
  +
Later, Fat Bastard has a one-night stand with [[Felicity Shagwell]], though she was only trying to get close enough to him to plant a tracking device on him, which she ends up inserting into his rectum. Unfortunately, he ends up defecating it into a toilet in Paddingston Station. However, testing the stool sample reveals the location of Dr. Evil's lair. He does, however, get the opportunity to mock Felicity for her 'crap performance' when they're captured.
==Goldmember==
 
Fat Bastard has left Dr. Evil's employ, relocating to Japan. There he becomes a sumo wrestler and, despite trying to go "straight," During his entrance he groans and complains that the diaper makes his nuts( testicles) rub together. During his match he twists his opponent's scrotum.
 
   
  +
After Austin and Felicity return to 1999, Fat Bastard attempts to kill them by disguising himself as a UPS Delivery Man and breaking into Austin pad. However, Felicity easily disarms him and gives him a swift kick in the "mommy-daddy button," knocking him out.
still occasionally carries out the odd job for Dr. Evil. This is seen by both Austin and Foxxy when he makes an exchange with [[Mr. Roboto]]. Eventually he loses all of his excess body fat, thanks to the Subway diet. He further expands to Austin and Foxxy during their film's premiere, "I've got a bit of excess skin though. And unfortunately, ma neck does kinda look like a vagina." He appears to be none the worse for wear, apart from his obvious loose skin, and even appears to have lost his stench and gained some sort of mental stability.
 
   
  +
A few years later, Fat Bastard quits working for Doctor Evil and tries going legit by becoming a sumo wrestler. He also tried to lose weight by going on "The Zone" diet. He ends up getting in a fight with Austin, who is looking for information on [[Johann van der Smut|Goldmember]], but loses when one of his wires breaks during a wire-fighting scene. Later, he succeeds at losing weight by going on the "Subway Diet" and ends up losing 180 pounds, though this does leave him with a lot of excess skin and a "neck that looks like a vagina."
==Health==
 
Fat Bastard is neither physically or mentally fit. He previously might have had stool problems. Austin makes the statement, "Fat Bastard left a floater." This could point to obvious signs his health was failing. Fat Bastard has even remarked on the stench of his own flatulence, describing it as a mix of carrots (presumably steamed) and vomit. He now is in far better health, aside from his loose skin, and subscribes firmly to the Subway diet, even citing Jared as a hero. It is unknown how Fat Bastard feels about Jared's current day shenanigans.

==Trivia==
==Reception and Censorship==
 
 
===Possible inspiration===
His politically incorrect name has caused some uproar, and has put some individuals in a precarious position when trying to identify him. Roger Ebert referred to Fat Bastard as, "We can't even say his name!"; and some film critics in conservative papers refer to him as "obese illegitimate child". A figurine released for the character lists him as "Fat Man" on the box. Nonetheless, Fat Bastard is one of the most beloved and well received Powers characters, having been the subject of multiple memes since his inception in 1999. Fat Bastard has been immortalized in pop culture, nearly to the same degrees as [[Dr. Evil]]. This is especially fascinating, considering they are portrayed by the same actor.

"Get in my belly!" - Fat Bastard

Stuart Hope, more commonly known as Fat Bastard, is the tertiary antagonist of the Austin Powers franchise. He is one of Dr. Evil's henchmen.

Personality

He alludes to being bullied and mocked for his weight as a child, and in his depression and loneliness turned to eating, creating a vicious cycle. Subverted when his acknowledgment of this problem becomes an Ignored Epiphany, and he remains a Jerkass in the third film. He repeats the sob story there, implying he uses this trope to justify his behavior.

Appearance

An immensely obese (weighing in at a metric ton) henchman turned Semi-Pro Sumo Wrestler hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard served Dr. Evil in his quest to defeat Austin and conquer the World.
