Fat Bastard is a fictional villain from the Austin Powers
films. He is played by Mike Myers.

An immensely obese (weighing in at a metric ton) henchman hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard served Dr. Evil in his quest to defeat Austin Powers and conquer Earth. He is noted for his foul temper, his frequently passing wind, and his unusual eating habits, namely a taste for babies (and anything that looks like a baby, eg: midgets). He once tried 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 on the food chain! Get in ma belly!") In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
, during an assassination attempt against Austin, 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'll excuse me, there's someone I need to get in touch with; meself," after which he passes wind.

Fat Bastard had stolen Austin's mojo in 1969, leaving Austin impotent in 1999. After seducing and sleeping with Fat Bastard, secret agent and Austin's ally Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) places a homing device in his anus. However, the device is ineffective, lost and left in a toilet when he defecated. In the end of the second film, he attempted to kill Austin (as mentioned above) but Felicity incapacitated him with a kick to his testicles.

In the next film, we find out that Fat Bastard has left Dr. Evil's employ, relocating to Japan. There he becomes a sumo wrestler, and despite trying to go straight, he still occasionally carries out the odd job for Dr. Evil. Eventually, by the end of Austin Powers in Goldmember
he has lost all of his excess weight, thanks to the Subway diet. However he can be quoted as saying: "I've got a bit of excess skin though. And unfortunately, ma neck does kinda look like a vagina."

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.

Some of his most memorable quotes are "Get in my belly!", "Where's the shitter? I got a turtle head pooking out", "I got a crap on deck that could choke a donkey." and "I'm dead sexy!"

The name appeared in British television well before Austin Powers, to refer to the comedian Alexei Sayle, who is unknown in much of the rest of the world.
