Felix has a chance to direct a TV commercial for a fat reducing pill. When the original subject drops out Felix volunteers Oscar to wear a fat suit and fill in.

We are told that Oscar was once a 300lb man and Felix still carries a picture of him from those days. An example of how the show would often mess around with the chronological history of characters. Which doesn't really matter when the comedy is this great, and this is a very funny episode. John Byner guest stars as the eccentric president of the diet pill Fat-a-way. The funniest scenes are Oscar in the fat suit, trying to sit, stand and tap dance! The final scene shows Felix promising never to embarrass Oscar again, then he immediately asks him to put on the fat suit for Leonard's birthday party!
