Quotes: « Mama Klump: Sherman, I think I do remember hearing something on TV about colon cleansin'. They say everyone should have one. I'm thinkin' about gettin' me an appointment and go down and get my colon cleansed thoroughly. » « Papa Klump: You want your colon cleansed? Fine, I'm gonna clean mine. » [lets a loud fart, and Ernie Klump Jr. laughs harder and harder] « Papa Klump: There. Now my colon is clean. I'm talking squeaky clean. » « Mama Klump: Cletus, that is disgusting. We're tryin' to have a meal and you wanna start breaking gas. Don't break gas and destroy our meal. » « Papa Klump: Don't tell me to stop! You're the one that brought up colon cleansin' and all that mess! » « Mama Klump: I did not say anything about breakin' gas! I said I was going to get my colon cleaned. » « Papa Klump: Don't you talk about putting a tube up somebody's ass, but I can't break wind. » « Mama Klump: I didn't say nothing about putting no hose up nobody's ass. Cletus, I said… » « Papa Klump: What you think a colonic is? You think you're gonna run your asshole by the car wash? » [Ernie Jr. starts choking from eating and out-of-control laughter] « Mama Klump: You're choking the baby. » « Papa Klump: As long as I pay the bills, I do what I want at this table. Case in point. » [lets another loud fart] « Grandma Klump: Who's that calling my name? » « Mama Klump: Yeah, I'll call you up if your name is… » [farts in finishing his sentence, then laughs in mockery] « Grandma Klump: Keep insulting me. » [picks up a knife] « Grandma Klump: I'll toss this between the crack of your ass. » « Papa Klump: Yeah. You know, I can go all night. » [lets another loud fart] « Mama Klump: Keep farting. I hope you fart until your asshole falls out. » [Cletus lets another fart, Ernie Sr laughs loudly and then Ernie Jr. manages to follow along] « Mama Klump: Oh, my baby too! » [Cletus lets another loud fart that this time sounds wet] « Papa Klump: Oops! Now, see what you made me do? » [starts running away clutching his pants] « Papa Klump: Goddamn it, I messed up my pants! » « Ernie Klump: Damn, Daddy. You rotten. » « Mama Klump: You've got to clean 'em yourself! » « Grandma Klump: Come on, Cletus! It ain't nuthin' but a short walk. You might walk over, but you limpin' back! I ain't no easy win, nigga! » « Buddy Love: What's wrong with that breath? I can smell it over here! Reggie, your breath is so stinky, people look forward to your farts. Breath smells like shit! Do you smell shit? » [sniffs] « Buddy Love: I SMELL SHIT! »

Plots: Grossly overweight yet good-hearted professor Sherman Klump takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love. Brilliant and obese scientist Sherman Klump invents a miraculous weight-loss solution. After a date with chemistry student Carla Purty goes badly, a depressed Klump tries the solution on himself. Though he instantly loses 250 pounds, the side effects include a second personality: an obnoxiously self-assertive braggart who calls himself Buddy Love. Buddy proves to be more popular than Sherman, but his arrogance and bad behavior quickly spiral out of control. More than anything in the world, timid Dr Sherman Klump, a rotund geneticist with a heart of gold, wants to shed the extra weight to win chemistry graduate Carla Purty’s affection. Too self-conscious about his obesity to make a move, Klump summons up the courage to take a sip of his unstable, highly experimental weight-loss potion, only to transform into something utterly unexpected: the handsome, lean, arrogant philanderer Buddy Love. As Buddy tries to woo defenceless Carla, inner Sherman must do everything in his power to thwart the obnoxious suitor’s plans. But can the nutty professor stop his super-confident alter-ego before he gets the girl?
