As a 10 year old kid watching this, watching Bruce binge eat that whole cake was funny yet disturbing. Even watching it today is painful lol

Not to mention the kid was already overweight, now he'll probably get diabetes.

I don't think binge eating once would lead to diabetes, but still. He probably got really sick, threw up, and had a bad tummy ache

I think it’s funny by today standards he wouldn’t even be considered fat.

[–] Sapphirelight (359) 5 years ago

He wouldn't?

[–] MrMovie (852) 5 years ago

No not really. Today he would just be considered chubby or slightly overweight. Back in the 90s he was huge, but for today’s standards he’s basically normal.

I hate that scene because I've always hated cake.
