In this episode of The King of Queens, entitled "Fatty McButterpants," Doug (Kevin James) faces the consequences of his unhealthy eating habits when he is hospitalized for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Carrie (Leah Remini) becomes concerned for his health and starts enforcing a strict diet and exercise regimen for both of them, much to Doug's dismay.

At first, Doug is hesitant to change his ways and resents Carrie for making him give up his beloved junk food. He sneaks out to a fast food restaurant and eats a giant burger, only to have a heart attack scare that sends him back to the hospital. This wake-up call makes Doug realize that he needs to take his health seriously, and he starts to put in effort to eat better and exercise more.

Meanwhile, Arthur (Jerry Stiller) becomes obsessed with a video game and spends all his time playing it, neglecting his duties around the house. Doug and Carrie try to intervene and get him to stop playing, but he becomes belligerent and refuses to listen to them.

As the episode progresses, Doug's dedication to his health regimen starts to pay off as he begins to feel better and lose weight. However, his progress is threatened when he is invited to a barbecue and is tempted by all the unhealthy food. Carrie has to step in and remind him of his commitment to his health, and he ultimately decides to stick to his diet.

Overall, "Fatty McButterpants" is a humorous and heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of taking care of one's health and well-being. The episode also touches on themes of addiction and obsession, as Arthur's video game addiction mirrors Doug's addiction to unhealthy food.
