I think it's less a fat joke and more a "look how desperate she is" joke.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sure, she's dumpy. In crazy insane TV land.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's all relative. I mean, look at the amount of makeup on the religious people.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
FYI, my housemate asked this episode "Why doesn't the FBI agent go after the hot neighbor?" When I told him that here people referred to her as the dumpy neighbor he said you were all insane. He noticed her from the first episode.
Yeah, I thought she was gorgeous from the get-go, and thought the whole point was that Not!Helo is too buried in work to notice the hot girl next door.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, I read it as Mulder is too busy to notice Scully.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I didn't notcie her until this episode and to me she came off as more painfully shy than dumpy.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
What does dumpy mean?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So it's a fat joke?
Oh, no! I didn't think it was a fat joke at all. I thought it was obvious that she made her "leftovers" specially for Agent Helo. That's what was cute.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I had to pause the episode until I figured out who the convenience store owner was. It was Jeff from Chuck, right?
Still wondering from where I recognized Seth, the cult sidekick who set the fire...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I liked her outfit too, Steph. DH and both commented on her bodacious figure. But yeah, so far she doesn't have much to do.
I'm starting to weird out that Echo always says "Did I fall asleep?" after she's been wiped. A normal person varies what he says when he wakes up from a nap. Has she been programed to say that? And if so, why? Is it the equivalent to the bleep a Mac makes when you turn it on?
I'm liking Echo more now that there's more there there to like, but I have to say, how long has the Dollhouse been running? It seems like there's no way they can keep an Active in a tabula rasa state for 5 whole years. It's not just Alpha and Echo, Sierra and Victor too.
And oh dear, this is taking me down a whole 'nother line of thought, about another institution based on a failure to recognize the basic humanity of another human being. I'll be interested to see if the show plays up the Dollhouse staff's lack of perception/denial of the Actives' personalities.
