Lard Lad also appeared as a major boss in The Simpsons Game (2007), where he was brought to life this time by Kang and Kodos and was defeated by Homer and Bart while Kent Brockman provided commentary. The level where Lard Lad is fought is humorously called "Shadow of the Colossal Donut". Lard Lad as a giant monster is a parody of other monsters such as Godzilla and also likely was directly inspired by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, being a cartoon mascot that would be the last thing most people would ever think of as an evil monster.
