It's the natural progression. Eat lots, and you blow up.

With zombies, it's just more explosive due to the fetid gas buildup.

Well I imagine a skinny zombie blowing up won't be that effective.

A fat zombie has room for gas, bile, and other little surprises to unleash on careless survivors. Like a piñata!

To add a bit of spice into the mix. Some people get bored with just the regular ambler or the fast zombie

Because not every human is skinny, and I guess it would be weird if a skinny zombie blow up.

I can't think of any other games that have that....

Besides, it's fun. Like poppin' a balloon filled with gross stuff!

If there were skinny ones that blew up, it wouldn't be as fun. It would be like popping bubble wrap filled with gross stuff.

That is very funny my friend, and very true, OMG a fat zombie came into my room yesterday but then exploded!!!!! I think I might be infected by a ficticious disease! They explode cause they eat too much human brain.

Well there are variations of it. Dead Space for example had a necromorph that exploded and released a bunch of little zombie things.

King Henry VIII famously (this is factual stuff!) exploded in his coffin after years of gluttonously eating. All the fat and gasses built up inside him and a few days before his interment he blew up inside his coffin. Zombies are all based off of very deep scientific studies, you see?

You also have to have variation. Scrawny midget zombies are still zombies but it would get awfully repetitive shooting those over and over again—fat zombies liven things up.

He's probably the one zombie that's eating all the brains. Notice how all the other zombies are skin and bones? No dinner for them. Fatty hogged it all. ;)

those didn't really explode as much as hatch those little tiny necromorphs that are a pain in the ass, and again they don't explode they crawl out when you don't dismember them properly, the exploding ones are the skinny ones with the explosive sacks on their arms, anyhow I think those necromorphs are fat simply because they morphed to incubate those little necromorphs, not because those people were fat, L4D zombies are fat and explode because the person was fat
