Not engrish, but I remember playing Yume Penguin Moonogatrai, untranslated.

Just watching the cutscenes, all you can tell is that some pimp penguin won't let you date his hooker is you are a fatass.

The actual story is even worse than that.

Girl penguin's no whore, just a bitch. She's the one demanding that he be skinny to date her, and even if you rescue her from Pimpguin she ditches you for him if you're too fat.

>The player takes the role of a penguin named Penta, who is getting dumped by his girlfriend Penko, because he has become far too obese for her liking. The game follows Penta's quest to win back his ex-girlfriend by losing weight via collecting diet drinks and avoiding enemies. Penko's new boyfriend, Ginji, is trying to block Penta's attempt by dispatching enemies sent to force-feed him back to obesity.
