Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Fat Bastard's confidence is total and completely unearned, and that is the joke: a man the film has already told us weighs a metric ton, congratulating himself on his looks over a feast. It is a ready-made reaction line for anyone caught admiring their own reflection, and the delivery, thick Scots burr included, is half the fun.

Spoilers for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged MeShow the scene
In The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), Fat Bastard, the Scottish guard Dr. Evil planted in the Ministry of Defence, is first seen at home in 1969 tucking into a huge meal, delighted with himself. He crows about his sexy body and sings to himself as he eats, then offers chicken to Felicity Shagwell, who has come to plant a homing device on him on Basil's orders. He says the line again at Dr. Evil's volcano, taunting Austin about the night he supposedly spent with Felicity.
