** Petronas Towers!!

** '''''BURJ DUBAI!!!!'''''
*** Yes, that's right. ''Four'' exclamation points. We went there.
*** Multiple exclamation points are [[{{Discworld}} the surest sign of insanity, you know.]]

*** You've heard of Cheops/Khufu's Pyramid, the 'great' one. Unless you're into Egyptology, you probably don't remember the names of the two others, do you? I don't. [[spoiler:Khafre and Menkaure]]

* EBay. Because people will be a lot more interested in buying your item if the name alone takes the whole screen.

** Alaska's still bigger.
*** Most of us in the USA don't count it because it's not in the continental United States.

** That was just a popular joke actually.

** Don't forget the Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster!

* In most of the ''DynastyWarriors'' and ''SamuraiWarriors'' games (and thus, by extension, in ''WarriorsOrochi''), each warrior can obtain 4 different tiers of weapons. Each higher tier has higher attack, awesomer appearance, and a noticeably bigger size -- hence, in those games, bigger really IS better. However, as a result, a lot of the warriors winds up with HILLARIOUSLY oversized weapons on the fourth tier. For example, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "The Devil" Shimazu]] ends up with a [[DropTheHammer warhammer]] whose head is bigger than his (impossible muscled and heavily-armored) torso, Sun Ce ends up with a pair of Tonfas that are longer than his legs, Kunoichi's [[DualWielding Dual Knives]] turns into Dual Longswords, and so on....

* Queen's blade cattleya is this trope in festish from. She [[GentleGiant tall]], [[HotShounenMom mature]], [[HotAmazon muscular]], stacked [[BoobsOfSteel on front]], [[BabyGotBack the back]], and [[HartmanHips the sides]] and she wields [[{{BFS}} a sword that's as big as her]]

* Parodied in ''Over the Hedge'' with a SUV:

** ''Jurassic Park III'''s ''Spinosaurus'' was bigger than ''T. rex'', because... well... ''T. rex'' just wasn't cool enough any more.

** Formula One in the 1980s subverts this somewhat. Per the rules, forced-induction engine sizes were capped at a minuscule 1.5 liters. Despite this, it was quite common for such engine to be able to produce up to (and beyond) ''1,500 hp''. The designers simply increased the size of the turbochargers to ridiculous extremes.

** Also, TimeCube. Insane rambling is much more convincing when ''presented'' in [+ '''huge script'''+ ] ''and randomly'' made bold '''and'''/or italic.

** This Russian fascination with all things [+ BIG+ ] predates and postdates USSR. Check out [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_bell this bell]] or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Cannon this cannon]]. [[CaptainObvious Or hell,]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Imperio_Ruso_zenith.PNG this map]]. Also, in addition to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba this bomb]], when the U.S. made a non-nuclear bomb with a big payload (the [[FunWithAcronyms MOAB]]), Russia made [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_of_all_bombs one with a bigger payload]].
