* In the ''StarWars Saga Edition'' RPG, there's a simple way to estimate the challenge level of any given starship. Is it a fighter? It's probably low-challenge. If it has a CL of 16 or higher, there's a 99% chance the vehicle in question can cause a nasty localised eclipse, followed by reducing the eclipsed area to ash with its FrickinLaserBeams.

* Parodied in GundamBuildFighter, when during a match, the epitome of such trope, WaDOM, cannot utilize the small normal size pistol given to him, earning its pilot a quick loss.

** The movie version goes even farther, featuring a CombiningMecha ''formed from several of those''. Then plays with it by making this mecha the reincarnation of their founder [[spoiler: come back from the grave (again).]]

* The ''Götterdämmerung'' in ''IronSky'', the flagship of the Nazi space fleet (ItMakesSenseInContext). The guns on that monstrocity can take out a tenth of the Moon with each shot. However, the ship is ''too'' overpowered. Since the Nazi computer technology is so far behind, their ENIAC-sized machine can't hope to run all of the ''Götterdämmerung'''s systems. Then they get ahold of a smartphone.

* ''Anime/QueensBlade'''s Cattleya is this trope in festish form. She's [[GentleGiant tall]], [[HotShounenMom mature]], [[AmazonianBeauty muscular]], stacked [[BoobsOfSteel on front]], the back, and [[HartmanHips the sides]] and she wields [[{{BFS}} a sword that's as big as her]].

-> ''"[[FreudWasRight Leela, evolution has programmed our fabulous male brains to take anything anyone else thinks is important, and make it bigger!]]"''

* As [[TheKAMics Gertrude]] said when she got her Buntline special with 16 inch barrel, [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4828837/ "The bigger it is the more it hurts!"]]

** It probably says something that all of the Original Trilogy movies, along with ''Revenge of the Sith'', opened with a Star Destroyer, which is more than a kilometer and a half long. Other [[IncrediblyLamePun big]] contenders are the ''Executor'' (so big, it used ENGINES bigger than Star Destroyers), Ackbar's five-kilometer-long flagship, the three-kilometer Trade Federation ''Lucrehulk'' battleship, and the seven-hundred-meter ''Acclamator'' troop transport. And that's just the movies; the EU has things like [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/91/Maw.JPG the Maw Installation]], seen in comparison to a prototype Death Star, Centerpoint Station, which was 300 kilometers long, and the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Galaxy_Gun_egwt.png Galaxy Gun]].

* The Valzacard in ''SuperRobotWarsW'', which is a CombiningMecha made of two mecha... and two ''battleships''. Lined up with the rest of the [[OriginalGeneration Banpreso Originals]], the second largest doesn't even come up to it's ''knees''.
** Before the Valcazard was the Geant Chevalier from ''SuperRobotWarsDestiny''. In that case, it was more an instance of ''longer'' is better, clocking in at over one hundred meters long. And it's a ''RealRobot''. One ''longer'' than [[SpaceRunawayIdeon Ideon]] is tall.

** Played straight in later instances, like when Deus fuses with the Karma fortress to become Sakra Devanam Indra Deus, who dwarfs even the above mentioned Wyzen, as well as Augus's sword being able to extend his sword to up to 380,000 ''KILOMETERS'' in length.. [[spoiler: Then n the True Finale of part IV Nirvana DLc, Asura uses the same Mantra Reactor Wyzen and Deus used, now implanted into his body, to dwarf even them, and parry a "small" laser that would still have engulfed the planet, from Chakravartin's Giant Vessel form, which is so big it makes Galaxies seem like Small dots by comparison]].

* [[TouristTrap Balls of String]]. There are multiple places claiming to have the World's Largest Ball of String, and probably a very thriving rivalry among them all.
