Annoying Younger Sibling: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* Shiro Kabuto from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' was Kouji's little brother. He was a hard-headed, hot-tempered, enthusiastic and nosy tag-along, and a [[Deadpan Snarker]] was constantly getting in trouble. Kouji found him annoying every so often, although it also may be because often Shiro seemed more mature than ''Kouji'' himself, and often he would point out the stunt his older brother was trying to pull might not be a good idea.

** Goro Makiba from ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' was also considered like a little pest for his older sister -Hikaru Makiba-. He was poking his nose where it did not belong and making remarks nobody had asked for, mainly about her relationship with [[The Hero]] Duke.

* [[Morality Chain|Mokuba Kaiba]], from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''

** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Shut up, Mokuba!]]

* Not a sibling, but for the rest Ed from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' fits this trope to a T.

* ''[[Durarara!!]]'' reveals that {{spoiler|Orihara Izaya}}, of all people, has a pair of teenaged twin sisters named Mairu and Kururi, whom he abhors. Of course, this seems only to concern him because everyone else likes his twin sisters over him: they're [[Cute and Psycho|a little]] [[Creepy Twins|off]] [[Single-Minded Twins|their rockers]], but [[Beware the Nice Ones|as long as you don't upset them]], they're fairly [[Moe]]. Even {{spoiler|[[Intergenerational Friendship|his sworn rival Shizuo]].}}

* Bud Hanson from ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' tends to get on his older brother Coby's nerves from time to time.

* Averted in ''[[PS238]]'', despite most of the main cast being preteens. Suzie Finster is however a straight example, being younger than the rest of the class. Also, a walking nuclear reactor with an internal body temperature that can melt lead.

* From [[Batman]], Tim Drake sees Damian Wayne in regards to this.

== Films -- Live Action ==

* Sherry's little brother in ''[[Matinee]]''.

* Dani in ''[[Hocus Pocus]]''. [[The Nostalgia Chick]] calls her a "beastly child".

== Literature ==

** Captain (later [[Majorly Awesome|Major]], later [[Four-Star Badass|Commander]]) Trouble Kelp is the LEP's "Golden Boy" [[Hero of Another Story|for a reason.]] Corporal ''Grub'' Kelp is named "Grub" [[Cowardly Sidekick|for a reason]]. The latter may involve filing complaints over [[Minor Injury Overreaction|hangnails]] and saying [[I Want My Mommy|"Mommy said"]] on the battlefield.

* ''I'm Telling'', a kiddie variant of [[The Newlywed Game]] that aired on NBC's Saturday morning schedule in 1987-1988; this show ''lived'' on pairing older and children and their annoying younger siblings, with many of the questions stylized to play upon this trope (not to mention begin arguments). Bob Eubanks-wannabe Laurie Faso (yep, he was a "he") was the host of this pale clone of the real thing, audiences agreed and it didn't last past one season. The child contestants (all ages 8–16, and stereotypical even by late-1980s standards) HAD to be embarassed when it showed up in reruns on the Family Channel from 1994-1996.

* ''[[Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House On the Prairie]]'': Carrie Ingalls, the third daughter of Charles and Caroline Ingalls, and in many episodes a thorn in the sides of Mary and Laura. Even though Carrie didn't get the spotlight very often, there were two specific episodes where the spotlight ''shined'' on her:

* Although both characters are adults, [[Royal Brat|Juan]] is definitely this to [[Magnificent Bastard|Cesare]] in ''[[The Borgias]]''. It doesn't help that Juan gets to be a soldier (as Cesare always wanted to be) and is heir to the family estate while Cesare, though older, and ''far'' more competent, has to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a [[Sinister Minister|Cardinal]]. But on top of that, [[Spoiled Brat|Juan's]] [[The Ditz|really]], ''[[Drunk with Power|really]]'' [[Troll|aggravating]].

* [[Bill Cosby]] has a routine called "My Brother Russell," revolving around a terrible night trying to sleep in the same bed as his youngest sibling.

== Video Games ==

* Inverted in ''[[Mana-Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy]]'' with [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Et being the source of irritation for her closer to Earth younger brother Enna.

* In [[Night Trap]], there is Danny, Lisa's little brother.

== Web Comics ==

* In the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'', former Guardian Bandit has an Annoying Younger Sibling in the "Roger Clinton/Billy Carter" way: Ozcar Vizcairno is an irresponsible adult whose outrageous statements and actions always seem to land him on the front pages of the tabloids... not to mention utterly shredding Bandit's [[Secret Identity]].

* Subverted with [[The Nostalgia Critic]]. While he ''is'' annoying, his big brother The Other Guy slaps him around and controls him for no reason other than for fun.

== Western Animation ==

* Chis to Meg in [[Family Guy]]. Stewie can be to both, although it is usually not as big of a deal because he's a baby. For example, Meg was only mildly annoyed when Stewie stole her gifts at her birthday party.

* [[Phineas and Ferb|Phineas (and to a lesser extend, Ferb)]] were originally meant to be this to Candace. You can see remnants of this in the first episode, where Phineas is a lot snarkier and goes out of his way to antagonize his sister. But [[Characterisation Marches On]], and now they're much more likely to want to help Candace out than annoy her.

== Real Life ==
