* The premise of ''[[Manyu Hikencho]]'' takes this trope [[Up to Eleven]]. The size of a woman's chest not only determines a woman's attractiveness but her wealth and worth in society as well. Small breasted women are outcasts and well endowed women are showered with wealth and power. |

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Ranka goes to the [[Beauty Contest|Miss Macross competition]] and suffers [[A-Cup Angst]] in the face of the competition, ''all'' of whom follow this trope to a T. There is also an infamous line said by [[Ms. Fanservice|Sheryl Nome]] ''while she's groping her own breasts''. |

* Yo-Han from ''[[Need a Girl]]'' makes extensive speeches about how Bigger = Hotter. He is very much a breast man. |

* ''[[Slayers]]'' sometimes get weird in this regard. Lina with quite good figure is called "flat" and is [[A-Cup Angst|awfully concerned]] about this. Of course, it's more understandable when compared to her usual companions -- that's either Amelia or [[Gag Boobs|Naga]]... |

* Jamie Schaffer, the [[Boobs of Steel|muscle]] of the ''Chaos Campus'' cast, has enormous breasts... however, they're not natural. She puts on a facade of being deep and "real", compared to her sorority girl comrades, but she's actually ''more'' shallow and vain than them and got, quote, [[Breast Expansion|"larger and larger breast implants"]] over the years to compensate for her small height. She's actually described in her bio as "[[Aliens|Ripley]] with silicone implants". |

* In ''[[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane]]'', [[Alpha Bitch|Chloe]] [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] this trope by wearing a padded bra to make her breasts appear larger. When she takes it off, we [[Fan Service|get to see]] that she's rather flat-chested. |

* In the first season of ''[[Eastbound and Down]]'', [[Jerkass]] protagonist Kenny Powers is obsessed with the ample breasts of ex-girlfriend April; in her first scene the camera zooms in on her cleavage as Kenny stares. In Season 2 he dates the gorgeous but less bosomy Vida, only to decide that he's "a tit man" and go back to April. |

* In one episode of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'', the current girlfriend of Charlie wants to get her sizeable breasts reduced due to back pain, to the horror of Charlie; the crisis (from his POV) is avoided when he tells her that once they're done people will notice her ass more - whereupon she decides to cancel the operation and keep her chest (and live with the backache). |
