Line 43:
* [[Windaria]] Shadowland's militar has tanks and machine guns while Lunaria's has hover craft and crossbows. When the war starts, the former marches [[Curb Stomp Battle|more or less unopposed]] to the latter's capital.

* In a ''[[Garfield]]'' strip, John and Garfield try to one-up each other with sticks. It starts with Garfield giving John orders while holding a small stick. John pulls out a club to make it clear who the boss is, then Garfield leaves and comes back with a TREE, but is unable to hold it up.▼
* New!Chaos in ''[[The Open Door]]'' owes a lot of their [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomping]] to the [[Warhammer 40,000|canon!40k]] technology they inherited. If there is one thing those who criticize them as being [[God Mode Sue]]s tend to miss, it is that they win easily also because they are deliberately avoiding the universes with ''even Bigger Sticks'', such as ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.
* In ''[[An Entry With a Bang]]!'', while the ''[[BattleTech]]'' chaps have the [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] and the tougher armour, Clancy-Earth's effective BVR (Beyond Visual Range) capability is one of the key reasons why the latter has prevailed so far.

Line 74 ⟶ 70:
* Happened in ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' during the Ancients' war against the Wraith. The Ancients' bigger stick was their superior technology, which was eventually trumped by the Wraith's bigger stick: superior numbers. It got to the point where the Ancients started throwing all their resources into developing even bigger technological sticks (like murderous nanites, a power source that destroyed five-sixths of a solar system when it overloaded, and a device whose unfortunate side-effect was that it caused stargates to blow up), most of which would come back to bite their descendants in the ass ten thousand years later.
** Well, the Ancients are pretty much the poster boys for [[Neglectful Precursors]].
