Line 14:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]'': the first people he kills are a giant with a [[Drop the Hammer|comically oversized hammer]] and a midget nicknamed "Wind".
* ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]'' has Jacuzzi Splot's bodyguards, Nick and Donnie. This might be a case of Big Guy, Bigger Guy, Little Guy. And of course [[The Chick|Nice.]]
* The Butler Zakenna from ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''. The tall one even has a long [[Forehead of Doom]] to emphasize his height!
* Edward Elric (the little guy, but [[Berserk Button|don't tell him I said that]]) and Alphonse Elric (the big guy) from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Notably, Alphonse is only big due to [[Animated Armor|extenuating circumstances]] and they are both quite consistently smart.
* Vegeta and Nappa from ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' were this, at least until Vegeta killed him.
* Gian and Suneo from ''[[Doraemon]]''. Though the leader role usually belong to Gian, since Suneo is scared shitless of him.
* [[Tsundere|Meryl Strife]] and [[The Ditz|Millie Thompson]] from ''[[Trigun]]'' are rare female examples.
* Waver Velvet and Rider from [[Fate Zero (Literature)|Fate /Zero]]. Of course, since Rider is a legendary warrior king on top of being a seven foot bear of a man, he doesn't settle for being the subservient one of the pair and dominates Waver from the moment he's summoned by him.
 
 
Line 27:
* Messrs. Shlubb and Klump from ''[[Sin City]]''.
* ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police]]''. Possible inversion, since Sam is the [[Big Guy]] but still the voice of reason holding Max (the Little Guy) back from indulging in "unnecessary violence" (loosely defined, since both Sam and Max are quite fond of solving problems with violence and gunplay).
* Franky and ''[[The Goon (Comic Book)|The Goon]]''. As in Sam and Max, Goon is the big guy but also the more sensible leader who reigns in his manic little partner(sometimes).
* [[Newspaper Comic]] ''Jumpstart'' has a big guy who has nearly a dozen other big guy brothers, one of whom is in the NFL. Their highly intimidating (single!) father is ''at least'' 200 pounds lighter and one head smaller.
* Hercules and Amadeus Cho from ''[[The Incredible Hercules]]''.
Line 37:
* Gwizdo and Lian Chu from ''[[Dragon Hunters]]''.
* [[Star Wars|C3-P0 and R2-D2]].
* [[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|Inigo and Fezzik]].
 
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 69:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[War CraftWarcraft]] 3'''s Goblin Alchemist hero is a goblin riding an ogre.
* In ''[[Arcanum]]'', half-ogres are employed by gnomes as bodyguards (this becomes a plot point later on).
* ''[[Drakengard]]'': Seere (a six-year-old) and Golem (Who's so big his attacks come from the sky)
* Kimahri and Yuna in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. Less noticeable now, but Kimahri is over seven feet tall (still short for his race) and probably wasn't much shorter when he traveled with Yuna when she was a child. Also, when summoning Ifrit, she sits on his shoulder for a second, then gives him orders.
* [[Evil Genius|Zexion]] and [[The Brute|Lexaeus]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. They [[Playing Withwith a Trope|both]] possess copious amounts of Brains ''and'' Brawn, seeing as Lexaeus is a [[Genius Bruiser]] and Zexion is a [[Badass Bookworm]].
** [[Birth By Sleep|Before that,]] Ienzo had Even.
* [[Shorter Means Smarter|Maloof]] and [[Husky Russkie|Mikhail]] from ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]''.
* [[Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong]].
** And before that, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.]]
Line 86:
* Bobble and Clank from the ''[[Disney Fairies|TinkerBell]]'' movies.
* Mugsy and Rocky from ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.
* [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Spongebob and Patrick]].
* [[Dragon Hunters|Gwizdo and Lian-Chu]].
* [[The Lion King|Timon and Puumba]]
Line 94:

* Yuzu and Nonki from ''[[Maryoku Yummy]]''.
* Mordecai and Rigby as well as Muscle Man and High Five Ghost from "Regular Show"
