Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]]'', the [[Amazonian Beauty]] [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]] [[Wrench Wench]] Moira Bascht and the [[Butt Monkey]] pilot Chuck Keith end up becoming the [[Beta Couple]] (or at least are implied to do so). Moira stands head and shoulders over Keith, and is obviously more muscular then he is.

* [[Dragon Ball|Krillin]] is noticeably shorter than his wife C-18 (who's the tallest female character in the show) and practically every other character of the series (Gohan was the same height as him when he was ''five years old'').

* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Tsubaki is noticeably taller than her meister Black Star, and both Thompson sisters are taller than Death the Kid. The girls are also quite a bit older.

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'', we have Tea, who is somewhat tall, and Yugi, who is pretty much a midget. In the [[Pool Episode]], Joey realizes how odd a ship of them would be.

* Pietro's parents in ''Popolocrois''. Doubles as [[Interspecies Romance]], since his [[Hot Mom]] is a dragon.

* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'': Sena's [[Not Love Interest]] Mamori is three inches taller then him.

** Sena [[Subverted Trope|considers Mamori]] [[Like Brother and Sister|as an older sister]], so it doesn't fit. Monta can be considered one, but it's one-sided.

* ''[[Steel Angel Kurumi]]'' and the 12-year old protagonist Nakahito.

* The protagonists of [[Houkago Play]]'s first volume.

 

== Comic Books ==

* [[DC Comics]]:

** [[New Gods|Scott Free]] and Big Barda. Awww, so cute.

** Also with Scott Free's Manager Oberon and Fire.

** Post-''[[Zero Hour]]'' ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' had Monstress and Element Lad, which might also count as [[Beast and Beauty]] except for the fact that Monstress doesn't have a "Beast" personality.

* Avatar Comics

** Christos Gage's ''Absolution'' has Alpha, a female [[Nigh Invulnerability|Brick]], well over six feet tall and happily married to a non-metahuman man of considerably more average proportions.

 

 

* Hyacinth Hippo and Ben Ali Gator on the "Dance of the Hours" segment of ''[[Fantasia]]''.

* Ted and Audrey from ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]].''

* In the opening sequence of ''[[The Triplets of Belleville]]'', the audience consists ''entirely'' of tiny men and their enormous wives.

 

== Literature ==

* Davy and the beautiful, tall laundromat owner in ''[[The Monkees]]'' episode "Monkees Get Out More Dirt".

* In ''[[Working Class]]'', Carli (played by Melissa Peterman, 5'10") gets an internet date (played by David Faustino, 5'3") to go to her boss's housewarming party with her. Numerous height jokes ensue.

 

 

** Sometimes with his brother Luigi, he alternates between being her size or shorter.

** Oh, and [[Captain Obvious|the page picture is of Mario kissing Peach]]. Imagine [[Marshmallow Hell|where Mario's face would be]] if he had not been standing on those books.

** Princess Daisy is more or less the same height as Peach. Rosalina on the other hand, is much taller (she is approximately the same height as Waluigi). Even more so with Rosalina, who was seen as a giant at the end of both ''Galaxy'' games, and the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series games classes her as a heavyweight despite her slender [[Princess Classic]] type delicate build.

* In ''Metal Combat'' (the sequel to ''[[Battle Clash]]''), the alien Zephyr has a huge and hideous wife named Pamela who is a good deal taller and wider then him. Even her mech is huge!

* [[The Napoleon|Shoma]] and [[Huge Schoolgirl|Natsu]] from ''[[Rival Schools]]'', though both have trouble [[Cannot Spit It Out|expressing those feelings]] and spend their time [[The Masochism Tango|arguing with each other]] [[Slap Slap Kiss|instead]].

*** Also, {{spoiler|Ninian (and Nils)'s parents. The mom was Aenir, a dragon woman; the dad was... Nergal, then a normal shuman shaman, and later the [[Archnemesis Dad]].}}

** ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|The Sword of Seals]]'': Fa and almost any male, but specially Elphin and Roy. Again, when she's in Dragon form.

* ''[[Warcraft]]'':

** Handsome stag/centaur Zaetar had relations with the four armed, three faced, giant stoney [[Cosmic Horror]] that is Princess Theradras. This also counts as an inversion of [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]].

* [[Dragon's Dogma]]. Due to the the game's main feature of Pawns (you create a main Pawn to be your constant battle partner/follower) you can create a tall/muscular/plump woman as your main character, and then make a short/skinny man as your main Pawn (or vice versa).

 

* In ''[[DMFA]]'' - Jyrras' parents: His father (a kangaroo rat) is about a third the size of his mother (a kangaroo). They met after the agency they had placed personals with [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_328.php got the species mixed up.]

* Crimeny and Fuschia in ''[[Sinfest]]''. He's barely up to her waist.

* ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' has [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/05262003/ Owen and Lakshmi.]

* The eponymous [[Hot Amazon]] Of ''[[The Challenges of Zona]]'' makes her reasonably normal-sized boyfriend Mentl look like a freaky little midget by comparison.

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', 3'2" halfling Belkar has sex with normal-sized human Jenny, and neither seems at all bothered by the size difference.

* The hyenas in ''[[Digger]]'' are all like this; hyena females are bigger and more aggressive than the males, like their [[Real Life]] counterparts. Most noticeable during Ed's backstory.

* ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'': The beautiful wonan whom they both once dated at Subway is double their height and doesn't even completely fit into the panel size ([[Stylistic Suck|intentionally of course]]).

 

 

* Riff Raff and his girlfriend Cleo from ''[[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats]]''.

* [[The Napoleon|Lucius Heinous VII]] and [[Gold Digger|Jez]] from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.

* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' Buzz is noticeably shorter then Jessie. It helps that they're both toys from different times and companies.

* [[Kids Next Door]], with Numbuh 3/Kuki Sanban and Numbuh 4/Wally Beatles, while Kuki is actually the youngest Operative in Sector V, Wally is the shortest, being around a head shorter than Kuki.

* Most of Rocko's [[Love Interests]] and dates from ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', with the exception of Claudette (also a wallaby). In fact, the most we ever see of Rocko's primary crush Melba is her legs.

* [[Eek! The Cat]]: Eek and Annabelle fit this trope to a tee. She's an obese pink southern belle of a cat who's as tall as a human (in fact, her owner is only heard once as [[The Voice]] welcoming her to her new home when she's let out of her cat carrier). In fact, a running gag is others telling him that his girlfriend is fat, but he doesn't see it; to him, she's a beautiful goddess.

 

== Real Life ==

* This is, as you might expect, [[Fetish Fuel]] for some people. [[I Thought It Meant|This is not related to]] (but still can cross over with) giantism related fetishes. Even if the girl's not bigger, many of these guys like it when a girl can kick their butts.

** There's also an interesting variation. Some men and women like to have ONLY the height and things related to height (such as who puts their arm around who) defy stereotypes and gender roles while preserving traditional dimorphism aspects otherwise, such as a 6'0" 260 lb strongman and martial arts type guy with a 6'3" 160 lb woman. It's almost like a [[Double Subversion]] in a way.

* Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum.

* [[Tom Cruise]] and either [[Nicole Kidman]] or Katie Holmes. Both are taller than ''he'' is. Of course, being taller than Tom Cruise isn't exactly that impressive, but still.
