A classic, almost timeless, character pairing, among The Oldest Ones in the Book. Two guys who are often Heterosexual Life-Partners, and usually embody the Fat and Skinny trope. That's just the start of the bundle of tropes these two embody. This trope describes a pair of guys who always fight together, are best friends forever, and quite often have a very obvious hierarchy: the Little Guy is typically the one in charge — unless, of course, he's a "Mini-Me" to the Big Guy. The Big Guy usually plays the Dumb Muscle role, but there's a catch, and this is important: oftentimes, the Big Guy will have some pretty good ideas. The Little Guy often ignores the Big Guy's suggestion, only to come up with the idea himself just a split second later, as with Timon and Pumbaa of The Lion King (1994) fame. Even if he's not obfuscating, meaning he really is just a big dumb lug with occasional brainstorms and he often doesn't know his own strength, the Big Guy has many a flash of insight. The Little Guy is usually listed first, since he's the leader, and they are always listed together, as if they are one entity. In fact, some episodes may center on the fact that they can't live without each other. Although these guys are seen most often in kid's shows, they are also played seriously. If this is a case of Brains and Brawn, the Big Guy is usually the Brawn, and the Little Guy the Brains. It's almost never the other way around, but in some cases the Big Guy can be rather smart too. Almost always a case of Smart Jerk and Nice Moron as well. See also Those Two Guys, One Head Taller, Huge Guy, Tiny Girl, and Tiny Guy, Huge Girl. Super-Trope for Little Guy, Big Buddy, where the bigger of the two protects/looks after the smaller, and Bully and Wimp Pairing, where the bigger one bullies and manhandles the shorter one. Add a skinny guy and you've achieved a Big, Thin, Short Trio. |

Dark Souls: Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough show just how deadly these two guys can be. Ultimately subverted, at least in the case of Smough as it's strongly suggested that he'd held a hidden disdain for Ornstein as a result of being denied membership into the Knights of Gwyn. If you happen to bring down Ornstein first, Smough will finish him off instead. | |

Cucumber Quest: Mutemaster and Noisemaster are a villainous Big Guy and Little Guy, respectively. They are the two Disaster Masters of the Melody Kingdom, and they were created at the exact same time, meaning that they have a special bond compared to other Disaster Masters. The difference between the two doesn't really seem to be in intelligence, though—rather, it's how many lines they have. Mutemaster (as the name suggests) doesn't really speak as much as talks in "mmm"s and grunts (through Noisemaster seems to have no problem understanding him). Noisemaster (again, as the name suggests) is the talkative one, putting on a DJ-like persona to have fun with people while also talking about leveling cities and killing thousands. | |

Discworld has Sergeant Colon and Corporal Nobbs, and Mr Pin and Mr Tulip. Note that Colon actually outranks Nobby, which inverts the usual ranking of this trope. The puny Nobby is somewhat less dumb than the overweight Colon, however. Vimes and Carrot too, although it's more a case of big guy, normal guy. |

Donovan Dijak and Jay Lethal were a classic example during the House Of Truth's second Ring of Honor incarnation. It was somewhat subverted with Dijak's former partner Joey Daddiego, who was also much shorter than Dijak but a real power house wrestler while Dijak was towering but was like a super junior scaled up. | |

The Transformers went a little nuts with this late in the series when the Nebulan arc started, with many big Transformers having a pint-sized partner for some reason. The Headmasters were big guys with a little guy - the driver of the vehicle form for Autobots, the trainer of the monstrous form for Decepticons - who turned into the head of the big guy's robot form. With Target Masters, the little guy turned into the big guy's weapon. Power Masters were little guys who provided a special engine for the big guy that enabled said big guy to transform. | |

Knights of the Old Republic: Mission (a slightly-built Twi'lek teenager) and Zaalbar (a BIG Wookiee adolescent) look like Little Guy, Big Buddy, but they're really closer to this trope. Zaalbar isn't stupid by any stretch, but he's painfully shy and can't speak Basic or Huttese (understands them, but his species lacks the ability to speak them), even remarking to the player character that he can't be much help unless you need something broken. This leaves Mission to do most of the talking and planning and "Big Z" to back her up when brute force is needed. Mission also has the least hit points of the party while Zaalbar has the most. They are, indeed, a shoutout to Han and Chewie above. | |

In SWAT Kats, T-Bone (Chance Furlong) and Razor (Jake Clawson) play with this as well. T-Bone, the Big Guy, is not just the muscle of the group, though he is portrayed as the more juvenile of the two, and given that Razor's Gadgeteer Genius tendencies make him as smart as he is, T-Bone is definitely the dumber of the two. In a more standard version, the asshole garbagemen, Burke and Murray, who deliver junk to Chance and Jake each day, fit the bill. |

Jitsu Squad have this dynamic between the Big Bad, Lord Origami, and The Dragon, Dash Kobayashi. The former is a gigantic demon mask that takes up the entire background, while the latter is roughly the same size as your character. It's especially evident in the Final Boss battle, when Origami attacks as a Background Boss spamming projectiles, and as you fend off his attacks and try retaliating, Dash will attempt getting in your way and repeatedly distract you. | |

To a lesser extent Norm has resumed playing the "big dumb thug" to his lawyer, Gary Hart, when they go out doing dirty work for the Oracle. In the future arcs, subverted by Adviser Krutz and his bodyguard. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: It's common for ogres to be teamed up with smaller races like orcs (who tend to be the big guy in most other evil humanoid pairings, and generally not that smart, but are smarter and weaker than ogres), goblins, or hobgoblins. This usually lasts until the ogre gets bored, hungry, or angry and forgets that it isn't supposed to eat its smaller companions. | |

In Seinfeld, 6'3" Kramer has an occasionally-appearing friend in 4'0" Mickey Abbott, an actor with dwarfism. The contrast is made funnier by the fact that the two barely seem aware of it, with (for instance) Mickey choosing Kramer as his partner for a dramatic audition in which he plays a hardboiled cop and Kramer plays the suspect he's interrogating. | |

The King of Fighters: Chang Koehan (a large chubby man with a big iron ball on a chain) and Choi Bounge (a midget with Freddy Krueger-esque claws). To be precise, according to their official bios Choi is five-foot-nothing while Chang is seven-foot-eight. Most evident in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark Of The Millennium where you control Chang and Choi together as a single character (with Choi occasionally performing some of his special moves). | |

In one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX there was Ohara and Kohara, two Ra Yellow students who became partners to get revenge upon the Obelisk students by assuming the identity of the "Duel Giant". (Ohara was a big guy who wasn't the best duelist, while Kohara was a real little guy who was good, but had stage fright; so the plan involved Ohara disguising himself with a mask and Kohara directing his moves with a radio headset.) Also, part of their strategy as duelists mirrored this situation: They used Giant Orc (a big, dumb guy) and Second Goblin (a little guy who helped Giant Orc). |

The Funk Brothers, Bobby and Kelly, in One Piece, is an unusual variant on this trope: The smaller Kelly is smarter and wiser, and the much bigger Bobby has incredible strength (to where blades snap when swung against his back) but can't strategize the way Kelly can. However, Bobby is an Actual Pacifist who is afraid to fight. Instead, Kelly developed a sort of Grand Theft Me power where he takes over Bobby and does the fighting as him. | |

Final Fantasy X: Kimahri and Yuna. 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. | |

Even heroically during the Other World Tournament arc you had Goku (Big) and North Kai (Little) and Pikkon (Big) and West Kai (Little). Tien (physically bigger than any Z-Fighter except Piccolo) and Chiaotzu (smaller than Krillin) were introduced together way back in Dragon Ball, and are rarely seen apart. Up until Gohan hit a growth spurt between the Cell and Buu sagas, he was Piccolo's trainee, and came up to Piccolo's waist. | |

Mad Rat Dead: While Mad Rat is small (being a rat and all), his companion Heart even smaller, to the point where he can fit in Mad Rat's chest cavity with room to spare, due to being Mad Rat's heart. However, the end of the game reveals that Heart is a cat, thus reversing the positions of the dynamic. | |

King Mondo's henchmen Klang and Orbus from Power Rangers Zeo. Klang is a robot the size and shape of a human, Orbus is doll-sized. Their size difference was a key part of Mondo's strategies using the Monster of the Week; to enlarge it to giant size; Orbus' arm extended with a cord and Klang would swing him like a bullroarer and launch him at the monster. Orbus would then apply a gizmo installed within him to complete the process. | |

Most recurring and regular human characters in Pokémon: The Series can be considered a Big Guy when using whatever Pokémon he or she is most associated with. Ash with Pikachu naturally, Gary with Umbreon, and Brock with Croagunk. There are a few exception, however,like when Brock uses Onix, which is much larger than he is. | |

Vegeta and Nappa from Dragon Ball Z were this, at least until Vegeta killed him. Pretty much every group after them that showed up together would be this. Though the Big Guy wasn't always Dumb Muscle, but he was always in a supplementary role, usually an enforcer, bodyguard or sidekick. The Little Guy would be the brains and the leader, and would often be revealed to actually be stronger since Muscles Are Meaningless in this series. Zarbon and Dododia (Big Duo) and Frieza (Little) - King Cold (Big) and Mecha Frieza (Little) - Android 16 (Big) and Androids 17 and 18 (Little Duo) - Kibito (Big) and Shin (Little) - Spopovitch (Big) and Yamu (Little) - Dabura (Big) and Babidi (Little) - Fat Buu (Big) and Babidi (Little) - Kibito Kai (Big) and Old Kai (Little) While the Ginyu Force generally appear to be good friends with each other, among them Jeice and Burter in particular come off as Heterosexual Life-Partners. Burter is a head taller than the Captain, and Jeice is about Vegeta's size. Even heroically during the Other World Tournament arc you had Goku (Big) and North Kai (Little) and Pikkon (Big) and West Kai (Little). Tien (physically bigger than any Z-Fighter except Piccolo) and Chiaotzu (smaller than Krillin) were introduced together way back in Dragon Ball, and are rarely seen apart.

For a time Anole and Rockslide of the X-Men had this dynamic, and were often paired up together. They even moonlit as a street-level hero duo. Rockslide is the Big Guy of most teams he's on, especially because his powers allow him to alter the size of his body by adding more of the surrounding earth to it. Anole is significantly smaller, and can easily fit on Rockslide's shoulder. They edge a bit closer to Vitriolic Best Buds, and play with Heterosexual Life-Partners as Anole is in fact gay. | |

Trinket and Cissy from Pepper Ann, the closest this series has to an Alpha Bitch (they're vain rather than mean, and lack the numbers and power to constitute a posse). Cissy is a Dumb Blonde Huge Schoolgirl. Trinket is short, although compared to her other classmates not by much; and as the one with the most common sense of the two (which again is not saying much), she's undoubtedly the leader. And you can count with one hand the number of episodes where they don't show up together, or at least one alongside the other. | |
