| Gonna Need More X | comment |
A Stock Phrase, usually spoken in response to an emergent situation wherein the speaker suddenly realizes either the sudden absence of a necessity, or that the one in their possession is woefully insufficient. They need more. Context is key here. If someone misreads their cookbooks and buys four eggs instead of six: "I'm going to need more eggs" is not this trope in that context. Someone turning up with six eggs and being told they have to feed cake to eight hundred cranky children and remarking "I'm going to need more eggs" IS this trope. In comedy, the trope can be played with by using it in a situation where no quantity of the specified item would be sufficient to overcome the problem. A sister trope to More Dakka, when you need a stronger attack; and Tim Taylor Technology, when you need MORE POWER! A subtrope of Dramatic Deadpan, containing that trope's top example. Here is a compilation with a lot of examples of this trope. |

Aquaman: During a Hard-Work Montage, David Kane modifies Atlantean technology into what will become his Black Manta outfit. The montage comes to an abrupt halt when he accidentally fires off the Eye Beams, blasting a hole in the roof and ripping open the helmet, which he's fortunately not wearing at the time. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "The Isle of the Ployees", which is a kind of absurd satire of corporate jobs, Riff is expected to tame a huge monster by whacking it on the head with a small stick. "Dangerous Days Ahead", when the heroes and anti-heroes are laying siege to the bad guys and the literal Killer Rabbit Bun-bun fights an alien killing machine and actually starts losing (for about the first time ever in the comic). In "Freelance Bums", in a reversed parody of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a bunch of the guys need to make a gay man look like he's straight and his boyfriend is his straight roommate. When they see the boyfriend (called "Sparkles"), Riff comments "We might need a bigger team." When he sees the immaculately decorated apartment, he says "We need a bigger team." Upon coming face-to-face with a giant tiger monster? "Will be needing a larger wetnap than originally thought." |

Eureka: In an episode, Carter comes up with a plan to capture a small radioactivity-eating blob by luring it out with a stockpile of radioactive material, then grabbing it and putting it back in its container. Too bad for them, it already found the stockpile before they went to place it, and now it's a giant radioactivity-eating blob. Quoth Carter, "we're gonna need a bigger container". In the second episode, when they're planning on tracking a ghost, Carter asks about Henry's omni-remote's ability to scan electromagnetic frequencies, the remote that went haywire in the cemetery, where Henry had to pull the battery. Henry's response, "We're gonna need a bigger battery." |

The MythBusters often invoke this trope during their experiments. It usually involves explosives. Inverted in the myth involving pouring water on a grease fire. At one point, Adam and Jamie attempt to produce a smaller fireball by scaling down the size of the pan, the amount of cooking oil, and the amount of water. After their small-scale fireball turned out far bigger than they expected, Adam remarked: | |

Schlock Mercenary: An obligatory trope when the mercenaries are hunting a giant shark created by a Mad Scientist. It becomes a Brick Joke after a trigger happy SWAT team blows up the boat they're on, and their lawyer demands a replacement boat as compensation. As this would be punitive damages, that would mean providing a bigger boat than the one they had before. | |

SeaQuest DSV: This is inverted to comic effect when Captain Nathan Bridger (played by the same person who said the line in Jaws) is searching for someone infected with a virus on the title submarine. He says, "We need a smaller boat." And then he says it again in the season 1 finale, after said submarine is blown up while trying to close a seafloor fault line: "We're going to need a new boat." Roy Scheider certainly got his money's worth out of that line. |

Troy Rising: In The Hot Gates, the Rangora manage to jam the main door of the Thermopylae closed. Keep in mind that the main door is the size of a city. Tyler says that "we're gonna need a bigger hammer." Then Granatica (the AI running the station's fabber) provides, building a ship that is essentially a giant hammer. | |

Team Fortress 2: The Heavy flips it: "You are going to need much bigger guns!" Also, if the Heavy blocks the other team from capturing a capture point or moving the payload cart forward, he'll yell "I think you need more men!" From the "Meet the Engineer" video, when pontificating on how to stop some mean mother hubbard from tearing him a structurally superfluous new behind, he mentions that if a gun doesn't work, "Use more gun." The video then cuts from a slow-firing popgun to a monstrosity with twin chainguns and quadruple rocket launcher. Inverted with the Engineer's Gunslinger, a robotic arm that deploys mini-sentries "Sometimes you just need a little less gun" |

The Jaws example is quoted for humorous effect (but in a nevertheless serious situation) by Xander in the first half of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3 finale, "Graduation Day, Part 1". Giles has found a picture in a Tomes of Eldritch Lore of the demon Olvikan that the Mayor is going to change into. Giles and Xander stare at the unseen picture, then fold it out, again and again as if Olvikan was the centerfold in the May issue of Playdemon. | |
