History Main / BigThinShortTrio

* The Trio from ''{{Gargoyles}}''. Broadway is the good-natured fat guy. Brooklyn is lean muscle, but one less charitable gargoyle described him as "scrawny". Lexington is short, though maybe more prissy than grumpy.

* Fezzik, Inigo and Vizzini in ''ThePrincessBride''.

* {{Kirby}}'s three main level helpers in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' are these. Waddle Dee is short, Adeline is skinny and King Dedede is big. Ribbon is also one of Kirby's supporters, but she doesn't show up to help in levels except to grab Crystal Shards.

* Chow, Finn and Ratso in ''JackieChanAdventures'' (short, thin and big respectively).

** Jose(big), Placido(skinny) and Lucciano(short) from YuGiOh5Ds. Although the usual personalities for the short and big ones are inverted here as Jose is the grumpy one, and [[TheHyena sort of]] good-natured Lucciano.

* ''{{Cars}}'' apparantly features three types of pitty (forklift) body styles: tall(example), short(example), and wide(example).

** Jose(big), Placido(skinny) and Lucciano(short) from YuGiOh5Ds. Although the usual personalities for the short and big ones are inverted here.

* The Shadow Sirens—Vivian (thin), Marilyn (big), and Beldam (short)—from ''[[PaperMario Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Oddly, the Trope continues to be played straight, even after [[spoiler: Chapter 4, when Vivian joins Mario's team, and the Chapter's BigBad, Doopliss, somehow gets mixed up with Beldam and Marilyn.]]

* The Saiyuki trio of {{Eyeshield 21}}. Hakkai's fat, Gojyo is skinny, and Goku is short.
** Also Kurita, Hiruma, and Sena.
** And Yamabushi, Unsui/Agon, and Ikkyu to an extent.

Usually a group of secondary characters, if there are three of them chances are one will be large and/or fat, one will be skinny, and one will be short. The big one will generally be good-natured, and the short one will generally be grumpy.
