For some reason, this is a popular subject for RealityTV shows -- probably because this is extremely rare nowadays. In older works and stories, it sometimes just happens in passing. In the same way, older works had tropes like "the [[MagicalSeventhSon seventh son of a seventh son]] is always some kind of ChosenOne", and this wasn't some phenomenon that's extremely rare to begin with, the way it is now.

* ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' has a variation. At the end of "Meethi Masi", Samosa gets a visit from his countless number of younger cousins (among them ones named Cutie, Fruity, Pinky, Goldie, Shinky, Lucky, Happy, Harinder...), who - along with his aunt Sweetyhearty - stay the night at his house.

* Lille Skutt in ''ComicBook/{{Bamse}}'' is a [[FunnyAnimal rabbit]], and when his childhood is described we are told that he left home early because "rabbits have children often and they have many children" -- his parents basically had a new ''litter'', and Lille Skutt was the smallest of ''septuplets'' in his litter, so they were running out of space and presumably carrots. (Lille Skutt himself only has one kid, though.)

* ''ComicBook/{{Dollicious}}'': Ramen, the main character has seven sisters - three older and four younger.

* In ''ComicStrip/PricklyCity'', Kevin complains about having to fill out the names of his siblings -- there isn't enough paper. And he doesn't know their names.

* In ''Animation/TheSeventhBrother'', Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit have six children -- three boys and three girls.

* ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'': Titus Andronicus has ''26'' children (25 sons, one daughter). At the start of the play, most are dead, except for five -- so the trope still applies (however, [[spoiler: by the end of the play, only eldest son Lucius is still alive]]).

** [[http://docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1242 the tragic side: rabbits and rats have lots of kids, and they get eaten -- legally -- by carnivores]]. [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1250 Ben has only one sibling living.]]

* In ''WebComic/SomethingPositive,'' Vanessa apparently has [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp04022013.shtml five]] [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp04032013.shtml full siblings]] (all of whom are dysfunctional in some way), and some number of half-siblings -- even she isn't sure just how many.

* The noble de Rolo family of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' had seven children, consisting of four boys and three girls. All but one -- player character Percy, the third-eldest -- were killed before the story began. [[spoiler:His younger sister Cassandra is later revealed to be alive as well.]]

* ''[[https://waitingforthet.tumblr.com/tagged/Space%20Guy The Further Adventures of Astro Astrolovich, Space Guy]]'': Astro has ''forty-three'' kids (implied to be from several different partners). When questioned about it, he simply replies "What can I say? [[LovableSexManiac I love love]] and have a latex allergy." [[GoodParents He seems to have positive, wholesome relationships with all of them to boot]], and claims that he ''never'' mixes up ''any'' of their names (a statement that [[ItMakesSenseInContext is accepted as proof of his mental acuity by a giant brain alien]]).

* In the movie version of ''WesternAnimation/HortonHearsAWho'', The Mayor has ninety-six daughters and one son named Jojo, who all share a bathroom. He and his wife handle this pretty well, though he can only spare twelve seconds with each one during breakfast.

* ''ComicBook/DisneyKingdoms'': In the first issue of ''Figment'', a brief flashback shows that Blair Mercurial/The Dreamfinder has three brothers and two sisters.

** With the exception of Odin, Loki is noted to have more kids than other Norse gods: famously [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Fenrir, Jormungandr]] and [[[[GodOfTheUnderworld Hel]] from Angboda, but also [[SinsOfOurFathers Na(f)ri and Vali]] with Sigyn, and Sleipnir with a giant's stallion ([[GenderBender ye]][[BestialityIsDepraved ah]]).

* Myth/AztecMythology has Coyolxauhqui, "Face Painted with Bells", and the Centzonhuitznahua, "the Four Hundred Southerners". When Coatlicue, their mother, mysteriously became pregnant without her husband and their father Mixcoatl, "Cloud Serpent", Coyolxauhqui became convinced that she had shamed them and had to be killed. Their half-baked plan went wrong when their baby brother turned out to be Huitzilopochtli, "Hummingbird of the Left". He slaughtered his brothers and sister, splitting Coyolxauhqui into pieces and turning her head into the moon, so that at least his mother could see her daughter when she looked into the sky.

* The Bright family of ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' has six children: three sons, two daughters, and [[spoiler:a sixth sibling who was {{Unpersoned}} after becoming the new iteration of Nobody]]. They aren't exactly [[BigScrewedUpFamily portrayed in a positive light.]]

In older works, this is generally seen as something great, because in reality, most people had massive numbers of children; this trope indicated not the number of births but the lack of deaths. (One reason you had so many was that in few families did all survive.) Nowadays it's more a comedy trope, often stereotypically associated with heavily Catholic cultures like {{Oireland}} and LatinLand, because Catholic doctrine forbids birth control. It was also common for the siblings in older works to be all female, with their parents disappointed that they weren't getting the son they wanted no matter how often they tried. Depending on how important they are to the work, expect the siblings to have [[CastSpeciation varying and distinct personalities]].
