* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', Isaac and Miria receive a letter from Ennis that mentions her sadness over her "brothers created before her, who [she] never got to meet." They assume she's asking them for a baby brother. [[spoiler:[[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe And so they bring home Czeslaw.]]]]

* A running joke in the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series is Vert wanting a little sister of her own. This usually takes the form of trying to sweet-talk Nepgear into the role. She's also been known to make an offer to other girls who catch her eye. In VideoGame/CyberdimensionNeptunia4GoddessesOnline, It's even revealed she's effectively adopted an NPC within her favourite game!

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' involved Tommy really wanting a little brother. [[ItMakesSenseInContext He then thinks that a bird's egg is his little brother Milton.]] The egg was just a baby bird, but he ''did'' end up gaining a younger brother named Dil after the {{Revival}}.

* In her previous life, Katarina ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' was the youngest of three children and had always asked her parents for a younger brother or sister. As such she is incredibly happy when she meets her adoptive little brother Keith for the first time (with a hint of dread due to him being responsible for her death or exile in several routes). She stands in direct contrast to the original Katarina, who bullied Keith out of hatred for him taking away their father's attention.

* Littlefoot in at least one of the ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' sequels has shown interest in wanting a sibling. It doesn't help that he's one of the only main characters in the series (except for Chomper) to be an only child. He DID get a stepbrother when his long-absent father Bron returned in the tenth film, and at Littlefoot's urging, adopted Shorty, a ''Brachiosaurus'' who had come to view Bron as a father.

* A running joke in the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series is Vert wanting a little sister of her own. This usually takes the form of trying to sweet-talk Nepgear into the role. She's also been known to make an offer to other girls who catch her eye.

* Once on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' Bart (the oldest and only son of three kids) is upset about being the OutnumberedSibling, and tries tricking his parents into having another baby. Eventually, Marge confronts him about what's going on and, while certainly sympathetic to how her son feels, explains that she and Homer are fine with just three kids. Marge also points out that even if she and Homer do ever having a fourth child, said child might end up being another girl instead of a boy (which leads to Bart having a fantasy about having ''three'' sisters). Bart winds up going to the orphanage and temporarily adopting a brother instead.

Compare IWantGrandkids (for when it's the parents' parents doing the pushing). This is also TruthInTelevision, which is probably why it shows up often enough.

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', if Yarne is paired up with his father and steps on an event tile, the latter will ask if the former wants something. Yarne asks for "lots of bunny-eared brothers and sisters". This is completely justified, as Yarne's greatest fear [[spoiler:(having come from a BadFuture where his mother died) is [[LastOfHisKind the extinction of his kind]].]]

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron'' involved the title character asking his parents for a little brother. Since they politely declined, he used his [[ChildProdigy mad science]] to make a ''robotic'' little brother named Brobot. Brobot [[StatusQuoIsGod didn't stick around on Earth]], but ''did'' become a minor recurring character.

* In ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'', Desco and Des X were created by MadScientist Genjuro Kazamatsuri to fulfill his daughter Fuka's wish for a little sister...with advanced functionality to help her TakeOverTheWorld. The results were somewhat mixed -- while Desco quickly grows to adore Fuka and wants to help her take over the world [[spoiler:Des X grew violently jealous of her sisters and murdered them so she could have their father's full attention.]]
