History Main / TheBigBadWolf

* Activision's ''{{VideoGame/Oink}}'' has, of course, the Big Bad Wolf from the Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs (given the name Bigelow B. Wolf) using his breath to knock down bricks in the wall that the pigs (controlled by the player) try to patch up before he blows a big enough hole to capture them. His breath, due to UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}} graphics, looks like a laser beam, and becomes part of his VacuumMouth when it makes contact with any of the pigs.

* Angela Carter's collection of DarkerAndEdgier fairy tale retellings ''The Bloody Chamber'' contains a couple of variations on the Big Bad Wolf.

* In ''The Wolf's Tale'', the Wolf isn't interested in eating people, only chicken and other animals. However, Red is convinced that PredatorsAreMean and tries to force him to become a vegetarian, stopping him from hunting properly and making him sick in the process. He disguises himself as Grandma (who is away) so that he can eat the chicken in her basket, and in the end he only wants to get away.
* Henry Whelp, the protagonist of ''[[Literature/DustCity Dust City]]'', is the son of the Big Bad Wolf, who is in prison for the murder of Red and her grandmother. Henry believes that his father was put up to it in some way. [[spoiler: As it turns out, the murder was committed under the influence of [[FantasticDrug tainted fairy dust]], which turns [[TalkingAnimal animalia]] like the Whelps violent.]]
* Wolfgang of ''Big Bad Detective Agency'' is actually innocent of destroying the three pigs' homes -- the worst thing he ever did was steal chickens, and he prefers tending his garden these days. He teams up with the fourth pig to find the real culprit. [[spoiler: The culprit is the pigs' mother, who missed them and wanted them to come home.]]
* In ''Wolf Won't Bite!'' the three pigs capture the wolf and [[BullyingADragon force him to perform tricks for them]]. [[LaserGuidedKarma This goes about as well as you'd expect.]]

* The FracturedFairyTale series ''Seriously Silly Stories'' riffs on the trope a few times. In "Eco-Wolf and the Three Pigs", the wolf is a friendly hippie who must drive the three pigs, portrayed as {{Jerkass}} land developers, away from his forest. Meanwhile, in ''Little Red Riding Wolf", the characters' roles are reversed, with a Big Bad Girl terrorizing the innocent Little Red Riding Wolf. However, Little Red's grandmother is much bigger and badder than she is.
* While human, Wolfgang in ''Grimmtastic Girls'' is that version of Red Riding Hood's Big Bad Wolf, and she [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys has a (reciprocated) crush on him]]. While he is suspicious and appears to be allied with the villains, it turns out that he's [[DarkIsNotEvil actually a good guy]], and only wanted to join their secret society [[TheMole so he could spy on them]]. He's afraid of being like his uncles, who really ''were'' evil.

* ''Literature/TheTrueStoryOfTheThreeLittlePigs'' is a book supposedly told by "A. Wolf" that has the wolf claiming that he just had a very bad cold (sneezing) and the pigs were refusing to give him sugar to bake his poor granny a cake. Oh, and he ate the pigs after he sneezed because it's like seeing a cheeseburger lying around.

* At one part of the ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' video "Come On Over To Barney's House", Barney gets visited by the Big Bad Wolf (with only the latter's grey arms visible), who threatens to huff and puff and blow his house down. After Barney [[FakeInteractivity prompts the viewers to guess who is at the door]][[note]]refering to the wolf as "The Mean Old Wolf" instead of "Big Bad"[[/note]], the wolf mentions that he doesn't have any friends. Barney convices him to use his huffing and puffing for better things, like blowing up a ball. And, as the wolf is still hungry, he also tells him to try his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The wolf likes them, arguing that his mother makes sandwiches as yummy as those.

* The Wolf appears in "The Goat and Her Three Kids", a Romanian variant of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids".

* The wolves in the book series "The Other Side of the Story" explain their fairy tales [[PerspectiveFlip from their own point of view]].
