* In the ''ComicBook/BatmanZeroYear'' side-story in ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics'', which focuses on Jim Gordon, he's using a flashlight to signal his partner, unaware the man is a DirtyCop. When he instead gets rescued by Batman, he reflects on how lucky he was the Dark Knight happened to see the signal, and decides that next time he's going to use [[BatSignal a bigger flashlight]].

* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', Kyon is drinking milk (a common way for him to calm himself) when he is called by Nagato to her apartment. After he arrives he is told the reason for his summoning: [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien the IDSE]] decided she's a liability and thus [[StayWithMeUntilIDie she's going to be deleted in a few hours]]. Since he realizes he won't be calm no matter how much he tries or how much milk he drinks, he comments, "There isn't enough milk in the world."
* ''Fanfic/RealityChecksNyxverse'':In ''Nightmare Night and Nyx'', Ink Spot arrives to pick up Twilight for their Nightmare Night date. When he arrives, Twilight has just used her Butterfly Wing spell on herself, and when Fluttershy opens the door, she erupts with laughter to see him wearing an explorer outfit with a butterfly net on his back and a field guide on his hip. His response: "Heavens, I think I'm going to need a bigger net."
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11033616/21/You-re-my-Density You're My Density]]'' Harry and Hermione offer to teach second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts to any friends who refuse to subject themselves to Gilderoy Lockhart. After the class with the Cornish pixies, most of the rest of their yearmates show up and demand to be included.
-->'''Hermione:''' We're going to need a bigger classroom!

-->Harry's first ''coherent'' thought when he realized that he was going to be up against dragons had been along the lines of 'I miss Norbert'.\\
\\
This hadn't been due to the little menace somehow wheedling its way into his cold and calculating heart, but rather the belief that Norbert couldn't possibly have grown ''that'' much since his first year.\\
\\
His second ''coherent'' thought had been along the lines of 'I'm going to need a bigger wand'.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13677375/2/Child-of-Prophecy Child of Prophecy]]'' Harry purchases a wizard tent to use for Potions tutoring at Hogwarts.

* Perhaps the most famous example appears in ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', said by Brody after spotting the film's ThreateningShark while tossing chum and seeing that it's way bigger than expected-- roughly twice as large as the average great white. The line was actually [[ThrowItIn an improvisation]] by Roy Scheider, but the scriptwriters (one of whom was the author of the book) have both said that they'd have given their right arm to write a line that good. [[BeamMeUpScotty It's often misquoted as]] "We're..."[[note]] which ruins the implications, since Brody is simultaneously wishing he wasn't there and lampshading Quint's Captain Ahab tendencies[[/note]].
-->'''Brody:''' You're gonna need a bigger boat.
* ''Film/Aquaman2018''. During a HardWorkMontage, 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 EyeBeams, blasting a hole in the roof and ripping open the helmet, which he's fortunately not wearing at the time.
-->'''David:''' Huh. Think I'm gonna need a bigger helmet.
* The misquote ("We're...") of the ''Jaws'' example is used during the "salsa shark" bit in ''Film/{{Clerks}}''.

* ''Film/YorTheHunterFromTheFuture'': "We will need a lot more hemp before we're through." Just to be clear, the context of the scene is such that the character is probably referring to a need for hemp ''ropes''.

* ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'': "Send... more... paramedics..."
-->[[BrainFood "MORE BRAINS!"]]
* From ''Film/MenInBlackII'': "Might I suggest a bigger gun!" Followed by Agent Kay shooting [[MoreDakka more rapidly with the same gun]] to good effect.

* ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch'' [[spoiler:after the CuteWitch turns into OneWingedAngel with SuperStrength who can melt its way out of its cage.]]
-->'''Priest:''' We're going to need more holy water.

* One of several ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' shout-outs in ''Film/{{Sharknado}}''. "We're gonna need a bigger chopper."

* During the climactic fight in ''Film/JurassicWorld'' between two ''[[RaptorAttack Velociraptors]]'' and the ''Indominus rex'', Gray (the younger of the two kids) realizes that they need "more teeth." This prompts their Aunt Claire to [[spoiler:open the paddock containing big Rexie]].
* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': During Xavier's BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with Apocalypse, the villain says this to the hero when he gains the upper hand.
-->'''Charles:''' Welcome to my world! You're in my house now!\\

* ''Film/EvanAlmighty'' gives a ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' ShoutOut when the dam bursts. Fortunately the ark he's been building is quite big enough.
* ''Film/KingCobra1999'': After a bunch of redneck hunters come across bits of Seth's shedded snake skin:

-->'''Delbert''': I'm gonna go uncork the private stock.
* The {{tagline}} for ''Film/{{Blacklight}}'' is ''They're gonna need more men'', presumably referring to the army of mooks required to take on our badass hero.
* ''Film/CliffordTheBigRedDog'': [[https://twitter.com/cliffordmovie/status/1417485774677704704 This tweet]] released in July 2021, announcing the film's debut in the Toronto International Film Festival, features the tagline "We're gonna need a bigger theater" with emphasis on "bigger".

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/MakingMoney'', when the concept of paper money catches on to a even greater extent than Moist expected, he concludes "We're going to need some bigger notes."

* In ''[[Literature/TroyRising 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.

* ''[[Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath Seeker's Mask]]''. Jame goes to rest in a chair and her ounce Jorin (about the size of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval serval]]) flops onto her lap, causing her to think that she needs a bigger lap or a smaller cat.

''(uncredited buxom woman raises her hand)''\\

* A season 3 episode of ''Series/TheCloser'' involves somebody emptying several rounds of ammo into the car carrying the notoriously difficult, tempestuous and un-diplomatic (but well-loved among her squad) Brenda Johnson. Flynn writes WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL CHIEF JOHNSON?? on the board in the "murder room" and remarks dryly, "We're gonna need a bigger board."

* ''{{Series/Bones}}'': Temperance Brennan, when called to examine a head, declares that "I need an evidence bag." When the rest of the body falls from a tree, she deadpans that she needs a bigger bag. This being Brennan, she probably wasn't going for humor.

* In the ''{{Series/Supernatural}}'' episode "Changing Channels", Dean makes a [[DagwoodSandwich giant sandwich]], and, after contemplating it for a few seconds, says, "I'm gonna need a bigger mouth." Sam enters: "Wow... you're [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike gonna need a bigger mouth]]."
* In the ''Series/{{Medium}}'' episode "Attack of the Zombies", Alison was having a dream involving a zombie apocalypse. In her dream, Joe was breaking up furniture to board up the house to keep the zombies out. Joe looked outside to see hordes of zombies coming closer to the house. "We are going to need more wood."
* The ''Series/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:
-->'''Adam:''' I think we're gonna need a ''smaller scale''!
* ''Series/{{Eureka}}'':
** In an episode, Carter comes up with a plan to capture a small radioactivity-eating [[BlobMonster 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 ''Jaws'' example is quoted for humorous effect (but in a nevertheless serious situation) by Xander in the first half of the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' season 3 finale, "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E21GraduationDayPart1 Graduation Day, Part 1]]". Giles has found a picture in a TomesOfEldritchLore 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''.
* Another Whedonverse example: when the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' crew first see the fearsome Beast in "[[Recap/AngelS04E07ApocalypseNowish Apocalypse Nowish]]", Lorne (holding a crossbow) remarks that he's gonna need a bigger arrow.
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. The BigBad cites this trope for the cliffhanger ending of the episode "Monument Point", when Oliver Queen and John Diggle enter a room to find Damien Darhk surrounded by vast magic forces that he's been able to summon by the nuclear destruction of an entire town.
-->'''Darhk:''' Hello, Oliver. Nice timing. I think you're gonna need much bigger arrows.

* ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'':
** This is inverted to comic effect when Captain Nathan Bridger (played by [[ActorAllusion the same person]] who said the line in ''Jaws'') is searching for someone infected with a virus on the titular 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." Creator/RoyScheider certainly got his money's worth out of that line.
* In the ''{{Series/Charmed|1998}}'' episode "The Devil's Music", Phoebe plans to defeat a soul-eating demon by feeding him a balloon full of a potion that will force him to regurgitate all the souls she's eaten. When she actually encounters the demon, her reaction is, "We're gonna need a bigger balloon."
* Major Sheppard gets the ''Jaws'' quote right in the second episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', when confronted with a huge {{Energy Being|s}} they're trying to trap back into its Ancient confinement artifact.
-->'''Sheppard:''' I think you're gonna need a bigger boat.\\
'''[=McKay=]:''' ''[over comms]'' Size doesn't matter.\\
'''Sheppard:''' That's a myth.
* An episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' has [[CreepyMortician Ducky]] and [[LabRat Jimmy]] reassembling the skeletal remains of what looks like two bodies by arranging the bones on two autopsy tables. Everything is going more-or-less smoothly until they find a bone that they already have two of, leading Ducky to comment, "We're gonna need another table." They end up reassembling ''five'' bodies.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' ChristmasEpisode "[[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong The Husbands of River Song]]", when River doesn't recognize the Doctor and asks how he knows her, he says that explaining that [[TimeyWimeyBall usually requires flowcharts]]. When she tells him her husband is dying, he adds "I'm going to need a bigger flowchart." (As the title suggests, it's not him.)
* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}''.
** Detective Decker asks Lucifer to list everyone he's slept with in the past eight weeks. He looks down at her notepad and tells her [[ReallyGetsAround she'll need a much bigger one]].
** A beautiful masseuse tells Amenadiel to [[HappyEndingMassage get naked and lie under the handtowel she's holding]].

* In an episode of ''Series/That70sShow'', Kelso, Hyde and Fez go to vandalize the water tower. Fez plans to draw a penis on the tower, and says “Since I’ve never seen another mans genitals, I will have to draw my own. I will need more paint. And a bigger tower.”

* In Music/JonathanCoulton's song ''You Ruined Everything'', he mentions that he's going to need more money.

-->"No effect? I need a bigger sword!"
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** 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 [[SophisticatedAsHell a structurally superfluous new behind]], he mentions that if ''a'' gun doesn't work, [[MoreDakka "Use more gun."]] The video then cuts from a slow-firing popgun to a monstrosity with [[NoKillLikeOverkill twin chainguns]] and [[MacrossMissileMassacre 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 Bubblegum Club's spoof of ''I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!'' Known as ''I'm a bubblegum bod, get me out of here!'' There's a scene where there's a volcano erupting nearby, and they want to stop it so they don't get hurt. They catapult a rock into the volcano to try to plug it up, but it falls into the crater. Someone says, "We may need a bigger rock," to which the reply is, "Like, duh!"

* The TV commercials for ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'': "You and your friends vs. 10 million zombies... (DramaticGunCock) They're gonna need more zombies."

* In ''VideoGame/Injustice2'', when [[BadassNormal Harley Quinn]] finds herself up against a sufficiently powerful opponent [[note]]specifically, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Atrocitus, or Gorilla Grodd[[/note]], she may mutter, "I'm gonna need a bigger bat..."
* In ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'', common fan reactions when rockets don't work are that it either [[TimTaylorTechnology needs more boosters]], or it needs more struts. Given how the game's physics engine works, the latter one is actually useful for increasing the structural stability of the rocket and reducing wobble.
* In ''VideoGame/LilysGarden'', Lily receives a notice that she owes a substantial amount of back taxes on her Great-Aunt Mary's estate.
-->'''Lily:''' Oh! I can do my weed-pulling therapy again! I just need to pull one weed for every dollar I owe the state... ''[frowns at neighbor's dog]'' We're gonna need more weeds, Roxy.

* ''Webcomic/CrossTimeCafe'': Being unfamiliar with measuring giraffes for dresses, [[http://tapastic.com/episode/215401 Triac discovers he's going to need a bigger extension]].
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''. An obligatory trope when the mercenaries are hunting a giant shark created by a MadScientist. It becomes a BrickJoke 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.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* In the ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' web serial "Federation of Fear", [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Vezon]] nearly quotes the ''Jaws'' line upon seeing the massive dragon form of the original Brotherhood of Makuta leader his team was assigned to free, before being cut off by Brutaka, who replies: "A bigger boat.
