When someone mentions his or her “little brother”, you usually expect a smaller, weaker individual, most likely a child or teenager. The big little brother is the polar opposite of this. It’s someone who may be the youngest member of his family, but who is stronger, taller and overall more impressive than his older siblings. The revelation of this usually comes as a surprise to both the audience and the characters in a story. This trope is usually used for comical effect.

* The French comic strip ''[[{{Asterix}} Asterix]]'' uses this trope in the album “Asterix at the Olympic Games”. During the games we see a big, muscular man fighting in the arena while his older brother encourages him from the sideline. When Vitalstatistix asks him if everyone in his family is this strong, he mentions he has an even younger brother who is even stronger than both of them. [[spoiler: He was however unable to come to the games because he still hasn’t recovered from a beating he received from their mother]]
