* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': In the Creator/EthelMerman episode, Fozzie's agent, Irving Bizarre, visits to renegotiate Fozzie's contract. Irving is so short that all can be seen of him is a pair of shoes and pant cuffs sticking out from under a top hat. Even though Fozzie asks him not to, Kermit can't resist getting in a few short jokes.

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'':
** In ''Animation/BoBoiBoyTheMovie'', Adu Du and Probe are thrown out of the Tengkotak spaceship and into the ocean with a baby squid. After struggling to swim, they're raised above the water by the squid growing multifold in size from contact with water. Adu Du notes that they're getting higher, which Probe remarks to be weird as well because Adu Du is usually short, earning a scowl from the latter.
** In ''[=BoBoiBoy=] Galaxy'', Commander Koko Ci leads cadets Gopal and [=BoBoiBoy=] to a Power Sphere Vault to check if anything was stolen. [=BoBoiBoy=] asks the commander why he never told them of this vault, and he replies that their ranks are not high enough. Gopal then says "You're not exactly that high, commander." Koko Ci darts back a scowl that puts Gopal back in his place. Koko Ci is [[TheNapoleon even shorter than Adu Du but just as hot-headed]], despite being one of the good guys.
** In ''Animation/BoBoiBoyMovie2'', Adu Du and Probe steal Eggabot but are blocked from escaping by [=BoBoiBoy's=] friends, one aboard the ship being [[CastingAShadow Fang]] who summons many shadow animals poised to attack them. Adu Du jokes about Fang opening a zoo, to which Probe replies "Can kids like Mr. Boss get a free entry?", earning him a smack on the head by Adu Du.

* Jayne seemed to have been invoking this one on ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' when Wash teased him, asking “you wanna go, little man?” as in wanting to pick a fight. Adam Baldwin’s Jayne towers over all of the crew at 6’4, so he can get away with a height jab at someone who’s still on the tall side. Alan Tudyk is really only a couple of inches shorter, but tended to slouch a bit as Wash.
