There Is Always A Bigger Fish Celebrity Height Comparison Meme

There is always a bigger fish.

This meme is a collage of three side-by-side photographs paired with the common English idiom 'There is always a bigger fish' at the top, to literalize the idiom with height comparisons of very tall, famous public figures. The first photo shows comedian Kevin Hart, who is shorter in stature, standing next to actor and former wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who is widely considered very large and tall. The second photo shows Dwayne Johnson standing next to former professional basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, who towers over Johnson. The third photo shows Shaquille O'Neal standing next to former professional basketball player Yao Ming, who is even taller than O'Neal. The comedic effect comes from showing that each person perceived as very large or impressive in their own right is still smaller than someone else, matching the meaning of the idiom that there is always someone more powerful, capable, or larger than you.

This meme is sourced from an RSS feed of the X (formerly Twitter) account @WholesomeMeme, which shares lighthearted, positive humorous content. The meme uses existing publicly available photographs of the four celebrities, edited together into a collage format to pair with the idiom for comedic effect. This format of height comparison meme illustrating the 'bigger fish' concept has circulated widely across multiple social media platforms including Reddit, X, and Instagram.
