Why? It's entirely obvious it's about people with massive cocks. A joke name index (don't ask me why) I'd expect to have a name like Ramsbottom in it's title. I don't think joke names when I think of it, I think of big cocks.

I have seen Life of Brian, and I still thought it was about big dicks. I think you might be overstating the problem.
I do like Third Leg Syndrome, though. Mainly because I am secretly a 12-year-old boy, and jokes about tripods amuse me.
Thanks for the all fish!

It's at least good for a redirect. I'll do that.

That's a bit too obscure, considering that that joke is about erections, not necessarily about big penises.

Better put in a word here as I was the troper who proposed the trope and decided to launch with this title.
I support a rename. This trope is "big dicks equal better sex" and the title only gets the first half of that across. The only reason I went with it was because it had wide support, no other suggestions, and this was a trope stuck in purgatory. As in, it had been proposed before and not launched in spite of over a hundred replies and if I didn't launch it then there's a good chance we still wouldn't have it.
So, take that for what you will. I don't feel especially strongly that this needs a rename, but I would support one to a title that clearly implies the "better sex" part of this trope.
See you in the discussion pages.

I'm fairly sure that more people have heard the "size doesn't matter" saying than have seen the Godzilla remake.

For those who have seen Monty Python's Life of Brian (the trope namer), this is a misleading trope name. In the movie, it's not about anyone with an overly large... anatomical feature... it's just about a guy with a funny name. (Er, I mean, there's nothing funny at all about the name Biggus Dickus)
I don't know what to change it to, but I think it should certainly be changed to something else.
