Big, Bulky Bomb
 This is why Mario's dash button is so handy.
Burt: That's 2.5 tons of high explosives, Earl!
Earl: You mean that's not enough? Oh Burt, don't tell me it's not enough!
Burt: Not enou... Never mind, just run! Run!

Any bomb that is at least as big as a car (either as one explosive or a cluster), is truly made to make a huge blast. The reason is that when you have Stuff Blowing Up, it's often good to have bigger explosions. But that doesn't necessarily mean the actual bomb has to be large, especially these days with high yield explosives. Before then, huge bombs were the easiest way to make it clear the blast would be huge (in fiction and Real Life). With high yield in a large amount, the blast goes Up to Eleven. May overlap with the Incredibly Obvious Bomb, because it's going to be hard to hide something this big. Compare BFG, BFS, More Dakka, Wave Motion Gun, Kill Sat, Macross Missile Massacre, There Is No Kill Like Overkill, Awesomeness Is Volatile, Outrun the Fireball. Not to be confused with a work that flops horribly, the Brutal Flying Behemoth Bloons Tower Defense, or the Giant Bomb website. This is about the size of the bomb. The actual explosion, its effects, or even the materials of the bomb, are irrelevant to whether an example counts.
