SpongeBob SquarePants: in a cooking contest, Neptune lights his grill with magic and guides his ingredients through the air before assembling the 1000 burgers in seconds. They all end up tasting like shit compared to SpongeBob
Devil went down to Georgia: the Devil puts on a for more impressive display with flames and demons but Johnny was simply a better fiddler by comparison
The Egyptian high priests Hotep and Huy attempt to demonstrate their superiority over the Hebrew God, and therefore Moses, by using smoke, light, darkness and mirrors to pull off a series of illusions and parlor tricks

From a mechanical perspective, this is kind of the case for most multiplayer matches in the strategy game Total War: Warhammer 3. Instead of taking one super cool, flashy unit that also costs a lot, it's usually better to get several cheaper & mundane units that can still be used in a cost-effective manner.
