We briefly review observational manifestations of pulsars with giant pulse emission and consider quasi-giant pulse phenomena in other pulsars. We argue that power-law statistics give the best definition of giant pulses. Finally, we speculate as to the origin of the giant pulses and a possible link with high energy emission.
