Hey, it worked for that Jason Momoa sketch where Jason comes back after being stranded on an island for years. Only here, there's no fear that Chloe (Fineman, not Troast) is getting tossed around like a ragdoll. She and Jacob might fall, but it's not that dangerous. Also, I think Marcello Hernandez could have co-wrote this, since he's probably had issues with getting women because of his height. There was a Weekend Update commentary on it.

[@elistari1050]

Not really. I mean, the average man is under 6 feet, and the average man has a partner, so. Yeah, not really all that accurate. The problem is, a lot of men go for women who tend to have very specific....personalities and physical appearances that make them the type of people to only want someone "over 6 feet". Whilst overlooking women who are pretty or average, who have great personalities and don't care about height. This ultimately makes these men guilty of the same thing they accuse women of; being vain and shallow, only caring about physical appearence. Average men want the physically most beautiful women, but those beautiful women want the physically most beautiful men. So average men feel like ALL women just want ridiculously tall guys and average women feel like ALL men want super models; because they're both judging the entire other gender based on the preferences of the most beautiful people. It's a vicious cycle.

[@toitman2]

[@nawdude4292]

While there's truth in your statement you're either overlooking or not realizing the social pressure women put on each other the way they compete with each other for vain things like shoes and purses so then their choices in men become about their status and men are treated more like accessory shopping than finding who's right for them.

That's the one joke that made me laugh-cringe. In every single social situation, I'm "squirt," "buddy," "partner," "scout." I'm 30.

[@GenX1969]

I watched a video of guys paying $20k for leg lengthening surgery and the comment section was full of people putting them down and saying they would never do something like that if they were short. Tons of women saying “I love short kings” The truth is short guys are in pain. Why not recognize skits like this are humiliating. When things are mean spirited, it’s just not funny anymore

[@vereen70]

Well said!!! Salute!! 🫡

[@QHG415]

I think this skit is meant to make fun of and satirize women’s standards and how they are more likely to pick a tall loser over pretty much any short man. If anything, I think it draws awareness to how brutal it is for short men in the dating market. Sometimes satire is the best way to do that. Also, the skit was written by Marcello Hernandez, who plays one of the “short kings” in the skit.

[@philip7833]

Yeah its sucks when people literally have zero control over it

[@iamnatalieanne]

While I get what you're saying, it was written by Marcello (tiny Teddy), we saw him at the imrpov last night and the short king things is always part of his comedy. It's satire, not meant to be hurtful. My dad is 5 foot 5 and he was laughing his ass off (my mom is like 5 9 and it's never been an issue for them) - you just gotta find the right person and have a positive mindset. If it bothers you, it will bother others.

As a short king, why is this body shaming okay? This is really insulting.

[@dillpete4122]

cuz short guys are the only people in society it is acceptable to mock

[@Dnichols619]

I'm a short dude. I didnt think it was comedy gold, a lot of low hanging fruit, pun intended, but I liked it. Nice to not be invalidated for once. Usually people just pretend like this doesn't happen. "No women don't prefer other men because you're short. It's because you're a lazy, stupid, charmless psychopath... AND you're short."

[@svscared]

I feel like this was more so shaming how women can be shallow when it comes to the height of a potential mate.

[@pookiesis1465]

Boohoo

[@godnah]

@@svscared I watched the sketch again, and yes it's about shallow women. But just replace "short" with any other type of characteristic that you can't change. Try doing this with "Black king" and then introduce a white guy, do you see the problem now?

As I man who claims to 5'8, but knows I'm probably under that, I feel this sketch.

[@ruggerobelloni4743]

@juho5282 I'm 5'8, a tad over 173. We are taller than Redford, Newman, Cruise, Nicholson, and legends like Alan Ladd, Bogey and Cagney, all Giants as artists. Forget historical figures like Alexander, 4'11. Ok Lincoln was tall and also many other greats but I met quite a few big lugs with the blood facing such a long trip that It barely reached the brain.

[@ruggerobelloni4743]

@juho5282 Great men and women, and attractive ones, obviously come in all colours shapes and sizes and so do negative figures.

How loud do you think the person who wrote this was saying "I swear it sound funnnier on paper" while it was bombing live?

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

😂 This is pretty much the dating scene now in big coastal cities. Only the cut off is 6’, not 5’8”. The smaller the woman the more a guy’s height is important as well. There’s going to be a huge spinster community in 10 years because many women can’t get over it. Of course men are picky now as well. Have fun!

[@jasonb2089]

I've noticed this being on the apps in a coastal city. I'm 5'7 and most of the women who "like" me first are 5'6-5'9. Just my experience of course, but super interesting how medium height to slightly tall women seem to care less about height.

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

@@jasonb2089 Yes, most smaller or average height guys will do just fine if they don’t completely depend on dating apps. It just seems to reduce the dating pool a bit. Luckily there are lots of things guys can do (as well as women) that make them desirable mates in the long run. But the tall trend is annoying.
