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.
There’s no such thing as an “Italian-American accent”. American accents are distinct based on region, not ethnicity. That wouldn’t even make any sense. 🤦🏽♀️ And if you were referring to a stereotypical NYC/NJ accent, this isn’t even that accent. At all.
not even kidding this would be the perfect dating show...make the bachelorette show all this progress then bring in some random average yet tall man and watch it all crumble
You know, it's easy to say that Chloe Fineman wrote this so she can make out with the host, and that is at least 80 to 90% true. But no one stops to think about what you said: that maybe Marcello Hernandez also had a hand in writing it because he probably was rejected a lot by girls in favor of a taller man.
@@hannahcraig6763 Not many out there like you. I've dated taller women though, and us guys usually don't care. Hope you enjoy another short guy down the road!
This is EXACTLY like the reality show "Average Joe". A beautiful woman dated a bunch of average-looking guys. But THE MOMENT they introduced hot guys as a twist, she chose one of them.
Oh yeah I remember that show, the beautiful woman and the average joes were there looking for love, but the hot guys were there to be on TV and a vacation not to fall in love as some of them claimed, and the woman couldn’t see this cause she couldn’t get past their hotness!
And then people felt so bad for the "average" guy who was a finalist but didn't get chosen that they put him on his own season as the bachelor role with a bunch of average and hot women....and he chose the hot finalist girl over the girl next door finalist girl lmao
Yup. When push comes to shove many girls would rather have a tall lowlife abusive alcoholic with a couple DUIs, no car, lives at home and no job then a guy who would dare be under 5'9 and has his shit together and treat her well. It's the world we live in. Social media has a huge impact on young girls and they would be embarrassed to have a guy who doesn't tower over them.
@@Meik-n9h ok I get it. If women sees a tall handsome man they would do everything to be with that man. If I was a woman I would defienitly go for a tall man plus that tall man gets to carry you around without your heels which is a win win which is what makes love special.
look i've dated guys that were 6'5" and guys that were 5'4" and not only did i never feel the need to crouch awkwardly in photos in order to appear shorter than my date, the short guys were just way better boyfriends. and i'll be honest, it's actually pretty nice to be able to kiss my date without craning my neck at a 90-degree angle.
I dated guys closer to the 5'7-5'9 range for years because of the neck craning. Thankfully gave my now husband a chance despite him being over 6 feet. 😂
I was at the funeral of a highschool friend last weekend and it definately morphed into a 'golden short king' episode for me once all the couples had taken leave.
Thank goodness i grew up in an older generation cuz women were not nearly as hung up on height, or overall as shallow as they've become in the social media age. It's almost as if men are just there to raise their own status in competition with other women... 🤔 Hmm
Make fun of someone for being overweight, something that's changeable, and people will throw a fit. Make fun of someone for being short, something that's not changeable, and no one cares.
Look at the positive: at least you don't have to waste time to weed out the shallow, narrow minded and superficial women that you don't want to end up with anyway ;)
Women do that with men in general. Most don’t like being bothered regardless of your appearance. Being approached while minding your business can be annoying
I'm a girl. And what you say is true to a certain degree cuz of how we are programmed by nature. Still, when you have something that makes you stand out, like charm, charisma, talent, wit, intelligence, creativity and a good and reliable character, believe me, girls consider. Also, style is very important - like how you carry yourself, your demeanor and how you can carry a good conversation with a girl. I'm speaking from experience. I say, if you really like a girl, just be sincere and consistent and show her your charms.
Like seriously, Bowen and Marcello, I love you. I have a friend who swears he cannot get a date because of his height (probably close to these guys).... to those women I say: you are sucky and shallow. Come on: Bowen and Marcello, both total catches (except B's gay but whatevs, still a catch).
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.
The problem is that there's nothing anyone can do about height. you can work on everything else but that's not enough. i think guys are willing to accept women for things they can control not things they can't @elistari1050
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. This is more prevalent for those who grew up with a smart phone I've noticed, they're just overall dumber in every way 😂 lots of knowledge but no wisdom on what to do with any of it except again use it like an accessory to make themselves look good lol
I think the sketch would have worked better if they didn't make the short guys look and act rather pathetic. The short guy jokes got repetitive and there's no payoff, just killing time between when Elordi's character is introduced and he and Chloe making out.
Just occurred to me that Krusty's lecture about hitting people with pies could apply to this sketch: "The pie gag's only funny when the sap's got dignity!"
I agree. While there's some definitely blackpilled messaging with this sketch, I also couldn't help but notice that they made all three short guys (yes I know the 2nd one is a woman but I digress) seem rather corny and even borderline self-deprecating which I found pretty annoying. I'm a 5'6 guy myself and while I have always been self-conscious about it, I would like everyone to understand that most of us short guys still act every bit as normal as our taller peers and not in that overused "confidence" manner either that often seems contrived and phoney
Imagine calling yourself a short king dude have some fucking respect these people don’t fucking respect us whatsoever they just call us that coz they pity short men
This showed that he can’t act for shit. I didn’t laugh even an ounce during any of these skits. Not just because of the script but because this Jacob guy literally was cringy to watch. More so that the script entails.
@@nawdude4292the guys who like bigger girls only do so because they know they can’t get a hot fit chick. You bet your ass they’d rather get with Margot Robbie than Melissa McCarthy
@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.
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
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.
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.
😂 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!
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.
@@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.
Three of the skits from this episode were solely based around Jacob Elordi walking in halfway through the sketch and everyone being flustered cuz he's hot. Come on SNL lol
for real, can you imagine them making a dating game "Crown your Fat Queen" and having a random fit girl show up at the end and having the fat girls be the butt of all the jokes?
it happens in real life, thats why its supposed to be hilarious. "i write in my dating apps if your not over 6ft swipe left" is what the girl in the green dress said, which is pretty accurate in real life
Wouldnt wish that on anyone, but let’s see the “slay all day queeen” comments if lets say a 20 something actress had a similar experience with an over 30 male cast member.
I thought body shaming was something society frowned on these days? Weird how male height is pretty much the only thing it's still socially acceptable to make fun of people for, without consequences. If you think I'm exaggerating, just picture the same sketch, but replace - 'Men under 5'8' - with - 'Women over 180lbs' - and try to imagine if as many people would find it funny.
Tall women. Being a tall woman with a shorter or average height guy is still seen as odd or weird. It's funny how people talk about how women want taller guys, and never question why these tall guys want short women?
Yes turn it around and find blame with men. The statistics show guys are willing to date a greater range of heights including taller than them much much more than women willing to date even their own fkin height SMH. But yeah, guys suck right smh
Jesus Christ. There's always one. 🙄 The whole point of the sketch was satirizing male body standards. You just won't understand unless it comes in the form of a strongly worded blog post.

@@Repdem not as shallow as your comment, that's true

I am a woman who has dated short guys. It's not a selection criterion.
@@Repdem Yes they are
I hate how accurate this is (written as a short king)
This was perfect to capitalize off Jacob’s projection in entertainment! He proved he has range lol
you mean height
Unfortunately it showed he is not a great actor
This showed that he can’t act for shit. I didn’t laugh even an ounce during any of these skits. Not just because of the script but because this Jacob guy literally was cringy to watch. More so that the script entails.
there is no way this skit was not made for chloe making out with jacob lmao
Did they really makeout? It must be so weird for them at the end of the skit
The sad but true reality when it comes to dating.
I like my short kings, hugs and kisses are the best at the same level ❤❤❤
At 5'7", this sketch just made me depressed. Justice for short kings.
It'll never happen. Fuckin fat people get more respect and consideration SMH
Short kings are great!
As someone whos 5'4", them saying anyone under 5'8" is short made me die a little.
C’mon SNL..”Crown your Stunning and Brave Plus Sized Princess” next week. You are on a roll..
yes.
They already did a skit with the same gender swapped joke with Jennifer lopez
Except there's plenty of guys who like bigger girls. The number of girls willing to date even their own height is practically null
@@nawdude4292the guys who like bigger girls only do so because they know they can’t get a hot fit chick. You bet your ass they’d rather get with Margot Robbie than Melissa McCarthy
Marcello looks so handsome in that suit.
love Marcello he has so many layers!!!!
‘Kinda till have a girlfriend and need $200 000.’ Is just so real somehow. And they still get the girl 😂
This one hurt
Chics are legit like this irl
That dress on Chloe 🔥😻
I'm surprised this isn't a real show yet!
Give it a year 😂
No need, it’s real life
Wait a week.
Chloe is the absolute best. Hilarious.
As I man who claims to 5'8, but knows I'm probably under that, I feel this sketch.
@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.
@juho5282 Great men and
women, and attractive ones,
obviously come in all colours
shapes and sizes and so do
negative figures.
😂😂😂😂 little bachelors 2:43
heightpill - SNL, it's over - SNL, never get up - SNL, take your pick.
I would pick Marcello 10 times out of 10 if the choice is between him and Elordi
Same!
I’m 5ft tall and simply don’t know what to think. I need a minute
Its over
You are taller than Alexander
the great and Kit Carson.
It is LITERALLY joever.
@@therearewormsundermyskinth2928never over
@@ruggerobelloni4743 hey thanks!
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
Well said!!! Salute!! 🫡
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.
Yeah its sucks when people literally have zero control over it
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 man who is 5’3… yeah 😭
It literally never began.
😂 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!
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.
@@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.
I just love how one of the things about him that was supposed to be off putting was that he's from my city.
It was funny the way Marcello said, "ha, ha, ha."
🤔
Three of the skits from this episode were solely based around Jacob Elordi walking in halfway through the sketch and everyone being flustered cuz he's hot. Come on SNL lol
Awww... short guys are people too... nice message.
for real, can you imagine them making a dating game "Crown your Fat Queen" and having a random fit girl show up at the end and having the fat girls be the butt of all the jokes?
I love how the audience started laughing as soon as they realized Molly was one of the guys. 😂
The moment the host mentioned a twist, I knew there is gonna be a tall guy in the mix. And he always wins! 😂
As a short king at 5’8… I laughed and got angry simultaneously.
5'8 is not short
5,8 is average. You're not short, you're normal.
@mr.giggles6265chronically online
@@elistari1050 Id beg to disagree. Its normal for a Latino like myself. But I do think most guys are taller. Just what I notice.
5’8” ain’t short.
All humor is real at its core
As a 5’5” dude I wish I could be offended by this…more than anything I’m disappointed at how lazily written and poorly executed this sketch was.
it happens in real life, thats why its supposed to be hilarious.
"i write in my dating apps if your not over 6ft swipe left" is what the girl in the green dress said, which is pretty accurate in real life
see jacob pull away from Chloe after she took him by surprise with the full on kiss ? she goes in again near the end but he aint having any of it lol
Wouldnt wish that on anyone, but let’s see the “slay all day queeen” comments if lets say a 20 something actress had a similar experience with an over 30 male cast member.
Lmao the tiny crown
I thought body shaming was something society frowned on these days?
Weird how male height is pretty much the only thing it's still socially acceptable to make fun of people for, without consequences.
If you think I'm exaggerating, just picture the same sketch, but replace - 'Men under 5'8' - with - 'Women over 180lbs' - and try to imagine if as many people would find it funny.
Only women get a pass for being fat / ugly etc
Tall women. Being a tall woman with a shorter or average height guy is still seen as odd or weird. It's funny how people talk about how women want taller guys, and never question why these tall guys want short women?
Yes turn it around and find blame with men. The statistics show guys are willing to date a greater range of heights including taller than them much much more than women willing to date even their own fkin height SMH. But yeah, guys suck right smh
This is SNL which is comedy. Nothing is off limits with comedy or at least that is the way it was when comedy was really funny.
Jesus Christ. There's always one. 🙄 The whole point of the sketch was satirizing male body standards. You just won't understand unless it comes in the form of a strongly worded blog post.
Hey! I thought it was Heidi who always tries to make out with the hunky guest host! 🤣
Don’t forget Ego
Ego and Jason sudekis… that was some spark! Loved it!
Heidi does it only if she can also be cheating on a dude in the sketch as well. It’s weird.
How loud do you think the person who wrote this was saying "I swear it sound funnnier on paper" while it was bombing live?
