My favorite tall joke came from a show in the seventies called Make Me Laugh.

It pitted a contestant who would try not to laugh against a comedian.

The contestant was this tall guy.

Comedian: Wow. You're tall. Is there really a god?

Contestant lost immediately.

I couldn't find the video, do you have a link? I feel like delivery makes a good joke great.

That's a needle in a haystack search right there. It's just one of those things I remember seeing on TV from when I was six. I was six quite some time ago.

As a fellow giant:

Yes, I will get that thing in the shelf you can't reach.

No, I will not stop putting things on the shelf you can't reach.

Also:

Why the fuck are these counters so low!

As a normal almost 6 foot human:

Fuck these counters are low

You don’t need to be 6 foot tall to know that most showerheads are placed at dwarves height and leaning in a shower isn’t comfortable. Also, fuck my dad’s shower that is both low and small area. I had to open the door to rinse my head.

I used to be self conscious about my height as a teen (5'6" man now). These days I've come to love my height. It feels like everything was built just for me. I fit in everything perfectly, except your mom.

I’m 5’11” and used to have to kneel to shower at my old place

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

As a short af human that's 4'11:

Fuck these counters are perfect.

Depending on how you define "almost" 6 feet tall, you might be taller than normal. The average American man is like 5'9", and each inch above that gets less and less common

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

As a short dude. These counters are great!

[–] xintrik@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

As another barely under 6ft human, why are the counters at nut bruising height?

You guys have never experienced the low hanging halogen bulb glass chandelier ... The amount of times I have burned my ears simply can't be counted ...

How short are you?

What's your shoe size?

Is your dick big?

What is the diameter of the sun in comparison to the equation of an ant?

Red.......no Blue......ahhhhhhhh!

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Those answers are on the other side.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

What kind of ant? We talking bull, black, fire?

Clearly the man has suffered serious traumas. He's a friggin' eagles fan fercrissakes. That can't be good.

By the door.

Biff singing “Stop Asking Me The Questions” vibe

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

I need to make copies of this exactly and hand them out when asked the same question. I'm 5'5.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah I have some friends around that height. Might need to show them this, they’d like these.

[–] 108@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Tom Wilson does something like this as well

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Fair enough.
