As a fellow short man (5'3), 31 years old, and also named Andrew, I've never felt closer to another stand up comedian.
dam u shorter than me bout time F in chat for ya tho lol
I am also a 5'3" Andrew. I have 2 sons over 6'. Guess who basically never bumps their head, doesn't worry about my feet hanging over the end of the bed and can fit in the back seat of pretty much any vehicle. I don't have any trouble finding shoes in my size or pants long enough. My feet reach all the way to the ground and there's generally always some giant around to grab things off the top shelf at Wal-Mart so....seems I'm the perfect height.
I feel that lol I'm 5"2
I really get you since I'm almost as short (5'11''). But at least we don't have to worry about back pain, like the large fellows. #ShortKings
@@epaminon6196 5’11” is SHORT❓ That’s like, a whole foot taller than me 😂
My wife’s grandfather was a short guy, probably around 5’3” or so. He said that he always was resentful to the big guys, until he spent 3 years in a Russian POW camp. He looked up and locked eyes with me (6’2” here), and said “the big guys didn’t get enough food, and they died. I could survive on less.”
First time in my life I was afraid of a diminutive nonagenarian.
it's also why people don't get as tall...malnutrition can also stunt your growth...probably for that reason
Sounds like he's still resentful and insecure if he felt the need to tell you that.
If I i spent 3 years in a Russian POW, I couldn't stop bringing it up.@@mitchell102
@@mitchell102 Have the world look down at you your entire life and maybe the resentment and insecurity is justified.
It also paid to be short in Vietnam. You did have to crawl underground though...
The "critter pace" really got me. As a 4'11 girl with a 6 ft, still growing, best friend, I really move a lot faster than would ever be expected. I take 2 steps for every one of hers, and yet it works so...
im the tall one in the duo of my and my best friend and i've seen first hand how people under the average height make up for it in one way or another, for example, having to tell people she talks a lot (you will not get a word in, love her, but whoooo boy) like people think they can handle it without being classically trained
Sameeeee I'm 4'11" girl with a 6'3" husband so i feel you 😅 🥹
@@marinaarellano436As a toxic person on the internet, I am obliged to give my very rude and unsolicited opinion, that I would otherwise not say to your face which is that you and your husband have a gross relationship. He's attracted to children, and you are likely a burden in the relationship and are ok with that. You are welcome, anytime.
@@14104 what the frick 😂
I'm 4'8" and my husband is 6ft.
I’m 5’3” and had never heard of the term short king until one of my best friends told me a couple years ago. She’s a 5’10” blonde German immigrant. We got married last fall.
I'm 5'5" and just very average. But two of my close friends are 6'4" and 5'0" so it's rather comical when we hang out. One time I hugged both of them at the same time and our heads just kind of stacked perfectly
Duuude.....awesomeness....I need to see that picture
Totum
This is delightful
Naaawwww!!! ❤❤❤
OK 55 if you’re a girl is average , guy not average Unless you’re from Mars
Keep Killin it Bud, Short King Domination.
💪😎
My tired brain initially read that as "Keep it Krillin" XD
except lord farquaad
(that one got me)
@@gracieluke He wasn't a king.
I just realized that Fred Flintstone & Barney were short kings too
😂😂😂 "i got that critter pace" has me dying
The short people being the ones carrying the photos is so true 😂 as someone who is 5.1 (might still grow) this is hilarious
5.1? 5.1 what?
As someone who is 6' even can attest to that, being slightly above average I haven't been in a group photo where I was in picture that my mouth was in.
That tall guy may tap the doorframe on his way through, but it's funny as hell when he gets a concussion from the low pipe I just walked under.
Even funnier if they get decapitated by the low pipe
I gotta hand it to you Drew, my daughter sent me a picture of her and a friend with you after a show. You were the high point of the photo. Big smile and a thumbs up. Those girls were thrilled. thank you. You rock!
But how tall is your daughter :)
I’ve heard you make short jokes before and assumed you were still taller than me but knowing you were my exact height actually made my day. It’s always a good day when I find another 5’4 dude.
same here. 5'4. Horray. (i think) 😂
short lives matter
@@mr_green33not according to women they don't like us short peeps
Saaaaaaame! Five-Four all day long…or short 🤣
I too am a member of the 5'4" club. Too tall for munchkinland, too short for everything else.
First time seeing Drew since AGT. It is amazing how he has learned to utilize his speech issues to absolutely perfect his timing. Seriously one of the best comedians in the business.
Back in school, I used to slap the doorframe…. I was smaller than 5ft at the time so whenever I did manage to slap the doorframe by jumping, I’d get the most insane adrenaline rush of power XD
As a 19 year old standing at 5'3", Drew, I feel your pain. This was such an insightful episode for me ever since I started watching your specials and all other vids with you in it!
I'm a 5 ft italian woman and my favourite line to say is: I'm too small, there's no space for fear
I 100% agree with the short people in the front for a photo. Any time at school photos the person just stares at me for a second and goes *"On your knees in the front"* I make sure to ruin every photo I'm in. I will be staring daggers at the camera, and getting the photo back fills me with much joy as I see my face looking like a little murderer and everyone else fearing for their lives.
Right? Just get me a stool to stand on or put me in the middle. I’ve been 5’6 for thirteen years. I’m 22, and they always had me in the front sitting in my knees. It was annoying
Im NOT short.....im vertically challenged...😂😂😂😂
Damn Drew, your jokes have reached a whole another level man. I've always loved your sense of humor, but now it's so much more refined and smooth. Pure joy to watch and listen to you. Thank you for the entertainment.
As a 5'7" guy I've also been rejected by a taller woman in a club I didn't even approach, just passed near her. I did tell her to eff off though lol.
Your as tall as Tom Cruise, that's cool
Stand up for yourself medium king!
Not tall enough to be respected and not short enough to be a fetish. As a fellow 5'4" that one had me cracking. So true! 😂😭
I'm five foot and 3 quarters... We had to take work photos this week. In front and center every freaking time. lol! This was great! We short folk don't have to duck a lot so take that!
"I am Mexican. Got it? #&@^!". "
This dude still as good, probably better, as his AGT days
I remember his story on AGT and just think it's really kool he still doing his thang. 👊🏽✌🏽
"You'll never see me go outside and slap a curb" Has me HOWLING in the doctors office😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤣
Damn you man!!! My name is Conner and I’m 6’2” and I tap the damn doorframe 😂😂 💀💀💀
I feel this one in my soul. I'm 5'4-5'5 my husband is 6ft, my parents and siblings are between 5'8-6ft. My 13 year old son is 5'10, and even my daughter (8) is 5ft. I'm a mushroom in a forest of evergreens my guy.
As a 5'1 teen who is done growing, i can confirm everything. I'm also the same height as my mother.
You still have a few years to potentially grow a bit more don't give up! lmao
" 👈 that represents inches
“Critter pace” has me DYING
*_'I'm down there being water-boarded'_* 😆😂🤣
Very very clever comedian. Great intelligence shown throughout this show. Hilarious with lots of subtlety.
Why does this read like a product review 😂
@@AriaHarmony I was thinking a movie critic! 😂
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. ahh that makes more sense 😂but I had a laugh imagining the rest of your reply going "9/10 would buy again" lol
I can SO RELATE to critter pace. Also 5’4” here and shortest person in my family (most are 6 foot). Trying to “walk with them” is them walking and me jogging.
I'm 5' even and the picture thing is 100% true! Drew's right, I'm sick of being in the front and always having to look good and perform like a circus freak. As far as "short" men goes I would love, love, love to be with a man who is 5' 4" or thereabouts.
In the 50's it was normal and 5.6 was tall!
I don't know in the US but in Europe (depends on you live) people aren't very tall. Except North, obviously. But there is everything!
And all old cities are very nice, with old bricks wall and facades, and then it is the tall people who can't enjoy 😂 argh!
What are you gonna do? Stand behind the tall people? 🤔
I don't know what friend or business group expects short people to perform like circus freaks in group photos; I'd suggest finding another. I loved this routine but I have to say I found the photo part the least relatable. There's a "my life experiences animated" type CZcamsr who made a video called "short" that considers it a perk of shortness to always be the star of every group photo, and this is in my experience the more dominant one among us shorties. Of course it will vary drastically based on whether you like being in photos!
That first line had me laughing like a fool in my break room 😂
As a tall, still growing teenager, I was 5'3" in the sixth grade. Killing it dude
I was 6' in 6th grade.
@@bigguy7353 I was 5'3 in 9th grade.
I hit 6 ft when I was 15 and never grew after that 😂 I’m 30 now.
Good luck. I am in my 70’s and still your height. I haven’t started getting shorter yet.
Okay man, no need to brag lmao
5'1 since 5th grade. Can confirm. 😂
Slap that curb Drew, slap it. 😂😂
You should have felt taller in 5th grade and shorter when you were 21 i guess
As a tall guy, the doorframe tap is the same instinct as tong clicking. You just gotta.
Only if us shorties can slap your butt as we walk by at our "critter pace"! 😂
No, you don’t.
Drew is absolutely hilarious. Absolutely love his comedy
I’m 💀… Drew is so naturally funny 😂!!! I hope to see his show in person one day😅
He's got the critter pace. 😂
Mr. Lynch, you’re a great comedian. Thank you!
I'm 4'11" and my fiance' is 5'6"- we lucked out, it's kind of perfect haha.
We've had issues with the height thing when it has come to exes (and people) for both of us.
This skit was hilariously accurate
Are y’all gonna have kids and risk vertically challenging an innocent boy for the rest of his life?
Drew, this may be the funniest clip of yours I've ever seen. I am glad I was not drinking anything, I would have done 3 spit takes. Awesome job, buddy.
As a tall guy, yeah this is all pretty accurate 😂😂
I see it all the time but you guys don't notice it
@@TheDrewLynch this rarified air really messes with our vision, you know?
I'm 6 foot 4 lol and I stutter entire sentences. Lol I even have a delay in my auditory processing I swear.
@@MarkB7774 6'4" gang! We out here slapping doorframes
@@darmakx99 Be honest, we slap doorframe with our heads going down stairs.
Drew, you're great and an inspiration too. I'm so glad to see your success.
If you're wrong it's a felony 😆👏😆. You freaking kill me Drew
I GOT THAT CRITTER PACE
God, in sixth form one of the guys I hung out with all the time was 6'something, while I'm a whole 4'11" (and a bit - can't forget the bit). Heading up the stairs to class in the morning he was taking like 3 steps at a time EASILY and I was there looking like the pup named Scooby Doo version of Velma trying to keep up, that's always how I've described it. I like "critter pace"
There is 1 perk to being short in the military. When they do ceremonies of any kind its from tallest to shortest. So all the tall people have to be in the front of the formation havint to stand still for a long time where as the short people get to relax a bit out of sight from everyone looking at the front of the formation...ifykyk
I'm civilian but from what I've seen and talked to the military is all around a great place to be a short man! There are very cool jobs that are disqualified for too-tall guys but apart from ceremonial guards none for too-short guys. Also, while I (5'3") strongly feel the disrespect-from-other-men thing is grossly exaggerated in any context and is basically a cope for people to avoid thinking about what else about them might cause other men to have no respect for them, the military seems to be an exceptionally good setting for respect for short guys. For the simple reason that the setting provides such obvious and manifest means for a man to earn respect in the eyes of his comrades, there's really not much room left for silly stereotypes and assumptions like a short guy is less worthy of respect or capable or less of a man. I think it's not hard for a short guy to earn respect in the military, it's done all the time afaik and people barely think about it. Only to people who have led a life of frivolity does it seem odd or weird for a 6'3" guy to show respect to a 5'3" guy. Surely he thinks of himself as superior or more masculine, or the other guy as a little kid or whatever, deep down. Well, no. (And again, I think it's mostly serious insecurity that makes anyone, tall or short, think otherwise.)
As a 5' female I so relate!!!😂
My dad was 5' 4" but he's already shrunk and now he's 5' 2". We had a good laugh about how I'll be the tallest in my family soon (I'm 5' 1"). Aging is not nice to short people. 😂
Short people live longer than tall people
@@dforrest4503…. Doesn’t matter if I live till I am 90 or 82. I would rather live a good life than have a slightly longer end to it
If I knew I would shrink (I’m 78) I would have hung upside down long in Freshman year when I got to 5’ even ! 😮😂
This man is brilliant. I saw some other videos by him but he was stuttering and he had me believing he really did stutter. Now I see this. (P.S. I am a short person and searched for “short people” here.) And now I have found out that he really DID have a stutter and he has improved so much that I thought the stuttering was an act. He is still brilliant and amazing.
These 10-14 min clips are GOLD bro! F’ing Hilarious!!! This defiantly delivered
You just keep getting better Drew! Absolutely crushing it.
I’m not that short at 5 foot eight… But I was a late bloomer and I always got picked up for being short and I didn’t get picture stuff even though it was better. Smarter. Just wasn’t bigger. Thank you so much this comedy is hilarious gold and it’s the funniest short person jokes I’ve ever heard.
Omg "relationship to the ground not the sky." 😂😂😂
WOW, you are hilarious! Great delivery! I was laughing continually throughout!
I absolutely love Drew! From his first appearance on AGT to today, he is consistently hilarious and he just gets better and better!
Dude i saw your clips back in the day idk how you overcame the stutter but its amazing, with or without you are dope
Critter pace....story of my life...AND front of the photos!!! YES😂
Psychologists huff and puff about humour being a defence as if that's a bad thing. Defence, in all it's forms, gives you power. Drew you are using yours to the absolute best effect educating us, making us cry with laughter and revealing your unique wonderful personality. Thanks dude
You are hilarious - "critter pace" rofl!
All the short royalty, kings, queens, and imperial rulers alike rise up. The photo one got me. 😅
Door frame tapper’s probably also wearing sunglasses at nighttime
Critter pace 😂 I so get that
Sign of a awesome 👌 comedy set: me rushing to the bathroom before I wet myself.
And "Andrés" delivered. Bravo sir. You are hilarious 😂
Saw this after your TED talk! "if she has a stutter, is it a deal breaker?" 😂 been following you since AGT.
I once did an experiment where I wore undetectable lifts (approx. +4 inches) to events. At first, I figured there would be no difference. But, nope! People approached me, took interest in me, chatted with more engagement. It was actually surreal. Again, I thought I was imagining things, but every instance where I tried the experiment, the results were always similar. When I didn't wear them, almost no one took notice of me. 💪😎✌️ It's a great feeling. Lived with it all my existence, too! Good stuff.
As a Fellow Short King, I felt this on so many levels... Dumb question, how tall is your wife's dad? When I met my girl's dad, it was like meeting a Tower, Slenderman, Groot, Tall Things Etc. Honestly scared the crap out me...
Me being 5'0" I totally understand the critter pace lmao. We've got little legs
I went on a date with a short guy and he was upset how tall I was. I'm only 5'6. So, I changed my heels into sneakers. He was STILL upset I was taller than him. A second date didn't happen. I didn't have an issue with his height, he did tho and more so with my height. Why should I try to be 'shorter' to appease a man's ego, especially when I'm not that tall to begin with! If you can't handle me in heels you don't deserve me in flats or, whatever Marilyn Monroe said
*the guy was like 4'9 max and really, the biggest 'lady boner killer' was, he was into 'industrial 90's music' and Tool was his favorite band
I'm a 5'5" dude and it never bothered me when a lady is taller then me. Sometimes it's more fun! It's unfortunate you've only met insecure short guys.
Its the insecurity that women like or prefer taller men so he probably put it out as he didnt like it before you could say anything idk. but thats red flag type insecure
@@raziel9856 oh, I've only known confidante short guys before so, this was not a normal experience for me. Actually, as a kid I was a gymnast so, 'short' can be an advantage. Anyway, I wouldn't judge someone one their height but, 'content of character'
What's wrong with liking a particular kind of music?
If it is the only kind of music that someone likes is one kind to the exclusion of all others, I could see it. If you like the person, you could introduce them to other things.
@@McKavian it's a preference and, I've found certain types of 'favorite music' can also be a 'red flag'. Sting, Phil Collins, New Country (I could go on) are just not things I can not tolerate in a potential romantic partner. Leaves the toilet seat up? Short? Kinda dumb? Not a deal breaker. But if he listens to Offspring or Nickleback? GTFO
So hilarious, had the crowd going wild the whole time! Short people unite!
Critter pace 😂 I can relate.
I came up with, put some throttle in your waddle 😁
As another short adult man I felt this to my core, and I can probably never see Shrek again hahah
I love that i just discovered you. Got plenty to catch up on.. you are hilarious 😭😭
You still got it Drew!
Some disadvantages of being tall to help the short guys feel better; airplanes are very uncomfortable.
It's harder to pick stuff up off the ground.
We hit our heads on things.
People make us reach for things.
I’m 4’ 11” and I RARELY ask anyone besides store personnel and my own family members to reach anything for me, and when it comes to my own family I only ask when they happen to be right where I want to reach - otherwise I’ll climb on stepstools, chairs, counters, tables and ladders just so I can reach stuff w/o bothering anyone 😅
I carry an umbrella/parasol with me every time I go out and have basically perfected the art of using the end of it to knock products off the top shelves in supermarkets and catch them as they fall, but I’m always grateful whenever a taller stranger notices what I’m trying to do and takes the thing off the shelf for me out of the kindness of his/her heart, because depending on how heavy or breakable the product packaging is, it can be a dangerous business 😅
I always ask the closest tall person, at the store, to reach things! I mean, I would get things from the bottom shelf for them ,if they asked! 😉
My illegal name Andres! Ha! 😂🤣
As a short person in a family of tall people I enjoy reminding them I am fun size.
The cadence is very Neil Patrick Haris. fantastic. 😍
omg he’s just getting better and better 😂😂😂😂😂😂
7:06 the joke about how short people hate when tall people touch the top of the door frame lol, my son turned 14 last week and he’s 5’6/7 and I’m his mother, 5’1 and I got mad over the weekend when he did that 😂
10:51 “I look like a toddler who saw a toy he likes”…or two toys lol. 🍉🍉
I love you Drew.
I'm a 5'10" woman, and I frequently refer to myself as an Amazon. 😂
This is hilarious. 😂 Please come to FL. I know it sucks here but that's why we need comedy ♥️
I'm only 5'8", but I was the tallest girl in school all 12 years. My daughters are 6'1" and 6'2"; they were constantly mistaken for teachers in junior high. Their pet peeve was the local coaches whispering "basketball!" whenever they walked by. 😂
Drew left out the biggest complaint my short friends have, but maybe it's only a female thing: taller people patting the tops of their heads, calling them 'cute,' and assuming they have the right to bodily pick them up.
@@SouthCountyGal I would say that every thing in the second part is acceptable from friends and family - but only with concent. I put my chin on my sisters head and introduce her as my big sister. Then she elbows me in the ribs. We laugh.
But, I agree that if you don't give concent, broken fingers should be used as a learning tool to not give head pats. Reverse headbutts for those that pick you from behind.
Also, when I call a short person cute, its not because of your size. Its because you are cute.
It sucks so much in FL thats why everyones moving there.
"Critter pace" - I felt that. 👍
As a short kid, I can totally relate to Drew. I feel ya bro
3:19 I'm 5' 4" myself and, dude you nailed it with that line
❤ If you can ever go see him live… Do It! He is hilarious. I cry- laughed through the whole thing.
As a fellow short person, I understand these things too well. Although I was used as an armrest at times and would warn my tall friends that I could cut them at the knees when they called me cute. ^.^ Though will say, I can move through crowded places a lot easier.
"Still got it!"
Man I hope it's not contagious!
Wife and her toy is hilarious!
HOW DID NO ONE LAUGH AT " I can't even smash the like button". !?!!? So funny dude , wtf.? I love comedians like Drew , the super clever humor is hilarious! ... I'm convinced the audience were all either running on low on their hearing aid battery or they were just "a little special" 😂
Drew, any plans on coming back to Ct? Had so much fun at your show!!
& Sorry I asked for a picture before hand, I didn't know we got to meet you at the end. I know you probably don't care lol but I figured I'd say it🙃
Love the Andres joke😂
This was one of my favorite parts of the special. My belly hurt by the end of it. Great job on this 1 Añdrés!! Been a fan since I 1st seen you on AGT & you've grown in your comedy & as an inspiration to a whole group of men that you probably have no idea how you're comedy helps us get through the day. Thank you for keeping America Great Again!! #BANANA 🍌🌊 #MMMMMM 🫴🤱🍼🤌🙋🍄🪩🪩
You're so brilliant man 🤣
Drew is so funny. I love his type of humor. One of my friends from highschool had a thing for short guys. I kinda get it now though. He's adorable.
I think my laughter would have been more if I could of stopped and breathed. I was laughing so hard im done turned blue 😆
Congratulations man 😂🎉 been following you since day one. Godbless.
Loved this set. 🎉
Personally, I like being able to fit comfortably in planes and roller coasters…😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤ you're so hilarious!!!!
I felt understood and attacked at the same time! The short people in the front bit is so familiar, but then he came at me for tapping the top of the door frame. It's a good time for a lil stretch okay? Love Drew man, one of my favorite comedians.
omg, the toy, i just startled my cat and woke my mother in law, giving an explanation to neither. lmao epic!
