Not sure I’m down with the spirit behind this joke… Thought I left this kind of humor behind on Reddit. We can do better than this.
I think Dinklage would be more offended at people tiptoeing around his height like it’s a sensitive and embarrassing matter.
He knows he’s short, we know he’s short. He’s not insecure he jokes all the time. It would be offensive if the joke was making fun at his appearance / height. It was more focused on the shield.
The joke IS making fun of his height. The shield looks like a pick, but the joke is that that “pick” looks so big because he is tiny.
Obviously an exaggeration but the joke is indeed using his height.
It’s such a silly joke. It’s not “omg hahaha look at how short he is” it’s “omg hahaha that shield does look like a guitar pick now!” and then you imagine him 3cm tall and it’s just an absurd image
Big if true

You fight like my sister!
I’ve fought your sister, that’s a compliment!
Great movie.
Make jokes at the expense of the disabled, races, transgenders, gays or religious people, and you will be rightly criticized and shamed for it.
Make jokes at the expense of people who are ugly, fat or short in stature, somehow that’s still okay with way too many people…
Make any kind of joke and inevitably someone will show up sharing their second-hand offended-ness.
Yeah sure. So lets make racist jokes again, because every joke offends someone … ?
I don’t seem to have this problem. I wonder why we have such different experiences…
You can make jokes about absolutely everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and more sensitive the subject, the funnier the joke has to be - so you better make sure it’s fucking hilarious and original.
People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same old punch line - the one along the lines of this post.
I’m not offended that OP made a joke about Peter Dinklage. I’m offended that it was a lame joke that I’ve seen a thousand times before.
To be fair, I think he is short enough to be considered disabled
Pretty sure he’d be much more offended if you called him disabled than about this joke.
that caption Goes hard
So many hurt feelings in this thread. Small people cant take a joke…
- It’s a rather lame joke. The premise has been used a thousand times already.
- It’s at the expense of someone’s disability. Ask yourself how often Peter Dinklage has seen this joke in his life.
You can joke about everything, but at least make a fucking effort.
Edit: Ah, f*** it.
Nah, that’s a Lego shield
LMFAO
