Well the short guy was also a total fuckwad

Well the short guy was also a total ~~fuckwad~~ Farquaad

I guess so...

sounds of planes flying

The reality of the situation for most short men who complain about women not liking them because of their height.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Short man syndrome is very real unfortunately

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I never connected those dots before 🤣

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's why I played in with the correction. Jeez, you must be fun at parties.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Says the person with the least original reply in the history of the internet

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I wasn't going for originality, I was sarcastically pointing out the fact that you're a spaz.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cope with your shit jokes and bland personality

[-] wallabra@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This thread is a good example of why aliens will never visit Earth.

I never thought about it like this, but lord farquaad is absolutely an incel.

[-] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Lord Farquaad- king of local Nice Guys™ chapter

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Should have used all that castle money to just hire whores.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Historically speaking, a very popular royal choice.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Well with the moniker "Butcher of the Congo" I can only assume he was building orphanages, hospitals, animal sanctuaries, and libraries.

Or enriching the world with the knowledge of choice meat cuts, dry cured ham, and chorizo?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, he was from Belgium, not Spain. He was all about that waffles and chocolate life.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 year ago

I mean, it was also a fascist or an ogre.

[-] MinusPi@yiffit.net 23 points 1 year ago

A fascist or an ogre you genuinely have a lot in common with

[-] WhipTheLlama@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Including that she was an ogre, too. She would have expected Lord Farquaad to kill her once he found out.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The thought plickens!!

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 year ago

The "message" of Shrek is pretty iffy.

  • Looks really are important
  • Ugly green people should only be with other ugly green people.
  • Not all ugly people are bad, but bad people are definitely ugly (short being ugly, of course).
[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

I thought the message was that ogres had layers and parfait was really delicious.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Also, donkeys talk and cats do too but with a Spanish accent

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's how I learned all cats are Spaniards.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Mmm that feels like a pretty big stretch. The whole point is that Fiona loves Shrek for who he is, not what he looks like. She didn't become an "ugly green person", because she was beautiful to Shrek and Shrek was beautiful to her.

Also, even if the idea was short=ugly (which I don't think it was, more just a king with a big ego and small stature), Shrek 2 is completely centered around Shrek feeling insecure next to what turns out to be a conventionally attractive bad guy.

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not all ugly people are bad, but bad people are definitely ugly (short being ugly, of course).

Well there’s only one bad person in Shrek 1, so that’s not really a good sample. If we move to the sequels there’s Charming who’s good looking but also an ass.

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Yes but have you seen ogre dong?

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes yes we’ve all seen “the gif”

[-] Batman@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

Shrek may have the personality of an ogre, but it seemed much preferable over that of Farquad's!

[-] Lexam@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

If you make fun of someone's physical trait that they have no control over, are you being a good person?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Not at that particular moment at least. I don't think that rises to the level of you are a bad person as a whole.

[-] wallabra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

How bad do you have to be to be considered an all around bad person? How should we weight different kinds of bad (stealing candy from a kid, vs graffiti on an ol granny's shirt)? Is there an objective measure of badness and how to sum it?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Sure here is my 900 page dissertation on it.

No I don't think one shitty remark one time means you are irredeemably a bad person. Just because I can't tell you where the line is doesn't mean that there is no line.

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago

Pretty telling that they think that that's the only downside of the literal cartoon villain

[-] RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

It's a joke, not a character analysis.

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago
[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

What about the one with the spherical chickens

[-] jystfact@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and so was Fiona

[-] Koike@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Neither you chose to be, so who cares ?

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

True. I chose to be a huge, handsome guy so I chose neither and don't care about these losers
