Saturday Night Live<\/i> loves to utilize its tall guest hosts and cast members for the \u201ctall love interest\u201d joke. When Jacob Elordi hosted, there was \u201cShort King Bachelor.\u201d The premise was essentially that even when a woman falls in love with a short man, they will always choose a taller, boring man.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That concept was revisited for one of the cut-for-time sketches for Season 51\u2019s third episode. Starring Sabrina Carpenter (who pulled double duty as both host and musical guest), the sketch was called \u201cTall, Plain Boyfriend.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Helmed by newbies Ben Marshall and Jeremy Culhane, the sketch starts with Culhane delivering a cringe-worthy joke before the camera pans to Carpenter. \u201cHa ha! Dating can be tough,\u201d Carpenter explains. \u201cSome guys try too hard to be funny or interesting, especially the little ones.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Cut to Culhane using chopsticks to impersonate a walrus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt feels like they\u2019re doing the most,\u201d Carpenter continues. \u201cBut sometimes you just want less. So that\u2019s why I switch to Tall, Plain Boyfriend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Carpenter then yanks a blanket away from a box revealing Ben Marshall in a Barbie-style box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The sketch was instantly popular across social platforms. \u201cThis sketch exudes big-time\u00a0iCarly<\/i> energy. Hope the writers and cast lean more into this type of stuff,\u201d on person posted on\u00a0<\/span>X<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis feels like an All That sketch, and I mean that as the highest compliment,\u201d another person\u00a0<\/span>added<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, someone in the r\/LiveFromNewYork subreddit wrote, \u201cFunnier than several of the sketches that made it to air!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Just a long body, with hair on head\u2019 is a great bit of language,\u201d a different Redditor chimed in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n Over on Instagram, the sentiment was almost exactly the same on the official\u00a0SNL<\/i> account\u2019s post of the sketch:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cthis is so funny why was it cut????\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u201cThis sketch was way better than some that actually aired\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n
