Height Insult	comment	Height is a serious matter to a lot of people. Most people hate being short and the disadvantages that come with it. But others on the taller side who don't have such concerns may not sympathize with their case and may even take every chance they get to make jabs about their height. Thus characters with short statures have to deal with being called things like midget, pipsqueak, dwarf, or the Japanese "chibi" and its variations. There's also the clichÃ© "How's the weather down there?" and the sarcastic "Oh sorry, didn't see you there." In general, height insults just come in many forms and shapes. These tiny characters tend to be The Napoleon or the Butt-Monkey, in which their short temper and constant misfortune make teasing them so fun for The Gadfly and The Nicknamer. It can become a Running Gag associated with said tiny character as well. Thus, naturally, this is a Berserk Button for them, and "I'm not short; I'm fun-sized!" or "Who are you calling short?" are usually their typical comebacks. Sometimes this is done with malicious intent, but many times this is done as a way of showing affection, or it just comes out innocently. The insult may happen because a character was Expecting Someone Taller. Of course, the inverse where a character gets mocked for being too tall also happens, but it's way less common. In this case, the insults involve comparisons to huge monsters and trees. See Height Angst which this trope might cause. See also Inspirational Insult for when the insulted person succeeds at doing things that usually require a tall stature and awes their mocker. Related to other appearance-based insults such as You Are Fat, however, this one is much more likely to be accepted by the audience than the former.

Height Insult / int_11788bea	comment	Kevin Nash coined the term "vanilla midgets" for short-sized wrestlers. According to him, only big-height wrestlers are allowed to become draws and deserve pushes and championships. This glass ceiling was one of the reasons many wrestlers of the Cruiserweight division such as Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio Jr. jumped ship to the WWE.

Lukybory gets a hammer down from a tree and gives it to Jetybory, saying it's quite tall for a short bory like her. Jety looks quite annoyed at this, and later, he almost trips over her. He apologizes and says he didn't see her there because she's so puny, which causes her to snap and leave in a huff.

Presently, it's unknown if he still has a problem with his size, as the only times it's brought up are when Dazai insults him, which happens every interaction.

It gets to the point where Stitch gets Lilo and Pleakley (due to Jumba being away) to make him bigger with a growth ray under the impression that bigger is better. When Jumba returns, he lets Stitch know that being bigger is not good for Stitch and that he is fine at his normal size which Lilo agrees with. The episode ends with Stitch coming to terms and brushing off the comments.

Height Insult / int_a62ee4d2	comment	Haikyuu!!: Hinata constantly gets called "chibi-suki" or "chibi-chan" (translated as shrimp-chan) by others around him, especially Oikawa and Kuroo, for being too short to play volleyball which he overcomes by jumping higher and improving himself. However, when Oikawa grows closer to Hinata by the end of the series, he drops it completely and starts addressing him by his given name. Similarly, the old coach Hinata visits for advice refers to him as "Shrimpy" at first but upgrades it to "Shrimpo" (chibitaro) after Hinata starts improving and the coach warms up to him. In season 4, when the Karasuno players get their heights measured, Tsukishima acts oddly smug towards Hinata about hitting the 190 cm mark, because Hinata, though he's proud about how much he has grown, is still short compared to him. He makes quite a few snide remarks about both Hinata's and Nishinoya's height over the course of the series. Lev from Nekoma is an interesting example because he means no real harm when he makes tactless comments about other people's height, usually his senpai Yaku. His first meeting with Hinata also ends with him accidentally offending the latter.

Height Insult / int_b9e3bd3	comment	The Jeffersons has George Jefferson recount his rough days growing up, being picked on for being shorter than average. This bullying taught George to be contentious and combative. His son, Lionel, remarks that George must've been "a feisty little runt" in those days. As it turns out, "runt" is George Jefferson's Berserk Button, and George gets agitated at the mere mention of the word.

Height Insult / int_de723bfd	comment	French Baguette Intelligence: In Do Irish-Americans exist? and Another Typical French vs English Debate, Bowl insults Fuck Cares for being 5' 7". In the latter video, he argues that this makes him a carrot, because he is 'close to the earth' and no one cares about carrots, except rabbits.

Height Insult / int_e7e37776	comment	Jayne seemed to have been invoking this one on Firefly when Wash teased him, asking, â€œYou wanna go, little man?â€� as in wanting to pick a fight. Adam Baldwinâ€™s Jayne towers over all of the crew at 6â€²4â€³, so he can get away with a height jab at someone whoâ€™s still on the tall side. Alan Tudyk is really only a couple of inches shorter, but tended to slouch a bit as Wash.

Oddly, he doesn't make height jokes when talking to Tyrion, who he seems to have genuine respect for.
