How to Talk to Short People

How to talk to short people: ✗ Wrong ✓ Correct

A two-panel joke shows an awkward tall humanoid standing beside a shorter person in the “wrong” example, while a giant purple-and-green humanoid robot bends down dramatically to speak to a tiny person in the “correct” example. The punchline exaggerates the polite act of lowering yourself to talk to someone shorter, using a scene resembling Evangelion imagery. It is sent as an absurd reaction to height differences or over-the-top demonstrations of consideration.
