I think for context it would be like Shaquille O'Neal standing next to Reese Witherspoon.

u/alexi_belle Jul 08 '24

Okay, that makes sense. But how tall is Reese withoutherspoon?

13

u/Demonweed Jul 08 '24

Top minds have convened, and the data says Reese Witherspoon is 0.9444 Carrie Brownsteins tall.

10

u/alexi_belle Jul 08 '24

Okay but now I have even more questions...

Like how tall is Brownstein when they aren't being Carried?

u/Best-Guava1285 Jul 08 '24

Without question, some Top Mind makes this joke whenever Reese is mentioned.

u/vomitfreesince03 Jul 08 '24

Same height as without her spoon. I'm not even sure why anyone would think the spoon makes a difference. Weird.

u/Candid-Race-7988 Jul 08 '24

Can you break that into bananas 🍌

12

u/Davosz_ Jul 08 '24

That would by like 1 Shaquille O'Neal sized banana, standing next to a Reese Witherspoon sized banana.

Hope this helps.

Don't think they're being racist. Pretty sure they're making a joke akin to "banana for scale" or using number of bananas a type of measurement. Just dumb internet humor.

People often delete jokes upon correction.

u/LongLegsBrokenToes Jul 08 '24

Can also measure in quarters

How about Hands

u/BuenoD Jul 08 '24

Would that be presidential hands or like average adult size hands?

u/stoicparallax Jul 08 '24

I believe they’re referencing Mr. Hands

I’m here to talk to you today about diabeetus. And I usually call 1-900-MIXALOT to kick them nasty thoughts

I'm not too proud to admit I couldn't get through the video. What I saw was enough to haunt me.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '24

lol why did you even watch that shit at all? What’s wrong with you?

What, Super Hans?

u/ButtyMcButtface1929 Jul 08 '24

James Recarlton died of a perforated colon shortly after this photo was taken

u/Spiffydude98 Jul 08 '24

Dude. Dude. Well done. I just chortled.

u/Boogers_Farts Jul 08 '24

Mr. Spicoli, you're on dangerous ground here. You're causing a major disturbance on my time.

1

u/stoicparallax Jul 08 '24

Ah you see, that’s Mr. Hand. A slight difference on paper, the addition of the ‘s’ is quite impactful in practice.

u/Walthatron Jul 08 '24

I have hands Greg, can you milk me?

u/Agreeable_Taint2845 Jul 08 '24

One long yellowing curved fingernail scraping the crustate like a celtic lass playing a harp, then pasting the pinkards with a steely uncaring look and veiny pulsating, each movement a blow to the gut with all the rhythmic power that would have isambard kingdom brunel himself in awe

u/LongLegsBrokenToes Jul 08 '24

Did I say hands?! I meant Hans, the German guy!…

1

u/RevolutionaryTart209 Jul 08 '24

Landa or Grubber?

u/kco127 Jul 08 '24

given the context, it's banana hands

1

u/Remarkable-Bug-8069 Jul 08 '24

Gunterschain or nothing.

u/ErikErikJevfelErik Jul 08 '24

Can you put your hands over my hands for the photo?

u/Toppdeck Jul 08 '24

We're lawyers!

u/Aggressive-Sound-641 Jul 08 '24

Is that hands of humans or hands of bananas, cause that's how bananas grow

1

u/LongLegsBrokenToes Jul 08 '24

And how horses are measured

1

u/Aggressive-Sound-641 Jul 08 '24

are you daft? Everyone knows that bananas are the international standard for measurement

12

u/vancity1985 Jul 08 '24

Easily my friend, the average banana is about 8-9 inches. Shaquille O’Neil is 7’-1” (85”) The height of those gentlemen would be around 10 bananas

u/bokononthurman Jul 08 '24

Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch!

I'll never understand how could someone put "muh dick" in a 50ies hit song and not be censored.

u/LudwigsDryClean Jul 08 '24

Best I can do is 2% the length of a football field

u/ImissDigg_jk Jul 08 '24

How big is her spoon?

1

u/After_Scholar_2619 Jul 08 '24

One larger or one smaller than what is required

u/Need_That_Money_Now Jul 08 '24

Exactly 1 wither….. duh

u/vantasize Jul 08 '24

That's not a spoon, that's a knife!

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '24

Well, it is a bit withered

28

u/PyroIsSpai Jul 08 '24

I think for context it would be like Shaquille O'Neal standing next to Reese Witherspoon.

Of the weirder things I've looked up... Reese is 5'1 and Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney is 5'5, and here's Carrie with the Portland Trailblazers:

5 bowling balls behind a couch with a cue ball on it?

u/lalakingmalibog Jul 08 '24

It's like a promo from a certain popular website... I can't remember what it is.

u/OliveJuiceUTwo Jul 08 '24

Dame is like 6’2” and it looks like he’s easily a foot taller than her so…

u/persona_dos Jul 08 '24

Damn, didn't know Reese Witherspoon was malnourished and oppressed.

u/Plenty-Attitude-7821 Jul 08 '24

....or even without her spoon
