Well the short guy was also a total fuckwad

[–] Macallan@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

I guess so...

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

sounds of planesp flying

I hope it's a deliberate team effort that you have exactly 12 upvotes right now

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Short man syndrome is very real unfortunately

I never connected those dots before 🤣

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Lord Farquaad- king of local Nice Guys™ chapter

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Historically speaking, a very popular royal choice.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] MinusPi@yiffit.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] WhipTheLlama@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!!

[–] regalia@literature.cafe 4 points 1 year ago

Fascist got that capitalist money tho

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MJRul3s@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

There is also this thing called personality and Shrek was all aroud a better person.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 5 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.

[–] 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!

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes but have you seen ogre dong?

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

Yes yes we’ve all seen “the gif”

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 7 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.

[–] jystfact@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and so was Fiona

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RegularGoose@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a joke, not a character analysis.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

What about the one with the spherical chickens

[–] Koike@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neither you chose to be, so who cares ?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

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