Quick example of a stereotype. About 20+ years ago, I was on a car journey with a male relative, where he encountered 3 drivers who made driving mistakes. The first two men, he called them wankers then carried on. The third, a woman, when she made a mistake, he started to go on about bloody women drivers and how women drivers were useless. If it doesn’t fit the stereotype it’s forgotten about, if it does fit the stereotype it stands out more.

Today I heard a story from a guy who worked as a plasterer in Paris for a while (we're from Serbia). He said that for whatever reason busses in Paris are mostly driven by women. One day he and his buddy (also Serbian) were off from work waiting for a commute. They smoked a cigarette, bus came but his friend insisted they wait for other and chat for a while. Turns out, he was too afraid to step into a bus driven by a woman 😆

I am 5ft 3, and people are probably more unkind to short people than any other deviation from the norm, in the fifties I wore a hat to work, and the best joke was someone calling out, don't kick that hat, there is someone under it! yes I'm that old, I'm 90 next month: People constantly made "original" jokes about my lack of stature, but I had heard them all.

David Lloyd George, a Welshman, was prime minister just over a century ago. He was a short man, and when a comment was made about his lack of stature, replied, " In Wales, we measure men from the neck up ".

The little sneezes were adorable 😂 👏

Your audio quality has gone down for some reason. The old mics were far far better, these new mics may need something else to sound professional.

Are you intending a retro 1950s sound because it is spot on you could go Black & White too .

People are simply getting taller, and I'm no expert, so I can't explain that. For example, if you visited Japan a hundred years ago, you could walk around all day without seeing a six foot man. Now you do see them, and it's not that unusual. So in the early 19th century I'm pretty sure nobody thought Napoleon was short, except his enemies!

I awoke with my phone ringing and after watching this am fully awake and smiling. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Nelson was actually an ideal height for his profession as anyone who's been on a tour of Hms Victory finds out . The average height of people was much lower as you go back in time and many old buildings also have low ceilings .

Cool OG TransFormers T-shirt Jodi! Edit ohhhhh now you explain it! Well Jodi wears it well. A-Choo Choo Train! :) You both sneeze silent! If I stream and sneeze then I have to lunge for the mic mute button and hope to gosh my hand makes it back in time to cover up some of the blast radius!!!! lol Back to the T-shirt though, reminds me of when I got a free Akira t-shirt with the Amiga disk game, stored it away for almost 3 decades, then went to put it on and the cotton was crumbling! I have never seen cotton just crumble away, it wasn't moldy or anything, it had just aged and I dunno, the air got to it, that's lame but I cannot describe it. That's what I got for trying to keep it prestine and not wearing it, so... moral of the story, wear the heck out of your cool t-shirts, enjoy them!

I'm loving the qi reactions

Lord Nelson, the same height as Danny DeVito! I’m taking hits here.

I tell people that at 5'7" I'm right between the American male average of 5'9" and the global average of 5'6". Most of Europe has higher averages reported than the US, but Asia and South America balance things out quite a bit.

I suspect shorter people have a less problematic time in old age that taller people do.

Although to be fair, there was a chap some years ago in the UK race quality commission as part of the UK government. When he left, he did a documentary to look at whether stereotypes were actually informed by something. He found that in fact, there was a propensity for certain groups to have a higher level of a particular characteristic Leading to the stereotype. For example, he found that Jewish people had something like a 20% higher average in the number of wealthy people in their population. With other groups, he found similar propensities for the stereotype allocated to them. Interesting eh? For small people, Maybe the aggressive stereotype is more when they are younger. I certainly remember that the smaller lads were much more ready to fight and because they were smaller, they had a stockier muscle built so were stronger than they looked LOL. No, it wasn't my way to have fights with smaller people (smile). As a tactic though, if you're smaller, it serves you best to get in first!

A lot of stereotypes have a grain of truth to them, and most likely, there is a good reason for that truth too, even if it's not apparent at first. The jews being rich for example, not strange at all. Back in the days, jews were shunned in the western society, they were not allowed to work in a lot of professions. So they had to make do with what they were allowed. And the "filthiest" jobs was dealing with money, so they were basically forced into the banking business. And how the tides have turned.. :)

I've met many shorter people and not one of them has been angry, infact they've all been rather happy people. As an Aussie I don't like the stereotype that we're all drinkers, I've had alcohol before and I've been what some would say over the limit, but it was a one off, it may have been a disproportionate amount who over drank, but now I'd say most Aussies are in the tamer side of things.

Absolute crap, all the Aussies I know drink 20 pints of beer a day in the morning, go to work, drink during the day and end the day with another 20 pints. Australians are always drunk

As you are complaining about stereotypes it reminded me of a documentary on Channel 4. It was called "Things We Won't Say About Race (That Are True)". It was presented by Trevor Phillips who was chairman for "Commission for Racial Equality" under Tony Blair. I doubt you will react to it, but stereotypes are often built on at least some level of truth.

I also focus on the negative. For example. The title of this video. Great men. Followed by a discussion of Stalin, Idi Amin, Napoleon, Hitler and other various dictators. I'd argue these were not great men.

Curious as to why the quality of your videos differ so much, I'm assuming different cameras =]

Interesting point here. I’m surprised others haven’t noticed either. It’s really frustrating for me. Because we record and then I realize I forgot to clean the lens of the camera. And to unload used data. Those two things kill the quality. I have made this mistake twice in the last month. Sorry about it.

As someone who have shrunk lately, I "forget" every measurement after the highest result and are still at peak height. :D

I’m with Nick. There’s no way those are real sneezes. She looked like a 5 year old in a school play when the script says “and now sneeze”.

Nick, I am older than you are, and it is ture, you do lose height as you get older. I am down to 6' 4 and 15/16" now.

You should lok at "the best of Jo Brand" the female on the show.She was a psychiatric nurse and some of her put downs on men are hilarious

Short man syndrome is a sign of insecurity. If a physical variance, especially one beyond your control makes you feel inferior the issue is yours not your size. Does that extra inch or few even make any difference in a society that doesn't really value physique beyond mating criteria? And in current social norms does that matter that much? That's a lot of pressure you put on yourself for something you can't control and no one really cares about anyway, other than unstable, inconsistent female expectations?

What if you got called short arse your whole life as a guy of Sri Lankan background growing up in 99% Anglo England ... haha that was me

About the tall people being more succesfull, I wonder if there is a good reason for that... A big reason for people growing tall is that they eat good food while growing, and I would suspect that someone who eats well during childhood is also more likely to do well in school and stay out of trouble. Basically, parents who feed their children well is also more likely to take care of them in other ways. And also, I noticed when attending school, the higher up in my education i got, the taller people seemed to become. I'm 1.90, so pretty tall, back in "standard school", whatever that is called in different countries, there were few other people in my height, but then, at the next level, out of 30 people in my class, we were 7-8 people that were about my height or taller. After that, in university, studying to become an engineer, I was basically of average height when it came to the males. And then later, when I joined a high tech company with a lot of engineer types of people, again I was pretty much of average height, despite being quite a lot taller than the average man in my country, Sweden. This is of course a very small sample and extremely unscientific, but I think it's still enough to at least make it worthy of mentioning.

In my experience I have often wondered why certain people were unduly aggressive and only afterwards realised they probably had the little man complex

These mics 🤦🏽‍♂️

As far as I am concerned, most people are short. In my mind, I am "normal height," and everyone else is just short. By the way, I'm 6ft 6

I'm 5 foot 9 inches tall and if it's supposed to be average height for guys then why do I feel like a short arse most days. Here in the UK the average height has got to be about 5 foot 10 inches at the very least. Same in the US as well I would suspect.
