I was at work today, at the bookstore. My friend Andie told me that I had to read this book called "Thirteen Reasons Why". The premise of the book is pretty sad, so I won't go into it, because I'm writing about humor, not sadness, I mean come on.
Anyway, there's a character named Hannah, and she's talking about a dream she had where she has oversize feet and someone else has really tiny, almost nonexistent feet. Obviously I was picturing this in my mind, and was, in turn, amused, and then horrified.
Big feet? Hilarious! Why are those feet so big? Ha! They are so unwieldy!
But small feet...oh...why are they so...oh, oh dear god, where are your feet? OH DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN WHERE ARE YOUR FEET?
See? Two totally different reactions.
So this made me start thinking about humor in relation to sizes of body parts. I am not trying to be dirty, let me just stress that right now.
Oversize body parts are funny!
Oversize heads! Look at them! They look like butts from behind!
Oversized noses! Always getting into trouble!
Oversize eyes? We got those too! They are the cutest!
Oversize hands? Oh, it's just too good when someone's hands are too big:
Classic big hands here.
Oversize everything:
But...
When body parts are too small, they are creepy, like Denise's hands here:
And as for Voldemort, I have just one question: where, oh where, is your nose?

And now, for some significant exceptions!
Lady Gaga's eyes are huge in parts of this music video, but the result inspires nightmares rather than hilarity:
And this poor T-Rex has a big head, and little arms- the curse of all T-Rexes. But it's hilarious, not creepy!
You're welcome, world.
