That was awkward and not in a funny way. I understand you were going for a joke. And that he was obviously in on it. But it missed the mark. indeed. Very awkward. But not for the reasons you think Im afraid.

My friend is a dwarf/midget/mini person so I don't find this video funny at all.

However, I do know the proper term is "little person/people," and the terms you refer to are considered incorrect and offensive. But, in his words, there are so many jokes referring to race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, and so on. Yet people are OK with them. For some reason, jokes about someone's short stature are off limits. He doesn't find our joke offensive. It was all done in good spirit! But I'd love to hear more about your opinions as well... |

So I showed my dwarf mate your attempt at comedy.
He didn't find it funny, in fact he got rather grumpy.

I think people are too serious about stuff like this. I thought it was cute...
BTW...from what I understand, the new PC term for "little people" is "fun sized!" Lighten up everyone...

'Fun sized', that's hilarious. I'm going to call my midget friend tomorrow and try it out on him.

I didn't find the joke offensive at all. It takes a lot to offend me. I just think the joke came up 'short'. It was a 'little' off the mark. Seriously, it was just a lame attempt at humor.

Honestly, I've never seen something with little people that was not funny, until now.
