I was thinking the same thing recently...

anyway:

Adam Rainer (1899–1950) is the only person in recorded history ever to have been both a dwarf and a giant.

Rainer was born in Graz, Austria.   In 1920 at age 21, his height was 3 feet 10.5 inches.  Then, likely as a result of a pituitary tumor, he had a dramatic growth spurt so that by 1931 he had reached a height of 2.18 m (7 ft 1 in). As a result of his extreme growth, he became bedridden for the rest of his life.

When he died in 1950 he had reached a height of 2.34 m (7 ft 8 in).  His feet measured 13.1 inches, and his hands 9.4 inches.  He weighed only 241 pounds.  As of today, he is the only person in the world who was classified as a dwarf and a giant.

Episode I: The Ridiculous Menace (FULL MOVIE IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM, SEE FIRST POST)

I'm not surprised - it was on FOX after all.  They didn't give it much of a chance. 

But it was a Michael Hurwitz show (Arrested Development) starring Will Arnett and David Cross, so yeah, it was pretty damn funny.  Strange, but funny.  Only 13 episodes were finished, so it wouldn't be hard to get through.  I definitely suggest checking it out sometime!

Mostly innuendo. "Look at the size of that thing!"

"Get on top of it!" "I'm trying!"

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!"

"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."

Etc.

I don't know what's funnier - this post, or the fact that people thought it was serious.

Oh man that song at the end was hilarious. 

"I've made a huge mistake" is classic too.  I dunno if you watched Running Wilde for the short amount of time that it was on, but Will Arnett had some pretty ridiculous lines in there, maybe you could use them too (maybe not for this one, just thinking ahead to AotR or RotR)
