Cut Sabrina Carpenter SNL Sketch Featuring Tall, Plain Boyfriend Goes Viral

Sabrina Carpenter's cut-for-time "Tall, Plain Boyfriend" sketch from Saturday Night Live humorously satirizes dating trends and height obsession, featuring Carpenter as a woman who prefers a tall, simple, and drama-free partner over a shorter, overly entertaining one. The sketch, which was popular online despite not airing live, presents Carpenter pitching a parody infomercial for a "Tall, Plain Boyfriend," played by Ben Marshall, who offers lukewarm takes and minimal personality but is highly valued for his height. Carpenter delivers witty lines emphasizing the boyfriend's lack of drama and deep conversation, joking that if one wants substance, they should listen to a podcast. The sketch's humor hinges on the contrast between the boring but tall boyfriend and the more animated but less desirable short date, with Marshall's character responding to situations with bland but empathetic phrases. Fans praised Carpenter's comedic timing and the sketch's clever take on dating stereotypes, calling it one of the funniest of the season. The sketch gained viral attention after being shared on SNL's social media and highlighted Carpenter's dual role as host and musical guest during the episode.
