All that stuff about not judging people by how they look.

Shrek's actually a nice guy who everyone hates because he looks like an ogre
The fiery dragon everyone is terrified of is actually a beautiful emotionally fragile girl who if you can't handle at her worst you don't deserve at her best
The beautiful princess is actually a big fat ogre

Appearances are skin deep.

And yet the entire movie is full of jokes just constantly mocking Lord Farquaad for being short

it reminds me of that bit in Superman where there's a whole scene of him "being the bigger man" by showing restraint and not fighting a douche in a bar, then he goes outside and crucifies his truck

It's going against the story the movie is trying to tell

That the feared green ogre Shrek had feelings and sensibilities while the white, wealthy, and powerful king of the lands was actually an insecure piece of shit scumbag?

She picked an ogre over a short guy. Seems fine to me.

Shrek was only really an asshole in Shrek 3 where it was part of the plot

In the other movies he was just reacting to others

Shrek was an ass...but he wanted to be alone.

Farquad inflicts his assholery on those around him gleefully. That's the difference.

What I hated about that , is how is the d-bag going to know that this happened because of his actions in the bar. It would have been better if he handled this situation like an adult. Not even a Super powered adult. He just walked after the job after a girl was harassed. Good heavens, I did not think about that last part until now. That movie was horrible.

The true moral of Shrek is that you may be a hideously, horrifying ogre... But at least you ain't short!

They don't necessarily make fun of Farquaad being short, they use him being short to show his extremely fragile ego and narcissism. Otherwise he wouldn't be going out of his way to make people think he was taller.

It's fine because Lord Fuckwad is ugly on the inside and out. Shrek is just ugly on the outside.

It's like his character concept was literally based around the phrase "little fuckwad". And he acted like one too.

Moral consideration is typically not reserved for little shits like that.

lol yes they do

They even do it when he's not around Farquaad

Hell when Finoa asks them what Farquaad is like, they literally just make jokes about how small he is

i think the difference is that farquaad uses his little man complex as a reason to take his problems out on everyone, whereas shrek and fiona got self hatred out of them. its been a long time since ive actually seen the movie though so i could be wrong

Farquaad was also a stand in for a certain Disney executive. The whole film was a fuck you to Disney.
