The setup

A towering wrestling legend finds that choosing an ice cream flavor can be a surprisingly small-scale ordeal.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

André the Giant looms over the other customers at an ice cream counter while weighing the available flavors. He rejects the mint option, puzzles over the name of another variety and struggles to settle on a choice. His eventual order of plain vanilla leaves him holding a cone that looks comically tiny in his hand.
