Kermit the Frog discusses differences of size in a two-part sketch: one about tall and short, and the other on little and big.
In the first segment, Kermit introduces two Snerfs. One is named Sam who is so short that Kermit has to scrunch down to talk to him. The other is named Harry who is so tall that Kermit has to stretch way up high to look him in the face.
As he reiterates their differences, the Snerfs simultaneously stretch and scrunch themselves up and down so that their heights are swapped. When Kermit begins to correct himself, they change heights again with a squishing sound. This repeats until it turns to a chaotic frenzy of who is tall and short, so Kermit calls for a short pause while he figures everything out.
On return, Kermit sits alone on the wall and explains he's going to try and demonstrate size differences again, with a shift in concepts this time. He introduces Frank (a small version of Beautiful Day Monster), whom he describes as a tiny little fella. He also invites Harold (the regularly sized Beautiful Day Monster), who is bigger than Kermit and strikes him with a supportive blow that Kermit finds unnecessary.
Just as Kermit has successfully demonstrated the difference between little and big, a looming figure rises from behind with a prolonged growl on his approach: it's Splurge, who towers over all three of them. Shaking with fear, Kermit exclaims, "Some other time, I'll tell you about another word, uh, HUGE!" and exits with a shriek.
