Watch tall king Jacob Elordi sweep Chloe Fineman off her feet in SNL’s latest Bachelor spoof 

Watch out, short kings — his bathwater has its own candle scent.

How many short kings does it take to defeat a 6-foot-5 movie star? More than Saturday Night Live can provide.

Established tall king Jacob Elordi — best known for towering over Joey King, Barry Keoghan, Cailee Spaeny, and the entire cast of Euphoriacelebrated his SNL debut this weekend and kicked off the show by making all of Studio 8H look tiny.

The first skit of the night put the spotlight on a bunch of shorties courting Chloe Fineman in a spoof of The Bachelor appropriately titled Crown Your Short King.

"When I came to Short King Mansion, the first thing I thought was, 'Damn, I should have packed more flats,'" says Fineman, playing eligible bachelorette Tiffany, in the sketch. "On dating apps, I was that girl who would write, 'If you’re under 6 feet, swipe left.' But getting to know all of you has made me realize that I was letting go of some incredible guys."

But just before Tiffany can choose the perfect match from her lineup of Bowen Yang, Molly Kearney, and Marcello Hernandez, the host, played by Mikey Day, presents a twist: A fourth bachelor is also available in the form of Jackson (Elordi), a classic crotch-scratching bro who immediately turns her head.

Elordi’s bachelor describes himself in the most grating way possible: “I’m from Pittsburgh, I technically still have a girlfriend, and I need to borrow $200,000.”

But Tiffany is undeterred, asking the host, “So do I give him the crown now or…?”

By this point, Elordi’s fellow suitors are feeling pretty dejected: Not only is Tiffany quick to abandon them, but the host is constantly referring to them with condescending nicknames like “squirt,” “chipmunk,” and “tiny Teddy.”

In their last-ditch effort to win Tiffany’s affection, they read some romantic words revealing what they love most about her. 

While the short kings cite Tiffany’s laugh, eyes, and heart, Jackson’s words should raise a red flag: “Tiffany, from the bottom of my heart, your body is just okay.”

Yet Tiffany cheerfully replies, “Yeah, that’s fine. You win!” And before anyone can intervene, Elordi's Jackson proceeds to literally sweep her off her feet for a wildly comedic make-out sesh.

Sadly, those short kings never stood a chance — not with this giant stud on the loose.

Elordi, who rose to fame as a bad boy in the 2018 teen rom-com The Kissing Booth before playing a much more frightening delinquent on HBO's Euphoria, is currently making the rounds to promote Saltburn, a psychological thriller in which his wealth, charm, and eyebrow piercing literally drive Keoghan's Oliver crazy. As Felix, Elordi is so desirable that he has inspired a line of candles that promise to smell like his character's used bathwater.

Elordi gave one of the candles a good sniff — and a slurp — during his recent appearance on The Tonight Show.

“Does it smell anything like you?” Jimmy Fallon asked him as he took a whiff. 

“It smells like a washing room,” Elordi replied. “Like detergent. That’s not bad.”
