Tiny Horse: Love It, Hate It, or Something In-Between?

A bizarre Saturday Night Live skit entitled “Tiny Horse” features a young man (Timothée Chalamet) who has big dreams for his teeny-tiny pet horse. When his father says they have to sell the farm and all the animals, he lets his horse go with a promise that he will “do great things.” These include being university valedictorian, becoming Secretary of Horse Affairs, marrying AOC (US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Corte), getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The video has certainly been trending this past weekend, with both positive comments (“I wish I was his Tiny Horse!” and “Tiny Horse is exactly what the world needs right now. I believe it could unite us all.”) and negative (…”the shitshow of Tiny Horse” and “That Tiny Horse skit had to be the result of the writers finding a Belushi stash in the studio this week.”)
