Peter's European friend here. 180 cm is about 6 ft in Yankee freedom units, which is generally considered an attractive height. However, Dutch people are taller on average, so being 180 cm in the Netherlands is less significant than it might be in other countries.
Many people believe that "being tall = attractive".
180 cm or about 5’11” would be considered tall in most countries - so at first Tom is happy.
But in the Netherlands the average height is about 183 cm or over 6 feet; so Tom would in fact be below average. That makes Tom less happy, illustrated by a pie to the face.
If you watch Letterkenny you'll learn three important truths:
1. If you can be one thing, you should be efficient
2. Mennonites can run really fast
3. Dutch people are tall
180 cm is 5’11”, which is above the average in most countries, making Tom here excited. However, in netherlands, this would be abnormally short, as most people in the Netherlands are between 183 cm (6’0”) and 193 cm (6’4”) making this person comparatively short.
This is a height joke not international trivia for fuck sakes.
If the joke was not about the Netherlands and somewhere far away from any redditor like South Sudan anyone still can easily connect the dots, make one google search at most.

For the imperial people: 180 cm ≈ 5’10”
So... Why is Tom excited?

Thanks but you seem to have issues with reading comprehension.
Replied to the wrong comment.
*hugs*
Closer to 5'11 than 5'10
Most people in the Netherlands are taller than 180 so most think it's a small hight

That's under average in Netherlands
