Her cast member, Ben Marshall, who is 6'5", played her box partner, introduced in a large box, as a product that she is advertising, the pitch says:
So get yourself a Tall, Plain Boyfriend. He may not make you laugh, or think, but he will make you feel tiny!

But sometimes you just want less. So that’s why I switch to Tall, Plain Boyfriend.
She removes a blanket from a big Barbie-style box containing Ben Marshall, whose height of over 6 feet resembles a stark height difference with Manchild's singer as she says
No drama, no personality, just a long body with hair on head. All the girlies will be jealous.

Because if you need a deep conversation, bitch, listen to a podcast. But don't just take it from me. Listen to some other satisfied girlfriends. My tall, plain boyfriend knows everything about me. Like, babe, what do I do for work?
Sabrina went on to explain the benefits of a tall, plain boyfriend on Saturday Night Live, noting that they do not include a bed frame, a second towel, or political views. She also adds that he is an amazing listener who comes with empathetic catchphrases, as she shows some examples.

Tall, plain boyfriend. He may not make you laugh or think, but he will make you feel tiny.
