Here's what I've attempted. Using screenshots from here:
There's an abundance of geometry in this short clip, where the pig does a guntball.
The goal here is to map the pig head onto the patio umbrella at the back, which are typically 9-10 feet. I've seen massive ones that are more than 15 feet tall, but this aint one of those expensive boutiques. The total height of the patio umbrella raised above the ground by the table is illustrated as a red bar.
The umbrella is on the same plane as the entire building, making it easy to determine vanishing point and converging lines.
The pig does his seismic bounce, the vanishing points are determined there and intersects at some point.
Using that, the pig's head is now compared to the rod of 275-305 cm:
So the pig head is 27.4~30.5cm, taking 10 as the stacked heads.
Now all we have to do is copy pig heads to match the gunt's height. Around 5.5.
So that's 150.7~167.75cm, or 4'11 to 5'6. 5'1 doesn't seem too implausible, though it's on the lower side.
An easier way to verify would require the utilisation of the white fence. Maybe someone can find the height of it from online photos at different hours, using the shadows casted, or just go there and measure it (gunt's hotel was doxxxed during Tampa). Gunt is on the approximate plane of the fence, so this guestimate would work.
Likewise, this would work too:
The gunt got doXxed here because of a rather unique painting, which is framed. Using the bottles in the foreground with known dimensions, one can easily determine his height.

You're a madlad to and use three-point perspective to try and figure out Ralph's height.
One way to resolve ambiguity would be to call the hotel, and ask the exact kind of patio umbrellas they use. This seems crucial, since it's the linchpin to your whole study. You can also use @TriggerMeElmo 's photo to measure out Ralph's head.
The only other issue I see is that you're using Ralph as he's cannonballing into the water in silhouette. This is a pretty iffy position to measure height since the way the body contorts has a lot to do with torso to leg proportion and posture. If Ethan didnt balloon so rapidly and erratically, or this was at daytime, you couldve just broken down the still image and reconstricted his body in upright position.
Ethan in video is a smart new direction to go about doing this though! He really doesnt like being in photos, but he's way more on camera.

This one seems like a very decent candidate too, the height of those orange traffic bollards are pretty much known, the walkway will allow one to measure whatever they want in the scene by creating a grid.

bit busy today, but I'll do you a solid, and turn Ralph's position upright and manipulate the photo's camera angle to something more level and even.
Good luck to all Gunt height fact checkers.

From the main Ralph thread. Ralph lying about his height many times over the years, each time saying something different:

Lmao he seriously claims to be 5'10"? Yeah he may choose to lie about being exactly 5'1" and get the benefit of the doubt, at least before massive autism proved otherwise, but this motherfucker is no 5'10".

LOL at 5'11". That must have been the days before anyone really knew what he looked like and he could get away with adding that much height to the truth.

Do you think he realizes the optics of losing his shit any and every time his height is brought up?
Like bro, you could be 6'9", but if you tard rage every time someone says you're 5'1", people are gonna do it. It also doesn't help the only legal document including his height is fucking 5'1".

And we have people whose height is known standing next to him and he's obviously a manlet standing directly next to them. He's just shy of being a literal midget. He's practically fatter than he is tall.

Now that we're on the topic of manlet Andy's height, let's look to the Octagon in Knoxville for a more realistic perspective since we know it's a flat surface unlike that sidewalk picture.
Andy doesn't seem to be much taller than this woman, not sure who she is but she seems petite to me. Sad.
Here it looks like Ralph and Tardski are roughly the same height. Also note Dick's creepy FTM energy, fucking weirdo.
I think it's fair to assume that as the Gunt grows more powerful, Ralph gets shorter. I'd guess he's probably around 5'2" by now and will be 5'0" by the end of 2023.

This is a simple tutorial on how to use Photoshop tools to find the height of a person, matched against an object or person with a known height or the very least, a good range. The estimate is rough depending on the quality of the source image and skill of the person.
Note: All the "clicking" here will be left click, unless otherwise stated!
Requirements:
- Photoshop
- Clear photo with geometry
Overhead:
- It might be necessary to straighten the subject through photo manipulation, this isn't exactly trivial
- Comparisons must be made on the same plane, because of perspective distortion
- Remember to save progress (shift+ctrl+s, as psd), especially if you're using a pirated copy of the software.
Issues:
- Shit smartphone lenses have distortion, typically slight barrel distortion for mid-range ones (not a big deal) and heavy pincushion distortion for wide angle lenses. This must be corrected and can be very difficult if the phone model is unknown. My suggestion is to move on to a different photo, avoid the modern "wide angle" type shots.
- Fisheye photos can't be (easily) used
Source image:
Angle corrected by @PlasticOwls
Image analysis:
Remember, we want clean and good geometry.
- Pathway with gridded tiles
- Traffic bollards with typical height of 18-20 inches
- Car wheels with typical diameter of 18 inches (regulated)
- Background buildings, the yellow umbrellas and green roof
- Clear vanishing point at the pig's head
- Trees planted in approximate lines
- Electricity poles
- Gunt appears taller than Warski because he's closer to the camera, the two wiggers are on an angle
I'll be using the pathway, the road, and the buildings first to find a singular vanishing point.
Firstly, Ctrl+Alt+C to make the canvas larger, I put in 200%.
Create a blank layer on top of the source image:
Optional: Right click, blending options. Choose "Color Overlay", select a colour you want. This will allow the colours to be consistent and avoid the headache of changing brush colours.
Now press "P" for the pen tool. You want the first one:
Click on a spot and drag it along.
Use this to extend the line further out, or correct the position, or both. Ideally, we want it to extend all the way out so the lines are on the same plane as the fighting White niggers in public, showing the world that the word nigger is an adjective and a noun applicable to every group, not a racist slur.
Press "B" for brush, set brush size to 1-2 pixels, hardness to 100%. Click on one end of the line drawn by the pen tool.
Then go to the opposite extremity, hold shift, and click there. This will draw a nice straight line.
Now, press "P" for the pen tool again and press "Esc" several times to get rid of the previous lines, and repeat. Similar to the image above, we can see a vanishing point is converging. I like to use different layers that are colour coded for different objects because I'm autistic.
Everything along this vanishing point will have the same height. Now we need lines for an object we'd like to use. I'm using the bollards as illustrated above, with my retarded spelling error. Let's add 2 lines for each end of those bollards, using a new layer. The pen tool will be used again. Same method as previously mentioned. Now, the bollards are encapsulated. I used the top as a guide previously, so it's just one blue line. Everything along these 2 lines have the same height.
What we need to do now is some mapping, map the bollard onto the gunt in question. Our canvas is too small, so make it larger. Ctrl+Alt+C again. I put in 300% which still doesn't seem large enough, so I shift-clicked to select all layers, and dragged everything to a corner. Clicking "V" swaps to the move tool for repositioning, then ctrl+D to deselect afterwards.
We would like some guiding lines, ctrl+R creates a ruler frame. Click-drag-down on the top will bring a line down. We will encase the pig here. The bollards' guiding lines must intersect with our ruler lines. We will now use the pen too ("P") to extend the couple of existing lines. Ideally with forethought, this step should be avoided by creating a sufficiently large workspace.
Using the pen anchor point tool, the line is extended and adjusted for a best fit. Hold "Alt" and use the "scroll wheel" to zoom in and out.
"Close enough", once again, "B" for brush, click on one end, shift click on the other to draw a line. Repeat for the other end of the bollard.
Reeeesult:
Remember how everything along these lines are of the same height? All we have to do now is draw a line perpendicular to the light blue ruler guide at the intersection, to meet the upmost line. To do this, (surprise!!!) use the pen tool, holding shift allows one to draw a line perpendicularly up.
I've created a new layer and used the brush tool to make another line, by using the same "shift-click" method. I increased the brush size a little here.
Let's draw a second line for the gunt, between the two ruler guides. Again, brush tool "shift clicking". Do this with a new layer. I used one of those vertical rulers as a guide.
Now click on "V", we can move the two lines for comparison, by "hold-clicking" on them and dragging. To make stuff neater, I created a group. Shift-click the two lines and click on that folder icon.
Click on the bollard layer, "Ctrl+J" to create a copy, we need multiples here. After the copy is made, hold "shift" and drag the new layer up, it will maintain its position on the canvas. Place it above the previous. 3 bollard lines are now stacked.
It's basically complete, all we have to do now is determining the gunt's equivalent height in measurement units of traffic bollards. We will find out the percentages with the ruler tool. Primary school level of calculations are involved.
Top of bollard: 18.6%
Top of pig: 20.4%
Bottom of bollard: 23.7%
23.7-18.6=5.1
20.4-18.6=1.8
1.8/5.1≈0.353 → 35.3%
1-35.3%=64.7%
So the gunt's height is 264.7% of a bollard.
Likewise, we can use the measurement tool if you find mathematics threatening. Right click on the bottom, above the colour patches, and choose Ruler Tool.
Hold "shift", drag up. Height of excess bollard is 56.58 pixels. It's shown as a negative here because direction is considered, we want the magnitude (absolute value).
Height of one bollard:
56.58/161.31≈35.08%
So, 3-0.3508=2.6492=264.92%
Similar to 264.7%, the result above.
What's the height of the bollard? Typically, they can be 16-25 inches. We can see it's taller than the wheels, so perhaps using wheels with known regulated diameters of 18 inches is a better choice. Anyway, it'll be easy to redo bits of this for the wheels. The height of the bollard is likely 54-62cm.
I'll redo this for the wheel later. The pig can grunt about his supposed 5'11 all he likes, these bollards are obviously not anywhere near 70cm tall.

Contrary to appearances, Ralph does not ordinarily resemble a character from The Wisdom of the Gnomes, out for forest justice after magpies stole his fishing rod and his pointy red hat, and plucked-out his bushy beard to line their nest, while he slept.
Ralph owes his jolly disposition and his squat, gnome-like appearance (along with a host of other problems) to an alcohol-infused haze that hangs in the air around him and exerts a warping, fairground mirror effect. Those precious few who have witnessed the Gunt in the process of sobering-up, have observed his diminishing girth seemingly channelled upwards as he appears to miraculously grow several inches in height.

I'm going to power level a little here again. Look, I am legit 5'10". I dated a girl around 15 years ago who made really good pizza and lasagna and shit, and I packed on around 40 pounds over my regular walking around weight and ballooned up to 260 for a year or so. I got really fat and my stomach stuck out, but I did not have a gunt. No way a 5'11" man has a gunt that hangs between his knees at 273 pounds. It is literally impossible he is not lying about either his height or his weight.

notice that ralph has at least tried to own a myriad of other memes, hell hes owned being a flaggot better than he has being a manlet and he literally built what could generously be called a career off of that. im beginning to think the lower estimate of 4'11 might actually unironically be the correct one. i think at this point ralph would admit to being a rapist vs being a manlet despite it literally being recorded fact by the virginia pd that hes a midget

I had something similar happen to me when I was a Ralph tier alcoholic. 270 lbs at ~5'10" doesn't sag off your body like that. I believe the weight is probably accurate though. Even Gunt wouldn't try to sell two big lies at once, would he?

Tbh, is it really that hard to see Ralph as anything but on the high end of 4 feet, or the low end of 5?
I appreciate skepticism and peer review, but I'm shocked speculation is still happening.
