It's a Star Wars reference. When Luke (disguised as a stormtrooper) first meets Leia she says "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" I believe Spaceballs was referencing that scene when there was one short stormtrooper-type. I think that was the gag? Been a while since I've seen Spaceballs.

Edit: And you have to know about Rmoney's quote in Michigan about the trees being the right height to get the full joke.
