You're viewing a single thread.
That looks like a voltmeter probe to me, too thin to be a soldering iron I think.
Okay, but then explain the solder sponge, the roll of solder, the solder sucker, and last but most importantly, the solder being held to the joint withe other hand
I think they're intentionally poking fun at the trope.
poe's law
Soldering tools get pretty small!
The one in the original picture still looks like a voltmeter probe, it has a rubber shaft all the way down until the last several mm, whereas the one in your picture has a much longer metal shaft before the tip as expected.
