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.

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.

I have a friend who is a chef. I’ve seen him reach into a fryer with bare hands and pull things out. The dude has somehow become immune to heat. This must be the case. You solder so much that you can become the Iron yourself.

Note: Friend had two prosthetic hands.
