I know this is a joke, but i think the idea is that you would only look stretched to outside observers, but you yourself actually wouldnt perceive any stretching going on.
I think you literally stretch; the part of you that touches the horizon line first experiences infinite gravity, while the parts of you outside the horizon line don’t, so you’re getting stretched out as the parts inside the horizon line fall in much faster

Looks like i misremembered that one.

It is literally stretch because the difference in gravity at your feet would be much stronger than the gravity at your head, pulling you apart
Thanks for the correction. Added a timestamped youtube kurzgesagt link to my comment for anyone interested.
