Its true what all the old men say: PC culture has ruined comedy.
It used to be that late night was dominated by fat jokes, wife jokes, and fat-wife jokes.
And we were grateful!
But today, jokes about peoples appearance are relatively off-limits.
But when an evil guy dresses weird, even the most progressive comedians are off to the races.
WhenRoger Stone was indicted, you could hear writers rooms across America begin to drool.
Theyd done every variation of Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle and Trump is orange.
It was time for a fresh new sound.
And like jazz, Roger Stone burns are all about variations on a theme, improvising within the chord.
Here are all the appearance-based slams created by the artists of late night this week.
Seth Meyers
Rival candymaker hellbent on stealing the recipe for the Gobstopper Roger Stone.
They went after everything: his computers, his phones, the umbrella he uses to defeat Batman.
[Cut to Stone at his most Penguin-y.]
Stephen Colbert
Here he is on the way to the courthouse.
[Footage of Burgess Merediths Penguin.]
Unusual for a defendant to drive himself, but Roger Stone is an unusual fellow.
Actually, thats about it, but lets talk about him anyway.
Samantha Bee
Not pictured: where he has one [a tattoo] of Trump.
Lets put it this way: taint on his back!
Stephen Colbert
[Its] possible that the tattoo just burned onto his skin while he was sleeping.
Samantha Bee
The cover-up is the crime.
He would have known that if he had asked his tattoo.
Samantha Bee
Hes easy to spot because he dresses like a Dick Tracy villain.
He also has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back and I believe a Henry Kissinger tramp stamp.
You dont wanna know where his G. Gordon Liddy tattoo is.
Seth Meyers
If he werent a political consultant, hed be the worlds oldest chimney sweep.
Seth Meyers
I didnt knowDownton Abbeyhad a pimp.

I mean, he imitates Richard Nixon, he quotes fromThe Godfather,and he dresses like Hannibal Lecter.
Seth Meyers
Thats silly.
You dont need a passport to travel via magic umbrella.
Seth Meyers
Its easy to make fun of Roger Stone.
He literally looks like an Easter Island statue.
Samantha Bee
Of course Roger Stone likesThe Godfather!
He thinks hes James Caan, but hes actually the horse.
Samantha Bee
Hes going to go to jail and no one will miss him.
Except, of course, for Mrs. Peanut.
Samantha Bee
If H.R.
Pufnstuf had got to Slytherin.
