Matt Gaetz has that anomalously high forehead. I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures of him ever since Trump said he wanted him as AG, and I can’t help thinking he looks like one of the Metalunans from the 1950s film **This Island Earth** It’s not the Alien Lizard People we have to look out for. It’s the high-domed forehead ones. > **[Trump to nominate Rep.

Matt Gaetz shows up about 4 minutes in played by body horror queen Sarah Sherman. She’s deep in the uncanny valley. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/V-bBL0303Kw/maxresdefault.jpg "Trump and Biden Meeting Cold Open - SNL") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-bBL0303Kw) ---

I try to refrain from making jokes about peoples’ appearance but Matt Gaetz provides so much material. On SNL’s Weekend Update, Colin Jost said “…Gaetz, who was created when Frankenstein raped Dracula…”. It’s so juvenile but so on the nose. Biggest laugh I’ve had in a long time. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUBv.2](#): > > Biggest laugh I’ve had in a long time. I thought it was pretty damn funny too. 😆 Here is Weekend Update, but I set the timestamp to start right when Jost starts talking about the cabinet nominations. I thought it was worth seeing the whole bit and not just the Frankenstein/Dracula joke. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/y1WKEw__RDU/maxresdefault.jpg "Weekend Update ft.

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > I think he looks more like Beavis. No, according to accepted wisdom, the model for Beavis was Jim Jordan. It’s the pointy little shark-like teeth that do it. Actually, Gaetz and Jordan share some of the characteristics of both Beavis and Butthead – it’s hilarious to see them together – but traditional lore goes with the one that dominates.

> [@wolfpup](#): > > No, according to accepted wisdom, the model for Beavis was Jim Jordan Now, I’m not looking for a fight, but that picture of Gym Jordan looks uncannily like the earlier posted picture of Butthead. Same pose, same stupid grin. If I were home, I’d use photoshop to give him an AC/DC shirt and braces. Then you’d all agree! 🙂 ---
