Larry Wilmore sees the Supreme Court as one big happy family, a “judicial Brady Bunch.”

“I thought it would be fun to check in with one of my top three favorite branches of government—judicial,” he said on Tuesday night’s edition of “The Nightly Show.”

Before looking at a new case before the court involving Facebook threats, the former sitcom writer Wilmore was struck with inspiration.

“I come from the world of sitcoms, and the Supreme Court just feels like its full of whacky sitcom characters!” Wilmore said.

“You’re got the perverted mute,” he said, showing a photo of Justice Clarence Thomas.

“You’ve got the crazy asshole who believes corporations are people,” he continued, flashing an image of Justice Antonin Scalia. “He’s hilarious, he’s probably my favoite.”

“Oh, and the sexpot neighbor who may be the smartest of the bunch!” he said, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared.
