Breaking Down Gaddafi: Where Have We Seen This Guy Before? (PICTURE)

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been in power for decades, and if he has his way he won't be going anywhere soon. But in the United States, Gaddafi is unsettling for a different reason, specifically a nagging voice in our head asking: "Why does that guy look so incredibly familiar?"

As a public service, we want to put that question to rest once and for all. Here's a graphic visualization of why Gaddafi's unique look and persona seems so bizarrely recognizable.

Gaddafi is a tyrant, yes. That we can agree on. Insane? Surely. But is he the ugliest man alive? Well, I think he has that one sewn up.

OK, Let's analyze that Photo . . . First he has a Lousy Hairstyle, kinda early Brillo-Pad . . . Next the hat, which thankfully covers some of the hair, but does it in a really Creepy way . . . . Now the guy needs a shave, or maybe just needs to wash . . . .Dirt or Beard, even his 40 virgins body guard can't tell For Sure , . .except maybe by the Reek . . . . The dark glasses . . . . . he's wearing them beeeeeeecauuuuusssse ? ? ? he has no eyeballs ? ? ? . . . . . And That MuMu he's wearing matches the carpet we install in offices so it doesn't clash with the filth on it . . . .which clothing designer came up with that outfit ? ? ? ? Stevie Wonder ? ?

Only one guy not only can look like Gaddafi but I'm sure will do a skit or the opening monologue on SNL this weekend: Fred Arminsen.

You missed it entirely. He starred in the last three Steven Seagal movies.

Steven made three movies? I thought he just made one and just changed the titles.

That was weak. Stewart did way better on his show and I'm sure he'll do more next week.

I say he looks like a South American drug lord trying to get through customs by passing himself off as a younger Queen Elizabeth.
