Stephen Colbert has had it with Netflix's hot serial killer trend
Watch Next

The entertainment industry is really going all out to sex up Ted Bundy, between Netflix's documentary series on the serial killer and the upcoming Zac Efron-starring Bundy film, and Stephen Colbert has had enough of it.

Responding to viewer tweets that discussed Bundy's hotness, Colbert deadpanned, he was smokin' because they gave him the electric chair for murdering people.” And the host even shared a Netflix tweet that shared the same sentiment.

But then Colbert kicked it up a notch with a trailer for his new true crime series, Dialogue with a Demon: The Dick Nighttime Murders. Experts regale the camera with talk of serial killer Richard "Dick" Nighttime's abs, biceps, and his beautiful blue eyes.

It's the type of spot-on parody we've come to expect from Colbert and, as always, it doesn't disappoint.
