Rick Moranis Looks Like Capitol Rioter And Twitter Ain't Afraid Of No Jokes

"Honey, I shrunk the insurrection," one wiseacre wrote.

Who you gonna call? The FBI .

The law enforcement agency posted a “wanted” photo Sunday of a Capitol riot suspect who looks like “Ghostbusters” actor Rick Moranis , according to Twitter users.

The bureau asked for help in identifying the helmeted man. It got jokes.

Poor Rick. The “Spaceballs” and “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids” star, now 67, got sucker-punched on the streets of Manhattan in October in what cops described as a “random unprovoked attack.” And now he has to bear the brunt of lines like “Honey, I shrunk the insurrection” for the potentially serious crimes of someone else.

Hundreds have been charged in the deadly pro-Trump riot to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden ’s victory.

The cracks about the Moranis lookalike were multiplying fast, too.
