In a stand-up set at SXSW—and with probably the most apt metaphor—Judd Apatow compared Donald Trump to a contestant on The Bachelor.

"Is the Trump thing scaring you?" he asked the crowd. "He's kind of like the psycho girl on The Bachelor that you don't want to get kicked out too soon, because she might have sex with somebody in the ocean. But it's time he doesn't get the rose." (For what it's worth, everyone seemed to love that line (opens in new tab).)

It almost beats out John Mulaney, who compared Donald Trump to a really good Family Feud contestant. (Almost.)
