Stephen Colbert gave Cyber Monday a mocking new nickname in honor of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The online shopping discount day can also be known as “buy Jeff Bezos a second penis rocket day,” the comedian cracked on Monday’s episode of “The Late Show.” Colbert was referencing the shape of the rocket that the billionaire’s Blue Origin aerospace company uses to take people to the edge of space.

Cyber Monday is “the highlight of the holiday season,” Colbert joked, noting that it’s when “children lie awake in their beds listening for the click, click, click of their mom entering promo codes.”
