How would you punish 🧙Saruman?

[Idril Celebrindal]

Imagine: You are Gandalf. You have just broken Saruman's staff, and now it is time for you to decide how to punish him. Would you make the same choice as Gandalf - to lock him up in his tower - or would you do something different? Something a bit more interesting?
So, how would you punish Saruman?
Creative and funny ideas please, not violent or gory ones. No disembowling or dissections.

I would personally lock him in a cinema room that plays the Star Wars Holiday Special in a constant loop.

If you're going that route, why not this?

The Bilbo-Bilbo-Bilbo refrain sounds oddly like a Barny the Dinosaur song 🤔

 

[Elwing the White]

Probably just make him suffer through every episode of Rings of Power.

I won't go into detail; but leave
this Saruman fellow to meeeow.

This one takes the cake for me! I really can't think of a worse punishment! 😂

The sinister aspect of this punishment is: no matter how often he asks we don't tell him what a license plate is for.

I guess you haven't seen the Sequel Trilogy?

I have seen it, and I think it's terrible, but it's not all Cursed™️ like the Holiday Special is.

Stripped of his powers and left with Wormtongue as a companion. ALL his powers, even that of persuasion. Or imprison him with a deaf jailor.

It might be interesting to lock him in a room with a 64-disk tower of hanoi and tell him that we'll let him go when he solves it.
(a 64-disk tower of hanoi would basically take billions of years to solve)
