We all know someone who is driven to unspeakable rage by slowpokes in the left lane, and while their anger may not be healthy, this Vox explainer handily shows why they're not wrong. Not speeding (a little) in the left lane is really, really dangerous. While most people agree it should only be used for passing (and the law in 29 states mandates it), the danger of only going the speed limit in the left lane —or, god forbid, going 5 miles per hour slower—is much greater than you'd think. So, don't get angry, because that's also dangerous, but feel free to honk:

The word 'mansplaining' has exploded onto the scene in recent years to put a finer point on an age-old phenomenon: a guy condescendingly (unintentionally or not) explaining something to a woman that doesn't need explaining. It comes in two basic varieties: 1) explaining something she already knows, or 2) explaining why she should do something differently, not because it's wrong but because he or men in general would prefer it otherwise. We asked our readers for their best examples of mansplanations they've experienced or witnessed out in the real world, here are 15 of the best responses (not including the angry ones about how acknowledging this exists is a prelude to wiping out men):

1. Let's start off with Monica's example, which is egregious enough that it may spark its own genre: ManQuizzing.

Don't know if this is Mansplaining or ManQuizzing, you can decide.

This is a conversation which I actually witnessed; it occurred at my place in NY and it was between a male friend of my husband and a female friend of mine. They met for the first time, and my friend is very attractive and the male friend was obviously taken with her.

Man: So where do you live?

Woman: I live in Hollywood, Florida.

Man: Where is that?

Woman: That's in South Florida; not too far from Ft Lauderdale, close to Miami.

Man: Did you know that Miami has its own football team?

Woman: Um, yes.

Man: What's the team's name?

Woman: (giving me a glance like "Are you f'ing kidding me?) The Miami Dolphins.

Man: (With a satisfied look on his face) That's right. Very good.

2. This story from reader ACV is what happens when someone can speak English but can't seem to hear it.

I teach English as a Second Language. When I was starting out in the field, a man I was dating told me, "You're not fluent in Spanish, so how can you teach that class? It's impossible." Now, how he came to the conclusion that I could not do a thing, I cannot understand. He wasn't a teacher.

How he came to the conclusion that I could not do a thing in which I held a Masters degree, I really do not want to know.

I told him, "We have methods of teaching using English. I learned them in graduate school. Also, the people in my class represent eight different languages. It only makes sense to use English."

Fast forward through some heartbreak and many years. He has a partner and a child, and I'm married to a much better man, and my husband has taught me a lot of Spanish. The former boyfriend friends me on Facebook, and asks me what I'm up to. "I've just started teaching ESL at ___ Community College," I say.

"Well, I hear that these days you don't need to speak Spanish to teach ESL, so you should be fine," says he.

To be clear, this is not just the second time he Mansplained to me on the same subject; this time he Mansplained using the information I had told him the last time he tried it. And he assumed that in all those years I never learned Spanish.

Thank God I married someone else.

3. Normally, you talk about the weather to avoid controversy. As Sabina Amber points out, it's still no protection from condescension:

I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area and had lived there for 32 years. I was traveling for work and spent 6 months in Wyoming. At work one day I was discussing the smog in LA in the 70's and how bad it was because of the topography that caused the car and industrial emissions to collect in the basin to form an inversion layer. At this point this gentleman interrupts and tells me that I have no idea what I'm talking about and that LA has no inversion layer. Forget the fact that he was born and raised in Nebraska, had never actually been to LA, and that I had spent all those years watching weathermen describe the smog levels as a result of the inversion layer.....So, yea....mansplaining.

4. This story emailed in by an anonymous reader shows that some dudes can learn their lesson...if embarrassed by another dude in public.

My son has played football for about 9 years. I have been a football fan in general for almost all my life. When I am at his games by myself there is always some dad that tries to tell me how the plays work, what the referee means on penalty calls, and what the positions do. As I was volunteering on the sidelines one day doing what it called the "chain gang", I had a dad try to explain how to do it. I looked at him and told him he was wrong, he had his part of the chain in the wrong place and that he needed to move it. Then the referee came up and told him the same damn thing. He stopped trying to tell me anything after that and then started asking me questions.

5. Our reader Emily's story (probably) takes place at a coffee shop, but it's also the most universal.

I was once training a guy on his first day at work. I was making a drink and had my hands full and asked him to hand me an ingredient. He proceeded to explain to me where we keep the ingredient instead. Bitch, I've been working here for two years. You only know how to find the almond milk because I just showed you. Pipe down.

6. This amazing reader would like to be known as "Anne, a woman at every job ever" and judging by these stories, that's accurate.

I worked on a committee with a man who was convinced I could not disagree with him. Every time I did, with a fully articulated explanation about why I held a different view, he would respond, "You don't understand." And proceed to tell me AGAIN why his position was correct. Typically, he ignored my arguments against his position or taking a different position. So, it was just a recitation of his position. This would go on in a completely circular fashion, with me responding to each "you don't understand" and lengthy recitation of his position with "I understand, I don't agree" and my rebuttal, until the other members of the committee would lose their shit and call a halt to the "discussion."

7. Now, this tale from London (enjoy the "-re" and "ou" spelling) isn't so much "mansplaining" as "flat-out medieval chauvinism" but you can see the evolutionary links between the two.

I have a cracker for you; a good few years ago my hubby and I were on our way to a night out at the theatre to see The Woman In Black in London's West End. Anyway, we know pretty much all the quickest routes from A to B and, the train having run late, decided to get a cab for the last leg to avoid missing the start.

We gave the cabbie the theatre name and off we went. For anyone not familiar with London's black taxis, the doors are locked when you set off (this bit's important). After a couple of minutes, I realised he was taking us 'the long way around', so I politely asked him to the the next street and a particular route to save time (and money). After ignoring me twice I assertively asked him to take us the route I had asked him to.

All Hell broke loose; he drove down some really dodgy back alleys and then slammed the taxi to a stop at a traffic light, and began berating me for 'not knowing my place as a woman' and how dare I even have the nerve to tell him what to do etc.! My hubby sat, very patiently, as I showed the driver how sharp my teeth were, but then he started threatening me with a beating because 'in his country women know their place'.

At this point hubby goes native at the guy full-on 'Mediterranean' - who is refusing to unlock the doors to let us out - and is creaming at the guy who is now complaining that he ought to 'keep your woman under control' and telling him he is a 'weak man' for not 'keeping me under control' (LMAO - right???).

I start shouting in German, the driver is then screaming in (I think) Arabic, hubby starts shouting in Albanian. Imagine the scene: steamed up windows, 3 people shouting in different languages. Thankfully I spot 2 police officers and start banging on the window for help. They forced the driver to let us out - he continues his tirade about British women being mentally unstable etc., so hubby gives the police officer the fare as the driver is arrested.

8. This anonymous reader wrote to us from the sports world, where it's clear she is what hockey teams call an "enforcer."

I work in an major hockey arena in the operations department. I am the only female in my department and the only female manager in the building. I have created an atmosphere now where most men won't even crack a sexist comment of fear of my wrath that follows. I don't let them get away with much, however my male direct superior feels I am still inadequate in understanding certain aspects of this business.

I admittedly am not a fan of hockey, but as a Canadian I'm not a dumbass and know the basics and how it's played. A few years into my job and hundreds of hockey games later, we had a celebrity hockey tournament in our building and I was taking a moment to watch the game. A fight had broken out and one of the players was being escorted to the penalty box.

It was a bad call on the refs part and I commented "What! Come on!" My superior turns to me with a serious look on his face and says "You see, in hockey there are rules and when players break those rules they go to the penalty box " Then he continued to explain the rules of hockey and what calls would send players to the penalty box. Took me all my strength not to roll my eyes in front of him and walk away. Instead I encouraged him to continue to explain how hockey was played- eventually I think he got it as he pretended to get a phone call and walked away.

9. Dear Gabrielle on Facebook's boyfriend: do not doubt her skills with the tofu.

Definitely not as big a deal as I'm sure some of these will be, but I have been a vegetarian for eight years, and I've been cooking a lot of my own food since then. My boyfriend likes to tell me that I don't know how to make tofu. Or even how to open tofu. I mean, in love the guy but come on.

10. Maria's mansplanation was perhaps the most insultingly dumb, but at least he fessed up.

I was on a date with a guy and he was driving. I was freezing so I asked him 'do you mind if I turn the heat up?'

He indicated to the air conditioner nob (which dictates the temperature with red and blue lines) and says 'it's here, if you turn it towards to blue it goes colder but if you turn it towards the red it goes warmer'

To his credit, though, when I started laughing and said 'you totally just mansplained that to me' he said 'wow I did, I'm sorry... Want to learn how to open a car door too?'

Nice guy, we still talk.

11. Margeret's story raises important questions, like: What? Seriously? How could you even think... just.... why?

My sister and I went to an electronics store to buy a TV for her new apartment. She had narrowed it down to two options and we were discussing the merits of each when a (male) employee came over and started mansplaining to us that the 54" option was going to be a little bigger than the 50". I had to walk away because I didn't know whether to laugh or scream or cry.

12. If I'm being totally honest, I don't really understand this story (carpets absorb food, is my guess). But I do understand that Katelyn understands it, and that's what's important:

My then boyfriend, now my husband, once explained to me why his high school took out carpet from the cafeteria and replaced it with a hard surface. This seems innocent enough, until you find out that I'm a Kitchen and Bath designer with a college degree.

13. Kathryn on Facebook has clearly needed a place to vent about Skippy McNumnuts for a while.

A guy I work with often tries to tell me how I'm doing a task is wrong. And yet my assistant manager is about 2 seconds away from wringing this guy's neck for incorrectly rotating product ON A REGULAR BASIS. I work in a grocery store deli. Rotation is KINDA a big deal. But Skippy McNumnuts insists that he's the only one who knows how to do everything right. I'm just waiting for him to get his foot stuck in a trashcan.

14. Zoe on Facebook returns to a popular theme in this post: it's risky to talk about sports as a woman.

I was once at a bar with a couple male friends, and two guys none of us had ever met joined our conversation about football. We all love football, me included. The Super Bowl was about to be played between the Giants & the Patriots. I made a comment about how I hate the Patriots, even then they had their spying scandals, and I said Bill Belichick is a piece of shit.

One of the strangers overheard, said, "oh, a WOMAN is talking about football!" and went on a tirade about how terrible the Patriots are and I don't know what I'm talking about. funny, that's actually the opinion I was expressing! when I started to tell him i agree, that's what I was saying, he interrupted me to look to my two (male) friends to ask "whose woman is she?" I was absolutely dumbfounded. my quick-witted friend stepped in and said "damn man, she's her own woman!" and the guy shut up. I think the guy was drunk, but the whole thing was pretty obnoxious. sorry to all the Patriots fans, y'all should know a lot of people hate your team.

15. As a cute bonus: KayeC wrote us this adorable tale of her mansplainer-in-training.

Riding in the car to a doctors appointment with my 4 year old. He did not want to go. "We have to go now; we have an appointment today," I said to my son. His arms are crossed on his chest and his face is unhappy. "Well that's just great Mom," he says to me, "and I don't mean that's great, like that's awesome, I mean that's great like that sucks." A 4 year old boy explained his sarcasm to me.

The MTV Video Music Awards are tonight and everyone's super jazzed about Britney Spears' big comeback. Even old people like me who still say things like "super jazzed." In case you haven't been following her Instagram, which is a treasure in and of itself, Britney's back at the top of her game. The pop princess will be performing her new single, "Make Me..." at the awards, and none of our lives will ever be the same, probably. To hold us over until the big performance, let's take a look back at Britney's most iconic performances over the last 17 years.

1. "Like a Virgin," 2003

If I had to choose, I'd say this is the worst Britney VMA performance. She had to sing Madonna's song, wear Madonna's bride outfit, and suck face with Madonna. Nothing against Madge, but I'd rather see Britney lip syncing her OWN songs ya know? The greatest part of this performance is when the camera cuts to Britney's ex Justin Timberlake right after the kiss. Remember that juicy drama? Christina Aguilera was there too, but no one really gave a rip.

2. "Gimmie More," 2007

Most people would say this is Britney's worst VMA performance. She staggered around the stage with dead eyes and a bad weave, but this song can still get it. Almost a decade later and we're still saying "It's Britney bitch." Britney Jean's struggle in 2007 makes her comeback all the more exciting. Besides who among us can't relate to having a total freakin' breakdown? In 2007, I was listening to this song on repeat, pouring vanilla vodka on my head, and sharing an air mattress bed with a roommate. Just saying it could've been worse, Brit.

3. "Hit Me Baby One More Time," 1999

If this doesn't make you nostalgic, then nothing will. Britney performed her break out hit, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" with *NSYNC for crying out loud. She wore sparkly slacks and sneakers no less, are you kidding me? Dang, someone get me a time machine so I can travel back in time and relive these glory days of musical talent.

4. Oops I Did It Again, 2000

Wow, I was so glad I survived Y2K so I could see Britney perform "Oops I Did It Again" at the 2000 VMAs. This is the one where she did a strip tease to "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and then revealed her nearly naked bod in a sheer bedazzled body suit from the "Toxic" video (Before the "Toxic" Video came out, whoa.) Oops, she did it again, she crushed it at the VMAs.

5. I'm a Slave For You, 2001

Hands down this is Britney's most iconic VMA performance, and I feel confident in saying it's the most iconic performance of anyone ever in the history of music. Sorry Elvis, or whatever. Brit lip-synced "I'm a Slave for You" while gyrating around a live tiger. If that wasn't mind blowing enough, she suggestively carried around a live white boa constrictor with her on stage. This performance is everything. It combines all of my life's passions: Britney Spears, unlikely animal friendships, and wishing it was still 2001.

How will tonight's VMA's compare? Tune in to MTV at 9pm Eastern to find out.

Rihanna rocked the stage four times, Kanye rambled for four minutes, Britney danced around enormous hands, and Alicia Keys got poetic. But mainly, mostly, Beyonce dominated the night, in awards, in performance, in everything. Here are 39 of the best live reactions to the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards:

The only good, reputable news outlet—a Facebook page called "Otter News"—just posted this video of an otter juggling rocks. As far as news broadcasts go, it's extremely quality sh*t—neither exploitative, nor biased, nor sensational. So please watch and get informed:

Remember when Donald Trump used the mass shooting in Orlando to say he "called it?" Well, now he's at it again, using the tragic shooting of NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin, Nykea Aldridge, to say that, somehow, this event will make black voters choose him in November. That is not at all an exaggeration of what this tweet says:

A black woman was shot, ergo, black people will vote for Trump. Makes sense.

A little bit later Trump followed up his previous tweet with a much more refined one:

Which one do you think was written by him, and which one was written by his team?

VMA fashion, at its best, is fun and colorful and wacky. But sometimes it's just, like, bad. Here are those times. (But, if you're not into schadenfreude, check out the best dressed.)

1. Amber Rose

Did you get that suit at the Men's Warehouse, Am?

2. Jenni Farley

When did JWoww turn into Morticia Addams? I don't even hate this, but it's weird!

3. Fat Joe

Fitting for someone named Fat Joe, he looks like a flamboyant Jersey mobster.

4. Ashley Graham

Sheer + sequins is kind of boring now, right? Like, we get it, you have underwear! Also, why is her hair wet?

5. Taylor Hill

The Victoria's Secret Angel chose a dress that made it look like she had been torn apart by wild animals.

6. Jaden Smith

Yeah, this is what I could have predicted Jaden Smith would wear.

7. Jojo

Hippie on the bottom, Rihanna on the top.

8. Rita Ora

Well, that's a lot, isn't it?

9. Ariana Grande

The top is cute, but why is she wearing it with her grandmother's sensible slacks?

10. Kim Kardashian

Kim, your tampon string is showing!

The VMAs might be the best awards show for fashion in the entire year, because people actually take fun risks. Here are the coolest looks from the night—including a surprising number of very dapper men. (Or, if you're a meaner reader, hop right on over to the worst dressed.)

1. Okay, first Beyoncé.

The Queen, with Princess Blue Ivy. My God.

2. Robert Sepúlveda Jr.

The Finding Prince Charming star—pictured with show host Lance Bass—wore a suit printed with butterflies. Everyone deserves this suit.

3. Jay Pharoah

Another damn cool suit, and well-tailored, too.

4. Quvenzhané Wallis

Wallis, in addition to being an Academy Award nominee, appeared in Beyoncé's "Formation" video, if you couldn't tell from her very "Formation"-like dress.

5. Desiigner

Is the VMAs the only awards show where men actually wear interesting clothing?

6. Nicki Minaj

Great color, and so sexy (and long) that I'm not sure how she walks in it.

7. Baddie Winkle

I don't know who this lady is but automatic best dressed.

8. Hailee Steinfeld

A lot of short dresses at the ceremony ended up looking kind of like something you'd wear to your cousin's Bat Mitzvah, but this one was very stylish and cute.

9. Justine Skye

Gorgeous and weird—she should have stood next to Beyoncé so they could look like two beautiful Muppets together. This dress is amazing.

Britney Spears performed at the VMAs for the first time in almost a decade tonight. She had a fun performance to a new song that's pretty catchy! But someone made her follow this:

Here's the whole performance:

Sorry, Brit.

In an effort to scare teens into not getting pregnant, many high schools have employed the use of "Baby Think it Over dolls"—robot infants that are supposed to mimic the experience of having a child so accurately that any teen in their right mind would then do everything in their power not to reproduce. Well, according to a new study published in The Lancet Medical Journal, caring for these cyborg-children may be having the exact opposite effect of what was intended.

The study followed 2800 girls between the ages of 13-15 until the time they were 20, and revealed that those who were given lifelike computerized dolls as part of a pregnancy-prevention program were 36% more likely to give birth or have an abortion before the age of 20. Back in the day you may have cared for a sack of flour or an egg, but these cyborg-children need to be burped, fed, rocked and changed, and won't stop crying until they are appeased. They're almost like your real kids but without the capacity to love.

The study suggested that some teens became so attached to the plastic computer-babies that they decided to trade in the model for the real thing: a living, breathing poop factory that they have to keep alive for the next eighteen years. Whoops!

The study was done in Australia, but 89 countries (including the US) have used the robot infants as parts of teaching students about sexual education. Maybe it is time to retire the robo-babies and just talk to students about contraception and safe sex. Could it really be that simple? Probably, yeah.

Britney Spears had the misfortune of following Beyoncé for her grand return to the VMAs, the very stage where the most iconic stunts like dancing with the snake and kissing Madonna took place. Considering the circumstances, Brit Brit did a pretty fine job, considering the fact that she had to follow Formation.

In a sparkly leotard that looked like an ad for an expensive, painful Brazilian wax, Britney lip-synched her way through "Make Me..." and "Me, Myself & I," which aren't as overtly political (or political at all) as the songs on Lemonade.

Britney was also joined by rapper G-Eazy, who apparently wasn't Lady Gaga as her drag character "Jo Calderone" from the 2011 VMAs.

Watch the performance while you pleasantly nod, "Good for her."

Laura Perlongo, fiancée of Catfish star Nev Schulman, showed off her baby bump and boobies and everything else with her super revealing look at the VMAs this weekend.

Perlongo may have forgotten to wear a shirt under her army-green bomber jacket, but luckily, she didn't forget to wear some sort of criss-cross boob chain. Phew, that would have been embarrassing!

However, despite showing an exorbitant amount of skin, the weirdest thing about this look is Nev's silver choker/collar thing. It looks like neck armor and it is strange.

Hey look, if there is ever a time to take a fashion risk, it is definitely at the VMAs. Plus, it doesn't even look like she could zip that jacket up if she tried, so flaunt it, Laura, flaunt it!

Sunday night, the VMAs gave Kanye West four minutes to do whatever the hell he wanted, and Kanye went full Kanye. He delivered a wide-reaching sermon that covered the topics of fame, love, slavery, and the history of merchant artists (really), violence in Chicago, and his infamous "Famous" video.

Kanye gave shoutouts to a few women in particular, for instance his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, whom he both dated and feuded on and off with, his "G" wife Kim Kardashian West, and of course, Taylor Swift.

First, he joked, "later tonight, ‘Famous’ might lose to Beyonce, but I can’t be mad. I’m always wishing for Beyonce to win so…” That was an allusion to the notorious "Imma let you finish moment" that "made that bitch famous."

"You know, like, people come up to me like, ‘Yeah, that’s right! Take Taylor!’ But bro, like, I love all y’all. That’s why I called her," he said, then transitioning into something much more serious: parents whose children have been killed.

If you can follow the speech, it's likely a very moving experience.

Here's a full transcript of the long-ass monologue, via Time:

I am Kanye West, and that feels especially great to say this year. I came here to present my new video, but before I do that, I’mma talk. Now, later tonight, ‘Famous’ might lose to Beyoncé, but I can’t be mad. I’m always wishing for Beyoncé to win, so.

But for people to understand just how blessed we are… It was an expression of our now, our fame right now, us on the inside of the TV. You know, just to put… the audacity to put Anna Wintour right next to Donald Trump. I mean, like, I put Ray J in it, bro. This is fame, bro! Like, I see you Amber. My wife is a G. Not a lot of peoples’ wives would let them say that right there. We came over in the same boat. Now we all in the same bed. Well, maybe different boats, but uh.

But if you think about last week, there were 22 people murdered in Chicago. You know, like, people come up to me like, ‘Yeah, that’s right! Take Taylor!’ But bro, like, I love all y’all. That’s why I called her.

So I was speaking at the Art Institute last year, and a kid came up to me and said ‘Three of my friends died, and I don’t know if I’m gonna be the next.’ And it has to, you know you have to think, like, when you’re a senior and it’s the last month and you just don’t feel like doing any more work. If you feel like you seeing people dying right next to you, you might feel like, what’s the point? You know like life could be like, starting to feel worthless in a way. I know times for me, I sit down and talk to older, like, like, rich people. You know, a.k.a. white, you know. And they tell me, ‘Don’t compare yourself to Steve Jobs. Don’t compare yourself to Walt Disney,’ and my friend Zekiah[sp?]told me… they tell me, ‘Don’t compare yourself to these people, right.’ My friend Zekiah [sp?] told me there’s three keys to keeping people impoverished: that’s taking away their esteem, taking away their resources, and taking away their role models. My role models are artists, merchants. There’s less than ten that I can name in history. Truman. Ford. Hughes. Disney. Jobs. West.

Bro. Bro! Tonight, we here to have fun. I’m standing in front of my idol, Puff Daddy. I’m standing in front of my wife, Kim Kardashian West. I’m standing in front of the future: Chance the Rapper, 2 Chainz, Jaden Smith. Bro, we are undeniably the influence, the thought leaders. I’m gonna play y’all a piece of my art, and I just hope y’all have a good time. Play that.

Sorry, patriarchy, but women completely owned the 2016 MTV Music Video Awards last night. The ladies crushed it so hard and looked so fierce you almost felt sorry for the poor men . . . almost. It's OK, fellas, you're still the best at making everyone feel uncomfortable with your awkward and too-long speeches.

ICYMI, here were 5 moments women dominated the VMAs last night. Better luck next year, fellas!

1. Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj gave us all the #goals

The only thing better than one female performer are two female performers. Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande joined forces to sing their hit "Side by Side" in a musical number that gave us everything: pink outfits, exercise bikes, and beefcake hunks. Best of all, Ariana continues to prove you can crush life even if you don't change your hairstyle for like 10 years. Ponytails forever. Oh, and then there was this moment:

2. Team USA Gymnasts showed us what girl power looks like

The U.S. women's gymnastics team stole our hearts at the 2016 Olympics and it doesn't look like they'll be giving them back anytime soon. Last night the foursome (minus Gabby Douglas, who was not feeling well) presented the VMA for Best Female Video to none other than Queen Bey herself. It's kind of impossible to look at these women and not smile and think they're adorable, even though they are nothing but pure muscle and could easily kill any of us with their bare hands if they felt like it. Let's just keep them this happy forever.

3. Beyoncé

Speaking of Beyoncé, duh, she killed it last night. She basically did a Superbowl half time show at the VMAs and no one cared. Bey belted out pretty much her entire "Lemonade" album, and her fans lost their damn minds. She wore fur coats, twerked through fire, and smashed one of MTV's cameras with a baseball bat—all while barely breaking a sweat. Oh, and when she won Video of the Year (for "Formation"), no one was brave or stupid enough to interrupt her.

4. Britney's comeback

Britney Spears had a much anticipated comeback to the VMAs last night. While she didn't gyrate with a live snake as in years past, she did prove she can still do her damn thing. My only complaint is why was that greasy guy there rapping and trying to mack on her? She's out of her K-Fed phase, bro. Also, why didn't she sing 100 more songs? Nonetheless, Britney absolutely slayed last night. She's a hot dancer and a flawless lip syncher and looked like a really sexy half-peeled banana while doing both.

5. Rihanna won the Video Vanguard Award

The night belonged to Rihanna. The 28-year-old dominated the VMA stage while performing nearly all the hits from her impressive career. She opened up the show and performed a total of four times throughout the evening, repeatedly whipping the crowd into a frenzy. The moment that made everyone lose their collective minds, however, was when rumored love interest Drake presented RiRi with the Video Vanguard Award—basically, a lifetime achievement award—with a long speech confirming his true and pure love for the singer. He said, "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22-years-old." Aww. Then, um, she hilariously reacted to him like this:

All in all, it was the best. You go, girls.

Last night G-Eazy (Who? Exactly.) had the opportunity to perform with VMA icon Britney Spears, but instead of just being grateful to be on stage with the pop princess during her return performance, Gerald Earl Gillum went in for a kiss. Like a goddamn newb.

G-Eazy gives Brit the "it's gonna be ok" hand on cheek move and pulls her in, but she pulls away and shakes her head "no" like he was trying to show her a compilation video of skateboarding fails.

Despite all the cues, he keeps going for it to the point that Britney, bitch has to grab his arm in an MMA block and give him another "no" head shake before turning away. Listen up, G-Sleazy, you aren't Madonna, and Britney doesn't need this.

He was anticipating this attempt for a bit, too. Watch him gearing up for the kiss seconds before.

Looking like a gulping, fish-mouthed baby trying to find the nipple of his bottle. You drunk? You may make your fans call you G, but this move was all Gerald.

Well, Anthony Weiner's in hot penis water again, reportedly caught sexting with yet another woman who is not his wife, Huma Abedin (a top Hillary Clinton aide).

The recipient of his messages—which range from flirty to pretty explicit—dick pics, and "graphic, homemade text-and-emoji image of an ejaculating penis" is an unidentified brunette. Her political beliefs, according to the Post, are the exact opposite of Weiner's—she's an alleged supporter of Donald Trump and the NRA who has bashed President Obama on Twitter. Ah, romance.

Screenshots show text messages as far back as January 2015, but the picture that's getting the most attention is the one he sent to her of himself lying in bed, his bulge still (thankfully) in his signature boxer briefs. Also in the picture? His 4-year-old son, who curled up in bed next to him midway through their sexting session.

Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after accidentally tweeting a selfie of his member that was meant to be a private message. In 2013, he came in last place in the race to be mayor of New York after a fairly promising start when he was involved in another scandal, this one including the information that he went by Carlos Danger online.

Before you decide if you want to watch Jimmy Fallon's performance as Ryan Lochte at the VMAs on Sunday, watch Michael Phelps' reaction when he first sees the character:

Unfortunately, the bit didn't really fulfill the look of promise on Michael Phelps' face.

The audience seemed highly skeptical of topical jokes putting Ryan Lochte in his place, probably because America's already moved on to hating Anthony Weiner (again).

But if you're a fan of cringeworthy jokes and uncomfortable audiences, here:

And here:

Fallon's reaction, cheerful as always, is that he will see you tonight.
