My God.

"Flashing Lights" is such an awesome song. I really do love Kanye West. Musically speaking of course... and, okay, when he makes Taylor Swift cry.

Kanye's shrug.

IT KILLS ME, GUYS. EVERY TIME. It's my favorite part of this whole thing.

I love this.

Somehow, watching the 2009 MTV VMAs never gets old. Ooh, it's time for Taylor Swift to get her award and then be rudely/hilariously interrupted right... now!

Argh

I love Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Russell Brand is extremely annoying in every other context. Like... he SUCKED hosting the VMAs.

You know...

The Kanye West thing took precedence, but the 2009 VMAs were just a hot mess. There was that, Lady Gaga's amazingness, especially when Eminem greeted her on stage and looked genuinely frightened. There was that guy that couldn't do the Michael Jackson lean properly. There was that random woman who jumped up on stage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Seriously, it was the hot mess-iest of hot messes. And that's awesome.
