Live tweets make every award show bearable better, and the MTV VMAs, with all of their faux and sometimes genuine controversy-bait, is one of Music Twitter's super bowls. Throw in Miley Cyrus as a host, add a guaranteed Kanye appearance, sprinkle in a little pre-telecast beef between Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and later, host Miley, and you've got a recipe for, well, not a total failure. The Internet's best comedians flexed their Twitter Fingers and got to work firing jokes, memes, and reactions off for the entirety of the two-and-a-half hour affair. Here's a recap of the best e-commentary during tonight's Cyrus-anchored shitshow, including some spectacular shade from Justin Timberlake. (And if you're looking specifically for Kanye's contributions to the night, we got you covered here.)
