Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, you should be well aware that last night the second of the 2012 election debates, the vice-presidential debates, took place in Danville, KY. After President Barack Obama's rather disappointing performance during last week's first presidential debate against GOP candidate Mitt Romney, the meeting of crazy-talkin' Vice President Joe Biden and meme-inspiring nominee Congressman Paul Ryan was highly anticipated and bore high stakes, to say the least.

The debate focused on domestic and foreign policy and, as expected, both nominees brought their A-game. Their hour-and-a-half long "discussion" was, to put it bluntly, pretty vicious.

Also hilariously vicious were the viewers taking to the Internet to comment and live blog during the debate. In case you missed the debate, or just want to relive it through the eyes of Twitter's finest, here are our the 25 best reactions on Twitter to the vice-presidential debate.

Actual quote.

There are no bad ideas, only stupid ones.

But only in California.

Clearly, Paul Ryan hasn't read Joe Biden's Wikipedia page. Other than revealing that his middle name is Robinette, it also explains how his wife and 1-year-old daughter were killed in a car crash in 1972.

Isn't that the Mitt Romney all of us know?

Who hasn't seen it?

How else do you think he keeps his skin so silky smooth?

He was just trying to charge up his battery by absorbing the overhead light through his sparkling white teeth. Solar power, bitches.

Think he knows from experience?

You wouldn't like Biden when he's angry.

Would you say...you can't stand for this malarkey?

Perhaps in the Taiwanese animation of the debate that's sure to pop up on the Internet in a few days.

In that case, the angels had a great night tonight.

Once again, surely in the Taiwanese animation.

Fact: They braided each other's hair and painted each other's nails before going on stage for the debate.

Well, this is just sweet.

Again, in the Taiwanese animation.

And we really need a vice president who at least talks third grade foreign policy. Sorry.
