The Best of the VMAs according to Twitter and the funny folks I follow.

Using social media to live update during major performances (Super Bowl, The Oscars, etc..) is always fun. Tonight's MTV Video Music Awards were definitely "interesting" with a ton of unexpected happenings perfect for the snarky Twitterati to comment on.

I present to you some of my favorites from tonight's #vmas from the people I follow:

Kanye West storming of the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Music Video:

Baratunde Thurston:
  1. is there someone running against Kanye West in 2010? If so, let's raise $400K for that person. #vmas #youlie
  2. i would pay HELLA money to see Kanye & Joe Wilson tour together. just yelling whatever comes to them #vmas #youlie #wwkd
Pink: Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.
TheBalcony: kanye beats lady gaga for most surprising dick move of the night...

The Taylor Swift performance that started on a "F Train":
Noah Mallin:Taylor Swift is on the whitest, youngest, F Train ever.
Maury Postal: Anyone know where I can find the fabulously lit F-Train Taylor Swift was on? It would really accent the rotting hobo I usually see.

Beyonce's Performance:
Maury Postal: Beyoncé is the best ventriloquist in the business. #girlyouknowitstrue
Michelle Collins: Also they should give a VMA to whoever waxes Beyonce. Always a stellar job. #VMAs

Lady Gaga Accepting Best New Artist in Full Red Outfit:
OMGICU:
Lady Gaga says that her award is " for God and for the gays." She also wore a human torch outfit.
Christina Coster: Looks like Lady Gaga stepped into a Slim Jim #VMAs

Serena Williams:
Lindsay Robertson: Serena Williams just told Taylor Swift she was going to shove that Moonman down her fucking throat.

Lady Gaga's Birds Nest Outfit:
@vonverena: Gaga's 4th outfit appears to be a sno-cone. #VMAs
