Meme Alert: Tumblr Mocks Justin Bieber's VMAs Thank-You Speech

Justin Bieber certainly stood out at Sunday’s VMAs, but probably not in the ways he meant to: He made immature jokes about his pet snake Johnson, had an awkward kiss with girlfriend Selena Gomez, and then was blank-faced for the entire show.

We’ve all had our terrible TMI moments in relationships before: that time we blew up at our boyfriend in public for ordering us the wrong latte, or when your BFF borrowed your favorite dress to wear to a party and you tried to rip it off her. (Um, we all did that once, okay?) Most of us have the good sense after these humiliating blow-outs to apologize – hopefully in front of a large group of people – and get on with our lives.
