Now you have your pop culture shocking meta-happenings like Madonna giving Britney and Cristina a kiss while singing the first hit she sang at the VMAs, and the camera pulling away to look at Justin Timberlake's face like OMG!!!! WHAT DOES HE THINK OF THIS!!11!

It's cliche, but there really was a "who gives a fuck? Let's just screw around" sense of fun with both shows for years. As soon as they started taking themselves seriously and people actually felt like they needed to win, blech.

I want Nathanial Hornblower and Fartman bumrushing the show again!

"The show will air just once" angle sounds like a ploy to passively encourage clip circulation throughout YouTube.

When I was a pop culture-starved teenager of the 90s with a penchant for shiny evening dresses, I used to try to watch the whole thing (against my mum's whishes), and repeats the next Saturday if need be.

Note: I may also need to be fanned at certain moments.

Will there be any Canadian Police Provocateurs there?
