If you haven't seen Spike's "Lip Sync Battle" then you are truly missing out. In case you're new to the internet, the concept is that each week, two celebrities go head to head lip singing popular songs.
Elaborate costumes and back up dancers are sometimes involved, but it is absolutely perfect. I've seen every single episode, so I consider myself a bit of an expert. Without further ado, here are 40 of the best performances.
1. "Shake It Off" by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
The Rock singing Taylor Swift is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Having a crap day? Try not to be in a better mood after watching this.
2. "A Thousand Miles" by Terry Crews
White Chicks anyone? Shirtless Crews, ballerinas, and ribbon twirling. #Flawless
3. "It's Raining Men" by Ilana Glazer
The enthusiasm and crazed joy in this dance are completely contagious.
4. "Everything Is Awesome" by Will Arnett
Who doesn't love Will Arnett pretending to be a rapping/dancing lego?
5. "Bang Bang" by Alison Brie
One of my absolute faves!! The gangster vibe is super creative and was pulled off as well as Brie's costume change.
6. "It's Tricky" by Cheryl James (Salt)
Look up 'boss ass bitch' in the dictionary and you'll probably see a picture from this lip sync.
7. "Waiting For Tonight" by Christina Milian
We don't deserve Christina Milian in general, but no one is worthy of this performance.
8. "Work from Home" by Matt McGorry
If you watch "How To Get Away With Murder", it's hysterical to watch Asher essentially become a stripper.
9. "Born This Way" by Bellamy Young
Again, if you watch "Scandal" then this is 100x better. But either way, this performance is total Gaga, complete with an egg entrance.
10. "Want You To Want Me" by Katherine McPhee
Doing her competitor's song is hilarious as it is, the added "Last Friday Night" vibe just makes it even better.
11. "Can't Touch This" by John Legend
The only thing better than Legend's hammer pants is his wife Chrissy Teigen's reactions.
12. "Whip/ Nae Nae" by Sonequa Martin-Green
Girlfriend would have won this based on her fantastic performance, but then she brought in FREAKING ZOMBIES. Given that she was going against "The Walking Dead" star Lauren Cohan, it was hilarious and ironic.
13. "Forget You" by Anthony Anderson
You definitely won't forget this charismatic performance, complete with an old timey diner backdrop.
14. "Rhythm Nation" by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If you're going to do rhythm nation, then you better deliver. And JGL blew everyone out of the water with this epic performance.
15. "Material Girl" by Taraji P Henson
Queen Henson killed it with the theatricality and old Hollywood vibe.
16. "Larger Than Life" by Gigi Hadid
This was epic and badass enough, and then she had to bring out some of the freakin' Backstreet Boys. Like what?
17. "Take On Me" by Tyler Posey
TBH Tyler Posey is one of my favorite actors so he could have just stood on stage and I would have put him on this list. But this whole song is just so adorable and upbeat you can't help but love it.
18. "Footloose" by Ricky Martin
Everyone loves Footloose, and everyone loves Ricky Martin. Putting the two together just makes sense.
19. "MILF $" by Skylar Astin
Okay so Astin in a wig and dress is funny and all but can we talk about the tiny children that come on and SLAY this dance?
20. "Wrecking Ball" by Anne Hathaway
I LOVE this. It's hysterical already, but when Hathaway jumps on her own wrecking ball and flips off Emily Blunt, I die.
21. "I Just Had Sex" by Julianne Hough
The best part about this whole thing is brother Derek Hough's uncomfortable expressions through the entire song.
22. "So What" by Jim Rash
Great lip sync, check. Bomb dance moves, check. Killer outfit, check.
23. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Cassadee Pope
This lip sync was adorable and all but then my homeboy Brendon freakin' Urie came out and turned everything up to an eleven. Extra points to the Panic! singer's weird dance moves.
24. "Booty" by Anna Kendrick
This was the first battle I saw and is honestly my favorite. And it totally isn't just because I'm completely in love with Kendrick.
25. "Proud Mary" by John Krasinski
I'm a sucker for a tear-away tuxedo that reveals a sparkly dress. You can't beat it.
26. "Dirrty" by Stephen Merchant
We didn't need or want this lip sync, but we got it.
27. "You Better Work" by NeNe Leakes
The dress, the hair, the eyelashes, I can't.
28. "Run the World" by Channing Tatum
You knew this would be on here, let's be real. Queen B graced the stage and even Tatum knew that he was unworthy.
29. "Pony" by Jenna Dewan Tatum
It's sexy, it's a riot, it's a little bit cringy. I'm not saying Dewan Tatum topped her husband's original performance, but it's pretty amazing.
30. "Livin' On a Prayer" by Danielle Brooks
She FLEW on stage. You just can't beat that. This is the definition of bringing down the house.
31. "No Scrubs" by Zoe Saldana
Saldana is insanely good at lip sync. You need to watch not only this one, but her "Stressed Out" one as well.
32. "Get UR Freak On" by Zachary Quinto
Quinto battled against Zoe Saldana and I'm honestly calling this a draw because they did so good. Again, watch this song, and his "Freedom" performance.
33. "Whatta Man" by Lupito Nyong'o
Another celebrity I'm in love with, another stellar performance.
34. "Raise Your Glass" by Ruby Rose
Again, I love it when they fly in. Besides being an absolute babe, Rose proved she can lip sing, dance, and knock over tables better than anyone.
35. "O.P.P." by Samira Wiley
The only thing better than Wiley's ABSOLUTELY ON POINT lip singing is her dance moves.
36. "Lose My Breath" by Laverne Cox
37. "Toxic" by Clark Gregg
Agent Phil Coulson can lead the Avengers, and dance like Britney. This is the stuff of a trippy dream but totally works.
38. "Bad Romance" by Haley Atwell
Atwell aka Peggy Carter had already shown us that she was the queen of dubsmashing, but this crazy Lady Gaga performance proved she can lip sing too.
39. "24K Magic" by Zendaya
Flawless. Amazing. Stunning. Perfect. This honestly would have been the best of the best and killed any competition if she hadn't been again Tom Holland.
40. "Umbrella" by Tom Holland
Oh.My.God. Nothing is better than this, no one in lip sync history will ever be able to top this. The mashup of Rihanna's hit + 'Singing In The Rain' is sheer perfection.
Holland has the moves, with lots of umbrella grinding and a flip/death drop combo that will leave you shook. Who knew Spiderman had such moves?
Bonus
Chrissy Teigen is truly the queen of everything, including her 45 second performance of 'Baby One More Time'.
