Lip Sync Battle, as a standalone show, is a genius concept for two primary reasons. The first being that celebrities will appear on the show, pick out a rad song, and display their own hidden senses of rhythm and music fandom to absolutely crush it beyond everyone’s expectations.
The second reason is that sometimes celebrities will appear and put in such a mystifyingly ridiculous performance that it goes becomes its own horrific spectacle.
And thus, we have Mike Tyson, adorned in what appears to be shiny black meggings that unfortunately leave far too little to the imagination, leaping onto the stage to thrust, gyrate, and generally do everything EXCEPT lip syncing as Salt N Pepa‘s “Push It” plays over the top.

So many questions.
- Why the leggings?
- Is thrusting literally the only dance move he has in his arsenal?
- Why in Dog’s name did he choose “Hello, boys!” as his end pose?
- Does a brush exist that’s capable of scrubbing my brain clean of seeing Mike Tyson make the cunnilingus hand/tongue gesture?
- Why isn’t this show just Chrissy Teigen playing records, wearing dope jackets and grooving along by herself?
Because I refuse to suffer this alone, here’s this. Good luck mustering the desire to touch another human being ever again.
