Editorial disclosure: I’ve never watched Dancing With the Stars before, and I’ve really never had any desire to. I say this as someone who has no problem consuming what’s usually classified as “trash TV.” It just seems something that’s extra sad, the sparkly, unitard-laden resting place where reality television stars go to die.
Anyways, Sean Spicer is on it this season, which definitely ups the sadness factor a full notch. And oh, boy, did he not disappoint: The former White House Press Secretary came out in a flouncy, fluorescent green blouse, the likes of which even Liberace would think about wearing twice. And, because this is 2019 and who TF even knows what is happening anymore, his routine was set to the Spice Girls and began with him playing a set of bongos. Please observe below:

To be fair, he did warn us, though:
Trust me, I certainly haven’t forgotten and once you see the outfit I have to wear tonight you won’t forget for quite some time — even after lots of therapy Treat this like looking at an eclipse with a dot poked in a piece of paper ( @ABC 8pmET) #DWTS @DancingABC #DWTS28 https://t.co/w8IjOeua7X

Because this is the sort of thing that seems to have been made for the internet, of course we had to round-up some of the best Spicey DWTS tweets. Behold the Twitter-verse delighting:

We can’t wait to see how flexible Sean Spicer is on Dancing with the Stars since he had his spine removed years ago. #DWTS

If @SeanSpicer had done a few press briefings dressed like this he might have lasted longer. pic.twitter.com/K65FU3NcXV

Folks, if you had a bad day yesterday, or if you woke up this morning feeling down, take comfort in knowing today is a new day, and you are not Sean Spicer.

Happy Wednesday, all. May you channel the energy of Spicer shimmying on national television.
