The Best Audience Reactions at the 2017 VMAs

Eating a banana on camera is peak 2017 VMAs.

The VMAs have given us some amazing pop culture moments over the years. From wardrobe malfunctions to legendary performances, there's always plenty to talk about. But if there's one thing that MTV knows, it's that nothing beats the reactions of the celebrities in the crowd. That's why there's an audience camera--so we can see all of those reactions in real time. There was this one, where Justin Timberlake looked on as his ex Britney Spears made out with Christina Aguilera on stage at the 2003 VMAs:
