If you missed this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee, you missed a heck of a ride, partner.
Because this year, instead of crowning one winner, the prestigious bee crowned eight. You read that right. EIGHT. WINNERS!!!
Why? Because these brilliant, glowing children spelled so perfectly that the committee literally RAN OUT OF WORDS. These kids beat the ACTUAL DICTIONARY.
Naturally, the jokes were flying. Here are the best tweets:

I would have made these kids spell words all night long. Stage just littered with Monster cans and Skittles bags. No bathroom breaks. Just a lawless test of survival. Now that would be a spelling bee.

YOOOOO LETS FUCKING GO. All 8 kids passed the 20th round and are co-champions. First time ever they have more than 1 champ and I'm about to yeet myself out of this plane. I just got drunk while watched 2 hours of a historic #spellingbee and holy shit was it great.
