Nothing says love like a little social media trolling.

On Tuesday afternoon, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian hopped on Instagram Live to chat with his followers. Those who tuned in took the opportunity to ask questions about parenting, running a business, Armenian culture, and more.

His wife, tennis legend Serena Williams, on the other hand, saw it as a perfect opportunity to troll her husband for all the world to see.

Twitter user @agerenesh captured screenshots of Williams' riveting commentary and A+ trolling.

"Say something exciting?" she suggested.

Williams kicked her trolling up a notch when she tagged Ohanian's sister, who was also commenting on the livestream. Together, they dragged Ohanian for his apparently lacking winter sports skills.

Other inquiries included whether or not Ohanian has visited Williams' hometown of Compton, California.

She also used the opportunity to ask for a gift: "Can you surprise me with a bag?"

Ohanian laughed this one off and revealed that he's been planning to buy her a "get well soon" present following a chest muscle injury that resulted in her withdrawal from the French Open this week.

"Should I get my amazing wife a get-well gift tomorrow?" he asked viewers. "I'm not going to say where we will go shopping, because there will be a bunch of people there," he explained. "But it's already happened. I was already gonna get her a bag or some kind of gift or something."

The couple also publicly debated his height (Williams claims Ohanian is 6' 3" and Ohanian claims he is 6' 5"), whether or not their daughter will receive a gift as well, and if Ohanian can dance ("Do you have 3 left feet?" Williams teased.)

All this is to say: Williams is the only acceptable internet troll.
