People on the internet have a lot of unpleasant opinions that they feel duty-bound to bestow on the world.

Well, late night host Lilly Singh has found a use for the hateful YouTube comments she receives about her new show A Little Late.

Singh began by saying she's spotted young women on TikTok doing interpretive dance moves to the sound of their exes saying negative things to them. In the absence of any ex-related content, Singh decided to dance to the angry YouTube comments she receives. And frankly, it's a work of performance art.

She busts some brilliant moves, too. She channels Beyoncé's "All The Single Ladies" video, she rocks the Floss, and the Robot.

Singh begins her dancing to the sound of the comment: "This is literally the worst thing I have ever seen. Who gave her this show?"

"I hate this on so many levels, not even about being sexist, I just hate it in general," opines another commenter.

"Who was like, oh hey let's give the most unfunny person ever a show? Yeah great idea," remarked another.

I think it's clear that it was a great idea, actually.
