The Oscars and Grammys and Tonys and Emmys may have prestige, they may have grandeur, and they may offer us all a chance to see just how, um, "rested," the faces of some iconic stars have become (Hey Babs!), but there is one thing they will never have -- Britney Spears engaging in a hot and heavy makeout session with Madonna. As Christina Aguilera looks on.

In other words kids, thank god the MTV Video Music Awards are back.

This Sunday, August 25, at at 9 p.m. ET/PT, living legends like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Kanye West and Drake will take the stage to sing some music, pick up some Moonmen and, more importantly, create a few WTF moments.

This is why our friends at VH1 have wisely decided to salute the few, the proud, and, most importantly, the fame hungry, that have come before in giving us the one thing the Video Music Awards will always deliver with their 15 classic WTF moments.

Head here and see them now.

And, as far as WTF moments go, if Justin Timberlake is totally cool with it not jealous at all thinking about the lyrics to "Cry Me A River" uncomfortable, you know shit got crazy.

God bless GIFs.
