"Worst episode of The Cube ever."
Aside from 'Love Island', last night's big TV moment came in the form of two cheeks of the same arse Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin battling out for their political lives on TV.
Like two gladiators circling themselves in a pitted combat arena, the two politicians traded barbs, left uncomfortable silences when asked if they taken drugs, and basically fumbled their way through to an end that satisfied nobody.
So, how did it go down on Twitter? Amidst all the very legitimate anger and highlighting how Sinn Féin - who are currently polling only two points behind Fine Gael - were excluded from the debate, there were a few funny tweets to be had.
Here's ten of the best.

Can Fine Gael cling to power like a tenant clinging to the lease of their 2k-a-month bedsit next to a busy landfill? Or will Fianna Fáil get another shot at wrecking the country in a new decade? Stay tuned. #VMTVBigDebate #Leadersdebate

You were shite.
No I wasn't. You were shite.
You were shiter.
No, you were total shite.
I wasn't minister then.
Neither was I.
You're still shite.
