The Internet's favorite thing to talk about hosted SNL this past weekend—before you get excited, we're not talking about that cat with the flat face and missing teeth, we're talking Miley Cyrus, in all her teeny-bopper-gone-wrong glory. She appeared in a skit as a disgruntled teen in a classroom that gets a new teacher for a special poetry lesson.

Why y'all quiet?
