The reactions to the first presidential debate were abundant, profound, darkly disturbing, and hilarious.
1. Hillary did.
\u201cSomebody is going to get lucky tonight, and it\u2019s not Donald Trump. #Debates\u201d— Chelsea Handler (@Chelsea Handler) 1474940532

6. So, what's Trump really sniffing?
\u201cA lot of people are saying Trump is on coke, which is ridiculous. People on cocaine love to talk about their specific plans for the future.\u201d— Josh Gondelman (@Josh Gondelman) 1474945426
7. And probz have really bad breath.
\u201cOne of these people looks like a president. The other looks like he'd dance way too close to you at a wedding.\u201d— Lena Dunham (@Lena Dunham) 1474943641
8. It's real...it's politics. Put us DOWN.
\u201c"Did you listen to Trump tonight? He was just making stuff up left and right. This can't be real."\u201d— deray (@deray) 1474944046
9. Mhm. Have you checked Twitter yet?
\u201cPrediction: by sunrise, right wing twitter will be teeming with mic conspiracies. #debatenight\u201d— Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid \ud83d\ude37 (@Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid \ud83d\ude37) 1474958498
10. She served SO MUCH shade. It's why it's cloudy in NYC today.
\u201c"He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them" most subtle shade tonight imho\u201d— Alexandra Petri (@Alexandra Petri) 1474943761
11. I know. 400 pound bed sounds v v plush.

13. It was spectacular and never moved.
\u201cHillary has better hair #debatenight\u201d— Courtney Act (@Courtney Act) 1474943531
14. God, 12-year-old Trump sounds like a horror, too.
\u201c"Vote for me because I was going to say something mean about Hillary but I didn't." Trump running for 7th grade class pres. #debatenight\u201d— April (@April) 1474943882
15. Just. Yes.
\u201cSpeaking is difficult for me. But come January, I want to say these two words: \u201cMadam President.\u201d #debatenight\u201d— Gabrielle Giffords (@Gabrielle Giffords) 1474945200
16. Teach that class, Hill.
\u201cTalking about world issues, she sounds like the teacher & he, the loutish loser in the back row. @HillaryClinton #itrusther\u201d— Jamie Lee Curtis (@Jamie Lee Curtis) 1474942766
17. Girl needed one of those stress squeeze-y ball things.
\u201cbtw, you know a charge agst Trump is 100% provably true when he interrupts with "Wrong!" #debates\u201d— Bill Maher (@Bill Maher) 1474942685
18. Can we get #WhiteBalls trending? Please?
\u201cWow. The racist candidate brings up her saying "superpredator." That took some very white balls. #debatenight\u201d— Michael Moore (@Michael Moore) 1474941407
19. Yeah, let's look for that today.
\u201cTrump to date has produced no certificate proving he wasn't born a total douchebag. Many people saying, I'm told.\u201d— George Takei (@George Takei) 1474941835
20. As are we.
