It is with a heavy heart that I report that Lip Sync Battle is back from its hiatus. I know, I know, we’re all supposed to love this stuff. It’s not bad, but I must ask: when will the lip-syncing stop? When will we demand more from our stars? When will we have the karaoke competition show of my dreams?
But I digress. On last night’s episode, the beautiful and talented Alison Brie faced off against the beautiful and talented Will Arnett. In the first round of the night, Brie worked it to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Shoop” while Arnett chose to tackle one of the most historically annoying songs, the Baha Men’s “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

Who indeed?
Moving on, the second round of the night (if you remember, this is when the costumes come out), Arnett channeled his inner LEGO for “Everything is Awesome” from The LEGO Movie. Brie was, well, an adult, and went with Jessie J’s “Bang Bang,” and I’ll have to hand it to her: she manages to handle the Nicki Minaj verse better than any of us could’ve expected. Brie went on to win Lip Sync Battle this week…watch, and you’ll see why for yourself.
