Hey, Emmys: how about a spoiler alert? The awards show tonight featured a bizarre and spoiler-full montage as a tribute to the shows that ended this year.
Needless to say, the Internet (and all of us who haven't had the luxury of binge-watching all of these TV shows in a bunker like host Andy Samberg) were livid after watching these clips. While we didn't frown at the Emmys clips that included The Colbert Report or The Daily Show, we definitely mouthed a "WTF" when we saw some major spoilers for the series finales of series like True Blood, Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire. We even found out how Two and a Half Men ended, if you were even curious.
"Welcome back to the Spoiler Awards," Samberg said after the montage aired. Well, that's very true.
Here's the montage video, if you don't mind spoilers:
Now, on to the viewer reactions, which included an upset Ellen DeGeneres:
Thanks #Emmys. I had DVRed all of those shows.
