The Los Angeles Dodgers scored a 5-0 victory at Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

But what had everyone cheering on the internet was the smooth manner in which Dodgers' infielder Trea Turner touched the home plate during the sixth inning.


The nimble speedster's graceful glide instantly became an iconic MLB moment despite an admirable throw by right fielder Bryce Harper to stop him.

More impressive, Turner used the remaining momentum to get up with his bottom leg and recover with a twirl, all in one move.

You're not ready.

The Dodgers' social media team posted a two-second playback of the Turner Ballet with this accurate description:

"Smooth like butter, pull you in like no other."

And just like that, the clip went viral and sparked a frenzy of memes, many of which were set to familiar tunes.

In a word, Turner was smooth.


He was so smooth, it was criminal, which is why his slide was synced to Michael Jackson's classic pop hit of the same name.


The playlist continued with the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."


Up next was Masked Wolf's "Astronaut in the Ocean."

The comedians of Twitter seized an opportunity to comment with DM jokes.





It was also all about Turner's recovery.







MLB just got a new fan.



"I've been doing that a long time," Turner told MLB of his signature move.

"That's just how I slide, I guess. I try to not hit the ground very hard because it usually doesn't feel great, so I try to be as soft as I can and slide, whether it's head-first or feet-first."
"I try to avoid tags, but that's just how I've slid basically my whole life."

Musk’s political spending is expected to climb beyond the $474 million reported so far, since contributions made after October 14 have not yet been included in the tally. Of the amount currently documented, $216 million was directed to his own super PAC, America PAC, including $212 million earmarked for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.

Gynecologists Are Weighing In With Hilarious Warnings Due To Overwhelming 'Wicker' Thirst

Wicker has been in theaters for a couple of weeks now and it's causing quite a stir. The quirky romantic fantasy stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely from wicker and Olivia Colman as the lonely fisherwoman who grows so tired of her town's ridicule that she commissions the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband.

Despite the film's romantic subtext and its pushback against social norms, much of the online chatter has focused on the more intimate moments. And people are wondering how complete Skarsgård's costume was, particularly the appendage that made those sexy scenes memorable.

Whew! How 'bout those midterms, huh? Just blow after blow and shock after shock dealt to the Republicans of the country—and nowhere more intensely than in Texas.

Texas is arguably the story of the midterms, a state that hasn't gone blue in decades and hasn't been won by a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1976.
