6 all-time viral National Spelling Bee moments you need to rewatch
6 all-time viral National Spelling Bee moments you need to rewatch Happy 100th anniversary to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the event that teaches us all about great sportsmanship, the intensity of competition and -- oh, right -- how to spell some really, really REALLY tough words. But since the event was televised -- mostly on ESPN for a while -- we've been given some wild, weird and downright shocking moments as these impressive kids try to win a ginormous trophy and the glory of having their name among the all-time spelling champs. With 100 years of S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G to look back on, we selected six of the wildest viral National Spelling Bee moments that you should rewatch. Here they are, in no particular order of importance: 1. The EUONYM mic drop, 1997 This is the first viral moment I can remember from young Rebecca, who knew EUONYM for the win and nailed it with ease. 2. The Napoleon Dynamite imitation, 2005 Dominic nailed the spelling AND the line from Napoleon Dynamite. 10/10. 3. The Drake reference, 2015 I love when there's a pop culture reference, as you can see. And now I'll never forget what a bacchius is. 4. The faint, 2004 Poor Akshay Buddiga. He stumbled, he fell .. and then got up nailed the word. 5. "Sardoodledom," 2007 Admit it: you laughed too, didn't you? 6. The Milkshake mistake, 2014 Oops. But this was a happy mistake in my opinion! We need more funny sentences involving Drake and Kelis and beyond! Even with how intense it all is, a little humor breaks it all up, right?
