You just couldn't help yourself. Which of these pop-culture talking points did you fall for?
Charlie Sheen’s catchphrases
Sometimes there's just nothing to say except "winning."
Rebecca Black’s videos
Partyin' partyin' yeah! Partyin' partyin' yeah! Fun fun fun fun…
Anderson Cooper’s high-pitched giggle
Enough with the world news. More giggling at potty jokes!
Justin Bieber’s movie 'Never Say Never'
How cute are those home videos of baby Justin and his little drum set?
Nicki Minaj’s crazy style
She kind of dresses like you used to dress your Barbie dolls -- and you just can't get enough.
One night a week just doesn't seem like enough. Which fictional family would you gladly share a beach house with?
The Dunphys & Pritchetts from 'Modern Family'
Because everything they do becomes a competition – in the most fun way possible. Pumpkin chucking, anyone?
The Brinkleys from 'Up All Night'
Because no one knows how to kick back like a frazzled working mom and an exhausted stay-at-home dad.
The Bravermans from 'Parenthood'
Because even when this big family is at its most dysfunctional, their love for each other always comes first.
The Chances from 'Raising Hope'
Because they may not be smart, but they're endlessly entertaining.
The Griffins from 'Family Guy'
Because you've secretly always wanted to share a daiquiri with a talking dog.
The Harpers from 'Two and a Half Men'
Because you could spend the vacation dishing with Berta. Besides, Alan could use a good woman to help him unwind.
You once watched them on MTV, now you watch them on YouTube at work. Which music video had you dancing at your desk?
Rihanna: "We Found Love"
The year's most cinematic music video followed a turbulent love affair from beginning to end. Was it based on her real-life relationship with Chris Brown?
Lady Gaga: "You and I"
She's a cyborg! She's a mermaid! She's a man! Even for Lady Gaga, this video was full of surprises.
Beyonce: "Countdown"
No baby bump has ever looked more stylish than Beyonce's in this '60s-inspired video.
Katy Perry: "Last Friday Night"
The cameos alone (Rebecca Black! Corey Feldman!) merit repeat viewings of Perry's party anthem.
Bruno Mars: "The Lazy Song"
It's one continuous shot, and it stars dancing monkeys. What's not to like?
LMFAO: "Sexy and I Know It"
There's just something about Redfoo's leopard-print speedo that makes it impossible to look away.
This year, we bid adieu to some of television's most beloved personalities and shows. Whose goodbye had you reaching for the tissues?
Oprah Winfrey on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'
Talk shows may come and go, but Oprah's farewell was truly the end of an era.
Meredith Vieira on 'Today'
She was one of the realest women on daytime. We just hope she's not gone for good.
'All My Children'
The "to be continued" ending made this long-running soap's cancellation even more painful. At least Susan Lucci got her Emmy before it was over!
Regis Philbin on 'Live with Regis & Kelly'
After 25 years of hosting, he left some big shoes to fill. So far, no one's up to the task!
Steve Carell on 'The Office'
We laughed, we cried, and we wished it could have been longer. ("That's what she said!")
'One Life to Live'
The Lord family and their neighbors lasted 44 seasons until January's bittersweet farewell.
Even celebrities mess up from time to time. Which star's "oops" moment was the most cringe-worthy?
Charlie Sheen accidentally tweets his phone number
He was trying to send Justin Bieber a direct message. Admit it – you thought about texting him.
Lady Gaga mistakenly calls Anna Wintour "b—ch"
The pop diva mistakenly thought it was a pal texting her -- and playfully responded to the 'Vogue' editor. At least she didn't insult her outfit!
Dean McDermott tweets photo of Tori’s boobs
He gained lots of Twitter followers -- and, lucky for him, wife Tori Spelling took it in stride.
Madonna hates on hydrangeas
Only a true diva expects fans to know her flower preferences!
Nancy Grace "toots" on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Between this and her wardrobe malfunction, Grace's stint on 'DWTS' was both revealing AND a real gas.
