If nothing else, the season finale of America’s Best Dance Crew reflected just how deeply b-boying has invaded the public consciousness through popular media.

Like it or not, the two final crews were both prominent b-boy and b-girl crews that brought b-boyism, Nike Windrunners, and Madcon’s “Beggin” to MTV. Hell, the trophy given to the winners by Randy Jackson was even called the “Golden B-Boy” (seriously?)

With three consecutive wins from b-boy crews, it seems that b-boying and its manifestations on stage have become a necessity for the show’s contestants.

And of course, there was no shortage of life lessons from Lil Mama–nuggets of wisdom I like to call Lil Mama-isms.

- G.O.P. is Latin. That’s what they do.

- Tonight, you have given hope and inspiration to young girls—and woman—all over the globe.

- Let me tell you, let me tell you bof, let me tell you bof. You bof are like superheroes. I didn’t tell you, you guys remind me of the Ninja Turtles. My brother used to love the Ninja Turtles.
