Monday marks the beginning of the 10th season of Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Since 2003, Ellen has added a unique style to the daytime talk show scene. Instead of just introducing guests, she dances with them — or sneaks up on them. Instead of just interviewing celebrities on a couch and giving them the royal treatment, she makes them act goofy in hidden camera sketches. Her self-deprecating humor makes her endearing, human and relatable. We’ve rounded up our favorite Ellen moments since the show’s debut — from that time she made Justin Timberlake feel awkward about his underwear to her hilarious reading of Fifty Shades of Grey. We dare you to watch these clips and not laugh — or start dancing.
