Win Butler of Arcade Fire poked fur at Kanye West at the first ever Youtube awards, in a parody of his infamous shunning of Taylor Swift at the MTV awards. See Butler in action below.
Taking place at the inaugural Youtube Awards the skit saw Win Butler interrupting during the presentation of the Youtube Phenomenon award which was won by Taylor Swift's, 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. In the Swift's absence the award was presented instead to a group of Taylor Swift fans, however Butler interrupts the presentation of the award by saying that the 'Harlem Shake' should have won before throwing the mic down.
