See the first look at MTV's One Direction VMA promo! 

We don't wanna pick favorites or anything, but we're VERY VERY (perhaps THE MOST?) excited for One Direction's forthcoming VMA performance! And that doesn't mean we're not crazy psyched for Green Day's VMA gig or Pink's time on the VMA stage, it's just THESE FACES! We can't.

Oh, and speaking of the two-time MTV VMA nominees' adorable mugs, we've got some great news: One Direction's VMA promo spot is airing TONIGHT during the premiere of The Inbetweeners at 10:30 E.T. on MTV. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've thrown together a few more GIFs of our favorite 1D moments. Though, we'd also spend hours making 1D GIFs on any ordinary day BECAUSE IT'S JUST THAT IMPORTANT. Enjoy!

See more animated One Direction after the jump!
