Country superstar Blake Shelton was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2017 and the Internet has a few thoughts about it.
Shelton was humbled when he heard the news, telling the mag, "Y'all must be running out of people," and crediting girlfriend of two years Gwen Stefani with convincing him to accept the honor.
But the real highlight for Shelton was getting to rub it in "Voice" co-star Adam Levine's face. "I can't wait to shove this up Adam's ass,” Shelton said. "As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that's really the only thing I care about."

View StoryThe magazine helped him do just that, filming a video where he drove his "Voice" co-star -- and 2013's "Sexiest Man Alive" -- blindfolded to the side of a building to unveil a larger-than-life rendition of the new cover.
Sorry @AdamLevine—you're not the only judge to hold the #SexiestManAlive title! It's a new era, right @BlakeShelton? https://t.co/HIJaSOnSBL pic.twitter.com/VXYXfH7hd0

While Shelton had his supporters -- and none louder than Shelton himself -- many others were vocally confused by People's choice, and offered some alternatives of their own through Twitter.
Here are some of the best:

Blake Shelton is People's Sexiest Man Alive because apparently Idris Elba, Chris Evans and Jason Momoa fell off the planet last night.
@TheJennC
Blake Shelton is about as sexy as a gluten free saltine cracker

BREAKING: Trump orders Jeff Sessions to name a special prosecutor to investigate whether Hillary conspired with People Magazine to name Blake Shelton as 2017's "Sexiest Man Alive" instead of Trump.
@TeaPartyCat
How can you trust straight people when they chose Blake Shelton as the sexiest among them
@elielcruz
I don't want to live in a country where Blake Shelton is considered sexiest anything. What has happened to my poor country?!? 🙈 #SexiestManAlive
@StephAutryAU
Blake Shelton's creepy milk ass face makes me feel personally attacked. And I had to google him.
@liongirl528
You had one job, People.
Maybe They wanted a safe choice dud to all the other actors past and misconduct storieS?
@lipkinlip
Blake Shelton looks like any tall dude at Circle K getting a six pack in the south on Fri night. These people don't get out much.
@Von_a_thon
2017 has been such a crap year that @people chose @blakeshelton as the sexiest man alive. Please make it stop.
@HaleyyMcC
WHO are these people that think Blake Shelton is the sexiest man alive!? This is honestly really offensive.
@ZachFoley
Blake Shelton as #SexiestManAlive is finally proclaiming what we already know. It's a joke and can be brought, easily.

Trump is President. Blake Shelton is the Sexiest Man Alive. Snooki better start planning her Nobel Prize speech.
@susie_meister
But perhaps the last word on the new champ should go to the people's champion of 2016, the reigning "Sexiest Man Alive" (until the new issue comes out Friday, at least), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He posted the following just a few hours before the big reveal Tuesday night:
Let's all just take a moment to recognize @people's Sexiest Man Alive will always be the 6'5 260lbs of tattooed brown eyed soul. And clearly there's lots of steamy cheese on this pizza I'm serving. That is all. Let's get back to work. https://t.co/Dw0lBt84JN
