We’re very sorry, Chewbacca Mom.

We really hope you enjoyed your 15 Minutes of Fame.

Because Michael Senatore has now arrived to become the latest Internet sensation.

A senior at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, Senatore took part in the school’s talent show on Tuesday.

Did he sing? Did he juggle? Did he dance? Did he come up with an original poem? No, no, no and no.

Instead, Senatore slowly and confidently walked across the stage while some dramatic symphony music blared in the auditorium to set the tone.

Then, the music stopped.

And Senatore stopped at well, pausing in front of a table to flip a plastic water bottle in the air and watch as it landed perfectly on its bottom.

He then cooly walked away, as the CROWD WENT NUTS.

Really, that’s it. That’s the entirety of Senatore’s talent.

But the simplicity of the act, along with the reaction of those in attendance, has caused this video to go crazy viral. It has been viewed over 790,000 times in just over 24 hours.

“The flip heard round the world,” Senatore Tweeted in response to the popularity of the footage.

The bottle he flipped, meanwhile, is now on sale on eBay. The current bid stands at $14,850.00.

We can’t help but wonder: Was Senatore aware he’d be able to flip the bottle? Did he practice this act?

Or did he just grab a water bottle at the last second and figure he’d give it a whirl on stage?

All we know is that the person who shared this video on Twitter wrote as a caption that "@Mike_Senatore FLIPPED A WATER BOTTLE FOR OUR TALENT SHOW AND ITS THE MOST LIT THING I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED."

We sort of agree. See for yourself:
