Seated behind moderator and Fox News host Chris Wallace, one man decided to take advantage of where he was seated and hit the dab.

Two teen girls seated behind Fox News anchor Meygn Kelly repeatedly hit the dab when they knew they were in a camera shot.

The dance comes from the Atlanta hip-hop scene and originated with the rap group Migos.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made the dance widely popular by doing it to celebrate football plays.

Some saw the humor in the girls dabbing at the debate.

But others were not amused by their moves.

But the people dabbing probably didn't care.
